Steven Adler’s Band - Civil War

This was in Cohoes NY on 6/22/23

[@houseofstone3560]

The front man has the vocals down well enough and it’s awesome to see Adler back there smiling.

[@Pablo-ub4ht]

The singer couldn' be less than great, he's argentino like I am!

[@overkill1975]

Actually this guy sounds better than washed up Axl Rose any day!

[@PeterVenkman_666]

@@Pablo-ub4ht posta loco? Mira vos. De alguna banda de acá?

[@eliasferreira6737]

O aspecto de Steven Adler está melhor que o de todos os integrantes e ex integrantes do GNR, e diziam que ele era o que mais se drogava.*

[@thelordofdarkness141]

​@@overkill1975not saying he's bad but the thing is everything he does way his sings his movements where did he get them? The lyrics he is singing who wrote them? Axl might not be what he was but still

[@kchastain3]

That guy sounds as close to the real Axl Rose as anybody I’ve ever heard. He even has the moves down perfect too. Incredible pitch control.

[@davino108]

I think he should go on tour with Guns & Roses.

[@arispenaflorida5022]

He is GNR's original drummer. Got kicked out because of his drug habits but looks and sounds better than Axl now

[@joshhellstorm184]

Hes better then current axel haha

[@davino108]

@joshhellstorm184 well that's a given

damn ... Steven struck gold finding this singer

[@Orangetension]

But wouldn't this make them a cover band?

[@Scatterbrain70]

​@@Orangetensionof course they are a cover band

[@xboxheavy]

His name is Ariel Kamin, he knew him in Argentina, when Steven made an appeareance at the Roxy, after the GNR gig in 2016

[@Josh31656]

This singer absolutely nails the vocals!! Good to see Steve behind the kit doing his thing.

[@bandits648]

Can steven only play g n r songs , why is he in a cover band

[@heavymetallove7]

This dudes voice is AMAZING!!!!

[@Kim-rf5et]

You obviously never heard guns n roses which Steven Adler was originally from because Axl roses voice was crazy this guys is good but Axl had the power. Go listen to this with the real singer it's crazy

[@heavymetallove7]

​@@Kim-rf5et I bought AFD when it 1st came out. I not only heard the original GNR but have seen them live many, many times. This dude is the best I ever heard mock Axl Rose! Sadly Axl's voice doesn't have that tone anymore so it's cool hearing it again. Thats why I said his voice is amazing!!!!

[@Kim-rf5et]

@@heavymetallove7 you are right Axl has lost the tone and this guy is close

Better than Axl's voice today.

The grin on Adlers face is priceless. Never lose it man!

Actually those chompers cost him a pretty penny.

[@jasonmiller4046]

yes because his band sounds better than gnr does lately

[@chrisk920]

Guns and roses are still a killer Band it’s axles voice that shot and that’s just due to his age. He’s almost 60 years old now.🤷‍♂️

[@pascalmerschaudio]

i love Adler´s drumming, very often laid back then tight .....he´s so dynamic

[@huarachudo47]

Dynamic or inconsistent?

[@chrisoltman1253]

Steven is so rad! He epitomizes what it means to be a rock drummer. Dude has great fills and a great sense of style.

[@richardmanley2072]

Steven still has his drumming chops he sounds fantastic and the band sounds tight

[@niceguy4421]

A band like this is needed more now then ever!!

[@KBizzy]

I met Steve at a gig back in the early 2000’s. At that point he’d already had I think 3 strokes and he had a handler with him. He was incredibly nice and friendly, and what I’ll remember most is that he literally acted like he knew us. He was like ‘you guys! How ya been?’ and gave us a hug. He still plays the Guns tunes perfectly with his trademark swing. And this singer sounds way better than modern Axl lol.

[@miguelnolasco2192]

This is what I can say about Steven. He is a friend and a great guy. I met him at the World Famous Rainbow bar and grill. We hit it off so cool. We talked like we had known each other well. We just kept it simple. Hello Steven. Have a great show tonight at the Key Club ( which was just a short walk from the Rainbow on the Sunset Strip.) He just said. Hey dude, cool. I will. Next time I see him. At the Rainbow. I see him and say , hey Steven , how are you. I met you awhile back , here. Are you " ok". Hey Steven, don't you got another show at the Key Club, tonight. He , goes. Hey, I do . Are you coming to me. I go, no. The gig is sold out. Then, goes , hey come to the Whisky a go go. I'm doing a 2 pm sound check with my band. I let you check it out. I tell him. Steven that's cool. But, I'm a caretaker of a guy in a wheelchair. Maybe, another time. Then , it's fast forward to a few years. I see a friend come up to me. She goes, hey Steven is here. Do want to meet him. I say, sure. Where is he. Then, we walk up to him. She says to Steven. Hey, this is my Friend, Miguel. Steven goes, I know Miguel. He's cool. . I give Steven a big hug. ( I always have him one each time, I talked to him) My Friend is awestruck. I talked to Steven for about 10 minutes. We talked about the GNR Reunion Tour. I tell him to be ready to be on tour with them. Steven is almost in tears. He says , thanks Miguel. I will be ready. Forward a few months. And Steven plays with GNR in both shows in Los Angeles and San Diego. For a couple songs. And he plays a few more shows . I couldn't be happier to be at those shows in LA and San Diego. But, here's something you don't know. I was outside the Stadiums , not inside. I'm not going to pay hundreds of dollars to see GNR. They are not worth that unless Steven is playing the whole Concerts. I was there outside, so I could hear his two songs with the band. The crowd went nuts inside the Stadium. I was outside the Stadiums in tears. Steven was probably thinking. I hope my friend is hearing me . Because, I can't believe he was right. I haven't seen Steven since I talked to him that time at the Rainbow. I hope to see him. And give him another hug and kind words. He is a great person. Peace

[@joshg4022]

​@@miguelnolasco2192cool story. I've been a fan of his since I was 8 years old, he's always been one of my top 3 favorite drummers. I was crushed when he was kicked out of GnR. He's a big part of why I started playing drums. I totally agree with you, he should be touring with GnR permanently. Maybe there's a reason we don't know that he's not but I'll say his band sounds awesome. Vocal wise it's not not even close, this guy sounds like prime 80's/90's Axl. I hope to see Steven play someday and to meet him would be insane lol.

[@hugolafhugolaf]

@@joshg4022 Long story short, a world tour with GNR takes its toll on a body. Steven doesn't have the health to make it through. Besides, who knows if his old demons wouldn't come back to haunt him? And finally, his playing on the early stuff is unparalleled. Could he be bothered to learn the new stuff? Not sure.

[@KBizzy]

@@miguelnolasco2192 that definitely sounds like the Steve I met as well. I attributed part of his attitude to the fact that he’s cognitively impaired a bit because of the strokes, but he was just so friendly. And a lot of people say that about certain celebrities but he was on another level and literally acted like he knew us. It’s a great memory. Kevin Dubrow and Janie Lane were also in the club that night on this tour and I met Janie as well who was clearly in a bad space. He looked terrible, sat in a corner by himself and was clearly depressed. He did not live for much longer after that gig. Maybe a year or something like that. Sad story. I remember Dubrow was still kind of a prick, acting holier than thou even though he couldn’t fill a small club. They ran him into the club with a towel over his head like he was Lady Gaga or something lol. RIP

[@joshg4022]

@@hugolafhugolaf I agree, I'm sure a full tour would probably be too much for him. I'm glad they brought him back to play though, he really needed that. I'm sure he'll never get over losing that his spot in the band but that definitely was a great thing for him to play with the guys again.

I saw Adler's Appetite back in March and it was awesome. His band exceeded my expectations. I've seen Guns N' Roses before during their peak in their career when they toured with Metallica. Matt Sorum was already their drummer at the time but seeing a band play the AFD songs with Steven on drums for the first time was a real treat. I hope in the near future we'll get to see the day when the original Appetite lineup including Izzy Stradlin reunite together.

[@Kristinapedia]

So glad steven is still drumming. One of my favorite drummers. I remember when this song came out. It was set to premier at a certain time on WRCN 103.9 on Long Island. I made damn sure I was there, sitting in front of my Sanyo Mw-200 boombox, brand new cassette tape in and finger poised over the record button. I believe I started recording at 1 min to the hour so I didn't miss ANY Commentary about the song or GnR. I still had that cassette until 2015 when I lost my storage unit to auction. 😩😩😩 To this day this is one of my top 5 GnR songs.
