NOT THE WAY YOU WANT TO SPEND CINCO DE MAYO

LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-MAY 5, 2019…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 TO THIS OVER HIS HEROIN 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 CURRENT 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. IT’S AT THE 1 HOUR AND 45 MINUTE MARK OF THE SHOW.
HERE’S THE ENTIRE GNR SHOW FROM ARGENTINA, INCLUDING THE AWKWARD MOMENT WITH ADLER, IF YOU CLICK HERE.
