Gilby Clarke has been around the block - more than once. The guitarist has suited up for Guns N' Roses, Slash's Snakepit, Nancy Sinatra and Heart, not to mention produced albums by L.A. Guns, Bullets and Octane, The Bronx and Vains of Jenna. Basically, Clarke has seen about all there is to see in rock and roll (or, at least all there was to see in rock and roll during the decadent '80s and early '90s). Friday, he'll get a chance to gander at the inside of the Backstage Bar & Grill in Tacoma - a bar with a massive stage and a strip mall parking lot, quickly becoming the go-to destination for the stars of yesteryear touring through Tacoma.
