L.A. Guns

I remember this one soo long ago, I really thought it had to be with GNR, and the artwork was cool, and the record was not much than 4€ today, so i tried it, and found a good record...
The style is dirty rock, as Appetite, so it is clear the guys (Tracii Guns and Phil Lewis) were more or less into the same vein of rock.


Angel mercy, tears like rain
Hurt so good, can't feel no pain
Paint it black, drives me insane
So far gone I'm not the same

You give me one more reason
One more reason to die



And the record had more than one gem One more reason: No mercy, One way ticket, bitch is back, sex action...
A bunch of memorable good rock songs.

8/10 great to have

Hollywood Vampires

Good record that I had somehow forgotten ..
It has 3 outstanding songs: Crystal eyes (I still love you), over the edge and it's over now. Absolutely classics, indispensables ...
The rest of the record is average, dirty Luv, I found you (a mellow ballad), some lie 4 for love, ...
Always lived at Guns n'Roses shadow, never enough ;-) appreciated LA Guns delivered great songs and great melodies in very good records ...
Maybe they did not have the management Guns had, or the publicity ... but they remain a cult band instead of massive
some like it ...
Tracii and Phil teamed nicely producing great songs.

8/10 great to have

Cocked and Loaded

Second record of LA Guns. Interesting? Yes! Indispensable songs: Magdalaine, never enough, wheels of fire and of course, the ballad of Jayne, the first song that made my girlfriend cry ... I specially love the first two, Magdalaine is obsessive and never enough is really catchy ... Not to mention the funny video they made, with girls in black and white from the 50s getting crazy for the band :-)

These songs justify enough a purchase if not too expensive. Also you can expect a half naked girl with a loaded gun... ouch!
Malaria, showdown, 17 crash ... good songs but not as great as the first above mentioned ...

With Hollywood Vampires the matured a bit more, but I guess, they still are a bit sleazy, and as I always say, as long as they make good songs... who cares!!

8/10 interesting to have

the ballad of jayne

this single was cheap, so i bought it because i remember this was the first song made my girlfriend cry...
it is an emotional ballad ... dedicated i think to jayne mansfield.
i have seen the video, but i do not like it as much, but for the song, i think it is not good, it is great.
it belongs to la guns ballads, as crystal eyes and it's over now, which i really like

9/10 brilliant

Humanary Stew

A tribute to Alice Cooper.
Well, that's is what i call a kiLler tribute record. Great rock stars paying homage to one of the greatest rock stars on earth. The dirty diamonds tour concert on which I was there :-) was incredible. Alice did not stop at all during the whole concert, and the theater part was incredible...

So, this is under my wheels by Def Leppard, school's out by Megadeth (please understand me, if i say marty friedman and dave mustaine, i mean megadeth's main part), Ronnie James Dio in welcome to my nightmare (impossible to choose a better song), black widow (Iron Maiden, in which bruce gives the intro the atmospherical way), and also we can mention Paul Gilbert, Glenn Hughes, Dokken, LA guns, Dee Snider, Zakk Wilde, Slash, Duff ... and in the rhythm guitar Bob Kulick -one of the mastermind behind this project- ... So if this is not a killer record filled up with stars, what is it?

10/10 shining
