This isn't the tired glam sound that everyone knows from those boring bands in the scene. I like the ballad "One Way Ticket", it's not at all like that cheesy pop thing. "Bitch Is Back" captivates me with some amazing guitar work too, as does the last track "Down in the city", whose opening guitar riff caught my attention. The whole album is fire. Shoot for Thrills is the only "not so good" track. They know how to make a catchy chorus too. The first one "Show No Mercy" is kind of sticky as hell.
Electric Gypsy also has a great chorus. The album is amazing.

Tracii Guns에게는 분통터지는 일이었지만, Guns N' Roses와 L.A. Guns 사이에는 시작부터 도저히 메울 수 없을 정도의 간극이 생겨버렸다. Guns N' Roses가 발표한 데뷔 앨범 Appetite for Destruction으로 이미 두 밴드의 승부는 판가름난 거나 마찬가지였다. 이 앨범 한 장으로 Guns N' Roses는 80년대를 뛰어넘어... Read More

80년대를 대표하는 위대한 록 밴드 Guns N' Roses는 Tracii Guns가 이끌고 있던 L.A. Guns와 Axl Rose의 Hollywood Rose의 결합에서 탄생한 밴드였다. 그러나 이 결합은 오래지 않아 파국을 맞이했다. 각각의 밴드의 리더였던 Tracii Guns와 Axl Rose 같이 자기 주장이 강했던 인물들이 한 우리 안에 있게되면 감정... Read More

발매가 1991년 6월이니 얼터광풍이 몰아치기 몇 달전.. L.A. 건즈의 3집이 나왔다. 유튜브로는 풀앨범을 들을 수 없고 12곡으로 쪼개놓은 상태, 이 3집은 제대로 들어보는건 30년이 휠씬 지난 23년 12월이다;; 내 콜렉팅 주종목 쟝르가 스래쉬/데스 메탈, 잠시 몇 달 쉬면서 그동안 봐왔던 팝이나... Read More

L.A Guns 라는 이름에서 건즈앤로지스의 아류 밴드나 이들중 한명이 빠져나와서 만든 평범한 밴드로 알고 있다가 이 음반을 구하고는 정신을 싹 고쳐먹고 "멤버가 대체 누구지?"라고 생각하며 찾아보았던 기억이 난다. 아이러니하게도 건즈앤로지즈는 트레이시 건즈와 액슬로즈가 결성하며... Read More

1985년 Tracii Guns와 Axl Rose가 서로의 밴드를 합치는게 낫다고 판단하여, 그 결과 80년대를 풍미한 전설적인 밴드 Guns N' Roses가 탄생했다. 물론 이 밴드를 결성할 당시만해도 당사자들은 스스로가 그렇게 거대한 존재가 될 것이라고 생각하지는 못했을 것이다. 하지만, 밴드 합병후 오래지 않아... Read More

My most played album # 57. L.A. Guns - Hollywood Vampires! The first 3 L.A. Guns albums were colossal! They had so many songs on the radio the radio did not know what to play. Every song on this album rocks! Grunge was taking over in 1991 so 10 great songs was a problem, what to play in a shrinking market. 1991 was an amazing year for hard-rock, tons of new bands, tons of the b... Read More
