Such an underrated band! They should have gotten more exposure and radio play than they did. What a time to be a teenage guitarist!! The 80's we THE BEST!!!!
@@xbeheritx8323 Hair metal was still huge until 1993 though, and even so they are more akin to bands like Guns N Roses than Poison. More hard rock than glam metal.
And heavy metal it was. Fair play. Glam metal was my first taste of metal and to this day I will defend its place in heavy metal history. Great solo-work in this metal classic.
I thought it would last forever. The destruction of rock was a real fucking mess. It was like watching the locusts eat all your alfalfa and knowing there's nothing you can do about it. I blame Cobain, primarily.
@@slipknot6789 Yeah man, Phil likes the small gigs. Nikki Sixx has tried to get Phil to open up for Motley Crue before they retired, and they seem to have no interest in arenas or any larger venues.
Certainly a band that deserved WAY more attention in their day, more than bands like Firehouse, Nelson or Steelheart. Aside from L.A. Guns, bands like Hanoi Rocks, Jetboy, Spread Eagle, Faster Pussycat and Tora Tora all deserved to be way bigger than some of the bigger Glam metal bands. Especially in the later era of the genre.
Still love their music after all these years! Kelly Nickels is one of the hottest bassists in all rock! So many great memories, driving as fast as I could on the interstate, blaring the Guns (both Roses and L.A.). Damn, wish I could go back!!!
LA Guns are still one of my top bands of all time, and this song is one of my top songs of all time. That guitar at the end is killer. Even got the band logo tattooed on my arm.
This song rocks out so good , theses guys are so tight on cocked & loaded, L.A. guns are so underrated it's a shame , still listening in 2023 & beyond....
I saw them live last sunday in NEW HAMPSHIRE and they kicked ass ! Phil sounded amazing, Tracii is ripping, the whole band is full of energy. The setlist was stellar, their discography is great, they are the best hard rock band. They closed the show with RIP AND TEAR !!

Seen a lot of killer groups back in the 80's. Between the lead singers voice and stage presence, the scorching guitars and lyrics, solid drum beat, and back up singers( ie guitar players, excellent voices) these guys, with the right management should have been headlining stadiums. Still crank em to this day.
I heard that kids born in the last 15 years or so - if they only listen to popular music - will never even hear a guitar. That is sad. This music will always be with me - You can see Tracii Guns playing at the LVH in Las Vegas now at a show called Raiding the Rock Vault - saw it last night and it kicks a**! Go see it.
I saw them with a friend of mine in San Francisco on Thanksgiving in 1989. This was before the Ballad of Jayne came out. It was about 90% dudes with mosh pits and fist fights! My friend and I had a blast...my mother was pissed caused we bailed early on Thanksgiving day lol. We saw LA Guns sooooo many times. What can I say? Those were the days!
If i Could remem ber what year but i cant but , anyway my parents told me they saw L.A guns at a local bar BEFORE they become famous. I am proud that my parents choose the right music for me. :D
We saw them in a small club two years ago. Phil's voice has not changed that much - he sounded great. Tracii ripped and tore, as usual. The only issue was the bass and 2nd guitar were a bit buried in the house mix. If you have a chance to go -- Go.
Yeah, forgot myname, read my latest Facebook post for a Similar opinion in my having seen them live years ago, when Ralph Saenz from Atomic Punk & Steel Panther was doing the lead vocals? Apparently they'd used him on a studio album release as well...I dunno? But, Traci always was the prototype marketing whiz, and I guess the chance to stay in Hawaii (where we'd seen em) was worth playing a 3 night stand in front of a few handfuls of people cause tho they'd sounded typical LA GUNS, the discerning eye could easily tell that they were falling victims to living "the rock n roll lifestyle"... it's too bad with Covid my days of seeing em again might have just passed.?
When you learn that Phil Lewis was from London, England and made to sing with an American accent like most singers from the UK during the 80s and 90s...Manufactured band of the 90s at its finest. But, we loved them anyway! I loved L.A. Guns, their first two albums were the best. Kelly Nickels was the sexiest man alive, OMG....
I love this song, album, and band. L.A. Guns are in my top five favorite bands there first three albums that came out when they were popular all rocked, and all had something different to offer.
I got to shake Steve Riley's hand at the Grizzly Rose, He remembered me from a show at Bangles where I worked the spotlight. He was so cool. Memories.. R.I.P. Rock In Peace...
They burned 🔥 down the legendary Coach House in San Juan Capistrano, CA on 12/30/2022. Tracii Guns is shredding better than ever and Phil Lewis still has an amazing vocal range. Whole band is better than ever live. This was the show closer!!!! World class hard rock!!!!
Phil Lewis rocks and geez I had a serious mancrush on skanky ole lovable Tracii. Most underrated shredder in the business. Fantastic rhythm section too.
Such An Underrated Band? And Why Is BEYOND ME!!!! These Boys Are Quite The Triple Threat!!!! Phil, Traci & Kelley!!! And of course...There's MANY BOYS Who've strung Our Ears!!!! Thanks Again Boys for delivering unique Memories....😉 Ya'll Are The BEST!!!! 🤘🖤🤘
@@therealchaos1523 Tracii is the best, Izzy is my personal favorite and a rhythm guitarist's hero, but Slash can barely play anything for too long and it takes way too long for him to get the hang of anything. If you listen to any demos he takes way too long of a time.
Saw these guys, one of my favorite bands, in Fargo ND about 3-4 years ago. They rocked without Traci but was so thankful had the opportunity to see them. Felt bad for them, only about 60 people in this small bar but they played like a full stadium! Saw a rare ibanez xv 500 at a pawn shop a month later, always wondered if it was theirs...so sad....love y'all...rock on
I miss the 1980s L.A. strip were all badass bands were nobody's till they became somebody were the hell did it all go? What happened to Gazzaries? I'm from L.a. me and my friends would go see Al these up and coming rock or METAL bands? It's all gone??? That sucks!!! Bring it back,Bring it all back!!!!!
Me too.first of all gazarris ended when bill died.they put in key club w was ok but now you walk by and its all rap.i happen to like some rap but yeah was'nt same.another thing is that the neighbors (i know i lived rt down street) were complaining to the cops about all the trash,litter,and late night partying brought into weho.I must admit i had a few drunk green haired people show up at my door but i managed the place so hey!!!!Anyhow,yeah the constant flyering was so rad you could drink or shoot dope in the streets and no one gave 2 fucks.the neighbors did not like it therefore they complained,therefore the strip infiltrated and let's not forget the riots w put the lining on the coffin so to speak!!!!👍✌
I saw L.A. Guns at The Rockbox in San Antonio on 12/15/17. And I got to say, they put on a good show. That was the first time I've ever seen them perform.
I'm Arthur Bhutic! When this came out in Early 1989, I was new to Houston! Just a few years earlier, I lived of Greenville, South Carolina in Travelers Rest, SC then going to elementary school 🏫!
Man I wish Phil and Traci would work out whatever differences they might have and reunite and have L.A. Guns be one band again. The magic of the band is their chemistry together as a team.
You'd NEVER guess to look at me now as I'm a prim and proper grown up, but metal was my life as a teen. Loved it all: glam metal, sleaze metal, trad metal, thrash. Everything from Crue, Pussycat to Metallica and Misfits. LA Guns in particular gave me a lifelong love of America. My first boyfriend modelled himself on Phil Lewis. I remember revising for my degree finals listening to the Guns one hot summer (I passed with honours, was a swot). Such happy days! Thank goodness I have Spotify nowadays as my vinyls and CDs are long gone.

Seen a comment saying kids born in the last 15 years will never know what a guitar is...now that's just stupid talk. My daughters about 2 and loves this kind of music. She also loves it when her daddy cranks his marshall and rattles the house.
R Mang my kids were raised on this stuff. And they knew where their dad was on Friday and Saturday nights and why I came home late with a wad of cash for their mom and gear all over the place. Guitars everywhere
Tracii Guns from about 3:17 on ... Dude should have been a household name. Great look, great sound, great songs, great stage presence, even a great stage name.
Such an underrated band! They should have gotten more exposure and radio play than they did. What a time to be a teenage guitarist!! The 80's we THE BEST!!!!
the 80's were the BEST for music BUT growing up in the 60's and 70's were fuckin EPIC
Hair metal was a walking corpse by 88’, and other forms of metal, grunge, and gangster rap dethroned it. They should of adapted with the times.

@@sirquacksalot6463glam metal is hard rock
Underrated is always good.
L.A. Guns are a VERY underrated band. Attitude,talent,imagery..They have a great legacy.
Trevor Rabin is underrated
They definitely are cool.
you're right
These guys never got the credit or recognition that they deserved.
Yh. But that's the way it goes I suppose. But they did get a good bit of recognition.
They were on mtv, Arsenio Hall, Into the Night Starring Rick Dees, and plenty of others in other countries.
The interest in sky diving increased like 5,000% cause of the Point Break Movie, largely cause their song made the scene look so cool.
@@llamafrhd yeah but Hollywood Vampires was their last album that charted. After that they became irreverent sadlt
@@HattieJosh yea and they are still amazing to this day
I'm 50 now and everyday I'm thankful I lived through this era of music! There will never be another time like the 80s and the metal like this!
Still living it I'll never stop
I am almost 68 and still rocking hard. So blessed to have been in the middle of it all and to have met almost everyone. Very grateful
@@dragonlea13979 Best days in music ever! We sure got lucky to see all those great bands!
@@barryjohnson3682 that is for sure!!! My first rock concert in ‘78 was Van Halen, saw their first 3 tours
One of the best hair metal songs in 80s. Guitar solo is amazing! RIP Steve🙏
This band was flawless at this time......untouchable.
Aswm la guns one of the best they really put on live good show I just recently bought a ventidge concert t shirt from early days
Was? they still are.
Totally agree. Dominant and super underrated.
to be fair they've also stood the test of time, top band!!
Yep still touring and making music. Love the guns. Better than the other band that got huge just goes to show it’s not always talent that wins.
Awesome song ...Cocked And Loaded is one of the best albums of the era.Every song on it just kick ass.
Serious You think that
+SHAME Gets my blood racin' still!
Agreed, I still love every song on it almost 30 years later.
@@gabrielbrouwer what are you trying to say
Gravelblock .101 I don’t know what I was saying, it’s been 3 years but L.A. Guns is a pretty good band.
Phil Lewis one of the best voices of glam metal hard rock 🎸
We didn't realize what we had back
then. I miss the old music scene.
Heavy Metal Forever.
Destroyed by PC Gender shit and the NWO Universal Sony company
U got that right. Garbage ashamed to call it rock
And heavy metal it was. Fair play. Glam metal was my first taste of metal and to this day I will defend its place in heavy metal history. Great solo-work in this metal classic.

I know it sux now we partied like rock stars without being one lol
This song has huge guts.
My ex did too
Tane Rameka why are we both here...
(cackles) misread that a sec as "This song has huge nuts".... both are true tho :)
Before his time
Doom rip and tear is so much better than this fucking garbage!
I get chills every time I hear the song speed up at the end, and Tracii just shreds away. This is the epitome of what Rock/Metal is 🤘
All these years later this band holds up. Old school rock n roll delivered with drive and energy! Rip and tear baby!
You may be cool...but you'll never be as cool as L.A. Guns in 1989..
Amen. Amazing how Phil doesn't want to do big arena shows like this.

This is how you rock! I play it every time I fly, as we’re rumbling down the runway!
Takes me back to my clubbing days. Amazing band live and so overlooked. Miss them days.
Sunset Blvd!
LA Guns are still one of my top bands of all time, and this song is one of my top songs of all time. That guitar at the end is killer.
Even got the band logo tattooed on my arm.
they dont make rock bands like this anymore. the 70's n 80's was the best time for rock and metal
desmond ande Agreed, but it peaked about '88-'93.
desmond ande sleaze metal bands*
And...was a damn good time!
KISS army general they are a joke..good one!,but a joke.
Said every old man who can't adapt ever.
Seen them at the Bierkeller Bristol..they rocked..this was 2000 or 01..🇬🇧🤟🎸💋💋💋💋💋💋🎸🎸🎸

Me too ! LA GUNS is perfect
They still close a show with this...E-leck-trick

Oh I love the LA Guns!!! Easily one of my top 5 favorite glam bands!!! I might get to see them for my birthday in September!!! :D
this song gives me hope & energy
Seen a comment saying kids born in the last 15 years will never know what a guitar is...now that's just stupid talk. My daughters about 2 and loves this kind of music. She also loves it when her daddy cranks his marshall and rattles the house.
R Mang my kids were raised on this stuff. And they knew where their dad was on Friday and Saturday nights and why I came home late with a wad of cash for their mom and gear all over the place. Guitars everywhere
That's because her dad is cool and raising her up right!😀👍
@@daveg4236 hell yes, the way it was hahaha. Unwanted phone numbers out the window first tho. 😝👍
Raising kids right!
Ha I'm 15 and I'm loving this stuff right now
Tracii Guns from about 3:17 on ... Dude should have been a household name. Great look, great sound, great songs, great stage presence, even a great stage name.
New young bands don`t write songs this good anymore because they`re paralysed by fear of "offending" anyone.
watched laguns 3weeks ago in Belfast and they were outstanding,tracii guns was superb as was Phil michael jonny and shane👌
Long live rock n roll!

L.A Guns albums are still relevant and hold up to time. Rocknroll is RNR!
