Gilby Leaves Rock Star Supernova

2007-04-12 by Dave de Sylvia EMERITUS | 18 Comments
According to ET Canada, guitarist Gilby Clarke has left Rock Star Supernova.

No reason was given for Clarke's departure, although disastrously low album sales- roughly 56,000 units sold in the US, about the same as the total Canadian sales- and poor concert attendence are believed to be at the root.

Also, the fact that they're called Rock Star Supernova, huh?

The group will apparently soldier on regardless. The same outlet quotes Toronto-born frontman Lukas Rossi, stating, "there will be a name change… the best is yet to come!" He added that he is currently working on lyrics for a new album.

Ex-Guns N' Roses guitarist will presumably return to his solo career, while it's still unclear whether bassist Jason Newsted (Voivod, ex-Metallica) will continue with the band. He's currently sidelined with severe shoulder injuries obtained while trying to catch a falling bass amp late last year. He's been replaced on tour by ex-Black Crowe Johnny Colt.

My brain isn't powerful enough to think up a scenario in which a bass amp would need to be caught.

He was playing lacrosse with it.


He was wrapping the crease; the feed came perfectly, but his mind was focused too much on the goal and it nailed him dead-on. Then the slide came and helicoptered him. pwnd.This Message Edited On 04.12.07

I actually watched the show last summer. Still, 56,000 units?

I guess the tv show was all they were after.


I guess the people that watched the show were fans of the bands these guys were in then rather than the band they are in now.

Will the 56000 people who bought the album still be interested in the band if Newstead goes? Who cares! Yay

Tommy Lee should apologize for whatever the fuck he said to Motley Crue and rejoin that band. The same goes to everyone else in Supernova.

(heh, heh. Low concert attendance! I guess by now, everyone is aware of the irony that these guys are called Rock Star Supernova!) :lol:

hahaha I knew this was going to be a flop when I heard about the show starting back like a year ago. Newsted should've stayed with Metallica, it would have atleast been better than this

Yeah, these guys sucked pretty bad, and you could easily tell when wtching the show that tommy was pissed about not getting a female singer in lol.

Still, hope Heaven & Hell fare better than these.
