Before joining the&nbsp;<strong>Guns N\u2019 Roses<\/strong>&nbsp;circus, Gilby was&nbsp;<strong>Kim Fowley\u2019s<\/strong>&nbsp;go-to session guitarist and ghost writer. After playing with Hollywood bands&nbsp;<strong>Candy&nbsp;<\/strong>and&nbsp;<strong>Kill For Thrills<\/strong>&nbsp;a late-night call from Slash changed everything. Gilby joined Guns in \u201991.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He appeared on the band\u2019s&nbsp;<strong><em>Spaghetti Incident, Live Era \u201988-\u201991<\/em><\/strong>and&nbsp;<strong><em>The Greatest Hits<\/em><\/strong>albums.
