2009.03.17 - The Rock Radio - Short interview with Slash

Rose has lashed out at Slash in several recent interviews, calling him a "cancer" in one and saying in another that "one of . . . us will die before a reunion."

Rose also said that a reunion of the original Guns lineup with Adler on drums would bring "assorted ambulance-chasing attorneys and the nightmare of his mother."

He has also pointed his finger at the band's record label, Interscope, for the less than impressive sales of the new Guns album, Chinese Democracy, although he has done almost nothing to help promote it.

Slash recently told us that Rose himself became more difficult to communicate and work with during the final years of the original Guns lineup: [ Click to listen if you have a backstage pass] "His sort of m.o., as far as the band was concerned, over time got so exaggerated in the rock star sense or whatever and he became such a dictator and this and that and the other, that it was impossible for me to work with him, because I'm not the kind of person that takes orders, you know."

Adler, who recently starred in the VH1 reality series Celebrity Rehab -- and had to go back into rehab following his stint on the show -- is currently on tour with his own band, Adler's Appetite.

He has publicly expressed his hopes for a reunion of the original Guns lineup, while Slash and bassist Duff McKagan have been more reserved about the prospect and Rose has stated that it will never happen.
