It's probably the same room he uses for practice or whatever. Yeah, or he's working on his own stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I share one with Joe Walsh and Duane Allman Think its a Dunlop Tortex heavy. I use the same kind I share mine with Duff lol Regarding the band I honestly think there was a plan back in 2016, probably 2-year world tour followed by record.. but Axl happened. His demons and fears seem to hold him back, he regresses into laziness, loses his fitness, stops working on his voice, stops doing anything of meaningful progress. I reckon Sluff are just along for the ride at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He brings no financial gain to the perception of the group 2. The band already have a guy in that role that, a lot fans like and Axl and Slash seem to be as high on him as ever. The only reasons Gilby gets back on stage with GNR are that he's playing a festival on the same day, or he's in the same town for whatever reason and said he'd check out the show... the only other option would be that GNR wanted to do a one off UYI "reunion" spot within one of their gigs with the current group. I think Axl likes him, but I don't think he loves his playing vibe... I could be wrongs about that, but reading between the lines in what Axl has said over the years that was the impression I got. Axl seemed to just view him as a utility player, right or wrong! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is quite apparent Gilby didn't act as a lead guitar player in Guns.. He played his role perfectly.. As well as in Snakepit and he also let Slash play lead on two songs from PAwnshop Guitar. Also have never heard Slash say anything negative.. Fortus is the one who wants to be a lead player. Constantly overdoing it. Watch the Rocket Queen from down load and his solo still doesn't fit the song at all. Then hoe the hell is Slash supposed to solo tastefully over whatever the hell he is doing in the background during Slash's solo? Less is more when being a rhythm guitarist unless you can tasfeful intertwine.. He can't.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said that Dave Kishner was the first guitar player to truly compliment his style since Izzy and that Gilby was “too conscious” of Slash’s playing to be a good fit.
