That is, until the insidious ooze of grunge shifted musical predilections and the Guns' guys' world waned.
#L.a. guns over the edge series
The band from the Sunset Strip are renowned for having spawned the most successful and notorious rock'n'roll band of recent times in Guns N' Roses, but has its own colourful post-Axl history.įollowing a series of line-up changes, it was the arrival of Britt-ish squire and big Girl's bellower Phil Lewis in 1987 that provided the catalyst for our Trace's band to achieve increasing commercial success with 'Cocked n Loaded' and 'Hollywood Vampires' being particular highlights. This was as high octane, membrane-shredding, aurally delicious and visually mesmeric as a rock'n'roll gig can be. It's remarkable that following years of hiatus, ill-will and stasis, the talismanic twins, mercurial six-slinger Guns and charismatic mouth-piece Lewis, agreed to reunite under the awkward, legally bland name of 'LA Guns' Phil Lewis And Tracii Guns' with the London show one week short of the 30th anniversary of their first meeting on April Fools' Day.įrom the very first drum beat to the very last power-chord, it was clear that there was to be no f-f-fooling about.
