Voormalig Guns n' Roses-drummer Steven Adler (foto) is in een gevecht met ex-bandleden van Adler's Appetite: Jizzy Pearl (zang; Ratt, Love/Hate), Keri Kelli (gitaar; Vince Neil, Slash's Snakepit) en Robbie Crane (bas; Vince Neil, Ratt) menen dat ze net zo veel recht hebben op de naam Adler's Appetite als naamgever van de band.
"The partnership has sole ownership and control of the name 'Adler's Appetite,' the EP Masters, the Adler's Appetite website, DBA and all present and future interests from records, merchandise and/or touring under the 'Adler's Appetite' name. The Adler's Appetite name and logo are registered trademarks owned by the partnership and its four partners. In accordance with the partnership agreement, no one single member has the right or authority to hire or fire anyone without a majority vote from all four partners."
Brent Muscat, voormalig gitarist van Adler's Appetite en tegenwoordig lid van Faster Pussycat, verklaart aan Metal Sludge dat het geruzie draait om geldzucht:
"The fact is we had a good thing going for a while and in my opinion it was ruined by greed. Most crimes and murders stem from greed. We had a record deal with Shrapnel that they blew purely over greed. (...) I believe the other members really thought this was their Velvet Revolver. The big difference is Velvet Revolver has Slash, Duff, and [Matt SOrum,] a good drummer who was in Guns n' Roses and they had Steven who was kicked out of Guns n' Roses and still shows why."
Alle betrokken muzikanten zullen nog wel even doorgaan met moddergooien. Zodra er weer muzikaal nieuws is, lees je dat als eerste op Slagwerkwereld.
