Guitarist/vocalist GILBY CLARKE (ex-GUNS N’ ROSES) recently spoke with Greg Prato for Songfacts.com. An excerpt from the interview is available below:

Songfacts: What do you remember about G N’ R’s recording of ‘Sympathy For The Devil’? I remember hearing somewhere that band members said they could sense that that was the ending for the band. Did you have a sense that that was either the ending or the beginning of the end for the band right there?

Gilby: “I might say yes and no on that. I wasn’t that involved with the ‘Sympathy For The Devil’ recording – they did that while I was on the road touring for my solo record. I knew that that was the ending because nobody told me about it. Officially I was in the band at that time, and they did that song without me. That was one of the last straws for me, because nobody had said anything to me and they recorded a song by one of my favorite bands. It was pretty clear I’m a big ROLLING STONES fan, and they recorded the song without me. So I knew that was it.

My official end was actually at the last show of the last tour. Axl was jokingly saying ‘Bye’ to everybody, but he was really saying ‘Bye’ to everybody. He even came up to me and said, ‘Hey, enjoy your last show.’ At that point I thought he was being funny, but he wasn’t being funny. He knows what he’s doing. He’s a smart guy. So I knew it was the end at the last show.”

MATT SORUM, JOE ELLIOTT, GLENN HUGHES, SEBASTIAN BACH Call For End To Bear Bile Farming In Asia

Joe Elliott (DEF LEPPARD), Glenn Hughes (DEEP PURPLE, BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION), Duff McKagan (GUNS N’ ROSES, VELVET REVOLVER), Matt Sorum (GUNS N’ ROSES, VELVET REVOLVER), Gilby Clarke (GUNS N’ ROSES), Steve Stevens (BILLY IDOL) and Sebastian Bach (SKID ROW) have called for an end to bear bile farming in Asia in a new video produced for Animals Asia.

Bear bile farming sees more than 10,000 bears — mainly moon bears — kept on bile farms in China, and around 2,400 in Vietnam. The bears are milked regularly for their bile, which is used in traditional medicine.

The video below was put together for the charity by Matt Sorum, who was moved to action on finding out about Animals Asia just a few weeks ago.

Animals Asia has named Matt as their newest Ambassador for the United States.

Matt commented: “Watching the Animals Asia movies was a shock and an education for me. I previously had no idea of the issue but felt compelled to do anything I could to help. I was inspired further when I met [Animals Asia founder] Jill [Robinson], and when she later asked me to be the U.S. Ambassador for Animals Asia, I was honored to accept. This is all about those of us in the west standing up, alongside those who inspire positive change in China. We must continue to grow the number of voices in opposition to this cruel, horrific industry.”
