Guns tiene su inicio en el Sunset Strip de Los Angeles hace más de 15 años. Reviewed by James for Sleaze Roxx, June 2004.L.A. God bless old school metal! I give the album 4 gunshots – take away “Hurdy Gurdy Man” and you’ve got 5! Yes, the man can play – but the Guns march, or shoot, onward. I’ve read reviews on boards saying the Guns are dead because Tracii left. Phil Lewis create something special here. Great guitar work by Stacey Blades and the incredibly talented drums of Steve Riley along with the bombastic bass of Adam Hamilton and the big voice of everyone’s favorite vampire, Mr. The songs are “Revolution” and “Don’t Look At Me That Way.” A nice bonus! It is not recorded as professionally as the tracks off Ultimate L.A. That album is incredible, these covers are okay. The album closes out with two live cuts of songs from Waking The Dead, the studio released Guns record of 2002. “Search And Destroy” by Iggy Pop is the final cover on the record.

And, if I view it as chicken droppings, it cannot become chicken salad. “Marseilles” is quite good! “Hurdy Gurdy Man”, however, is not my style at all! Phil really puts effort into it and it sounds okay but as I said before, it’s not my style. “Marseilles” by Angel City and “Hurdy Gurdy Man” by Donovan follow. The boys sound good but you can’t make chicken salad out of chicken droppings. That said, I’m not overly crazy of the song. I’m not a big fan but I do have respect for the road he paved. Bowie was one of the original kings of Glam. “Moonage Daydream” by David Bowie is up next. It’s cool to see the Guns paying tribute to them. Those guys inspired so much of the metal scene for years to come. Anyone who likes Led Zeppelin should check this one out.

But, I would like to live in a world free of rap, boy bands, and annoying pop divas being used to save a fading career. Basing the review of this song on Aerosmith before selling out, it’s cool. As Phil would say, “Very nice! Very lovely!” Hanoi Rocks is another band that never got the respect they deserved. “Until I Get You” by Hanoi Rocks is next. Warrant did this on their cover record a few years back – Guns have a bit of a different take on it. I wonder how Tracii feels being replaced with someone who can come close to filling his shoes? Maybe he’ll write a poorly produced punk song about it for the next Brides flop. Stacey Blades, the new guitarist, sounds fantastic here. This, for my money, is the best song on the record. Second is “I Just Want To Make Love”, a Foghat cover. This also translates well live as they performed this and the next cut live a few weeks ago when I caught the guys in Arizona. First, the production sounds great, as does the band – this is very Hollywood Vampires quality. The album opens up with “Rock And Roll Outlaw” originally performed by Rose Tattoo. But, the remaining Guns have continued shooting away and I think a few of these shots hit the target nicely. Guns to look for a “better gig” and now finds himself with Nikki from Motley Crue in Brides Of Destruction. And, I’m not ignoring them!Īfter their last two new studio albums blowing me away, I was sad to hear Tracii left L.A. Why? Bad promotion? Not shaking the right hands? Who knows? The bottom line is this is a band that should not be ignored. Guns is a band that is as raw as Guns N’Roses and as pop metal as Poison yet never seemed to enjoy the depth of success those two bands enjoyed. Steve Riley – drums, percussion and vocals Phil Lewis – vocals, guitar and harmonica
