STEVEN ADLER On Rumoured GUNS N’ ROSES Reunion – “If Axl Needs A Reason To Do It, I Have A Billion Reasons…”; Audio

Former Guns N’ Rose drummer, Steven Adler, and The Poodles’ Jakob Samuel guest on the new episode of One On One With Mitch Lafon. Russ Dwarf of the Killer Dwarfs co-hosts.

In this show’s first interview former Guns N’ Roses drummer, Steven Adler, talks about his new 50 art collection and the Guns N’ Roses reunion.

When it’s suggested that Axl Rose would only do a reunion for “the art”, Adler responds: “If he needs a reason to do it, I have a billion reasons… and that’s a billion people around the world who love us and have supported us, and would want more than anything to see us. I think if we did a reunion show, or shows, it would definitely be for the fans.”

Jakob Samuel of The Poodles joins Mitch for this episode’s second interview and discusses the band’s great new album, Devil In The Details, the great music coming out of Sweden and addresses the band’s controversial name.

Utilizing the very rhythms that made him a legend, Steven Adler has unveiled a collection of fine art “built” from the new medium of Rhythm-On-Canvas. Following are video clips featuring Adler talking about the collection:

A project that has quietly been created over the last year in Los Angeles, Adler has been working exclusively with art team and publisher SceneFour on the collection entitled 50.

SceneFour is the team responsible for the Rhythm-On-Canvas medium, having released blockbuster art collections over the last five years with a highly select group of drumming legends including Bill Ward (Black Sabbath) , Rick Allen (Def Leppard), Mickey Hart (Grateful Dead), Jose Pasillas (Incubus), and Dave Lombardo (Philm, Slayer).

The process of creating artwork from rhythm is an extensive one that begins with the drummer utilizing a bevy of drumsticks that light in a variety of ways similar to that of a painter utilizing brushes with different colors.  In the creation process, the drummer is crafting rhythms that translate visually to abstract imagery before they are brought into the SceneFour studio, manipulated meticulously, and laid to canvas.

For Adler’s visual work, SceneFour Co-Founder Ravi Dosaj states, “Steven’s rhythms visually look like the way he sounds…dark, gritty, and they even swing. Inside his abstract work, there are elements that seem to connect to his life.”

Steven and his critically acclaimed new band, Adler, are currently in the studio recording new material as well as confirming 2015 tour dates for both the US and overseas.
