Steven Adler, the Appetite for Destruction era drummer of Guns N' Roses, called the current GNR lineup, "Axl and his hacks."  The drummers words were just another shot in the ongoing controversy over Guns N' Roses' Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction.  Guitarist Slash has said that original lineup would not play at the induction even those he would love to see it happen.

"If it was up to me, we would have been playing for the fans a long time ago,” Adler told Loudwire.  “Unfortunately, I have no say in that. I’m behind it 100 percent…111 percent!"  Adler even said he wants to play, even if nobody else does.  "Put it this way; if the five original GNR guys don’t get up there and play, I’m going up there just on the drum set and playing a couple of songs from Appetite for Destruction. It’s for the fans."

Adler was the first member of Guns N' Roses to leave the band after their multi-platinum success.  The drummer was fired because he could not kick a drug habit, in 1990.  Since then, Adler's drug problems have continued.  The drummer even made multiple appearances on Celebrity Rehab.
