Steve Adler Slams Axl
He calls the current GNR a "hack band"
Speaking to Loudwire Adler revealed that he and Slash both want to play at the Hall Of Fame later this month, but that Axl wants to play with the current line-up of GNR.
"He’s my brother. I know he’s up to it,” Adler says about Slash and the Rock Hall reunion. "He wants to do it. I want to do it. Just from what I hear, Izzy Stradlin‘s not gonna show up and Axl Rose will probably want to play with his hack band - his band of hacks. ‘Axl and His Hacks’ - it shouldn’t even be Guns N’ Roses. He’s just driving that name into the freakin’ ground. ‘Axl and His Hacks.’”
"If it was up to me, we would have been playing for the fans a long time ago,” says Adler. "Unfortunately, I have no say in that. I’m behind it 100 percent ... 111 percent! Put it this way; if the five original GN’R guys don’t get up there and play, I’m going up there just on the drum set and playing a couple of songs from ‘Appetite for Destruction.’ It’s for the fans. To me it’s just a rock ‘n’ roll band, but it’s a rock ‘n’ roll band that I’ve gotten so much love and respect from all over the world.”
