Original Album: Swag Year of Release: 2002 "This wreckage in my head, is from the trash you left..." begins this beautifully crafted song about unrequited love. But before you're mistaken into thinking otherwise, this is no ballad, with Gilby carefully stripping back the layers of his former lovers insecurities and exposing them as a manipulative and controlling creature who simply used and abused. The simple electric riff pervades throughout and Gilby recounts a story of fighting to maintain the entire affair. At 1.40 we're treated to an incredible solo from Clarke, having bridged the gap between the second and third verse with an infusion of electrical sound. While it's not actually Bob Dylan or Leonard Cohen, it's intelligent music nonetheless, bring the listener full circle and providing a chance to display some skills. Of all Clarke's solo material, it's a track like this which most accurately reflects the work he does outside of his recording, namely his production of other artists such as L.A. Guns and Bullets and Octane who give more this unique tinge of quality then anything produced just prior to his tenure at Guns N' Roses.
