L.A. Guns biography

L.A. Guns was formed in 1983 by guitar player Tracii Guns and, then unknown singer, Axl Rose on lead vocals.

The team of Guns and, former Girl singer, Phil Lewis have sold 6 1/2 million records, including 1988's L.A. Guns and 1990's Cocked and Loaded, both of which were certified Gold. Cocked and Loaded contained the hit single "Ballad of Jayne" that went to #33 on Billboard's Hot 100 and #25 on the Mainstream Rock charts.

From the mid-'90s to the mid-2000s, the L.A. Guns continued to tour and release new music. Following their successful performance at SiriusXM's Hair Nation Festival in May of 2016, L.A. Guns went into the studio to record the album, The Missing Peace, which was released in October of 2017 and quickly became the highest selling release of 2017 for Frontiers Records. L.A. Guns are currently in the studio recording the follow up album to " The Missing Peace ". “The Devil You Know” is the band’s twelfth studio release, featuring the new singles “Stay Away” and “Rage”. They will begin touring for the album beginning in the spring of 2019.

The current lineup features founding member, and lead guitar player, Guns, who has reunited with Lewis on vocals, along with Shane Fitzgibbon on drums, Johnny Martin on bass and Ace Von Johnson on guitar.

Live reviews

L.A Guns have always been known as one of Los Angeles’ best supergroups ever formed. They formed in 1983, put together by Tracii Guns. It almost seems like a rite of passage for some of rock and rolls biggest names to at one point be a member of this band, alumni includes, Axl Rose, Izzy Stradlin, Duff McKagen, Slash. (Basically all of Guns N’ Roses). Even Nikki Sixx has been in this band! This band has also had 14 studio albums, 6 live albums, 5 EPs and 4 singles. They take to this huge stage tonight to perform some of their biggest songs over the years. Opening with “It’s Over Now”, the band walk out on stage, with guitars over their shoulders and egos on their sleeves, taking their places as though it’s the way nature intended. There is some epic music played before hand to roil up the audience. “Kiss My Love Goodbye” is a worthy mid set peak that keeps this audience of all ages extremely excited; “The Ballad of Jayne” is the song that closes the set in a great style.
