    I was 16 and flying high when this album came out. A year later was Cocked and Loaded! My high school years were LA Guns. Great times and great music. Keep these wonderful stories coming of LA Guns..........

    As someone who loves motorcycles, I love how bands would incorporate bikes into the image. I can hear songs like Electric Gypsy in my head while riding my Kawasaki 😊 - thanks again for the videos!

    Hey there, great stories of rock n roll! I bought the first L.A. Guns album on cassette when it first came out and I might still have it somewhere.
    A bit off topic, but looks like you recorded a piece of railroad history in the video. The Sante Fe Railroad is legendary in the railfanning community.

    I don't know if you discuss this type of stuff but it would be interesting to know how much these bands were making per show or tour from that era. That's usually a part of the discussion that is never talked about. It was 30 years ago so I'm sure it doesn't matter by now
