L.A Guns

[Rob]

Actually Steve Riley didn't drum on the first L.A. Guns album.  If you'll look at the liner notes, it lists Steve as the drummer of the band, but it also says "all drum tracks played by Nickey Alexander" right below where it lists the band.  Wow, I'm a real loser for knowing that.

[Sakib]

they fucking rock. i dont own their albums, ive only hurd the songs on 80srockstars.net

i love i wanna be your man and Showdown (Riot on Sunset)

So that means there isn't one member of the LA Guns who played on every album.

[Rob]

Nope, not one member.

[RichardNixon]

I bet Tracii has some demos w/Axl Rose. Either pre-Slash GN'R or very early LA guns. I'd love to hear them.

[dr_loaded]

has anyone picked up this album yet? if so i'd like to hear what guns n roses fans make of the new album.

you can hear 2 tracks on www.myspace.com/lagunsnet

the first track "it dont mean nothin" has a velvet revolver feel to it like do it for the kids.

[Saul]

Moved in 10 , 9 , 8 , 7 , 6 , 5 ...

[Rob]

Yeah, this album is awesome.  Its not quite as good as Waking The Dead, but still some of L.A. Guns best work.  They can definitely still get it done without Tracii.

Guitarist Tracii Guns has reunited THE ORIGINAL L.A. GUNS with the following lineup: Paul Black - vocals, Tracii Guns - guitar, Nickey Alexander - drums, Mick Cripps - guitar and Kelly Nickels - bass. The band are set to hit the road next year. The following dates, minus venues, have already been leaked: January 25 - Las Vegas 26 - San Diego 27 - Los Angeles 28 - San Francisco. February 1 - Portland 2 - Seattle 4 - Tahoe 5 - Reno. Apparently The Original L.A. Guns will not interfere with Tracii Guns' commitments to BRIDES OF DESTRUCTION.

Wait, so will there be two LA Guns? ?The LA Guns? and ?The original LA Guns.?? How spinal tap is that? That?s like RATT and Stephan Pearcy?s RATT.

Btw, the new Brides of Destruction CD sucks.

Didn't realise it was out....and without Nikki Sixx its not much of a surprise

No hooks, sounds forced. Tracii is better than that. The new LA Guns CD (without Tracii) is pretty good.

Well i know it was coming out in Japan early so i am not sure about it being out worldwide, i downloaded a copy the other week though and unfortunately Nixon's spot on....it sucks! Very bland!

[Izzy]

Oh dear - wonder what went wrong, i guess Tracii got distracted. Now he's with LA guns again.....a connection? Maybe he's leaving a sinking ship

He said this L.A. Guns thing was only 'temporary' and would NOT interfere with his Brides of Destruction commitments, i would still go and see them live, due to the strong first record, L.A. Guns tracks that will get thrown in there and the fact they should still be a good live act and most probably and a cheap one playing small venues which is just the way i like it.  Anyway i have slagged off many an album considered 'Decent'....it might be a success...you might like it the single White Trash ain't bad and Never Say Never is fait decent.  This album seems to showcase London Le Grande's vocal frailties more, i remember when i saw them live it was damn good but he was the weak link, he had the look and attitude but lacks the range...

I'll give them album a few more listens then write a proper review in The Brides thread so you have a more detailed idea of what it's like..

[Rob]

Tracii Guns is a fuckin' loser.  If he wants to be back in L.A. Guns he should just go back with Phil.  I refuse to recognize this Original L.A. Guns.  Phil's L.A. Guns is the true L.A. Guns in my eyes.  That Paul Black dude sucks anyway.

[RichardNixon]

A new CD just came out titled "Paul Black's LA Guns...Blacklisted." It's a bunch of demos from the late 80s. Cool picture of Paul and Axl in the booklet. Would love to hear those LA Guns w/Axl demos.

[Sparksry]

LA guns is a kilar band in my opinion my fav song is electric gypsy . I listened to them all the way to North carolina once and they rocked to bad i got sick of them after a bit

[Rob]

Yeah, hearing Axl with L.A. Guns would be pretty cool.  I've heard a Paul Black Guns song and it really wasn't too good.
