I've read a legend that said "fuck Izzy here's Gilby Clark".
That was the ever loyal Axl Rose speaking kindly about a friend of more than a decade....
It makes me think is fair enought to compare Gilby with Izzy cause I think gilby couldn't achieve all his potential with GNR.
Just enjoy both of their talents and leave comparisons to the desperatly insecure, after all a decision rests on personal preference anyway
