LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-MAY 5, 2020…IN 1995 DRUMMER STEVEN ADLER OF GUNS N’ ROSES FAME CELEBRATED CINCO DE MAYO IN A VAN NUYS CALIFORNIA COURTROOM. HE WAS ARRAIGNED ON CHARGES OF HEROIN POSSESSION. ADLER HAD BEEN KICKED OUT OF THE GROUP 5 YEARS PRIOR DUE TO HIS ADDICTION. YOU KNOW YOU’VE GOT A DRUG PROBLEM WHEN A BAND THAT WRITES A SONG ABOUT HEROIN (‘MR. BROWNSTONE’ ) SAYS YOU’VE GOT A DRUG PROBLEM AND THEY’VE HAD ENOUGH !
ADLER WASN’T INCLUDED ON THE RECENT GUNS N’ ROSES REUNION TOUR, BUT WAS INVITED BACK TO PLAY “ONE OR TWO SONGS”. HERE’S A COMPLETE ARTICLE ON HOW AWKWARD IT GOT AT ONE OF THE SHOWS WHEN THEY TURNED THE LIGHTS ON HIM AND HAD TO TELL HIM TO LEAVE THE STAGE.
