“At some point,” Axl swore later, “I just had to give Adler some of my rights in order to preserve this fucking group. One of the biggest mistakes in my life. But I had no choice. ” This happened at a group meeting at their hotel, Milford Plaza. Stephen Adler said he was not going to stay in the group if he was deprived. And it worked! People at Geffen told Guns that their album might be delayed or not released at all if Adler left the band and sued the rest of the members. So Stephen Adler successfully robbed his comrades, and now part of the publishing rights belonged to the drummer.
