L A Guns Loud & Dangerous - Live From Hollywood CD

 no bad, not great
This CD got so much hype for being so awesome, and honestly it's only okay. i give it up that Stacey Blades is a great player and he and Adam did a fine fine fine job of replacing the replacments but you can tell that overdubs have been added (like the second guitar on songs that Phil doesn't play on). and the fact that they edited the "F" words out of "nothing better to do" is just stupid, leave the song alone or leave it off the album. it's a standard live album, but I personally think that "a night on the strip" was better - it had its faults too but sounded less "produced"

 not bad
This live release with Blades on guitar isn't bad but it could have been better. Two of the best live tracks from the show were left off the main part of the cd and are only available for listening/viewing if you play the cd on your computer. The bonus tracks are cool but I think this release would have much better served if these two tracks (Hollywoods Burning and It Don't Mean Nothing) were actually on the cd as a part of the show rather than being used as computer bonus tracks. I love the old L.A. Guns but the new Guns have some very strong material and I would have liked to have heard more of it here. As for Hamilton and especially Blades, I think they have given this band new life in my opnion. However, one of them (I think it's Blades but I'm not sure) f'd up Nothing Better To Do big time on this cd. I know that sometimes rock n' roll sounds better when it's a little sloppy but that song sounded like it wasn't even rehearsed or someone just didn't give a damn. Like I said before, this could have been better. Also, I could be wrong here (I'm not) but in between tracks it sounds like the band mixed in loops of crowd noise.

 Another Bite From Hollywood Vampires
AWESOME! GUNS are great friends of mine. Phil & I go way back to 1990. His old music is like FINE WINE & new music keeps gettin better. With that said this CD is a MUST! If you never saw them live, PEEP'm OUT next time LA Guns is near you. AWESOME Show!

 Amazing Live CD!!!
LA Guns remains one of the best and most underrated bands to come out of LA in the 80s. They are really at the top of their game with this amazing CD. It is incredible how they actually got better after Tracii Guns' departure.
