Steven Adler on Guns N' Roses Reunion Album: 'It Would Blow "Appetite for Destruction" Away'

Adler sat down with Mitch Lafon recently to talk about the band as well as his sobriety.

"As of today, I have four hundred and four days sober, and I have never been happier, I have never played better or had more fun playing," he said. "I mean, if we did ever do a reunion, or if we even made a record again together, the GNR guys, I think it would blow Appetite for Destruction away."

The drummer added that when the group made Appetite, they were barely adults. Now, all the members -- Slash, Axl Rose, Izzy Stradlin and Duff McKagan -- have been through some serious ups and downs. Those experiences could make one "bigger, kick-ass record."

Current Guns guitarist Richard Fortus recently said that Rose would only reunite with the band for the sake of art, and money would have nothing to do with it. Adler suggested one big reason to do a reunion show would be the fans.

"I think if we did a reunion show, or shows, it would definitely be for the fans. I mean, we've lived our dream lives. Everything we dreamed about we have experienced -- good or bad. Sometimes you don't know what you want when you dream things. But we've experienced it and done it. We owe it to the fans," he said.

For now, a reunion continues to look unlikely. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012, but Rose declined the honor. Stradlin opted not to attend the ceremony as well. Slash, McKagan and Adler performed alongside former members Gilby Clarke and Matt Sorum. Myles Kennedy, who performs with Slash nowadays, stood in for Rose.
