Axl Rose‘s former band L.A. GUNS have announced that they will be bringing their current line up to The Rosemount Hotel on Wednesday, May 23 to celebrate the release of their new album, The Missing Peace.
The band was formed in 1982 by guitarist Tracii Guns , known for originally providing the “Guns” in Guns N’ Roses‘ band name before he left following a bust up with Axl. The “classic lineup” also featured former Girl singer Phil Lewis, drummer Steve Riley, guitar player Mick Cripps and bassist Kelly Nickels. Along side Tracii Guns, they released their self titled album in 1988 and Cocked and Loaded in 1989.
After a nearly 15-year break, Phil Lewis and Tracii Guns are back together for another chapter in their partnership. Their writing partnership spawned classic songs such as Sex Action, Never Enough, Electric Gypsy and The Ballad Of Jayne along with many others.
The last time Lewis and Guns joined forces was back in 2000 for the making of Waking The Dead. The current lineup features Tracii Guns and Phil Lewis, along with Shane Fitzgibbon on drums, guitar player Michael Grant and bassist Johnny Martin.
The Missing Peace out now. L.A. Guns at The Rosemount Hotel, Wednesday, May 23. Tickets on sale Thursday, November 23.
