November rain came three months early, as Guns 'N' Roses drummer Steven Adler broke down in court this AM after pleading "Not guilty" to drug charges.

Adler -- who told us he's already used up his scratch from "Sober Living" to pay for rehab and lawyers -- was busted last month for allegedly being high as a kite.

The judge said Adler must stay in the Pasadena Recovery Center -- and that clearly pissed Adler off.

So after court, our guy told Adler the BEST THING EVER -- he hoped Steven's sobriety would come before Chinese Democracy.

1. He still has the same exact hairstyle....

Time to move on, dontcha think?

2. So Adler is playing in that band Axl calls Guns N' Roses?

Wow.

As much as I enjoyed their music when they were relevant, I hope Chinese Democracy never sees the light of day.

I'll just listen to A7X.

3. TMZ got that wrong. Adler's not "pissed," he's a wreck...

...And when you have to face the shambles of your life in open court, in front of cameras, you might just shed a tear or two. Why Adler wants to talk to TMZ after that, and why his presumably first-rate lawyer let it happen, is beyond me. Then again, I don't suppose it matters much. The man's a talented drummer, and I hope he gets his shit together.

5. I feel bad for the guy.

I didn't know he had a stroke until I saw him on some GnR special this year. He seemed happy sober.
