Former Guns Nâ Roses guitarist Gilby Clarke joined Buenos Aires-based hard rock band Airbag for a special performance of Bob Dylanâs classic song âKnockinâ On Heavenâs Doorâ.
The impromptu show took place at Velez Sarsfield in Argentina, where Clarke celebrated Dylanâs 85th birthday with the band.
A video of the performance is available to watch.
Airbag consists of Patricio (lead guitar, keyboards, vocals), Gaston (bass, vocals), and Guido (drums, vocals) â all brothers who formed the group in 1999.
They have since released eight studio albums and two live albums.
Clarkeâs current solo tour of South America is wrapping up soon.
He recently appeared on local radio station Urbana Play 104.3 FM in Buenos Aires, discussing his time with Guns Nâ Roses, including a memorable encounter with David Bowie at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert in 1992.
âIt was one of the best days of my life,â Clarke recalled about meeting Mick Ronson.
âMick is someone I idolized, so having a really nerdy chat about guitars was incredible⊠Sometimes youâre afraid to meet your idols, but when something is important in your life, you have to take the risk and go for it.â After returning to the United States, Clarke will join Billy F Gibbons and other notable musicians in Kings Of Chaos on June 6 at 4 Bears Casino & Resort in New Town, ND.
