LA Guns for Rock4Life

LA Guns of Hollywood, United States, was formed in 1983. The music of LA Guns is frequently associated with the LA glam metal scene which grew up around the Sunset Strip in the 1980s, in particular the Sleaze Glam/Sleaze Rock subgenre, of which Guns N’ Roses (who featured at least three, some sources claim all four, of the original LA Guns members) was the most prominent exponent, generally preferring an anti-social, white trash image to elaborate make-up and costumes.

The music and image of LA Guns is often referred to as “sleaze,” the group dressed in all black with cowboy boots.

The band released the album Tales from the Strip in August 2005, which was met with critical acclaim from both sides of the Atlantic, hailed as the best LA Guns album in years.

It is the only LA Guns album not to feature Tracii Guns (with the exception of the Japan-only live album).

In 2005 a remastered set of demos, which were recorded around the time LA Guns wrote their first album (before Phil Lewis joined) was released, featuring Paul Black on vocals. Soon after this, as the Brides of Destruction’s second album did not maintain the success of the first, Tracii Guns focused his attention on put together a “solo” band.

Tracii Guns Band features former LA Guns members, Paul Black, Nickey “Beat” Alexander, and Tracii Guns, as well as Tracii’s son Jeremy Guns. Some fans have argued that the Tracii Guns Band is the “true” LA Guns as it features more original members and the man who wrote the bands first album; Paul Black.

The day-long rock festival will commence at midday and proceed until 2 am. Vixen Scorpions and 15 local rock band will perform at the event.
