Monster Ballads
(1999)

by
Various Artists
Razor & Tie's Monster Ballads provides a near-definitive portrait of the golden age of the power ballad, the late '80s/early '90s (henceforth known as the Bush era). Sure, a few of the 16 songs were recorded prior to the Bush era (such as Mike Reno and Anne Wilson's genre-defining "Almost Paradise" or Europe's "Carrie"), and there are a few ...

L.A. Guns
Even amidst the already seedy underbelly of the late-'80s L.A. glam metal scene, L.A. Guns were the undisputed bottom-feeders. A ragged collection of outcasts from various other bands (guitarist Tracii Guns was the original "guns" in Guns n' Roses, drummer Steven Riley had recently vacated the stool with shock-kings W.A.S.P., and British vocalist ...

by
L.A. Guns
L.A. Guns' most consistent and effective album, Cocked & Loaded manages to balance the underlying darkness of Guns N' Roses' urban outlook with Mötley Crüe's party-anthem glam metal. The songwriting is among their best; "Never Enough" was successful on MTV, and "The Ballad of Jayne," a tribute to actress Jayne Mansfield, was a Top 40 hit. Steve ...

by
L.A. Guns
L.A. Guns' third album, Hollywood Vampires, shows some signs of stagnation for the Californian sleaze rock band. Although there are handful of strong songs, usually powered by greasy riffs, a fair majority of the album sounds processed, as if the band were aiming for a Top 40 crossover hit, much like Cocked & Loaded's "The Ballad of Jayne." And ...

The budget-line release Winning Combinations is one in a series that compiles five songs each from two artists of a particular genre. While the Cinderella/L.A. Guns edition is a no-frills presentation, it does include each band's generally accepted high points. Cinderella turns in the classic Bic ballads "Nobody's Fool" and "Don't Know What You ...

Best of 80's Metal, Vol. 2 concentrates on late-'80s pop-metal hits like Winger's "Seventeen," Lita Ford's "Kiss Me Deadly," Great White's "Once Bitten, Twice Shy," and Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again," throwing in Night Ranger's "Sister Christian" for good measure. It may be a little brief, but all of the cuts on the collection are first-rate, ...

Tales from the Strip
(2005)
more music like this
by
L.A. Guns
What keeps Tales from the Strip from being a truly great album is twofold: (a) the complete disappearance of founding member Tracii Guns, and (two) the lack of cohesion between songs. Tales from the Strip is L.A. Guns' homage to the sleaziest strip of land in L.A. for glam rockers of decades past. But this could have been a fantastic song cycle ...

Like many of Cleopatra's tribute albums, Guns N' Roses Tribute: Appetite for Reconstruction is unnecessary, but at least it doesn't contain such bizarre match-ups as their Garth Brooks and U2 salutes. At least that's what it looks like if you scan the artist listing. Here, contemporaries of the Gunners -- Faster Pussycat, Bang Tango, L.A. Guns, ...

L.A. Guns' follow-up to their comeback effort Vicious Circle returns the band to the sound of their hair metal heyday. Of course, the music on American Hardcore is anything but hardcore -- it's standard pop-metal, complete with Kiss, Zeppelin, Aerosmith and Mötley Crüe overtones. L.A. Guns do sound tougher than they did on their last few major ...

When all the glam metal bands of the '80s resurfaced once more in the early 21st century, few of those acts were able to boast that all the members from their hitmaking years were present once more.

Here's a little-known glam-metal fact: Phil Lewis was not the first frontman for Sunset Strip favorites L.A. Guns.

Take the title of Hot & Sexy Rock All Night with a grain of salt -- Quiet Riot, Eddie Money and Ted Nugent may sing about sex, but it's a stretch to call them "sexy." In fact, it's hard to call any of the nine songs on this budget-priced collection sexy, even if they're all about sex -- big drums and heavy guitars can be carnal, but the sound here ...
