4 stars Back to Hollywood
One of the best CDs by an 80s metal band this decade. These songs feel like they came right out of the Sunset Strip days of the 80s. "Vampire" is an instant classic. Way to go LA Guns for putting out music your fans really want to hear, instead of trying to sound like something you're not.

3 stars Still Going At It
L.A. Guns appear to still be going strong after all these years, even after losing Tracii Guns. Though this is not the Guns best album, it certainly isn't the worst. In fact, this may be their best album since 'Hollywood Vampires.' L.A. Guns in 2005 seem to have injected a little punk into their sound, as well as maybe a little Velvet Revolver. Though there is some filler on this album, mostly the instrumentals, at least 9 out of 14 songs hit the nail squarely on the head. If you havn't listened to L.A. Guns in a while and want to relive those days when all you used to think of was booze and chicks, then pick this up.

L A Guns Waking The Dead CD (2002)

Tales From The Strip

$11.59

Founding members of L.A. Guns, Tracii Guns and vocalist Phil Lewis have concocted a solid outing with producer Andy Johns on Waking the Dead, the follow-up to the band's 2001 debut for Spitfire Records, Man in the Moon. More than just a commendable effort by L.A. Guns, the work of Andy Johns is not to be overlooked. In the '70s it was producer/engineer brother Glyn Johns who had the higher profile, and when Andy did produce, as with '80s metal band Cinderella, it came off -- much like the work of another engineer/producer, Ron Nevison -- as homogenized black-and-white musical photographs for the ear. Waking the Dead is a triumph for Andy Johns as much as it is for L.A. Guns, and the fabulous and hooky "City of Angels" has all the elements a driving pop song needs -- throbbing bass, precision drums, singing guitars, and great vocals with catchy phrasings. It's one of those songs you absolutely have to turn up when it comes on. The CD opens in no-nonsense fashion with "Don't Look at Me That Way," the same theme as the tune by Nervus Rex from the '70s, but much ...

L A Guns Hollywood Raw: The Original Sessions CDs (2004)

Tales From The Strip

$12.69

Includes tracks recorded prior to L.A. Guns's 1988 debut album. Before there was L.A. Guns there was Guns N' Roses. Or if you are more inclined to believe the liner notes, it's the other way around. No matter how the fable gets framed, somewhere in time (specifically Los Angeles in the mid-'80s), Hollywood rockers Axl Rose and Tracii Guns split to form their own respective groups. Hollywood Raw features the post-Axl L.A. Guns demo sessions when they were trying to make the leap from Troubadour mainstays to major-label stardom. And that's exactly what these tracks are to the core: demos in all of their unapologetic rawness and glory, which also makes the listening unbearable at points. To its credit, Hollywood Raw also brings forth a degree of honesty, an ugliness that most bands of this ilk ...

Stryper Reborn CD (2005) Enhanced CD

Tales From The Strip

$11.39

With their first album of all-original material since 1990's AGAINST THE LAW, Christian heavy metal band Stryper do more than drum up their glory days on 2005's REBORN. The intervening 15 years did little to diminish Stryper's attack: the band still thunders with both glitz and muscle, and lead singer Michael Sweet sounds as sharp as ever. Likewise, Stryper's commitment to their faith hasn't wavered an iota, as the messages on ...

L A Guns Black List CD (2005)

Tales From The Strip

$12.39

Here's a little-known glam-metal fact: Phil Lewis was not the first frontman for Sunset Strip favorites L.A. Guns. There were actually a few others who fronted the band before Lewis (Axl Rose was rumored to be an early member), one of whom was a gentleman named Paul Black. The Black-led version of L.A. Guns (which also included Tracii Guns and Mick Cripps, two members who would later appear on the group's recordings with Lewis) managed to demo quite a bit of material during their short tenure together, which serves as the basis for 2005's Black List. As expected, these '80s-era demos are not exactly up to snuff sonically with the eventual studio albums by the group, but for hardcore fans, there are a few areas of interest. Tops on the list would be early versions of a pair of tracks that would later turn up on the group's self-titled 1988 debut, "Show No Mercy" and "One More Reason to Die," while the rest ...

Quiet Riot Rehab CD (2006)

It's become increasingly difficult to keep track of all the different lineup switches that have occurred in Quiet Riot over the years, with the speed of guitarists and bassists coming and going only increasing by the early 21st century. As of their 2006 release, Rehab, the most familiar bandmembers include singer Kevin DuBrow and drummer Frankie Banali, who are now joined by guitarist Neil Citron and bassist Tony Franklin. Despite the constant lineup fluctuation, the ...
