  • how the f do you get kicked out of gnr for doing to much drugs ?

  • even though i love steven he was probably high during this interview

  • axle should have thrown himself out!! dick!! who wasnt doing drugs then? this guy still rocks it today even after the drug induced stroke! kudo's "popcorn"! saw the celebrity rehab, and i really hope you are doing well!

  • what's the song at 1:00 ?

  • Alder is such a mess. Its funny because in the interview he said he was " sober" now, but in reality he was probably high the whole time. On celebrity rehab he admitted that he hasn't been sober since he was 13. In his mind he still thinks the Appetite line up of G n R is still getting back together...

  • Charlie Sheen came out a WINNER. Someone should tell Steven!!

  • Steven is a hero !

  • i love you! happy birthday, Steven!

  • good on yah mate u made it out, pity u didnt stay around in gnr a bit longer

  • I saw Adler's Appetite play & they were fucking incredible. I had so much fun at that show.

  • did she jus made an anology or w.e. to bed of roses???? TATS THE WRONG BAND!!!!!!!!!

  • He was in one of the greatest rock bands of all time, who are an inspiration to new bands, even after 20 years or or so guns n roses still get comments and hits on you tube and the internet all the time, everybody pre fares steven to matt he was just a one of a kind, it wasnt the same without him :(

  • His Mother looks younger than him.

  • great hair; i wonder how he does it

  • I luv moms..

  • It's great he can forgive his Mom, but as a Mother myself, I would never dream of throwing my baby out. She gave him the void he tried to fill with drugs, imo.

  • COME ON DUDE! Cocaine is an addictive drug. You're not going to do a little of it and come out alive man. Addiction is bad.

  • poor guy man... he looks so bad... good thing he's back now... hopefully they'll reunite

    youtube.com/v/WgdjDgX784g&amp

  • Steven Adler's book is out next month.... FUCK AXL ROSE... he's no better than anyone else, remember that....

  • Fuckin drugs!! Its good knowing that Adler accepts what he has done was wrong and is warning the youngsters about how bad drug addiction really is!!! Way to go Steve! :)

  • 18/ he was 20 before they even formed, not a big deal...

  • 1:45 I wanna kill her. She says she "like so much Steve" and she left him with his grandmother when he was 3 and she threw him to the street when he was 11. What means love for her????

  • He seems so sweet..

  • it's so sad, in fact he WAS and IS the youngest, and most of all cutest, sweetest, guy of gnr. BUT he's still kicking ass. thumbs up for tht

  • Steven's mom is a fucking bitch!!!!! It's all her fault.

  • Steven is a relative of mine- his mom and mine are 1st cousins. The comment about his mom was right on the money--in fact, she is the reason for his addiction. Itruns in thefamily- my mother has always been a bi*&^ too- and I used to have the same drug problems!

    Thank G-d, I conquered mine by the Grace of G-d.

    Peace

  • The Best Fuckin Drummer Ever!!! Respect Him...

  • @Tirpitz1945 what abour neil peart?

  • Comment removed

  • "is just like a guns 'n' roses song. -appetite for destruction" what?! they never made a song called that.. it's an album you idiot. i hate it when they can't get there facts straight.

  • What a shame for Steve, he was always the coolest one from the original line-up in my opinion.

  • Steven looks like Jeff Daniels in Dumb and Dumber LOL!

  • Is it just me or is Steven's left nostril considerably wider than his right one?

  • Okay, I don't know if this is just me or not, and it could be, so I'm not trying to cause a fight, but wasn't STeven's mother the one who kicked him out on the streets when he was like, 12? I'm sorry, but she seems very rehearsed in this interview. To tell you the truth, I don't think she gives a shit what Steven doesm and it's a sin, because Steven really is such a good person.

  • Because of Steven Adler and Nikki Sixx,  Whenever I get famous with my rock band, I'll never do drugs. Especially because of Steven. He's my hero.

  • Thats why your music will suck! Ha jk man but booze and drugs makes music better

  • eww. stevens mom's breath smell bad. wanna know why, i can smell the bullshit coming out of her mouth.

  • This seems pretty ridiculous now. Anyway - best of luck to Steven.

  • terry is hot!

  • Long after this was taped, I seen him in a video with his band taking a hit off a pipe.

  • i saw the same video

  • his mom looks younger than him :-(

    stupid drugs!

  • drugs have helped write some of the best music on earth.

  • drugs may have helped create good music, but at the price of destroying some of the most creative people. Being an artist is both a blessing and a burdon. The best ones can handle it.

  • we all die. why would it matter if its from drugs or anything else.

    if drugs are tool to outlet your ideas, then so be it.

    it would be better to release them then to die as a mediocre artist.

  • True, we all die, but dying from something drug related is lowest most pathetic way to go. It's basically a cowardly suicide.That wouldn't be the legacy I would want to leave behind. Actually, great artists that think their best ideas are only coming from being high ARE the ones that die as a mediocre artist. Some evenually just trade "artist" for "addict". Sure, some good stuff can come out while being high, they wouldn't keep doing it if it didn't. That's the deceptive nature of doing drugs...

  • ..........Evenually, the drugs will dull the very senses that create these great Ideas, with even more continued use, music and everything else becomes secondary to getting high.

  • I speak from experience of long term drug use, and my music is always more important than getting high.

  • "if drugs are a tool to outlet your ideas", I would assume you 1. do the drug, then 2. outlet your ideas. (I assume you meant your musical ideas.) That's secondary to getting high. you pretty much just contradicted yourself....What's "long term" to you? 20's, doin dope since 12 ? or mid 30's still tryin to "make it"? Does your music pay the bills? Sounds like you practice the "it's better to burn out than fade away" lifestyle.

  • take the knot out of your panties and think before you speak.

    what is the reason for doing the drug in the first place?

    to out let your great musical ideas.

    so really, that is not secondary at all.

  • truly talented musicians who are also confident in their abilties, don't need to rely on drugs to release great ideas. I'm not downing you. You gotta do what you gotta do..... I think very well, because I'm not on drugs. It's just that I have observed countless creative beautiful people, do what you do and end up nowhere. But I guess you'll just have to go through it to understand. You'll remember this ten years from now. Hope you make it. Without music and art this world would be unbearable.

  • Good for you trick !

  • drug addiction or not he was in one the most sucessful bands in the world so he has potentail to acomplish anything and as far as axl saying he kicked him out the band for a drug use is a crock shit birds of a feather flock together freinds will tend to do all the same shit togther and if you really look at it after lies gnr kinda lost there metal touch lies wasnt as hard as appite and spagattei incincdent was wven tere shit you tell me?

  • You used the key word man, WAS in one of the most successful bands, 20 fukin years ago(almost). That could have been a spring board for many great opportunities. Being replaced on that gig should have been his wake up call. Overall, GnR is a joke, they had great success and pissed on it. I guarenttee you Axl's fried his brain so he cant produce any music that's worth a damn. There are bands that hit around the same time that are still recording and selling out shows...

  • that is purely your own opinion.

  • I agree trick !

  • A spring board to what?

    I guess this all really comes down to what you think success is.

    Are you an artist? Do you understand what it is like to create?

    Do you or have you done drugs? I would like to see if you can speak from experience, instead of spewing out opinions that have no relation.

  • What I meant by spring board...junkies usually end up surrounded by other junkies or like minded people and all the crap that goes along with that lifestyle. If he wasn't a junkie, his path may have led him to meeting some amazing creative people. He could have worked with other musicians that had there shit together and could possilbly have had a band equal to or better than GnR. for example Matt Cameron from Soundgarden to Pearl Jam, Dave Grohl, when Nirvana was up, he kept it goin with Foo..

  • Yes I'm an artist, Yes, and Yes. I don't think someone who hasn't lived it would know what the hell i'm talking about. I'm not spewing opinions, man. It is what it is. And to be a little clearer, I've done many drugs many times for many reasons. I realized one day that I have pretty much overfilled the quota, and I can take all those experiences with me into the next part of my journey.....oh and I don't equal success with money.

  • I dont exactly agree with everything you said, but you do have some points to your last statement.

    I can give you that.

  • Rawk on.

  • I came across something very ironic. It hits on exactly what both of us were talking about. Look at "krell rock bottom 1" and "...2". The guy who calles himself "Jym"(not his real name) used to be a pretty good friend of mine, and I used to be part of the band. (he's the only original member/founder/writer.) He was doin the same shit 10 years ago. he just changed zip codes. I'd love to hear what you think. Reply from there

  • WTF? he hates his mother

    Watch "celebrity rehab" he said his mother stole all of his money.

    And he still takes drugs. (because his best friend slash doesn't want him in his band)

  • steven adler made up lies about his mom on the Celebrity Rehab show.

    later research proved he had been lying all along just like he lied on the show about doing drugs even as his urine wastesting positive for them.

  • With all the money spent on the "war on drugs" I wonder if the G would pay Steven Alder and the like to tour high schools/ grade schools. Just say no from a rock star or athlete is about a million times more effective than from a parent or even a President of the USA!Anyone know the budget on "just asay no" tv commercials including production costs?

  • hard copy where they pay their guests and expect us to believe anything these people say!

  • his mom is a fucking bitch. :@

  • appetite for destruction aint a gnr song:L

  • his mom is a bitch. I was watching celeb rehab just cause steven was on it and she appeared on it for one episode and she's a thief and she just throws him out of his house when he's 12.

  • he was 11 actually

  • oh isn't that better

  • dude id like to see steven adler write a book. id read it for sure

  • @Chairbedcouch He did: "My Appetite for Destruction" look it up in amazon

    

  • Hey man, Buttertray

  • Steven Adler's huge...he's still COOL no matter what...see, the drugs make him who and what he is....a bad ass motherfucker!!!! Take away the drugs, it's not the same mystique.....

  • its so sad because hes such a nice guy and hes talented best drummer gnr has had the new line up is soooo bad

  • deanna is the name of nikki sixxs mother too...

  • What story is it? He is still a drug addict. He was arrested in January for goodness sake. Guys like this don't recover. I also don't agree with him being the best drummer ever. People that make such huge statements should be slapped. I once saw people say that Frank Iero was the greatest guitarist ever.

  • He is not the best drummer ever that is for sure. But he is the best drummer GnR ever had. Yes this was a long time ago and we all know he prolly is still on drugs. He was on Celeb rehab and the celeb half way house doing drugs on the show. He is just like shiffty people id love to see get their life back togather and get on top again.

  • 1:58 ''was just like a guns n' roses song... appetite for destruction'' fuck!! appetite is the title of the album!!!

  • Shows how much the so called "news people" know about facts.

  • Dude its hard to even believe how screwed up Adler if your out there dude keep up the good work on being drug free. Axl is just a freak! dont believe what other people say you are still one of the most famous drummers

  • His mother looks younger and better than him actually.

  • steven is the nicest guy and he's the best drummer ever

  • shows you that drugs aren't all good

  • Hes the most fucked up of all of the band members from guns n roses

  • yeah its a shame

  • no man he still smokes pot all the time

  • dude shut the fuck up what choice did he have??? he was kicked from his fucking house at age 11 what is he sapposed to do... u wouldnt fucking know better??? if u were that age

  • rofl the lady quoting mr brownstone

  • Steven's been sober for seven months now. Keep up the good work Steven!

  • The Lady Says "His life in the fast lane was just like a guns n roses song appetite for destruction" ,the wasn't a song.

  • Good one, I caught that too. What do you expect from a square, hey?

  • so are alot of musicians you idiot like rolling stones they did dope for 10 to 20 years and in that time all there best songs came out.

  • So much talent

    too bad he's still a junkie, not being hatefull, i love GnR, but he is going to die of an overdose, hes still a fucking junkie

  • his kid, ( Billy ) is on my ice hockey team and he is the best drummer in portland, which is where he lives. If this is interesting to you, u can ask me some questions because i know him as a freind.

  • it sucks that he got so into drugs. it was such a bad ass drummer (and still may be), his drumming brought so much menace and brutality to gnr.

  • awesome drummer.

    love him

    sporto

    crimes in graceland

  • he is cute :3

  • He's not ugly D:< I think he's hot =D Now and then.

  • LOL! Best of luck Steven...

  • Narly! Steven Adler will be here in a few days in little ole' Farmington NM!!! Whoo! Whoo! (yes I know cheesy comment, so what...)

  • steven adler is so fucking awesome!! THE REAL GUNS N ROSES!! APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION!

    :`)

  • Crazy that he was only 18 when Appetite came out.

  • The album came out in '87, so Adler would have been 22 back then.

  • Ahh. Ok. Still sad to see him so messed up though.

  • aww this is so sad

    he was beautiful

  • I always wondered why he talked weird. I assumed he broke his jaw in an accident or something. A stroke?? How horrible!

  • it really hurts me to watch him in those condictions

  • appetite for the destruction is the name of an album not a song, this reporter's an idiot-face douche

  • Appetite for Destruction! No THE Idiot!

  • ya i dunno why i put that there, embarrassing

  • R.I.P.  Steven Adler

  • he isnt dead idiot and he will live long....hes sober for 6 months.....right now he is touring the us with his band adlers appetite everthing sold out....and he has a big role in the movie dahmer vs gacy which comes out this year.....hes also working on a drum dvd.....STEVENS the BEST...so fuck you

  • dahmer vs gacy?

    sounds good what's it about?

  • ach du bist auch noch aus deutschland....steven is super

  • When Adler left the band it basically ruined GnR... They were doomed. Although they put out another album without adler, he had been around writing most of those songs with the band. Eventually Izzy got sick of the band because of Adler being gone, it not being fun anymore and Axl in part. After Izzy left there was no chance.

  • Ultra Rare images of Guns N' Roses!

    look my friend:

    /watch?v=I3I59vrGL24

  • Being a recovering drug addict myself , I do wish thre best for Steven. He was and still is a very beautiful person. Good Luck Steve.

  • Its like hanging out with you.. you fucking CUNT. listen to you you sound a incompetent moron.. Axel controlled and manipulated everything,, ask the band.. wait they ALL QUIT!! DUH! He was non stop about BS.. AND yes AXEL IS A SCHIZOPHRENIA.. now go get your cunt muscle filled, you fucking whore!! before I voodoo your slutty ass.. stupid girl!! trying to be a man.. adler just isnt and never will be a strong person..

  • Well since this aired nearly 14 years ago, Steven has continued to struggle with addiction. I hope the sober house truly does help him. He has the support, he just needs to make the right choices.

  • Try hanging out with fuckface axel for a day much less for years,, just wish steven would have choose something other than heroin to escape fuckface axel BS everyday.. I cant wait til fuckface axel dies. I will spit on his grave!!

  • why blame axl?

    axl didnt feed drugs to steven - infact he was the only one in the band who wasnt an addict.

    the decision to fire steven was made collectively by the whole band and slash agreed with this as well. just read his interviews from that time period.

  • yep. you are correct!

  • ROCK ON!!! Its so nice to see at least SOMEONE out here has a fucking brain! I can't stand dipshits who don't know jack about anything blaming Axl for everything that happened to GNR and its members. `

  • thanks, man. there's so many lies floating around and so much crazy axl bashing all the time.

    people like us who actually know the facts need to spread them around. ive seen people claim crazy things like axl was a total addict or that slash was the biggest start and axl was nothing! anybody who was alive in the early 90's should know better!

  • Well, I've actually met 3 of the 5 personally, on MORE than a few occasions, and I can tell you that they all have their little "moments". But, even for someone who hasn't met them, its pretty obvious that Axl wasn't the sole downfall of the band, or the cause of anyone's problems. You can always tell who doesn't know what the hell they're talking about, because they're ALL riding the "Axl's a prick for no reason" bandwagon. ^.^

  • hey youve met them? lucky you.

    do share a story or two with me if you can :)

  • Fuck you, dumbass!!! Steven even says he's done drugs since he was 14! Listen to the fuckin' clip, dickwad! It even says that Axl was the one who went to Steven's mother to try and save his life! I wish idiots like you would do a little research before you start blaming Axl for all GNR's fuckin' problems! Steven fucking destroyed himself! Axl didn't hold him down and force him to take drugs, you fucking moron!!!

  • You're an idiot. How old are you, 14???

  • sober house and celebrity rehab suck.

  • All the best to you, Steven. I hope you make it and are able to have a full life!

  • whoops accisentally gave you a thumbs down!

  • hes a human who got into durgs through rock and roll. hes tying to clean up and it must be hard because hes been doing it for so long. i hate drugs too buts its rly hard to overcome addiction.

  • You're the shit bag. You have no empathy for other human beings. Looking at your spelling, I'm assuming you're on some kind of drug. Booze maybe? Whatever the case I hope you "FuckJing Die you scum bag". You're the "waiste" of life Mr. Seattle. Go drink your f-ing Starbucks and listen to your Nirvana CD's over and over again.

  • if i saw you I would make sure you dont say shit like that again you mother fucker

  • I've been watching Sober House and it looks like there's not much of a chance of him sobering up. Very sad. If you want to pick someone in your deadpool, Steven is a good choice. I hope I'm wrong, but watching him sneak in needles and heroin into Sober House makes you have realize it's probably too late. Sad sad sad. :(

  • HE WAS ARRESTED AGAIN JAN 26

  • it must be so hard because hes been doing it for such a long time. what a rocky road an adict must gave to go on. celeb rehab really shows how hard overcoming these addictions are, i absolutelt hate how rock and roll gets a musician into drugs, its very sad,

  • and those "reality" shows are bullshit too, cause they are enablers...they know that if they get fucked up, they get more tv time, so theyre not gonna stay clean

  • wow he looks really differnt here.. best of luck to him getting sober but after watching sober house it dosen't seem too likely

  • Sorry about the mistakes In that last post. I'm still learning how to use my iPhone. I honestly don't think Steven Adler doesn't want to get better. I can see right through him when he talks to Dr. Drew ( I think Dr. Drew is HOT). I can't believe that Dr. Drew believes him when he says he wants to stop. That's tv I guess. Maybe that's why he let's on to believe just to show the audience what the disease does to you. Get better Steve, Dr. Drew, I love you!

  • I agree with you terifg. I watched celeberty rehab and now I watch sober house. Unfortunatly, I telly don't think he is going to stop. I think he just wants to in front of the camera. At this point any chane at publicity he will take it. He hasn't hit his rock bottom yet. I hope he gets better but it's up to him to do it.

  • yeah, it's depressing. drugs are tempting, i like the whole sex, drungs and rock & roll but you have to learn to control it. u can party like a rockstar once every 6 months or every new year like me, but every day or week or month, is just not good.

  • Has anyone been watching "Sober House" on VH1? Unfortunately, this guy isn't gonna make it. How he is still alive baffles me. He's such a nice person, really, I feel very bad for him.

  • yeah i just watched that tonight. The guy had sooo much freakin talent and throw it away.

  • steven rocks

  • butter tray man.....

  • That's a great refrigerator you've got there. Really nice butter tray, man.

  • Maybe he should see this clip. He says himself no one comes out of cocaine & heroin use a winner. Does that make him a self proclaimed loser? I'm not baggin' on the guy, I'm pullin' for him but he's got to do the foot work and he clearly isn't trying. The grim reaper is in Steven's shadow and he knows his chance will come soon.
