In Their Own Words

Gilby: I never even thought I was going to make it to the first gig.¹

Gilby: I didn't even know that I was getting a solo spot until the day before the first gig! They just came up to me and said, "So what are you going to play in your solo segment?" I mean, why would I get a solo segment? So then Axl said, "Well, Izzy always used to do a little solo before 'Patience.' Do you think you can come up with something?" I just didn't want to get out there and do a lead guitar thing. Slash is the lead guitarist. So I decided to play "Wild Horses," which is one of my favorite songs.²

Gilby: Right when we were about to do the first show, Slash came up to me and said "you know before Patience, Izzy always did a little something, it's a solo, what are you gonna do?" and I gotta tell you, I didn't even think of anything but I had done Wild Horses acoustic a couple of times, so it was just my idea to do that and it just kinda clicked with the guys, they liked it. You know, and everybody knew it so they sang and played along.

Gilby: I only had two weeks from the moment I stepped into the rehearsal place to the first gig in Boston with Soundgarden.

Gilby: My goal was to walk out with no cheat sheets. And I actually knew all the songs except for two.³
