The "FEUD SERIES" Vol. 5: Steven Adler vs. Matt Sorum: "He's Got No Heart, No Soul, No Feel -- NO HEROIN!!!!"

Former reality-show star and supposedly sober crackhead/junkie Steven Adler is on the attack! This time, his intended target is the Melissa Ethridge-looking homo Matt Sorum, who stole the Guns N' Roses gig from Adler as he was kicked out of the band for his rampant drug abuse, eventually succumbing to a near-fatal drug-induced stroke. Now it seems that Adler is back in the saddle of rock-drumming and is voicing out his disdain for Sorum's work on what should have been his gig. But really, what does Adler have left that would matter at all to the world of rock anymore? Not a goddamn thing! The motive here is to sell records, of course, so he can score more smack and stick it his veins or up his nose. It's sour grapes from a pathetic, broken-down, beaten old man who has nothing left except a one-album legacy, a mediocre new group with Chip Z'Nuff, and a ton of debts.

When asked what he thought of Sorum's playing on GN'R's Use Your Illusions albums:

Adler: His were just half-assed, crappy versions. Nothing personal against the guy, but he's like a goddamn drum machine. He's got no heart; he's got no soul; he's got no feel. And as life and the years have shown obviously I'm not the easiest drummer to replace. All I know is, "Use Your Illusion" would have been bigger than "Appetite".

Whoa now! Bigger than Appetite for Destruction, the 1987 debut that has since sold 18,000,000 copies in the U.S. alone? Take the straw out of your nose and come correct, boy! UYI were pretty good collectively, but what makes you think that your drumming skills would have been any better? Unless you cut out all the melodramatic ballads, piano-playing, shortened some songs, and choir arias, I highly doubt you could have done any better. Axl and Slash would have still hated your guts and fired your dumb ass. And sure, Sorum isn't the most electric performer around, but at least he is saavy enough to just shut up and play and keep away from the vices long enough to produce music, unlike yourself, who pissed away a great opportunity just to get a quick fix and stick more junk up your damn schnoz.

Think about that the next time you're laying in the hospital from another coke-stroke, you haggard-looking old fool!
