GILBY CLARKE Comments On Possibility Of GUNS N' ROSES Reunion

October 18, 2007

Ronny North of the Guitar Jam Daily recently conducted an interview former GUNS N' ROSES rhythm guitarist Gilby Clarke. An excerpt from the chat follows:

Ronny North: Everyone knows that you were in GUNS N' ROSES and that whole story. Did you start singing or playing guitar first? Tell us what got you into playing music and a little about your first band and about your former band CANDY that you were in before GUNS. Any chance of a CANDY reunion??? Care to comment about the GN'R reunion rumors?

Gilby Clarke: "I moved from Ohio to California when I just started high school. I found that music was a great way to make new friends in California. I had just started playing guitar at that time. In my first band I played guitar and sang. I joined CANDY as a guitarist. CANDY was a local Hollywood band that was just starting to draw around town. We were headlining clubs like the Whiskey, Troubadour and the Roxy without a deal. We eventually got a deal, made a record, toured and lived the life. CANDY did all these things without a manager, agent, etc., we got all those things once we got signed, but that's when everything fell apart. I've noticed even though I've had managers, agents, etc.,I've gotten all my best gigs without them. All my bands including CANDY, KILL FOR THRILLS and my solo deals, I got with out representation. I got the GN'R gig, ROCK STAR SUPERNOVA on my own too.

"As far as reunions go? Who knows what's gonna happen with GN'R, I guess that's what makes it still interesting. Even when the band was at its peak, we never knew what the future held, so why would we now? "
