![]() And so eventually Axl came out and they put together, I think it was probably Hollywood Rose. I was about 16 or 17 and he was about 19 or 20. I’m gonna bring him out here.” Izzy was living at my mom’s house. Izzy always told me, “Yeah, you know, I have this buddy in Indiana. You helped form Guns N’ Roses in the mid Eighties. So I just put everything together and we took it from there. And at the end of the record there’s some really big classical-influenced pieces of music that I actually originally wrote for Quiet Riot in 2005. Then “Kill It or Die,” “A Drop of Bleach,” they’re kind of like Hollywood Vampires-era L.A. Guns.Īnd then Michael wrote “Don’t Bring a Knife to a Gunfight” and “The Devil Made Me Do It,” and Johnny wrote the music for “Baby Gotta Fever,” which is a perfect representation of that L.A. But I’m glad I listened to it, because “Speed” is a damn fine representation of L.A. “Speed” was actually something I had in a folder on my computer called “Bad Eighties Riff.” And I thought, What’s “Bad Eighties Riff”? And I opened it up and I went, “Wow, this is ‘Badass Eighties Riff’!” But, you know, at the time I wrote it I was probably just nauseated by the whole situation and put it away. So songs on the new record like “It’s All the Same to Me” and “Speed,” those are classic L.A. Then we also had great success with songs like “Over the Edge,” that are more kind of epic in feel. Taking some elements of punk rock and mixing them with classic rock and speeding all that shit up. Guns is that sleaze/hair metal kind of dark thing that we did. Guns music for over 10 years was being able to look at what L.A. Well, the greatest thing about not doing new L.A. ![]() The new record, The Missing Peace, is killer. ![]() Guns guitarist Tracii Guns recently answered fan-submitted questions via Guitar World. ![]()
