L.A. Guns
📀 L.A. Guns
#GlamMetal
35 years ago L.A. Guns from Los Angeles, #USA released their self-titled debut studio album.
L.A.Guns had poor commercial response, despite its distinctive rough "street metal" sound and the presence of founder and wonderful guitarist Tracii Guns, one of the crucial figures in the L.A. Glam Metal scene of the time (he actually co-founded with Axl Rose #GunsnRoses, where "Guns" stayed for Tracii and "Roses" for Axl).
This album is the only #LAGuns release to feature drummer Nickey "Beat" Alexander, who was replaced by #SteveRiley soon after recordings and does not even appear in the album back cover (📸 see my album copy in #VeniceRocksRoom☝️)
One of my favorite of that era!
In this album:
#PhilLewis – vocals
#TraciiGuns – lead guitar
#MickCripps – rhythm guitar, keyboards, backing vocals
#KellyNickels – bass, harmonica, whistle, backing vocals
#NickeyAlexander – drums
