It's all become a bit Spinal Tap by this point, hasn't it? Rolling Eyes

Tracii is working on a concept album. 'Saucy Jack' I believe it was called.

Tracii's version of LA Guns is irrelevant and has been for several years now. Phils' version, however, still records some GREAT music!

She's throwing a tantrum apparently about how much the band, Tracii & tour sucks and now she's moving on to an awesome book deal and solo project.

Maybe a reunion with Phil Lewis could punch this all the way up to 3 or 4. Maybe.

I do. I don't care about that acoustic album that just came out but if he can finally get a new studio album out, I'd buy it.

I think Tracii is a good guy when it comes down to it, but maybe a bit delusional about how big L.A. Guns (and his version in particular) is. He's still a great guitarist/songwriter, IMO. He's said himself that it makes more sense for he & Phil to put their differences aside and tour as ONE band again but of course he puts the blame all on Phil as to why it hasn't happened yet. Razz

As long as he doesn't do another POS like "American Hardcore" I'll still give whatever he does at least a listen.

That album is a hundred times better than his solo album, Killing Machine.

Wow, that thing must really be a reeking turd then.

Too bad Phil Lewis can't be replaced... Tracii needs to crawl back or call it a day.

Not sure I ever listened to it twice. American Hardcore, on the other hand, I dig. Or don't dislike, at least. It's definitely a 90s kind of album.

Have any of you ever heard Phil Lewis' solo album More Purple Than Black? What a snoozefest that was. Boooorrrring!

Phil and Tracii need each other, no doubt about it. Either guys solo is a waste of time.

I liked that one for what it was.

"There can only be one"...

Quote :: Tracii Guns has retired his version of LA Guns in favour of his new band, League of Gentleman, so he can keep making music with a clear conscience.

Two lineups had been using the name on the circuit, with the guitarist’s outfit vying with a squad led by singer Phil Lewis.

But after deciding it was bad for fans, Guns says he’s moved on.

He tells The Musician’s Voice: “Being in LA Guns is just not worth the trouble, with two different versions running around.

“Neither band does the other band any good, and I think it’s disappointing for the fans ultimately. You’re dealing with people who have supported you and your music for over 20 years.

“I would like to be able to go into each gig with a clear conscience, put out records with a clear conscience and know that I’m doing my best, and I’m no trying to pull the wool over anybody’s eyes.”

And Guns wants to keep developing as a musician, which he feels would be more difficult using the old name.

“I think I’ve kind of done it to death,” he says, adding there’s not enough room to “grow, to move, and to exceed the fan base’s expectations.

“They really loved their old LA Guns and I get it it – but I’m older, and I continued to study music and recording and a lot of different things. We play a lot of LA Guns in our live set. People expect to hear those from me.”

But he might go back one day: “If there was ever an opportunity to do LA Guns for a higher reason, for a bigger reason, I would certainly do it,” he says. “But I’m kind of over it.”

Tracii Guns’ League of Gentlemen includes singer Scott Foster Harris, drummer Doni Gray and bassist Craig McCloskey. Lewis’ version of LA Guns released an album, Hollywood Forever, earlier this year.

Maybe he's following all the Great White and Queensryche drama and realizing just how stupid it all is.

He didn't want to be the opening act on the Geoff Tate's Queensryche, Jack Russell's Great White and LA Guns featuring Tracii Guns tour.......

Rumors that Tracii is gonna tour under the Vandenberg moniker cannot be confirmed at this time.
