"Ex-Guns N&amp;#039; Roses drummer Steven Adler has said he has no hard feelings over Axl Rose&amp;#039;s decision not to attend the band&amp;#039;s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction. Rose announced last week that he would skip Saturday&amp;#039;s gala because he didn&amp;#039;t feel &amp;quot;wanted or respected&amp;quot; by his former bandmates. The &amp;#039;Welcome To The Jungle&amp;#039; singer also requested not to be inducted &amp;quot;in absentia&amp;quot;.  Guns N&amp;#039; Roses&amp;#039; Hall of Fame induction went on without the frontman in Cleveland, with Rose&amp;#039;s name apparently drawing boos when he was mentioned during the ceremony. Adler, who drummed for Guns N&amp;#039; Roses from 1985 to 1990, spoke of Rose&amp;#039;s absence with Rolling Stone following the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame concert. &amp;quot;All I have to say is I love Axl very much and I was blessed that... he was a part of my life,&amp;quot; Adler noted. The drummer went on to express hopes that Guns N&amp;#039; Roses&amp;#039; induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will pave the wave for many of his other favorite bands. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s such an honor to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, but then I found out that KISS isn&amp;#039;t in here, and then I found out the other day that Rush isn&amp;#039;t in there,&amp;quot; Adler said. &amp;quot;They&amp;#039;ve got to be inducted. If it wasn&amp;#039;t for those bands and a couple other ones, there wouldn&amp;#039;t be a Guns N&amp;#039; Roses.&amp;quot;  Adler was joined at the induction ceremony by Guns N&amp;#039; Roses guitarist Slash, bassist Duff McKagan and fellow drummer Matt Sorum. Those four joined with Alter Bridge&amp;#039;s Myles Kennedy to perform two of Guns N&amp;#039; Roses&amp;#039; classic tracks, &amp;#039;Sweet Child O&amp;#039; Mine&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;Paradise City&amp;#039;. Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Faces/The Small Faces, the Beastie Boys and Laura Nyro were also inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland on Saturday (April 14). &amp;gt; Guns N&amp;#039; Roses Izzy Stradlin thanks Rock and Roll HOF for induction &amp;gt; Guns N&amp;#039; Roses Axl Rose wrong for refusing Hall of Fame, says Dee Snider Watch the former Guns N&amp;#039; Roses stars perform &amp;#039;Sweet Child O&amp;#039; Mine&amp;#039; in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame concert below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
