Couldn't agree more. There is so much energy in the new slate of albums. Really enjoy the old stuff but prefer the new Guns. Can't wait to see them live
I've met Phil a few times, coolest guy ever. He can really hit some wild notes. The fact they played so well in a small venue and actually get to know their crowd is dope! I saw crüe and it was a painful experience. Nikki wasn't even playing certain riffs, Vince was awful and there was a backing track most of the time covering up their parts when they didn't play at all.
He’s my celebrity crush I think he’s amazing 😻! He’s so handsome smart and kind ! I love La guns ! ❤❤. Im so excited watching this video ! The cd 💿 is awesome !
I have to say that he looks really good for a guy who is getting on a bit now, fuck me I'm 50 and I was a teenager when the first album came out so he must be 60 something? But he looks fucking great! Fair play Phil!
I absolutely agree with Phil regarding MC. They were a total scam (with the exception of Mick). I was at the Stadium Tour in Philly and their sound was horrible. If it hadn't been for the other bands, I would have walked out and demanded my money back. Joan Jett is in her 70's and she rocked the hell out of the place! Poison stole the show, the energy that Brett and the guys put out was just contagious! I would go to another of their shows 7 days a week and twice on Sundays, especially if they put new music out as a band (I fully admit that I was late to the party in regards to Poison). I am fully willing to admit that I am sort of a music snob and expect the band that I paid to see play PLAY! I understand that there are going to be some recorded parts due to how the songs were structured in the studio, but miming the whole thing, yeah, no. They went for decades without being out on the road and we all survived without them, if they chose not to play we still would have survived without them. I have yet to see L.A. Guns live yet, but I sure would love to! I look forward to listening to the new music!
I saw the Crue back in the day, Mick and Tommy impressed me but Vince was just adequate and I can't remember Nikki's playing at all. Saw Poison a couple of times back in the day. People get their frillies in a twist about Poison, it has always been about fun with them and as long as you remember this they're a fantastic live band. I've no interest in seeing the Crue now. If they really wanted to do more than extract money and attention Vince would have got his s*it together and you'd think they might know the songs well enough by now to only require minimal backing tracks.
FACT alert - I have always been a Crue Head. But gee Nikki, as brilliant a writer that he is, and really he's been the 'driver' of MC from the start, Sixx has arguably 'the' biggest glass jaw in rock. Nikki's entire adult life is full of contradicting statements on key issues, his name for example, he said he got it from his drivers licence, but he says he pinched that name N6from a bloke who was the boyfriend of a chick he was fucking? The 'Heroin Diaries' is all shit. I used, you reckon smackheads spend their time, their entire time writing a diary? No, you're ALWAYS chasing your next taste. Phil called NS out on that book and NS went ballistic. Now MC've used backing vocals for a decade and to be objective Nikki admitted this, Paul Stanley, the meglomaniac he is still denies miming - but Tracii plays Hudson or 5 off a short break. Tracii would have $200 million if he'd have followed Axl from 'Hollywood Rose' into lead guitar for GnR. The "Guns" in GnR is named after all a the staggeringly brilliant Tracii Guns. Nikki should grow up. The First Amendment seems foreign to Nikki, blocking Phil on Twitter just makes those that despise him hate him even more. He's called Lars "poor fat bald Lars" when Nikki wears hair parts himself, his entire front hairline has receded to the near middle of his scalp. I wish he'd just cease being a rude pig. He 'is' an icon, why go into the gutter? Has me amazed and honestly just sad. Vince and Mick for me are/have always been the fun/skilled members. Mick is a true guitar icon. I miss "Isabella". I have nothing at al negative to say about 5. He/NS are old mates, hence 5 being asked to join MC. Mick has something that once lost is impossible to regain - MASSIVE respect from fans and within the music industry !!
@@shayababy yeh I’m all for the music first and foremost ~ no homo either but that refrain was just too daft, those fellas never grabbed me. Feel for mick mars squandered a life with those clowns
Why don't you ask "honest honorable" Phil WHY he blatantly STOLE Paul Mars Black's music (with help from Tracii Ulrich-Guns' help of course) and then proceeded to change some lyrics and call it his own. The band then used majority of that stolen material to create (and sell loads of) their first album. But that's not all. Phil continues to this day to badmouth, run down, and demean Paul Black's artistic talents, his singing ability, and his so called "reason for being kicked out of L.A. Guns years ago", in the media. To this day, this guy Lewis is sooo insecure and ungrateful for what he was literally handed on a silver platter, he can't help himself from discreditting the guy he replaced and stole music from. Phil wasn't satisfied with just stealing Black's songs, his vocal style, and his place as lead singer of L.A. Guns. That wasn't enough. He actually has the audacity to criticize Black (unprovoked) for years everywhere in the media. Paul's life, his career (being buried in lawsuits for years over the stolen songs cost him any chance to further his musical way with later bands), his everything was destroyed by L.A. Guns, and specifically the band's label,Tracii, Phil, and even Steve Riley later on. These guys are as dishonest, disrespectful, and pathetic of human beings as you can ever find. Yet their "fans" gloss over all the bands' shortcomings and act as if they are some class act. This band has had absolutely NO integrity or care or respect for other musicians or human beings in general. And I am only making reference to thir horrible treatment of Paul Mars Black. L.A. Guns has hurt, mistreated, and betrayed MANY other musicians/artists over the years. But hey, they must think that their rewriting of their own history/past/bio will cover their asses for all the horrible things they've done and all the people they used and hurt over the years...>
This band is absolute fire!! I’ve seen them 8 times and looking forward to more this 2024! 🤘🤘🔥💯
I love Phil Lewis! Good to hear that him and Traci are getting along.
Phil... has never been short on words or his honesty.. bravo my friend... ;-)
Word:)
Thank you! TUFF forever!!!!
They are making some of the best music right now that they've ever made. This is such a great interview Phill is the deal deal man 🤘
Thank you!!!! I totally agree, LA GUNS are better than ever!

Phil needs Traci and Traci needs Phil 🍻
I've been a L.A. Guns fan since '88 when I heard them for the first time...
Jesus, their new album is way better than i thought it would be.
Great interview! Love the honesty! Well done. 💯💪🤘😎
Thank you Allen!!!!
Tracii and Phil ❤❤❤ miss Michael Grant tho..
I love Philip so much and LA Guns is my favorite band of all time! ❤

Phil was always good
And is still ❤
@@AudiophileTommy 👍
Honesty. Thankyou Phil ❤
In my search for the ageless sleaze rockers of the 80’s Phil & tracii are the best sunset strip has ever shot out … l.a. Guns
I have to say that he looks really good for a guy who is getting on a bit now, fuck me I'm 50 and I was a teenager when the first album came out so he must be 60 something? But he looks fucking great! Fair play Phil!
You`re kidding,he looks like a scrawny little old lady lolol
I love cocked and loaded. A great record imo.

Phil bring man on moon and scream in set
List. And revolution and don’t look at me that way
Love to hear these guys swinging at Motley Vanilli, Mötley Fraüd...what a disgrace, They were always B leaguers but this is a new low even for them
I totally agree with the Motley Crue thing I love Motley Crue but the way they did with Mick Mars is horrible
how does anyone love B leaguers who got lucky and outkicked their coverage
they have some classics but they have some absolutely putrid songs
Imagine a girl glam group (more feasible) singing Boys; Boys Boys if... that's a classic?
@@ARyan-nf5my That guitar riff is what made the song. The words are just dumb
@@shayababy yeh I’m all for the music first and foremost ~ no homo either but that refrain was just too daft, those fellas never grabbed me. Feel for mick mars squandered a life with those clowns
Their new stuff is really good, but I don’t think they’ll ever be able to top their first two albums. They are fantastic
Is this from Spinal Tap?
Are you?

Wasn't he fired from LA Guns? 😂😂😂😂😂
