  Alive is an EP released by American hard rock band Adler's Appetite on April 2, 2012. It is a sequel to the band's first EP, the self-titled Adler's Appetite that was released in February 2005. In 2010 the band released their single “Alive" on iTunes from what was intended to be their upcoming album Alive that was slated to be released in 2011. Also a radio edit of the single was released on July 29, 2010 in conjunction with Steven Adler's tell-all autobiography, My Appetite for Destruction: Sex, and Drugs, and Guns N' Roses, and the band continued recording the album in fall 2011 in North Hollywood, California, and unlike the band's first EP which the band produced itself, Alive was produced by Cinderella band member and drummer Fred Coury, and was also recorded in a different studio as well. The album was mixed by Adler's long time friend Anthony Focx, and was released under the record label Down Boys Records. There is a digital as well as a limited-edition physical release, as Alive is available in both CD and digital music formats.

  * Rick Stitch has said "The CD sounds like a more modern version of Guns N' Roses, and it definitely has everyone’s signature roots and influences on it".
  * Steven Adler has said "The new songs are coming along great, after the response we got from performing Alive all summer, we are really excited to put out more original music and as much as we love doing all the old GN’R stuff, which of course we will continue to do, it will be nice to show the fans that there is so much more to this band than what people have seen”.
