Ex-GUNS N' ROSES Guitarist CLARKE: AXL ROSE Is 'An Incredibly Talented Guy' - Aug. 5, 2006  
 
Devin Pratt of FHM (For Him Magazine) recently conducted an interview with former GUNS N' ROSES and current SUPERNOVA guitarist Gilby Clarke. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow:

FHM: The "Use Your Illusion" tours must have been legendary.

Gilby: "It was the best â€" one of the greatest experiences ever. As a kid, my dream was to play in a loud rock 'n' roll band and it didn't get any better than that. GNR was perfect loud rock and I loved their music. I wasn't trying to be Izzy. I got to be myself, and I played exactly the way I play. Nobody told me to do anything a certain way. It was perfect."

FHM: What were GUNS N' ROSES groupies like?

Gilby: "Unbelievable. GNR was the ultimate decadent lifestyleâ€"we were expected to fuck up. I saw some pretty crazy things. GNR had a reputation for being a little tardy when we were playing, so there was always a couple of hours from the opening band until we took the stage. We had cameras that would show all the girls lifting up their shirts â€" they were just cameras that scan the audience before any concert, but what they didn't realize was we were sitting in the back with walkie-talkies directing where the cameras went.

FHM: So you guys hand-picked the cream of the crop?

Gilby: "There's nothing funnier than seeing some chick with a nice rack on camera with thousands of people screaming around her and our guys slapping backstage passes on them. We definitely enjoyed ourselves."

FHM: Do you miss playing with those guys?

Gilby: "It was like anything in life â€" it had a beginning, middle and an end. I have great memories and, as the years go by, I tend to forget the crap. The band was great, and we loved playing. But you know what? It doesn't exist anymore. We're not the same people, so even if you put us all in a room together and say, 'Go play 'Welcome to the Jungle',' it's not the same. I don't wanna do that anymore. I did it and it was great, but I don't really need to relive that. I'm way more excited about SUPERNOVA."

FHM: To get back to GUNS N' ROSES for a moment, do you think "Chinese Democracy" will come out this year?

Gilby: "I certainly hope so because I'm so over talking about it. This anticipation is ridiculous. Just get the fuckin' thing out! Every interview I do I get two or three questions about it and I haven't even been in that goddamn rehearsal room in 10 years."

FHM: Does Axl still have what it takes to create great rock?

Gilby: "I've always said he's an incredibly talented guy. The things he writes about blows my mind. The music probably isn't going to have the same angst that it had, but there's probably gonna be some really great stuff on there."

Good that he still has that certain respect for Axl, even though he's intruding on his interview.

Gilby is not like those 3 others spreading rumors like March Release and or Possible Reunion. He's the man. however I wish those 3 others the best cause they're part of history.

Haha, so when Guns came on late in the UK tour, they could have been directing cameras round the audience?!

Gilby is riding the GNR legacy. In my eyes, he contributed nothing to GNR.

I always thaught Gilby was a douch and i don't care now because he "decides" to jump on the "Axl is cool again" bandwagon. I hate the fact they call him "former GnR guitarist when all he ever recorded was TSI.I got my hater blockers on Gilby you fag.

Won't have the same "angst"? WTF has he heard Rhiad and the Bedouins? Obviously not. OH YEAH NIGGA let me hear Perfect Crime again cause that was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO memorable. WTF ever.

Well he was asked the question to be fair. TSI was pretty cool, and there is the small matter of the uyi world tour, during which he performed valiantly. He aint jumping no bandwagon.
