Um..its not about writing music sober its about playing it without being on drugs. Steven was so strung out on heroin that using it was making his drumming abilities suffer...ask anyone my friend.. that's why he was fired.

didyou not like those youtube vids? he damn wasn't sober there that is the reason they didn't get record deal, cause his dealer came unexpected when the record company was in his home negotiating with the band, and when they saw they just said "forget this," and walked out.

Okay, now I have question. Adler was big for being a founder of GN'R. He was fired because he couldn't play for long before getting sloppy ie. 30 some takes of Cival War. But anyways to the question why the hell would the record company care if he was high or not, Guns were all the time in this period and they didn't give a shit? He was a founding member of a then huge band and they could've made a lot of money off of him and this band.

Here is my answer. Because Adler was using drugs when recording Cival War and couldn't get it down right because he got sloppy a certain distance into the song. Just because these songs might have been solid on drums doesn't mean that if he got high and what not, he'd be able to record more. The record company went there because these tracks were fine and they felt they could do something about it but because Adler's dealer walked in they knew he wasn't clean and therefore couldn't trust that he was going to be able to play fine on a day-to-day basis.

 no as a matter of fact, he wasn't on drugs during civil war. he was high on heroin every single day for over a month and then one day he didn't, and he was in a massive heroin-hangover and got some pills from a doctor (who didn't know he was doing smack) and those pills along with what was left of the heroin (it stays in your body for weeks even when you're not high) made him really really sick. nobody could have played in that situation, he told slash that they would have to delay the studio time but the either slash or the record company (i cant remember which) which said they couldn't and so he tried, and the results were 20-30 takes without succeeding.

  and yeah guns were high all the time and it took them fucked up long time to get signed and even when they had, geffen refused to let them record unless they'd get them self together (enough so it wouldn't be too visible).

sources:

#1 slash's book. (for how long it took them to get signed and what geffen said)

#2 interview with adler here: http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/articles/showarticle.php?articleid= (what i said about adler) notify that he hadn't talked to axl since he was fired when this interview was going on, so he's still bitter with him.

yeah true,i even hated it more when he started band with tracii guns that was called guns of destruction, since tracii GUNS was in l.a. GUNS and brides of DESTRUCTION, and adler was in GUNS n roses and gave out the album appetite for DESTRUCTION. was probably a good band and all, it's just that the name was so unoriginal.
