'Rockstar' Gilby Clarke Gets Real

'Rockstar: Supernova,' CBS' summer reality TV series, is less than a week away from its season finale. It's been an interesting ride, guitarist Gilby Clarke tells AOL Music.
"I liked it. Being that it was music-driven, I had a really good time," says the former Guns N' Roses axeman.
According to Clarke, who will help choose a front person from among the finalists -- the Icelandic Magni, South African Dilana, Canadian Lukas Rossi and Aussie Toby Rand -- Wednesday, the experience taught him he's still a left-of-center kind of guy.
" that my opinion is of the minority, that I really am that old punk rocker I started out [as]," he says. "I don't agree with the masses."
He held one such opinion about Storm Large, who was kicked off at the end of Wednesday's broadcast. "I hated seeing Storm go," Clarke sighs. "She's mature. She's her own person. She knows what she's doing and to me, she was a pleasure, a class act."
Another thing he was surprised by? How the voting turned on original frontrunner Dilana. That rocker made her first trip to the bottom three after footage showed her in media classes bad-mouthing her fellow contestants, something judge Dave Navarro grilled her about.
"She wasn't chastised by any band members, if you noticed," Clarke says. "Dave made a comment, like, 'What are you doing?' Did you notice the three of us shut our mouths? Because we've all been there. We've all made mistakes, and to be honest with you, I didn't think it was that big of a mistake."
