SWAG
I'm not sure of the reasons, but this disc was supposed to be released on October 9th, 2001 along with Gilby's entire back catalog on Spitfire Records, his new home. If I had to guess, I'd say the delay had everything to do with the Sept. 11th attacks, and the general state of the country at the time (ie; not a great time to release a new disc).
Swag features much more refined songwriting from the Ex-GUNS 'N' ROSES axeman, who claims he only wrote 12 songs to be recorded for this eleven-song release...not the norm considering most songwriters head into the studio with 30 or 40, hoping that 10 or 12 will be good enough to release on a disc.
Guest stars on this disc are Eric Singer, sometimes-drummer for KISS on drums, along with Brent Fitz and Brian Tichy. Guest guitarist on "Alien" is none other than Tracii Guns.
