Fresh
off recent appearances on VH1’s “That Metal Show” and “Sober House”,
Steven and company are hitting the road this summer in support of
Adler’s tell-all biography, “My Appetite For Destruction: Sex, Drugs &
Guns N’ Roses”, which is set for a July 27 release through
HarperCollins.
The tour will also mark the debut of new original
material from the band, which includes guitarists Alex Grossi (ex-QUIET
RIOT) and Michael Thomas (FASTER PUSSYCAT), bassist Chip Z’nuff (ENUFF
Z’NUFF) and vocalist Rick Stitch (LADYJACK).
“We are really
looking forward to getting back out there and playing some new
material,” says Adler. “As much as we love doing all the old GN’R stuff,
which of course we will continue to do, it will be nice to show the fans
that there is so much more to this band than what people have seen”.
Supporting ADLER’S APPETITE on the tour will be Texas-based
ANCHORED, whose new single, “Dirty in Texas”, will drop on
June 15.
BIO
Steven Adler,
best known as the original drummer of “GUNS
N' ROSES”, one
of the most influential, ground-breaking hard rock bands to emerge from
the late-80's L.A. hard rock scene, has returned to pick up where he left
off.
GN'R's debut album,
"APPETITE
FOR DESTRUCTION," which features
Adler's signature groove, will forever be considered one of the greatest
rock albums ever made. Adler also recorded the album
"GN'R LIES" and the track
"Civil War" on the
album
"USE YOUR ILLUSION 2." Following
Steven's success with GN'R, he
was involved in several other projects, including "ROADCREW" with front
man Davy Vain and “Freaks in the Room” with Gilby Clarke. In 2002, Adler,
along with other well-known L.A. musicians,
formed what would later turn into the first incarnation of "Adler’s
Appetite."
In
2007,
“Adler's Appetite”
celebrated the 20th anniversary of “Appetite
for Destruction” with a sold out show
at The Key Club, where
Duff Mckagan and Izzy
Stradlin (original GN'R members) both
jumped at the chance to jam with Steven on stage. Witnesses at the event
hailed it as the closest anyone would ever see to an original “GUNS
N' ROSES” reunion.2008
saw Steven become a household name as the breakout star of the
VH1's hit series "Celebrity Rehab 2"
and "Sober House". Steven has made multiple appearances on Dr.
Drew's nationally syndicated radio show "Loveline," and was an award
presenter at the 2009 POLLSTAR AWARDS.
2008

Drew's nationally syndicated radio show "Loveline," and was an award
presenter at the 2009 POLLSTAR AWARDS.
Building upon that momentum, Steven decided to redefine "Adler's
Appetite" and
put together what both fans and critics have called the strongest line-up
of the band to date. “Adler’s
Appetite” consists of veteran and platinum selling artist
Chip
Z'Nuff (Enuff Z'Nuff), guitarists
Alex
Grossi (ex- Quiet Riot)
and Michael Thomas (Faster Pussycat),
and Rick Stitch on
vocals from LA band "Ladyjack".
On
January 17, 2009,
the band made its debut to a maximum capacity crowd at The Key Club in
Los Angeles.
They were greeted with rave reviews and haven't looked back since.
Now, with the completion of two U.S. tours and a highly successful South
American tour in 2009, with nothing short of a stellar response,
“ADLER'S
APPETITE”
is giving the fans what they want and breathing new life into the legacy
that is “GUNS
N' ROSES”.
2010 will see Adler returning
to "Celebrity Rehab 3" as a special guest and the worldwide release
of his first instructional drum DVD. Steven also recently
contributed drum tracks to former “GN'R”, current “Velvet
Revolver” guitarist Slash's solo record. The track, which marks their
professional reunion, also features Flea from “The Red Hot Chili
Peppers.” Looking to conquer the literary world as well, Steven has
finalized a major publishing deal for his tell all biography. Steven
also has an upcoming appearance on VH1 Classic show "That Metal Show."
Of course Adler's Appetite will continue to tour extensively this year
and is currently working on new material set for a 2010 release.
