West was a friend of the band. He also helped to write some songs. He died of a drug overdose in 1997.

What is interesting about West Arkeen and his involvement with GN'R... After Axl had fired Gilby, the should have called West. He proved he could work with the guys, he wasn't a guitar hero, but a good guitarist, good for rhythm... So why didn't they call West?

West also co-wrote or wrote It's so easy and back off bitch.

He was very good on guitar, and could obviosly help create an original tune.

How long after Gilby's "checks stopped coming in" did West od? Or did West od before?


edit:
They also knew him way before they knew of Gilby.

Just to add to what has already been said, West died of a drug overdose shortly after suffering major burns from a gas grill explosion. (thats was the radio reported at the time)

That's absolutely correct. If memory serves me correct Wes actually od on pain killers, appearently he was servely burnt. I thought this should be clearifed b/c for me personally there's a difference b/t over dosing on hard drugs and pain killers.
