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.
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).
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 is finalizing a major
publishing deal for his tell all biography. Of course
Adler's Appetite will continue to
tour extensively and is currently working on new material set for a 2010
release.
