L.A. Guns

L.A. Guns came out of the Los Angeles Sunset Strip scene in the 1980s, part of the same glam metal wave that produced Guns N' Roses (guitarist Tracii Guns and singer Axl Rose crossed paths before Rose left to form that band). Known for hard-riffing tracks like "Ballad of Jayne" and "Ballad of Jayne," L.A. Guns built a lasting following on sleaze and swagger.

The band has kept touring and recording over the decades, with lineup changes but the same glam rock backbone. They've got a Colorado date coming up at Black Sheep.
