Clarke reminisced about the band's glory days with GN'R, as he spent three years on the enormous Use Your Illusion world tour that began in late ‘91.
“(It was) awesome," he tells the East Anglican Times . "I was ready for it when it went down. I was in two bands that hadn’t had that success so I was ready for the big time. It was important to me to be myself and make sure they accept me for who I am and how I played. The tour was awesome; living my dream with a great band, playing great music in front of thousands of fans. Guns was a great time for me as a musician. It was everything I was looking for when I set out. The band had great songs, musicianship and success. I knew it was gonna be hard, but it was worth the effort.”Read the entire interview here.
