CD Reviews

One of the best hard rock discs you'll hear this year!

"While LA Guns has a solid and quite large body of work, SHRINKING VIOLET is one of the best cds they've made. If you missed this disc the fist time around, do yourself a favor and pick this up. Every track on this cd is a winner sans Bad Whiskey which is a ratio few bands fail to achieve in this era The hard work and professionalism of this line-up is particularly evident in the extra live tracks that are included in this re-issue. Vocalist Jizzy Pearl (made famous as lead throat for LA legends Love/Hate) has the right pedigree to front any band featuring Tracii Guns. To get hooked quick listen to Girl You Turn Me On, Dreamtime, I'll Be There and Cherries. At that point you'll be ready to enjoy the remainder of this gem. Seriously, its really good. Interestingly they've switched out a studio track, Decide, for a live version of the same track that absolutely smokes. The company responsible for the 5 live tracks did a phenomenal job and I wish the entire show was avaliable as sonically it sounds great. Anyhow, this is my first amazon review, but felt strongly enough to post. Enjoy this disc if you have it and if don't your missing out on a straight up hard rock disc that fits perfectly in 2010.

Take care!"

Best L.A. Guns Album You Never Heard

"If all you've heard of LA Guns is their first 2 albums, you're missing out. This 1999 release is my favorite l.a.g. album. Ex-Love/Hate vocalist Jizzy Pearl does the vocals (Check out Blackout In The Red Room by Love/Hate). This CD's been in my truck's cd player for a while now. I can't take it out! Get it! Tracii needs a new guitar! Ha (That would make an even 1000). Take Me Back To California!"
