I heard a song off it and I must say I was shocked probably the best thing they've done since Cocked N Loaded [img]smile.gif[/img]
How old is Phil Lewis anyway??? His voice sounds the same now as it did back with Girl, and when I saw Guns a few years ago, he had yet to start aging.

<font size="4" face="Arial">Good question & I'm thinking our Philly wily is a bit of a pork pie'r on his biog he says he was born 6th june 1966 which would have made him.......13 when Girl released "My Number" in 1979,mmmmmmm by a process of nothing other than I my crap maths (see other topic [img]redface.gif[/img] ) I'm thinking he must be about 45 guessing he was about 18/19 when Girl started [img]graemlins/smarty.gif[/img]Originally posted by Carl I.:

I think your right about the age Mr Wopper.
In the dubious environs of upstairs at The Welly,
Hull, a few months ago, Lewis looked quite spritely
for his age, whatever that is. Large head.

6/6/66...the number of the beast.
Finally I got it... Just first listening and second song right now playing... I just wanted to write something while listening to it for the first time... Together with the new Tigertailz stuff (Steve & Ace's version of Tigertailz of course) soon to come out (I hope), I was waiting so much for this new album by L.A. Guns. I got all their discography and I am a very big fan of them since their beginnings and their first album 1988 still their best in my opinion... and what can I say, As far as I have listened (now playing third song), I must say that even if I always loved Tracii's playing as maybe the only one who can reach my deeper feelings by playing from the heart and not technical, Stacy does great job, he's also one of my favourite guitar players since very long ago. I've been always a big fan of Roxx Gang since they started and since he joined Roxx Gang in 1995 for the album Voodoo You Love I've always liked very very much his style of playing guitar. Now playing fourth song... and what can I say... you know the feeling when you discover song by song a new album you have been waiting for and which has just arrived to your mailbox... like a little child with a great smile and great ilusion... Shame that first listening only happens once... I will post more about my opinions later on when I have listened to it 3 or 4 times...
First listening completed and... for those who think that a Tracii Guns-less LA Guns should be a pale imitation of the original... this 14 track release goes a long way of putting that theory to pasture. This is by far the best thing I have heard out of the LA Guns lads since the late 80s and certainly thousands times better than Man In The Moon, Waking The Dead and also million times better than the Brides debut release. Both music and lyrics are on cracking form. Phil Lewis is in fine form here and the band of Steve Riley, Adam Hamilton & Stacey Blades produce a d**n good slice of Hollywood sleeze. Tracks like 'Hollywood's Burning', 'Shame', 'Resurrection' and It Don't Mean Nothing' evoke the sleeze and glamour that is Hollywood. To be honest I cannot get enough of playing this CD again and again, really enjoying it something I can't say I have with this sort of music for quite a while (except maybe that one of Zan Clan which is great). Its got all those bits that remind you why you liked GnR, LA Guns et al in the first place. 'Vampire' will remind you of the band's past glories if you had forgotten. Forget all the imitators trying to get that 80s' vibe and take a listen to the boys who were there when it all started. LA Guns are back and baby they got attitude.
I KNOW I'M BEING AN ASS PAIN IN THIS POST BUT THIS ALBUM MADE ME REMEMBER HOW MUCH I LOVE 1ST LA GUNS ALBUM BUT MY ORIGINAL COPY WENT DAMAGED, VICTIM OF MY LIL SON'S "APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION" LMAO!!! ANYONE WHO CAN HELP ME YOUSENDINGIT??? BTW OTHER OF THE DAMAGED DISC WAS THE MCAULEY SCHENKER GROUP'S ALBUM WITH THE SONG "LOVE IS NOT A GAME" ALWAYS LOVED THAT GUY'S VOICE!!! SO AGAIN A HELP WITH ANY OF BOTH WILL BE SO MUCH THANXXXED!!! BILL, STILL WAITING FOR YER PICK!!!
I love the track 'Resurrection'! For me the best track of the album... Both solos shouldn't be in the album and 'Skin' is the weakest for my taste... and 'Rox Baby Girl' a filler but not bad at all (a 11-track album with this included would have been OK too). It should have been a 10-track album with the following setlist:
1. It Don't Mean Nothing
2. Electric Neon Sunset
3. Gypsy Soul
4. Original Sin
5. Vampire
6. Hollywood's Burning
7. Crazy Motorcycle
8. Shame
9. Resurrection
10. (Can't Give You)Anything Better Than Love
But anyway, as it is it's with 14 tracks is perfect and I am getting used to both instrumental tracks at every listening...
