Which Guns N' Roses studio album is the only one to feature rhythm guitarist Gilby Clarke?

The Spaghetti Incident? is the only Guns N' Roses studio album to feature rhythm guitarist Gilby Clarke. Clarke joined the touring lineup in 1991 after Izzy Stradlin left during the Use Your Illusion Tour, then contributed to the band's 1993 collection of cover songs.

The album is built around Guns N' Roses interpretations of punk, glam-rock, and hard-rock songs. Its track list includes material associated with the New York Dolls, The Stooges, the Sex Pistols, Nazareth, and the Misfits, showing the influences that shaped the band's early sound.

Clarke's presence can be confusing because some material had been recorded or developed before he joined. Stradlin was still involved with certain earlier parts, and the album's credits and session history are less straightforward than a conventional new studio record. Clarke nevertheless is the rhythm guitarist identified with the album's 1993 lineup.

The Spaghetti Incident? was released on November 23, 1993, and became the final Guns N' Roses studio album to feature Slash, Duff McKagan, and Matt Sorum before their later departures. Clarke left the band in 1994, making this a brief but distinctive chapter in its history.
