Steven Adler Apologizes to Matt Sorum

Original Guns N' Roses and current Adler's Appetite drummer Steven Adler was a guest on this past Monday's (August 30) edition of "Good Day L.A.".

At the end of the interview, Adler can be seen speaking to the camera directly and saying, "I need to apologize to [Adler's replacement in Guns N' Roses] Matt Sorum. I'm sorry about what I said in those interviews. The words just came out wrong. I think you're amazing and I love you, man. Sorry about that."

Adler slammed Sorum in a recent interview with Ultimate-Guitar.com. Adler was kicked out of the band in 1990 due to his drug use, and when asked how he felt when he heard that Sorum would play on the band's 1991 "Use Your Illusion" records, Adler said, "His were just half-assed, crappy versions. Nothing personal against the guy, but he's like a goddamn drum machine. He's got no heart; he's got no soul; he's got no feel. And as life and the years have shown obviously I'm not the easiest drummer to replace."

Guns N' Roses Walks Off Stage at Dublin Gig

Entertainment.ie reports that disaster was in the air at tonight's Guns N' Roses gig at The O2 when front man Axl Rose walked off stage after only 20 minutes. Fans were left bitterly disappointed after waiting for over an hour for the band to appear on stage in the first instance.

Trouble was brewing as fans began to get agitated whilst waiting for Guns N' Roses to come on stage, only making an appearance at 10.25pm - well over an hour after the support act, Danko, had finished playing. Some angry fans booed and threw a few beer/water bottles on stage in protest at the delay.

After a mediocre start, Axl Rose stopped the band after breaking into Welcome to the Jungle - just as the crowd were beginning to be won over - after another bottle was thrown up on stage. At this he announced "one more bottle and we're going home, we're here to have fun and we hope you are too, but one more and we are gone".

Reading/Leeds Update From Axl

Axl Rose has issued another statement via his Twitter account aimed towards the promoters and organizers of the Reading and Leeds festivals:

"...Our start times at the Reading and Leeds festivals factually had nothing to do with us as the previous bands (who were great by the way) came off stage when they did and we went on within' our contracted and documented changeover time period.

Whatever other nonsense anyone's choosing to write would appear intentionally false.

Having the fans or our show penalized for how the event was ran or simply the natural flow of events those evenings and for such minimal amount of overtime along with distortions and falsehoods by media, the promoter and or event organizers regarding the events seems a bit draconian and more than unfair to the fans..."

Axl Rose Parties at the Exclusive 'Bungalow 8' Club in London

Frontman Axl Rose led the session at London’s exclusive Bungalow 8 after a catastrophic show at the Reading Festival on Friday – turning up on stage an hour late and having the band's instruments switched off by organisers during their set due to late-night noise laws.

But Rose seemed to love the camped-up Royal Jelly night hosted by flamboyant club promoter Henry Conway and drag queen Jodie Harsh – and went the distance until the early hours.

Realising rock royalty was in his presence, DJ Jim Stanton quickly adjusted his setlist.

Axl Rose Speaks About Reading & Leeds

Axl Rose has posted the following Twitter update:

Don't know what it is w/us or these last 2 shows. Takes the fun out it 4 everyone fans, band n' crew alike but whatever. So u know, we allegedly had a deal in place pre show w/the city at least at Leeds to do a bit longer performance that was either miscommunication, someone wasn't informed, changed their mind, didn't care or was a con.

Regardless the nonsense just seems so unnecessary but w/out real management or industry presence is unfortunately beyond r control. We hope the fans feel they got at least what they could from us under the circumstances as 4 us all things considered that's the main thing. The rest is filler.

Anyway, enough rambling. Peace, thanks 4 understanding n' what we did manage to get done out there was a blast! The crowds n' fans were amazing!! And in r opinion (not that apparently it means much) u deserved better!!

Thanks again!!

Axl-

Axl Rose - Asshole or Hero? NME Ask The Question!

Tim Chester over at the English music scenes answer to a cheap gossip rag, New Musical Express has posted a question based piece entitled, ‘Axl Rose – Asshole or Hero?’. Now normally the NME isn’t worth reading, replying to or taking any notice of at all, well not unless you want to know which shop Pete Doherty just walked out off or what brand of cigarettes Amy Winehouse smokes (Thanks Daily Gossip!).

But this time Tickets There is taking the liberty of branding the author, the magazine and their staff a bunch of over the hill, raised on camp indie bullshit-artists, with as much right to write about Rock N’ Roll as a anzi has to a fair hearing.

Axl Rose described the feud between him and the Reading And Leeds Festivals organisers as a "war", as Guns N' Roses headlined Leeds Festival tonight (August 29).

He made the comment at around 11:20pm, and also claimed that he had been told they could play until 11:58pm. They then played 'Paradise City' for their one-song encore.
