Adler loves dogs more than Axl

The title above is the perfect example of how comments from artists can be taken out of context, because Adler actually seems to love Axl. He loves all of his former bandmates actually. I mean, you shouldn’t know that, it’s not like this is the millionth time the drummer has kissed their ass and begged for a reunion.

Basically this is yet another story about how much original Guns N’ Roses drummer, Steven Adler, really really wants a GNR reunion. He even prays to the invisible man in the sky for Axl Rose to consider it, although I can’t see that doing much help. I would think money would be more up Axl’s street, rather than prayers…

Adler admits there’s no one that he loves more than the GNR guys. That is except his grandmother and his dogs. Interview exerpts after the jump.

Guns N' Roses to play Israel

No, not the guys above. The guys that look and sound completely different, but seem to share the same name. I would post a picture of them, but they have like 25 recurring members, and fuck knows who any of them are.

Guns N’ Roses haven’t performed in Israel in 17 years. Although Israel won’t be seeing the band again any time soon, they will soon be “fortunate” enough to witness the shambolic performance of Axl Rose‘s band, that by coincidence happens to share the same name. Hey, they may not have Slash, but they do have like 3 guitarists taking over his role.

According to Ynetnews, Guns N’ Roses will perform two shows in Israel at the end of the year, on December 18 and 19 at the Nokia Arena in Tel Aviv.

Adler's Appetite for Europe

Glorified Guns N’ Roses tribute band, led by former drummer, Steven Adler, Adler’s Appetite have confirmed a European tour for 2011.

For those that don’t know, Adler’s Appetite are a little like the other GNR tribute act out there, but instead of being led by the former ginger singer, this one’s led by the former ginger drummer (is he ginger? He has weird hair regardless).

If you want to check out a glorified Guns N’ Roses tribute band destroy old classics on stage, I’d recommend seeing Guns N’ Roses Adler’s Appetite. Maybe they’re good actually… Dates after the jump.

Limps N' Roses

Everyone’s favorite Nu-Metal band (which is a bit like saying everyone’s favorite child molester, lets be honest), Limp Bizkit recently covered Guns N’ Roses’ Sweet Child O’ Mine at a concert in Moscow, Russia.

The band added their own twist to the song… (Read: Dumbed it down), before breaking into Hot Dog.

Check out the cover after the jump. It’s almost as good as the Axl Rose solo band’s cover (AKA the current lineup of Gun’s N’ Roses). Limp Bizkit don’t walk off stage part of the way through though.

Slash should write for us…

When it comes to making fun of Guns N’ Roses and Poison, we thought we were actually  good. Guess what? Slash is better.

Few excerpts from the interview Classic Rock Revisited conducted with our new hero:

Classic Rock Revisited: [One of the] singers I would have loved to have seen on your solo album . . . is Axl Rose.

Slash: You know, I will be honest with you, even at the sake of it going public, when I was in the middle of this process there were a lot of singers names who flew through my mind during the process. You are living in Singer Land so all you are thinking about is singers. The thought of him crossed my mind at one point. I thought, “Axl could sing the shit out of any of these songs.” I, obviously, never made the phone call because I wanted to put the record out in this millennium.

Classic Rock Revisited: Legend holds that you tried out for Poison but didn’t make the cut. Is that true?

Slash: Yeah, I did. I was living in L.A. and I had just gotten done working in a band with Axl, actually, called Hollywood Rose. Steven Adler was in that band as well. I just quit. I told Axl I couldn’t handle it anymore and I walked. That was right after the first time Axl and I ever worked together. Matt, the original guitar player for Poison, who was actually a pretty cool guy, had gotten his wife pregnant or they were getting married or something like that. He was moving back to Pennsylvania. He goes, “You should try out for Poison.” I hated Poison but in those days you did whatever you had to do to keep moving. Being very ambitious, as I was, I went and auditioned for Poison. I ended up being one of two guitar players left that they were going to pick from. I remember kicking the shit out of the songs they had. There was no denying that I could play them but there was an issue about makeup and stuff. Bobby Dall asked me what kind of shoes I was going to wear. I was like, “What?” It was kind of obvious that this was going to go nowhere. As I was walking out of the audition, C.C. Deville was walking in. He had on pancake makeup and a ton of hairspray. I actually remember thinking right then, “That should be the guy.” The next day I got a call from Bobby and he said, “You know, you are great and all but I think we are going to pass on you and go with this other guy.” It was C.C. and it really did make all the sense in the world. I was in a couple of bands after that and then we started Guns N’ Roses.
