Sosso Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 (edited) The L.A. Guns album "Hollywood Vampires" was released 27 years ago today. The album included songs like "Over the Edge", "Crystal Eyes" and "It's Over Now" and featured Tracii Guns and Mick Cripps on guitar, Phil Lewis on vocals, Kelly Nickels on bass guitar and Steve Riley on drums.

Sosso Posted June 25, 2018 Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 (edited) Hollywood Vampires is actually my favourite album from L.A. Guns and the album was definitely on top with the harder songs on UYI Edited June 25, 2018 by Sosso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The circle of life I guess Agreed! I love that guitar solo. I love the production of that album. It's like a mixture of classical and experimental elements. Just like a certain double album that was released in the same year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never knew they got in to those elements. Its cool! Wish that era of rock had been able to develop further 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombux Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 I must say I never cared about L.A. Guns, considered it pretty much unsuccessful hair metal band that was blown out of the music radar in early 90's. but I gave that Youtube link above a chance and I was quite surprised by that, I liked it thanks for making me discover another "new" band, albeit after 27 years 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albums like "Hollywood Vampires" are a proof for that. Edited July 2, 2018 by Sosso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guns are older than GNR funny how it was formed in 1983 by two later founding members of GNR Tracii Guns and Rob Gardner, and their first bassist was Ole Beich of the same later fame and even more funny is that the debut EP "Collector's Edition No. 1" was recorded with a band that was 3/4 of later GNR (only the singer was different, and even he was briefly replaced by Axl Rose at some point after the EP was recorded - so during Axl's brief stint in L.A. Guns, he effectively was together with the whole founding lineup of future GNR, only without Izzy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombux Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 LOL, fuck me. this album is really good. nothing really groundbreaking, even in 1991 it's absolutely 1980-ish. but I really like it. of course AFD was miles ahead of this, not even talking about UYI, Nevermind, Core and other 90's stuff, but still this is so atmospheric. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
