Guitar icon Gilby Clarke has officially joined the Golden Robot Records family. The former Guns N’ Roses/Slash’s Snakepit guitarist has signed a Global record deal with the company as the Golden Robot Entertainment Group and President Mark Alexander-Erber, has expressed his excitement:

“I couldn’t be happier to sign such an incredible artist like Gilby Clarke to our GRR international roster. He is totally authentic through and through. He brings such a wealth of experience to his songwriting, playing and producing and I know the world is ready for his new solo album which is a long time coming. It is an honour to release this record.”

Clarke added:

“I am so happy to be a part of the Golden Robot family for my new solo record. I use the word family because I feel like I found a home. We share the same passion for Rock n Roll! Rock N Roll is alive n’ well & together we will turn it up loud!”

Clarke is currently working on a new solo effort, which is scheduled to arrive at some point during the first half of this year. The record is promised to deliver a handful of fist-pumping tracks as well as his trademark guitar solos. Drummers Kenny Aronoff (John Mellencamp Chickenfoot), and Stephen Perkins (Jane’s Addiction, Porno For Pyro, Infectious Grooves) will be featured on the record.

In the meantime, Gilby recently did an interview with Gibson Guitars at this year’s NAMM as he discussed a few details on his upcoming LP.
