Anyways KEEP ROCKIN' The WHOLE WORLD LA GUNS!!! Gïss420
What would a band with five Johnny Thunders look like? The answer is L.A Guns in 1988. This video is an exemplary example of a raw, raucous hard rock band performing live, warts and all. I've recently been listening to the RU-vid channel "Before I Forget," authored by the dude who was L.A. Guns road manager at this time. It's incredibly insightful regarding what was going on behind the scenes at the time this video was filmed. This was an opening show for AC/DC. Random thoughts: I'm surprised to see both Tracci and Mick playing Ibanez RG guitars. Notice that the 2nd RG Tracii brings out (white with black pickguard) has the middle and neck pickups removed. It seems like he has some tuning issues going into "Electric Gypsy." I remember being shocked a couple years later when Tracii apparently cut his hair. I now realize that what he really did was take out his hair extensions. Bottom line: Great rock and roll band. The songs stand the test of time. They were a force live on stage at this time.
Nothing against the IBBY RG. I've got a MIJ 570 and it's a killer instrument. In the 80s the more overtly metal and technical players tended to gravitate towards Ibanez. I'm talking guys like Satriani, Via, Scholnick, Harry Cody. Meanwhile, bands that were more traditional rock 'n' roll tended to play LPs, Strats, Teles, even Gretsch. Good examples would be Tom Keifer, Billy Duffy, Slash & Izzy. What I mean by being surprised at the guys in L.A. Guns playing "pointy guitars" is that I'd expect them to be in this latter group. Guns is such a pure rock 'n' roll band. . @@billydeewilliams9104
This deserves to be remastered on dvd. The hollywood years dvd is cool but i would love to see it remastered on dvd. This is raw L.A Guns in their prime.
I saw them when they opened for def leppard in st louis 1988 and they are one of the most underrated bands of all time just saw them in st Charles mo and they fucking sounded better than ever
Wow. Just wow. They really just weren’t very good were they. I guess that’s why they never got huge. I think the problem is is that they were their own biggest fans. They thought they were way better than anybody else did. There’s just nothing there. It’s all empty bombast. I own the original LP which I bought when it came out. Back then I thought it was pretty good. Wasn’t amazing , but pretty good. Now seeing them play that album live…. Wow, live they are just terrible.
Wonder what the boys in AC/DC thought of these cats. They were pretty far apart from them in the long run. I had similar thoughts when I saw White Lion open for AC/DC on the Blow Up Your Video tour.
shoot for thrills when i get crazy and no one say o wrong word or i punched him under the earth,def my only song i get real agressive and overhyped😅🤘🏴☠️
