Gilby Clarke, the legendary guitarist best known for his time with Guns N' Roses during their peak years, brings his rock and roll swagger to Backstage Bar & Billiards. Clarke's guitar work on "The Spaghetti Incident?" and his live performances during the band's massive Use Your Illusion tours made him a fixture in rock history, and his solo career has continued to showcase his bluesy, hard-hitting style. Beyond his GN'R legacy, he's collaborated with everyone from Nancy Sinatra to Heart, maintaining a steady presence in the rock scene for decades.
At Backstage Bar & Billiards, you're looking at an intimate setting where the downtown Las Vegas rock venue's gritty atmosphere pairs perfectly with Clarke's raw guitar sound. This isn't an arena show – it's the kind of up-close performance where you can actually see the fingerwork and feel the energy bouncing off the walls. The venue's rock 'n' roll credentials and billiards setup create that authentic dive bar vibe that suits a guitarist who's always been more about the music than the spectacle.
Expect a setlist that likely pulls from Clarke's solo catalog as well as some well-chosen covers and possibly a few familiar riffs from his storied past. The Fremont East location means you're in the heart of downtown's grittier entertainment district, where the focus is on the music rather than the glitz.
