They Had Fame — Then Tracii Guns Torched It

The L.A. Guns Story. This week, we unravel the wild, dirty, and ultimately heartbreaking saga of L.A. Guns—a Sunset Strip staple that helped define glam metal but couldn’t survive its own internal chaos. Born in the fiery crucible of 1980s Hollywood, L.A. Guns was the raw, riff-driven alternative to polished hair metal. But behind the eyeliner and Marshall stacks were clashing egos, rotating lineups, and one legendary feud that derailed the band just as they were poised for superstardom. From Tracii Guns’ fiery guitar work to Phil Lewis' snarling vocals, to the soap-opera-level conflict that would fracture the band for decades—this is the true story of the band that was almost too rock n’ roll for its own good.
