Adler on Gn’R reunion: “I’ve been talking to them a lot lately…it’s just a matter of Axl…”

Gino Alache of Rockumradio.com spoke with former Guns N’ Roses drummer Steven Adler prior to last night’s Adler’s Appetite’s concert in Lima, Peru. A couple of excerpts from the interview follow:

Discussing whether he ever played in South America with Guns N’ Roses:

"I never had a chance. I missed out on that. [Matt Sorum] was very lucky. He took over my life, practically. Everything I worked for, Slash and the guys just gave to him."

Talking about the amazing reaction Guns N’ Roses received when they first played in South America (with Matt Sorum):

"The crowd wasn’t excited about seeing him [Matt Sorum] — it was that they were excited about still seeing Slash and Duff and Izzy and Axl performing. He was just in the background. They were just missing something."

On his current relationship with his former Guns N’ Roses bandmates:

"It’s been wonderful because I’ve been talking to them a lot lately. They feel the same way I do — it’s just a matter of Axl wanting to, [being] ready to do it. But all four of us wanna do this — have a nice, good reunion and play for everybody. Finish what we started doing. That’s what we wanna do. And Slash and Izzy and Duff — even Axl, but I Axl wants to put his record out. I don’t know… I can’t say."
