'Hired Gun'.....Gilby Clarke

Stepping in to replace Izzy Stradlin at the band's zenith, Gilby Clarke jumped from club's to Rock's grandest stages seemingly over night. Gilby proved to be as reliable as they come surviving the gruelling Illusions tour. Gilby's solo efforts also really pack a punch and we take a look at his solo efforts from 1994's 'Pawnshop Guitars' to 2021's 'The Gospel Truth'. We discuss what tracks could have been for GN'R and also his tenure in the band to his exit in 1994. We also discuss our picks which we think are worthy of a listing on your playlist.
