“It had a swing and a weird swagger to it that can’t really be duplicated. Kind of like lightning in a bottle”: Ex-Guns N’ Roses drummer Josh Freese says that nobody can play those classic GN’R songs like OG drummer Steven Adler did

Steven Adler.

Josh Freese is one of many great drummers to have featured in Guns N’ Roses over the years – and as far as he’s concerned, nobody could ever play the way Steven Adler did on the band’s legendary debut album Appetite For Destruction.

Freese joined Guns N’ Roses in the late ’90s as the replacement for Matt Sorum, who had taken over from Adler in 1990.
