Steven Adler is one of the worst drummers I've ever heard.  Every song on the
first album goes

	thump, thump, snare
	thump, thump, snare

bleah!

        Hey....Alot of drummer have made carrers from doing the same thing.
     I'm not saying it's right but he sold more albums on one record than
    alot of "technical" drummer have in their lives.

Yeah like another wizard Peter Criss
664.5Sad but true.COMET::FRISBYALove Bomb BabyMon Dec 30 1991 12:599
    That's reality.......The business is selling.  If that's what sells
      the record companies will find some dork to play it.
    
            All of these drummers are set for life now......
    
         All it took was thump, thump , snare.

    I think Adler is a good drummer. Besides, you can only do what the song
    calls for as far as what goes with what.
664.7Thump...Snare...Thump Thump Snare. Variations! 8)COMET::FRISBYALove Bomb BabyMon Dec 30 1991 13:0512
    True....Good input Pete. 8)
    
      The album won't sell as much as GnR does but hopefully it will break
    open Danny Vain.  
     I wonder if Steven is going to win his court date with the GUNNERS?
     If he did he could finance the next ten albums. 8)
    
     BTW-Roadcrew was the name of the band Steven was in with Slash before
    GnR.

I actually never noticed Steven Adler until I saw them at Great Woods with
Aerosmith.  The way the soundman cranked the drums put Steven way up in the mix
and you couldn't help noticing that he did the same thing for every song.  I
think that he got stuck on the drugs part of Sex, Drugs and R&R.

I agree that there are drummers that don't seem to do much but are still good
like (dare I say? Charlie Watts).  Not every drummer is going to be a Neil Peart,
but some are really hacks.

Sorry to mess up the RoadCrew note like this...

664.9Charlie=backbone of the stones MASALA::IGOLDIEgot my mojo workin'Tue Dec 31 1991 03:187
    hey,don't knock Charlie Watts.I once saw an interview with some of the
    Rolling Stones talking to several people and when asked what was the
    thing that kept them together for 25 years the all replied "Charlie
    Watts".He was quoted later in saying that the comment was "bollox".

    He has very good timing, but that's all I can say.
664.12*BURRRPPPAHHHhh*WMOIS::MAZURKASon of the DawnTue Dec 31 1991 17:3910
    He's a good BackBone for a band like that..
    He's wanted to leave many times(like alla the rst of them)but didn't.
    If he did,I feel things would have happened much more to the 
    negative side to the band.

664.13Is it Charlie Watts or Milli VanilliNEMAIL::MERCIERI will Choose FreewillWed Jan 08 1992 12:1813
    Re: .10, .11
    
     I agree with both opinions. Charlie had good timing, but his chops and
    beats were booorrrriiing. Granted you can only play what the music
    calls for, but I have heard many stones tunes that could have more of
    a creative beat.  I read that on the Stones Steel Wheels tour Charlie
    had most of his parts sequenced, because he could not handle being
    consisent night after night. (the article said because of his age)..
    Charlie should retire...!!
    
    Bob...who thinks the stones are dead and should remain that way(they
          are a band of the past)

    This band will never happen now.
    
    Maybe Steve will join the CC Deville Experience.

    Did he get a nose job yet, or is he going to play the lead role in
    the life story of Jackie O?

    Chris: Although I don't think C.C. is a great lead player his
