LOS ANGELES - Former Guns N' Roses drummer Steven Adler has been arrested in Hollywood for alleged drug possession.
Los Angeles police spokesman Richard French says the 43-year-old Adler was arrested around 4 a.m. Friday by officers called to a home where a man reportedly was creating a disturbance and refusing to leave.
Adler was booked for investigation of possessing narcotics, being under the influence and for an outstanding warrant.
He was jailed on $45,000 bail.
Adler has a long history of drug use. He performed on the early Guns N' Roses albums but was later fired.

I wonder if he could still function long enough for a tour if GNR ever did reunite. He could hardly do it in '91.

I heard on a "Behind The Music" sort of show, that he had a drug related stroke a while back and was largely unable to perform, although he admitted to playing along with the old GnR records.

I would find it hard to carry on a normal life after seeing the success G n R had in the early days. To go from having everything, to just being another average joe would be hard. Throw in the drug use and you have a bomb waiting to go off

I heard about the strokes somewhere as well. Crazy. Those guys knew how to party I guess.
Raw, I hear you about having evrything than it's gone, thats so crazy to think about. Reminds me of the documentary "New York Doll". Should check it out if you havent seen it.

My Trusted MOGs
I thought the same thing but I wonder what the outstanding warrant is for
My Trusted MOGs
Sure, punish the addicts...Adler was on Howard Stern years ago talking about his stroke and..well..sounded like someone who had survived a stroke.

Yeah I saw Weiland w/VR last year and I couldn't believe he could even stand up. He was so skinny he looked like he could die at any moment, yet he was all over the stage. I must say though, I saw him on the STP reunion a couple months back and his performance more resembled his appearance.
