Adler – Back From The Dead (2012)

When former Guns N’ Roses drummer Steven Adler comes back from the dead, he means it.  When Adler’s new CD hits the stores on 11/27, prepare to be BLOWN AWAY! Back From The Dead is packed with great songs, and some killer guest appearances from John 5, Slash and Jeff Pilson. I have been looking forward to Adler’s solo debut for quite some time, but I didn’t expect it to be THIS good.

I had high hopes for this album after hearing “The One That You Hated” a few months ago. Back From The Dead does not disappoint one bit!

Jeff Pilson produced the album with Adler, and also handles all of the bass work on the CD.  When you have a rhythm section that is Steven Adler and Jeff Pilson, can you really do wrong?

Steven Adler scored big when he got Lynam’s Jacob Bunton to join his band.  No only does Bunton handle the vocals for Adler, but is also the lead song writer. Bunton has written a bunch of quality songs, and delivers what could be the vocal performance of his career.

The opening song “Back From The Dead” almost has a Cinderella like opening, but once this song kicks into gear, it is a take no prisoners, head-banging tune.

“Own Worst Enemy”, “Another Version of The Truth” and “The One That You Hated” are three more killer tracks stacked up back to back.

I was excited to learn that John 5 is one of the guest guitarists on Back From The Dead. If you are familiar with John 5, then you will recognize his playing on “Good To Be Bad”.  His guitar work is amazing on this song!

I figured that “Just Don’t Ask featuring Slash would be a real ripping track, and I was very wrong about that one.  This is a slower track, but Slash’s fretwork shines.  This is a great song!

“Blown Away” is a real rocker that ought to be a radio single for Adler.  This song is going to take the world by storm.

“Your Diamonds” has a 70’s classic rock feel, while the album closer “Dead Wrong” has a more of a modern feel to it.

Back From The Dead is easily one of the biggest surprises, and strongest albums of 2012. I love this album, and I think you will too! Don’t miss this!

    Glad to see Jacob get a new gig, Lynam has gone as far as they could good. Will never forget him opening a show for Poison with the “This song is about eating Pussy”. Freaked a lot of people out!
