Guns N’ Roses NEW DRUMMER reportedly REVEALED!
Rumors on Reddit suggest Guns N’ Roses are hiring Isaac Carpenter as their new drummer for the band’s 2025 tour. Carpenter is the drummer of Duff McKagan’s Loaded.
In 2016, former Guns N’ Roses drummer Steven Adler made surprise guest appearances during the band’s Not in This Lifetime… tour, marking his first performances with the group in over 26 years. Adler, who was the band’s original drummer before being fired in 1990 due to struggles with substance abuse, joined Guns N’ Roses on stage for a few select dates, playing drums on My Michelle and Out Ta Get Me.
His first guest appearance came on July 6, 2016, at Cincinnati’s Paul Brown Stadium, where he was introduced by frontman Axl Rose and received an enthusiastic response from the crowd. He later performed at additional shows, including stops in Nashville (July 9) and Los Angeles (August 19 and 20).
While Adler was not included as a full-time member of the reunion lineup—which featured Axl Rose, Slash, and Duff McKagan—his brief return was significant for fans who had long hoped to see the classic members perform together again.
Following his appearances, Adler expressed his gratitude and excitement in interviews, stating that playing with Guns N’ Roses again was a dream come true. His guest spots remain a memorable highlight of the band’s historic reunion tour.
