Are Guns N Roses the latest band to get reunion fever? If Pink Floyd, even for one show, and The Police can do it, perhaps Axl, Slash, Izzy, Duff and Steven could as well? A MySpace page that claims to be the "Official" Steven Adler page has posted a purported conversation with the original GNR drummer indicating at least some wishes for a reunion of the original lineup.

The site has the following quotes attributed to Adler:

STEVEN: I saw Axl, talked with him from, shit, what was it? 10 or 12 at night to 8 in the morning, we talked. We resolved a lot of fucking shit!

FANSITE: What was that like? That must've been weird!

STEVEN: It was wonderful! Just wonderful. I was the same happy-go-lucky person that I've always been to him, and he enjoyed it. Dude we talked 'till 8 in the morning!

FANSITE: Wow.

STEVEN: It was at The HardRock, when he played there.

FANSITE: Did you see the show?

STEVEN: Yeah…three people in his band all look like Izzy! I told him it sucked, I was kidding. I said "You know the five of us have to get back together! That's when it will really fucking take off again! Nothing will be bigger. It would be the biggest reunion ever in history".

FANSITE: What did he say?

STEVEN: You know how he is. He just grinned and giggled a little bit. Everybody in his band came up to me, "You're the greatest fucking drummer! We tell Axl, 'you gotta get the band back together'!" That's what they said to HIM! It was wonderful! Dude, let me call you back! I'm not ignoring you, dude! You're one of my top best friends, man! You've never done anything to hurt me! I'll call you right back!

FANSITE: No problem, man! But real quick, what else is goin' on?

STEVEN: Um, I've been talking with Izzy. I've been talking with Slash. 20 years, dude, since Appetite came out. Axl's record is supposed to come out, in what, a few months?

FANSITE: Yeah, hopefully.

STEVEN: Izzy wants a reunion. I know what I need to do. Before anything happens, me and Chip (Z'Nuff) have been talkin' about doing a world tour. I'm so sorry, I know it made you feel really bad that I haven't answered the phone, things have been hard on me lately. I miss ya, and I will talk to you later!

Is this just wishful thinking of a somewhat forgotten drummer hoping to regain the magic (and there was magic!) from 20 years ago? Adler's relationship with Slash goes back to childhood so it is possible that some "healing" could occur. Or, maybe not. Axl does have a special place in the ego hall of fame. I guess we'll have to wait and see - but hopefully not as long as people have been waiting for Chinese Democracy.
