Steven Adler has offered Guns N’ Roses an official apology for the remarks that he made yesterday during an interview with Loudwire, in which he insulted Axl Rose‘s new line-up by calling them “hacks.” As previously reported, the comment arose during a discussion of Guns N’ Roses’ upcoming induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame this April.

Today, Fleetwood Mac is one of the biggest bands in the world — but once upon a time, they were just another young blues band, schlepping through British pubs and struggling to come up with a way to set themselves apart from the competition.
