2011.04.30 - Matty P's Radio Happy Hour/Blabbermouth - Interview with Steven

Former Guns N' Roses and current Adler's Appetite drummer Steven Adler was interviewed on last week's edition of "Matty P's Radio Happy Hour". You can now listen to the chat using the audio player below. (Note: The Adler interview begins around the 84-minute mark.)

On whether Guns N' Roses singer Axl Rose is as much of a diva as everyone makes him out to be:

Adler: "He's not a diva, he's an asshole. One of the greatest assholes of all time — and I say that with love."

On seeing the "new" version of Guns N' Roses in Las Vegas in 2006:

Adler: "First off, I walked into the venue and I saw three guys playing guitar that all looked like Izzy. It's funny that [Axl] needs three guitar players to take the place of one. He's got three guitar players to take care of [Slash's guitar duties]. That just shows how great Slash is. . . At first, his manager told me to leave. I walked in and he said, 'Dude, you better leave. I don't want Axl to get pissed off.' So I left, and I'm opening the front door to my house and my phone is ringing and I answer it and it's his manager, Del. He goes, 'Dude, I'm sorry. He wants to see you.' So I got in the car and went right back."
