Why was Gilby Fired/quit?

[jet]

I wondered about this in the Duff BassPlayer thread.  I believed that since Duff was the last (of the original 5) to leave, he must have been in some agreement with Axl.  

Someone had to be the last one . But I'm glad he's in VR now.

[Mr Cowbell ?]

Yeah how coem VR didint ask GIlby then to be a 2nd guitarist, I am sure he would of been interested. IZZY could write the songs and Gilby play them live.

I found this post:

I think the story goes something like;

Axl: I wanna have a band with 4 guitars

Gilby: I don't think that'll work axl i don't wanna go in that direction

Axl: are you gonna quit?

Gilby: no

Axl: then you're fired

Axl's shocking!

i dont give a shit about gilby... he wasnt a real gunner.

he was an employee and nothing else... not a bandmate.

and the attitude of axl is great!! he is GNR as far as im concerned.
that is the attitude that made them stick out and that is the attitude
axl has.... i love that shit... crazy motherfucker with an attitide...
thats rock n roll!!!! kiddies!!!!

Yeah some attitude!  
Yeah letting fans wait 3 friggin hours before they show up on stage!
3 friggin hours to blow dry his hair, whilst Izzy wants to fly on the plane!
Not releasing CD after sooooooooo many years!
God that bugger should be complete by now!
Not turning up at gigs, singing CD in the early hours of the morning with only 5 people in the bloody bar!

Yeahhhhhhh! Axl rocks!
For gods sake!
It aint rock n' roll!
Sex n drugs n music is rock n' roll!
Proper music- like GNR, Jimi, Lenny, Pixies, Sex Pistols, Ramones etc.........

And Gilby was appreciated by Slash, Duff and Matt, Izzy pulled out, they needed a GOOD replacement for the tour that was going to take place!
Gilby did bloody fine! MUCH better than others would!
He was a good replacement- he WAS in GNR before he got "fired" by Mr Rose! So he was a Gunner!
And his solo work supposedly kicks!   So Mr Gilby Clarke, deserves to be a Gunner, just check out the bloody UYI's dvds, the two tours if you don't believe me!
He plays well and has the right attitude, he looked damn cool on stage!

Very true he is funyn great on stage. On a short notice he filled in great.  I think Izzy was the best writer. BUt gilby should be a gunner. He doesnt even have an ego about it. He thinks he was just a fill in guy, well I think he a Gunner in my book

Gilby has no interest in being in a band unless he plays lead guitar again.

 It's kind of like a clubhouse/gang thing. We're all members of this gang. What it boils down to is, whose yard is the tree house in?  

  He sings and he talks too. You've got to love his rhetorical devices. Uncommon and witty!

Izzy was writing songs with VR originally, until he decided it sounded too much like guns. so they got Kushner in to give them a modern edge

[Gilby fan]

i think gliby guit because he was bored and as a Fan i think that he wanted to so some solo work of his own so that is want i think
