Clarke went on to a career as a solo artist and music producer after leaving the band. He also had his own band Rock Star Supernova from 2006-2008 which also featured Motley Crue’s Tommy Lee and Metallica’s Jason Newsted. In 2012, Gilby Clarke appeared at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony of Guns N’ Roses with fellow G n’R members Slash, Steven Adler, Matt Sorum, and Duff McKagan. Cheers to Gilby on his birthday today!
