Guns N Roses Gilby Clarke part 2: Axl and Slash passed on my songs

[@chriskuneman3310]

Gilby has always come across as class-act. "Cure me or Kill me" is great song! He deserves a lot more credit than he gets.

[@liveillusion]

Gilby is the best! His interviews are always so well articulated. Just a genuine dude!

[@jacobcable6360]

I love how he is the real deal. And that that era of music is still relevant and younger generations are discovering this music every day and saying to themselves, why doesn’t new music sound as good as this. What happened. My own son says, I wish I had grown up in the 80s so I could have seen some of these guys in their prime. But everything is retro so we can all enjoy this music for a long time to come. We start our tour of the northeast in March 22 and I can’t wait to get back to it. It’s been hell sitting home.

[@dedexyz8475]

This is such a great channel!!! And this interview w/ Gilby proves it. A VERY down to earth, well spoken,n survivor of a tough ass business.

[@cancelbubble6535]

Gilby has gotta be pushing 60 at this point and he looks fantastic.

[@KrushKrills]

Gilbys a cool dude, its a shame we never got a proper follow up to the Use Your Illusions with him on rhythm in GNR.

[@rohan750]

yeah axl was such a dick enjoy your last show after 142 shows!!!!!

[@kellygriffith4509]

Gilby and a handful of us Grew Up Together back in Ohio! I used to hold hands with him when we were in our teens!! 😊 Anyway, he was an amazing guitar player then, and I’m so proud to have been a part of the very very early days (1970’s) when he was first feeling it 💕 blessed to still be friends 50+ years later ✌🏼

[@GTSCarLife]

Really enjoy your channel, and appreciate talent like Gilby Clarke who realized their dreams and remain cool dudes. I was in the mosh pit for the GnR Illusions Tour and got to see him live - a winner then, and a winner still today!

[@elizabethshort2915]

Brilliant, warm, articulate. A great journeyman musician. Excellent insight into the business, because he lived it, and succeeded.

[@gerrywade8480]

Very well said Ms. Elizabeth...TRU!!

[@pendafen7405]

He seems such a lovely authentic decent guy with no bad vibes, and the same cannot be said of most of the men on this scene.

[@dowens3781]

Gilby's first solo album had some good shit - Cure Me Or Kill Me and Tijuana Jail rock! He produced the debut album from my friend's band (Windigo) in the late 90's

[@johnwarren5492]

Yes those were awesome songs. That was a good cd. I wore it out.

[@a.j.garrett9639]

I'll say this every time I see a new gilby interview I always watch it with great interest and I wish nothing but success for the guy. I agree with a lot of what he says and you can't help but like the guy

[@donny_doyle]

Dude- those were some great clubs- and great times. So many bands, so much fun... glad I was part of it...

[@aminostruth3494]

Great channel and content. Gilby is a down to earth humble and sagacious dude.

[@iamnotpaulavery]

What a real, honest and down to Earth guy!! I had the pleasure of bumping into him almost 20 years ago, and he's the same back then as he is now, unlike other musicians that let things get to their heads!

[@tkeooudom]

I've always liked Gilby since his GnR days. He and his band performed in my city tonight in Murrieta, CA at the Rocktober fest. My first time seeing him perform live. He rocked the house.

[@odiesback]

Happy to have found this video! - Gilby has always been a down-to-earth guy! - my band played at the Whisky and Gilby just happened to be there hanging out that night! We talked for a while and that led me to meet him every time he played LA/Orange County clubs!

[@pacovl46]

His guitar tone with that red ESP Telecaster he played during the GNR tour on Wild Horses is fucking awesome!

[@SinisterSash]

Pawnshop Guitars is a great album that I've enjoyed start to finish, time and time again. Props to Gilby

[@musicalSFCat]

My respect towards Gilby Clarke stands incredibly high. Real down to earth "knowledgeable worldly experienced" musician/guitarist. Fantastic interview. Thank you for sharing it on your cool channel. Cheers.

[@chrislestermusic]

My band was playing the same night as Gilby’s band at the Coconut Teaszer in the 90s and he was really cool. There was one moment that has stayed with me forever. Gilby was doing his soundcheck and the soundman asked him to turn the guitar down and Gilby said “that’s the funny thing about this amp. It doesn’t turn down”. 🤣 Now that I know he ran sound before GnR, I respect his response even more.

[@jeffgreene1055]

Best musician interview I've seen in a long time.

[@TheRustedShackleford]

The replacement member doesn't like replacement members.... how ironic

[@tim46387]

Really hit it on the head with the one original band member touring with the band's name, which someome 10 years ago asked me about what I thought about it with Foghat, who I saw as a kid in 79, Awesome show. I felt the negative side of the comment at that time and now I can completely understand the rational reason why an original member of a very successful band would do that. My eyes have been opened to a whole news perspective and I can appreciate that since I admitted I was around and old enough to see Foghat in 79...do the math. Thanks so much! Great interview.!

[@marvelharris9540]

And bluesy rock won out in the end.... Tijuana Jail is a killer tune, slash did great on the solo...

[@number6223]

Did it really though....all they’ve done since Chinese democracy is release 2 songs from the Chinese democracy sessions.

[@marvelharris9540]

[@jefferytrapani9700]

When you see interviews with Gilby Clarke, Slash, Duff, Izzy, Matt Sorum, and Dizzy Reed, these guys are the NICEST guys in the world. Never a bad thing said about them. Funny, laid back, really nice guys. Axle on the other hand- he was a piece of work. Lol

[@cc_1983]

Great interview and always liked his addition to guns

[@jasonstallworth]

Loved this one! I like how he’s diversified himself because that’s what you have to do to make a living in music (I do all of this on a smaller scale).

[@matiasmendiara6273]

The first CD I bought was Pawnshop guitars on 1999, I listened to it for years until every song sounded catchy in my ears. Such a great album, Actually each Gilby album is like a rock n roll lesson, because he mixes different styles, not just 80s hard rock.

[@danielszabo505]

An intelligent guy, Gilby! I liked his nuanced attitude to being a working musician. Thank you, a great interview.

[@ancestroscord2904]

Appropriate recognition of Hanoi Rocks!!! Besides their style and approach to songs, G N R even took “Welcome to the Jungle” directly from Hanoi’s Underwater World.

[@DevinRyanVitek]

Hanoi Rocks was one of the best bands ever.

[@bcanfield1860]

Welcome to the jungle/ welcome to the sea/welcome to the ocean/deep inside of me Rocket Queen also always reminded me of Don’t You Ever Leave Me.

[@clarkbuckner4900]

Love his comments about the newer bands.

[@olafhenke5654]

True ! I was in high school and went to see Gilby with his solo band. It was my first concert and aproach to the GnR world live. year 2001 or 02. At that time I never though Axl, Slash and Duff would reunite. But they did. Never say never. Cheers from Argentina!

Gillby is a real deal musician and great human being. I met him at NAMM 09 and he was really nice he will make you comfortable and understand that everyone is a fan of someone very gracious, looking back that was memorable.

[@crekeraj292]

I never got too much into Gilby solo stuff but I just listened to those 3 songs he mentioned....any one of them (or all 3!!) could have been included on Illusions.....seems like maybe Axl and Slash didn't want to split the $$$ ......seems like they used his inspiration without having to pay him... :-/ Seems like a pretty down to earth guy...

[@yourfriendlyneighbourhoods8202]

You do realise that gilby joined the band after the illusion albums were released right?

[@crekeraj292]

[@raythackston1960]

There have been bands that had 3 touring groups with one member in them at the same time.At one time in the late1980's when a band called the Swinging Medalians had 4 bands out at the same time...one member in each band (some not original mambers) and one with a original members SON in it. All playing around the south east at the same time. My band played in 4 different cities in a 5 week period that one of those bands were playing too. The day will come when bands will be touring with NO original members in them.

[@lucianogoyenechea8704]

there are some already...

[@kylesmith9944]

Axl should have kept (1) Cure me or Kill and (2) Tijuana Jail from Gilbey, (3) Beggars and Hangers On, (4) Neither Can I, (5) "Lower", (6) Back and Forth Again from Snakepit, and (7) Beleive in Me from Duff. GNR would have had half an album. Axl could have brought 5 or 6 songs to fill out the album.

[@BillyHayes79Music]

I love Gilby Clark. But I'm hardly surprised they passed on his songs. They're horrendous

Gilby is a wonderful artist.

I got Pawnshop when it first came out and thought it was a great record. Still is. Most of the other Gilby stuff is just really tough to locate. I’ll have to look on here to see if anyone posted samples. There are some Pawnshop songs that hold their own with most of what’s on UYI. Gilby could have been a real big contributor to a Guns record.
