Appetite for Self-Destruction -- Adler Busted Again

Posted Feb 1st 2009 3:30PM by TMZ Staff

Steven AdlerWe've learned Steven Adler -- former drummer for Guns 'N Roses -- has been busted (again) on a drug charge.

Cops tell us Adler was arrested on Jan. 26th and charged with being under the influence of a controlled substance -- a misdemeanor. We don't know the exact substance.

We're told Steven was released the same day at 10:50 AM on $50,527 bail (weirdest amount we ever done seen). No court date has been set.

Adler was busted last July for possession of narcotics, being under the influence and for an outstanding warrant -- and was ordered by the court to stay at the Pasadena Recovery Center.

UPDATE: 6:22 PM ET Steven's people say he was arrested because he hadn't finished his community service in the time frame given by the judge. They say Adler went to register as a drug offender -- also court ordered -- on the 26th, when cops acted on the arrest warrant stemming from the unfinished community service. He was charged with "being under the influence of a controlled substance" because that was the original charge from his July arrest.

Steven's people want to make it clear he was not under the influence of drugs.

61. You first have to wonder if he was doing it for publicity, but after seeing the last episode, i think this guys' really fu**ed..up.
He seems to be the type that doesn't want help, like that doofus from Taxi...
I think they need to let this dude go and let someone else in the house, who REALLY WANTS help !!!

just my opinion

63. Hey # 41 Steven does have 'people' because he has a band that does (did) tour, Adler's Appetite or something like that. It amazes me how well he came back from his stroke and is able to still play drums very well. I do think his 'people' are part of his problem though because his manager was just arrested for DUI or something like that (it was on here). His name is David Weintraub or something like that and he manages some of the other celebs on Sober House. Sad, cuz I think that manager is a slime ball and should be run out on a rail! That's my 2 cents...Good luck Steven people are pulling for ya!

70. Good for you TMZ for clarifying the charge. I'm rooting for Steven and all the folks from Celebrity Rehab. Alchohol/drug addiction is a vicious disease and I commend Steven for pursuing the recovery path.

71. He is quite pathetic and horribly damaged by his stroke.

72. His bond was probably that strange because of state fees on crimes. California's state fee on misdemeanor charges is probably $27. His bond would be $50,500, but you have to add the state fee. Most states charge fees on bonds for all warrants that are issued through a Court.

73. Adler is a wanker for sure. All that money and not a brain cell to be found in that empty head of his

Nice mouth on you there...
I am highly educated. Your post shows that you can't discuss any viewpoint without being foulmouthed and not posting anything factual.
Maybe you should look up the word Disease and its origin.
Go to sites such as WebMD, these types of issues are termed under "addiction", "(substance) abuse", "dependence", etc., NOT disease.
An alcoholic or drug addict had a choice, and started down their path by their own choosing.
Tell me how a child with a disease such as asthma or congenital heart disease chose their physical affliction.

Steven, I think you're awesome. I can tell that you have a kind heart and you want to make people smile. Your wife is adorable and it's so cute to see how much you love her. You've got my support. I wish you peace and happiness. Keep rockin'!
