2005.06.03 - The Rock Radio - Interview with Steven [excerpt]

"Axl's Chinese Democracy is crap"

EXCLUSIVE - Tune in this Sunday June 5, 2005 as the original Guns N' Roses drummer Steven Adler, now on the road with his band Adler's Appetite, talks about Axl Rose, how the singer threatened to kill him, the long overdue Chinese Democracy album, drug addiction in the Guns N' Roses camp and why he was thrown out of the band.

"Axl ruins it not for himself and for the rest of us (Slash, Izzy, Duff, Steven) but he ruins it for the fans. We all know he is great but he has his moments, well lots of moments... he's a jackass basically, a fucking weirdo, and he can kiss my ass" says Alder.

About Chinese Democracy: "If he puts it out he thinks he'll sell 20 million copies. Well, maybe he's lucky if he goes gold. There's no hits on it, it's crap."

Steven Adler does not rule out a reunion with all original Guns N' Roses band members but sets one precondition: "I have to punch [Axl Rose] in the face. I have to get one good shot at him first. The fucker has waisted so much of my time, so much of people's times."

To be broadcast this Sunday during Guns N' Roses Hour (regular listeners note the timeteble - Guns N' Roses Hour is now broadcast later in the day).
