Not only that, but posting that pic of Slash confirms Axl has a pic of Slash saved in his phone. 2020 really is something else. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNR_RNR Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 So it seems Slash is going to be a guest as part of the ACDC Back in Black anniversary, yet no Axl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post James Bond Posted July 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 29, 2020 I honestly cannot think of a single negative thing about Gilby except that he wasn't in the band long enough. Pawnshop Guitars shows that a Guns album with his songwriting input could have been killer. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are phenomenal compared to the flat renditions they do today. Gilby's background vocals aren't mentioned enough but they were a big part in those acoustic sets as well. Him and Slash also showed their chemistry in the studio on TSI, The first Snakepit record and the songs they did on Pawnshop guitars. Cure Me or Kill Me, Monkey Chow and Dead Flowers would have been perfect spots on the next Guns album that never happened. I bet Slash, Axl and Gilby could have made a heck of a writing team.. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't have said it better!! In the perfect (obviously not Guns) world that would work like a clockwork...maybe even Matt could have his few moments + Duff (who was still Punk As Fuck then). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made Slash sound even better on stage imo and he has a cool charisma about him. Cure me or kill me was really nice. But there must have been reasons why they didnt took Gilby to VR. I love Gilby in rythm guitar and backup vocals. Didn't Gilby say before that the reason he and Slash never worked in any other bands full time post-Guns was that Gilby wanted to move on and play lead guitar too? I feel like I remember something to that effect but I'm sure someone can confirm. It seems like they are still on good terms but that would also explain why he's never been more than a guest with Slash on anything in recent years. 3 hours ago, Tom-Ass said: Same...

I think Slash, Axl, and Gilby could have been the next best thing to having Izzy back around for the writing sessions based on the material Gilby put out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaskingApathy Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Yeah I think Gilby was trying to focus more on his solo career around VR time, but idk if he was ever asked directly to join. Would've been cool if he was in VR though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would've been cool if he was in VR though. He said he was never asked to join VR but he wouldn't have been interested if he had been asked because he saw himself as a lead guitar player. My impression of Gilby that he's a nice and down-to-earth guy, but also a very proud person, so he has an attitude that he "doesn't care". He had the same attitude in interviews after he was out of GnR (he had presented as his own choice to leave) and recently about his non induction in the Hall Of Fame (he said he didn't care about the HOF but at the same time he sounded hurt over the whole thing). Maybe Slash never forgave Gilby for suing GnR over the pinball machine back in 1995? Who knows. I think that although Slash doesn't seem to hold grudges in the way Axl does and can be "cool" with everybody (still talk to them or even jam with them occasionally) that doesn't mean he wants much to do with them or work with them on a permanent basis.

I think Axl never saw Gilby as a replacement for Izzy beyond the live shows. In the end, Gilby said Chinese wasn't his thing. Paul's, Robin's, and Bucket's contributions definitely aren't too similar in style to Gilby's tunes. I like Gilby's style. An underrated album of his is "Swag" from 2002. Very enjoyable imo.
