Hi guys! Many of the answers have been replied on other Gilby interviews, let's make some fresh questions this time around.

 1. ?Whats the status on your planed next album, it's more guest appearence oriented or there's a cooperative presence of your current touring band and mates?

2. ? Do you hace offers to produce bigger bands now that you are getting worlwide attencion with SuperNova?

3. ? Is this your first experience working with a "supergroup", or the rumors of a band with you, Chris Robinson, Dean n' Robert DeLeo and Steve Gorman were false?

4. ?Any plans to rerlease your Dvd with extra features and a longer songlist than the one your selling on tour?

5. ?Why don't you play more songs from your long catalog (solo albums, candy, Kills for Thrills, Col. Parker) instead of a similar setlist in your shows over the years? ?Are you unsattisfied with that work or you just don't care to play them in shows?

7 ?What do you think of Muddy Dutton as a musician? (for me it's one of the most underrated rock player of the 90's)

8 ?Any plans to tour Southamerica again anytime soon? (Chile this time for God's sake!)

Thanks to everyone for reading!

A hoy hoy Gilby,

Here's few questions for you,

1) Did you ever consider forming a band with Tim Karr? I just love the work you did with him.

2) Is there any truth to the lyrics from Skin n' Bones? In particular,? "I had a little sister who could drink up a storm, If the liquor didn't kill her she'd be twenty-one"?

3) Is your song " The Worst", the worst song you ever heard.?

4) Will you ever do a Solo Canadian tour? Perhaps after the SuperNova tour and album.? I would love to see you play at the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto.


5) If you were to run into Tracci Guns at this moment, you would you shake his hand or smack him in the mouth?

Thanks Gilby, keep rockin ,

Blair

Yep, unfortunately you were.

We picked a few (actually a lot of) questions and Gilby answered them ALL...

I still have the band here, they're leaving today, and Doug Doppler is leaving tomorrow, so I'll probably have the interview ready next weekend.

BTW, you'll love it... 

[Christos AG]

Update.

The interview will be posted tomorrow.
