SlashisGOD Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I hope he makes a guest appearance sometime. Or even better, he joins on second guitar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenan Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 ^^After seeing that video in which he raped the Sweet Child O' Mine solo..I wouldn't mind NOT seeing him with GNR anymore.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emybdc Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 He comes off as so down to earth to me. He handles Axl questions with a lot of class. Not everyone can do that (specially Mr. Sorum) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emybdc Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Just now, DIST said: Yeah he is very mellow, but he did sue the band back in the day. Yeah but who hasn't? lol You're right tho, I forgot about that. I wonder if there's any other band that has such a vast collection of law suits...

vloors Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 Yea he seems like a mellow down to earth guy. His upcoming solo record should be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure but to sue for name misappropriation, after given such an opportunity in the biggest band in the world at the time...didn't seem very Gilby to me. Yeah no one beats GNR in suits.

DieselDaisy Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I agree but there is always some wanker who prefers Richard Fortus, whose name is bandied around here like Gandhi crossed with Jimi Hendrix. When one mentions Gilby Clarke you merely receive in reply, ''It would be unfair to Richard who has been a loyal servant and an excellent guitarist; I am excited to hear what Fortus and Slash produce'' etc etc. , then a bunch of gunk on how Gilby was the 'original hack'.

wasted Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I think it's just Fortus can write with Axl and play with Slash. If it was a reunion Gilby makes more sense. But it's not it seems. I would go Izzy for a real reunion or Fortus for a new record which has been in the pipeline maybe. Putting a UYI touring line up back together seems a little vague. It's like low level nostalgia. Nobody really aches for that line up. It's more the original 5, and Axl doesn't seem to think it's possible. If they bring Gilby back now to write what was the problem way back when? I actually reckon Izzy does his songs better solo than with Guns, his aesethetic works with his songs. Its weird to have off beat aloof songs in a stadium band. It's a Keef solo spot then back to the anthems. It's a cameo for Izzy but he's more talented than that from his solo work. I feel like Fortus has something to offer recording wise. Live he has a visual presence they might need with 2 guitarists. He has some chemistry with Axl from his version of Heaven's door at Vegas I saw.

Juventino Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Never had an issue with Gilby and I'd like to see him on stage with them at some point. Bring him up for a song or two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Boy Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Does anyone know: why was Gilby not inducted int the hall of fame with GNR? It doesn't seem fair. He was the guitarist for a big chunk of the UYI tour, more than Izzy. Sorum was included, so why not Gilby? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Boy Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) Yeah I figured that just after I posted lol. Also if they included Gilby, then it would be like, why not Teddy.. and Tracy and Roberta haha.. Edited March 14, 2016 by Nice Boy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ludurigan Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Gilby seems to be a cool guy and his solo stuff is allright (except for a few tunes like Black, Cure Me... and the Col Parker album which are really great) BUT No one so far was able to replace Izzy, really. Izzy has a unique way of playing the songs, of hitting the notes. The groove. It's mostly in his right hand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsfan Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Love gilby. I would still go with fortus first, he seems like a better guitar player and he fits GNR better. But that's not to say gilby didn't fit GNR, hired hand or not. All in all, I hope he can make a guest appearance at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post spunko12345 Posted March 14, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 14, 2016 I just found out his real name is Gilbert If you took away the nicknames the band sounds a lot less the most dangerous band in the world and more like a few of your dad's old mates down the pub. Jeff, Bill, Steve, Gilbert, Ron, Mike and Darren. Interesting how Darrens are always wankers. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulMonster Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Gilby is a great guy. Professional and friendly. As for who should be part of the touring lineup: I prefer Richard because of his skills and because of his contributions to CD material, released and unreleased.

I don't care for Gilbert's solo material or Fortus's for that matter. Also, if what Richard said is true and Slash offered him a spot in one of his bands, that's a good thing cause it's not a Slash-Pitman thing. At least it makes sense together. Just as much as Clerk. I prefer Huge anyway. Edited March 14, 2016 by Rovim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Fortus played on All About the Benjamins. That to me makes him perfect for GNR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom-Ass Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I'd take Gilby any day over Fortus. Fortus is a showboat.. Don't need that in a rhythm guitarist. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
