Original Guns ‘N’ Roses Drummer Steven Adler was born on this day, January 22nd in 1965. Adler (real name: Michael Coletti) has the dubious distinction of being the first member of the band to be fired by singer Axl Rose, setting a trend that would continue until Rose was the only remaining original member left in the group by the late ’90s. Happy Birthday, Steven!
Have you ever read his book? I found it at a Used Record store in Salem, Mass and bought it on impulse. I enjoyed it, but not as much as Slash’s.
Hey Nick! Thanks as always for the comment! I have not read Adler’s book, but now you’ve piqued my ‘appetite’ to put it on my list! — G
