On the new episode of Talking Metal, Mark Strigl speaks with former Guns N' Roses guitarist Gilby Clarke and Helstar vocalist James Rivera. Topics with Gilby include his new album The Gospel Truth, Nikki Sixx, his recording studio, Rockstar Supernova, and much more.

Tune in here.

Gilby Clarke has released his first new solo album in nearly two decades via Golden Robot Records. The Gospel Truth is full of fist-pumping rock ‘n’ roll songs with fat choruses, bluesy licks and his trademark solos. It’s classic rock, a new version of what Gilby likes to do and that’s… loud guitars!

The album features legendary Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx, as well as drumming from John Mellencamp, Chickenfoot sticksman Kenny Aronoff and Stephen Perkins from Jane’s Addiction, Porno For Pyros, and Infectious Grooves.

The Gospel Truth is available on CD and at all digital platforms. The album has already spawned three killer singles in "Rock n’ Roll Is Getting Louder" (a pure rock n’ roll track doused with the influences that run through Gilby’s veins), "Tightwad" (featuring Mötley Crüe’s Nikki Sixx) and the title track, a song about the concept of truth today.
