Gilby's a real dude. That's exactly the attitude I have and have always felt like the odd one out in my local scene. He's right that the scene is ready for a new band to shake it up.
I don't think that there is anyone who has aged as gracefully as Gilby Clark. Other that the facial hair, he still looks the same...if not better and healthier than he did back in the early 90s. Dude is great...and was the absolute perfect replacement for Izzy. It is cool that he got to be on the Spaghetti Incident, as well. Even though it wasn't their best seller and wasn't their songs, im sure the performance royalties were still nice.
this guy is so underrated, imagine, he came into a band that had an absolutely amazing and talented guitar player and music writer, and filled his shoes very well.... the pressure had to be immense. great interview from a rocker that has seen how much rock and roll has changed and how it will never be the same
Many years ago I went and saw gilby play at a small club in KC,mo. They sounded great! I was right in front of gilby when he handed me a pick held his guitar out so I could strum his axe while he fretted the neck! Eric Singer was his drummer at the time and a very nice cat! Highly recommend checking Gilby out if and when he’s in your town!
Thank you for the interview. The only guy who was sober can remember what all happened. Well spoken and very knowledgeable. He's obviously still working in the music industry. That is great to see. Playing, teaching, producing, that's very important. Being on stage, screaming fans gets all the glory. Playing sets in a club somewhere is fun. But making records and booking gigs is a businesses. How often a shady business? Great music growing up with. I loved the metal bands eighties into the nineties. I was exposed to the bands that inspired them. I loved them too. History I suppose and it deserves to be remembered.
In the 90's, I owned 600 albums, mainly from the 50's, 60's, and 70's. Some were works of art, I had them on my walls. Gilby has some strong points in this video, usually I get bored with interviews but he's got some points there. Personally, I think the "rock band" aspect of the music industry is dead as well as albums. Back then, there were literally hundreds of rock bands playing live all over the place. It's all gone now, I get it, times have changed.
that could have something to do with the fact the 50's, 60's and 70's were overall just plain BETTER than most anythang after that. MTV taking over the industry and music videos becoming mandatory was the beginning of the end. yer music could suck ass but you have a cool mini movie to accompany it and that sells yer units for you. amazing crutch. proud to say i am working on my third album and though i record digitally (must say i don't miss working with tape at all) i still do it the old fashioned way. as if i'm back in the 70's and i have a career depending on it. and the thought of any music video to go with it never enters my head.
@@charlesleblanc7777nobody since had the impact GNR did. GNR may have had the biggest impact of all time. Greta sounds great but it’s just a zeplin copy cat
I always think of the clip with Chuck Berry on TV performing with John Lennon and Yoko, Yoko starts her noises and the expression on Chuck's face is too priceless. You can't understate Chucks influence on music, it's just massive and I'm sure there were a few people who came before Elvis in the Rock N Roll stakes including Chuck.
admittedly its bait'n'switch. but i was still interested to hear from gilbey clarke, a guy I hadn't heard of since he was on that American Rockstar Idol show thing.
I saw the 1st Hollywood Rose show at The Roxy ( Not by choice-Thought they were AWFUL!) But a little while after Guns & Roses came out and they got signed. Izzy is what made the band, key songwriter.
Watching this sorta makes me upset. Izzy left the band saying his quitting because the band are on drugs. So why was Steven Adler kicked out when the whole band was fuked up ? That makes blood bole.
Rock is done for. As Gilby said there's only 12 notes you can use to create something. Music nowadays is what the record companies want especially the major labels. True artists will tell big companies where to go and go independent to do things their way.
Gilby Clark talks about music being products, yet he did the reality tv band Rockstar Supernova But I forgive him for that because he’s got the “cool” factor lol
Poser hair metal was big. Then, some real ass rock and dudes dudes took over, then when they acted rock and roll we were surprised? You can't have one with out the other. Now, Izzy is the ROCK of Appetite. As a guitarist and recording engineer, I can tell you that IZZY is holding down the riffs while Slash has his "fun" with it. It's a formula that worked but his leaving changed the band so much, I lost interest. No Izzy, no GnR. As far as Steven goes, they replaced tomato sauce with ketchup in your pizza. Naahhhhhhh.
Don't get me wrong I love Van Halen, Bad Co, Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax and Slayer but the newer bands are more extreme in their sound. Periphery and Massugah come to mind. Their heavy songs are brutal. Metal might not be mainstream but it's got a huge following.
Gilby was so on point here. If you are a true artist you always need to satisfy yourself first . If you are trying to calculate what is popular, or what is fashionable with your music, you are really just pandering. It's called having Artistic Integrity
A song cannot be iconic - nor can any sound at all, for that matter; only Imagery is iconic - i.e., someone or something whose image is famous to the point of being symbolic (the word Icon - in original Greek - Means image). Iconic is now the most overused word on CZcams - and certainly the most MISused. Misusers seem to think the word means simply "widely known,: or "instantly recognizable," etc. Buts just as flavors, scents, ideas, emotions, bodily sensations, et al. can't be iconic, neither can Sounds (songs, bass lines, beats, etc.). Misuse of Iconic has become rampant due to the CZcams Feedback Loop - wherein errors are propagated as video-makers parrot one another's speech.
Stole??? I didn't know he had sole possession of it in the mid 50s. It amazes me how people perceive things in life and it's scary if those same people procreate.
The vibe I get is that Izzy Stradlin left Gn'R because he didn't like Matt Sorum and that Axl Rose wouldn't let him perform more songs on the UYI albums. In my opinion, those were the main reasons why he left.
its funny bc a great CLASSIC ROCK STATION MMM in Aus plays GUNS and NIRVANA/ALTERNATIVE. I do consider old Guns classic rock but not NIRVANA? I know its a dichotomy but i just felt a shift in the zeitgeist w Grunge/alternative. I do however see Guns as the 1 bridging band from the 80s to the 90s. by 90 Axl was evolving like we were. NWA NIN NIRVANA PEPPERS so i see them ALONE as the bridge. i like some 80s la metal still but not really only Guns bc they areunique
IZZY IS THE GUY I WOULD WANT IN OUR BAND
Gilby's a real dude. That's exactly the attitude I have and have always felt like the odd one out in my local scene. He's right that the scene is ready for a new band to shake it up.
in my opinion he was the GnR MVP.
Izzy WAS GnR….once he left they were done.
Without a doubt
Not even remotely true.
Once Adler was gone, they were never the same
I share the same outlook on rock music as Gliby views it. Great video Daniel! Thank you so much for this.
You’re welcome! Cheers
I totally agree. He makes some great points in this interview.

especially since he was payed peanuts for his efforts. $2,500.00 a gig. better than working in a factory but ridiculous fer a band of that stature.

good point Gilby the danger and attitude is gone....
He’s well spoken
We need a guns n roses type band. GNR put rock N roll back on the map.
Well you got honey and greta van fleet.. idk maybe there’s more
@@charlesleblanc7777 Honey?

Elvis didn't start rock and roll that was chuck berry

Sister Rosetta Sharpe & big mama Thornton invented r n r
I thought Bono started rock n roll.
@@mondoseguendo6113 No, he just perfected it.🤣🤣🤣
Everybody but Jelly Roll Morton is a poser
Wow,great interview,really positive guy,he talks so much good sense.
If only Axl was a quite passive stoner and slash and Izzy was the leader of the band. Guns would still be together.
The question remains
Where's Izzy ?
Not one mention of his whereabouts today.
admittedly its bait'n'switch. but i was still interested to hear from gilbey clarke, a guy I hadn't heard of since he was on that American Rockstar Idol show thing.
@@jb1934 but where's Izzy?
Seriously, is Izzy sharing a flat with Vito Bratta and that dude that sings do you feel like I do.. .. ?
Where is he?
Living a quiet, peaceful life in California just vibing apparently
chilling, doing his own thing however and whenever he likes. dude's living the dream.
It takes a lot to leave a huge band at the height of its success. I understand why Izzy quit. But that had to be a hard decision.
He said it wasn't fun anymore
I saw the 1st Hollywood Rose show at The Roxy ( Not by choice-Thought they were AWFUL!) But a little while after Guns & Roses came out and they got signed. Izzy is what made the band, key songwriter.
Either that Gilby interview is really old, or he is really, really bad at math
Never text and drive, never drink and drive. Stay safe, guys!
Stopping the show started a riot. So he did indeed start it.
One wonders why Gilby Clarke was not taken on as rhythm guitarist for the reunited band's tours. He was in the band during their heyday.
That was the fun of it the reason i loved it ❤
Gilby just said there are so many great bands that never made it but jelly roll did
Most be at a Mc Donals near his home.
Izzy was the glue axl went completely off the rails when he left
Izzy wrote all the songs.... Riff master
Watching this sorta makes me upset.
Izzy left the band saying his quitting because the band are on drugs.
So why was Steven Adler kicked out when the whole band was fuked up ?
That makes blood bole.
Because Adler wouldn't show up, that's the difference...
He couldnt play.
His timing had been off in gigs previous to his sacking and he couldnt perform in the studio.
I agree
not Where is Izzy, it's Where Izzy?
Rock is done for. As Gilby said there's only 12 notes you can use to create something. Music nowadays is what the record companies want especially the major labels. True artists will tell big companies where to go and go independent to do things their way.
There was probably protometal before the flood so heavy it’d melt your face. That was real devil’s music.
Gilby Clark talks about music being products, yet he did the reality tv band Rockstar Supernova
But I forgive him for that because he’s got the “cool” factor lol
I was hoping this video was about Izzy Stradlin not his replacement.

Never knew too many people who could sing

Love Gilby!
Handsome dude no home O
Gilby Clark was hired help.
Gilby should listen to Ghost and Avenged Sevenfold
"Hendrix changed all those guys. but Eddie Van Halen changed all these guitar players".
“For me classic rock is up to the year X” lemme guess you were born in the year x-18.
Gilbys voice has an uncanny resemblance to GG Allins.
It's weird...
Axl is a crazy bipolar narcissist. He is the one for being responsible for guns n roses for not being together. who can deal with that?
The reason kurt killed himself came true
Gilby n Matt are lucky sob average players n also made gnr weak
GnR were the last great rock band

Elvis stole rock & roll
Stole??? I didn't know he had sole possession of it in the mid 50s. It amazes me how people perceive things in life and it's scary if those same people procreate.

They’re punk whether you like it or not.

Izzy didn't dislike Matt personally. But Izzy said Matt's drumming isn't suit for his taste
