Los Angeles, United States (1983 – 1984, 1985 – present)
L.A. Guns is the name of two glam metal groups from Los Angeles, California. One group is led by Guitarist Tracii Guns while the other version is led by Vocalist Phil Lewis & Drummer Steve Riley.
The group was initially formed in 1983 and was composed of guitarist Tracii Guns, singer Axl Rose (who left to form Hollywood Rose and was replaced by Michael Jagosz), bassist Ole Beich and drummer Rob Gardner. The group disbanded in 1984 when Tracii Guns and Axl Rose decided to merge both L.A. Guns and Hollywood Rose to form the first lineup of Guns N’ Roses. The lineup included Axl Rose and Izzy Stradlin from Hollywood Rose and Tracii Guns, Ole Beich and Rob Gardner from L.A. Guns however this was short lived when all three L.A. Guns members left the group.
In 1985, L.A. Guns was reformed by singer Paul Black, initially as Faster Pussycat, recruiting former Dogs D’Amour singer Robert Stoddard to be the new guitarist with the group being rounded up by Nickey Alexander on drums and Mick Cripps on bass. Following Tracii Guns addition to the group, they re-adopted the L.A. Guns moniker. After signing a deal with Polygram Records, Black was replaced by Phil Lewis (formerly of Girl), Cripps switched to guitar (replacing Stoddard) and bassist Kelly Nickels (formerly of Faster Pussycat) joined the group completing the lineup.
L.A. Guns debut album, L.A. Guns, was released in 1988 charting at number 50 on the Billboard 200. When they toured in support of the album, Alexander was replaced by former W.A.S.P. drummer Steve Riley.

@Rollosuplex I'm pretty excited about this as well, but I had hoped it would be Phil Lewis' L.A. Guns doing the split. Oh well, should still be fantastic.

Can't wait to hear their Stephen Malkmus cover. Frankly I'm more stoked to hear L.A. Guns cover Malkmus than I am to hear Malkmus cover L.A. Guns. I guess it really doesn't matter, both should be great.
