- L.A. Guns is a hard rock/Sleazy Glam band from Los Angeles, California. The first incarnation of the group was formed, by Tracii Guns, in 1983 and included singer William Bailey, a.k.a W. Axl Rose, bassist Ole Beich and drummer Rob Gardner. Bailey would leave the group to front Rapidfire before going on to form Hollywood Rose with Izzy Stradlin. L.A. Guns disbanded in 1985 following its merger with Hollywood Rose, becoming the first lineup of Guns N' Roses.
After leaving Guns N' Roses in 1985, Tracii Guns joined Paul Black, Robert Stoddard (a.k.a. Ned Christie, ex singer with UK band The Dogs D'Amour), Mick Cripps and Nickey Alexander. Initially the project began as a collaboration between Black and Cripps called Faster Pussycat. The name was changed back to L.A. Guns when Tracii Guns entered the band.
After writing and demoing material and playing shows, the group signed a deal with PolyGram Records. Shortly after this signing Paul Black was replaced by former Girl singer Philip Lewis.
The band then went on to record and release its eponymous debut album, simply titled "L.A. Guns. The album featured six songs co-wrote by former singer Paul Black...
Paul Black - Lead Vocals
Tracii Guns - Lead Guitar
Robert Stoddard - Rhythm Guitar
Mick Cripps - Bass Guitar
Nickey "Beat" Alexander - Drums - เพลง
Hey Guys,
Would be great to see some more stuff around the Robert-era of LA Guns. I caught that lineup a couple times in SF clubs during the time, and they were great. "LAPD" was a cool track and the band was more original--especially with Robert's Stones/Thunders/new wave style. Also, with Nickey Beat it was a much different band. I may have some flyers from the period.
Used to go watch Stoddard all the time with his brother Jim. Had know idea he ended up in LA Guns
It’s good to be back!
Heard it live when tracii played athens Greece aeons ago...this guy played a whole song ,with a broken string guitar(whammy bar included) before switch on another one.... didn't miss a note !!!!LA pro stuff!!!!🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
This the first song I ever heard from L.A guns back in 07.
I looooooooove this song ❤
this is sweet I love L.A GUNS
@MileHighTech This is true! He is also responcible for co writing other songs while he was with L.A. Guns. I wish someone would upload the Stoddard original, it's one record that passed me by and I'd love to hear it...

Awesome.
Likea motocycle engine here comes the rock n roller king of the rock 🤘💀🤘
Awesome song should've been released hell they still could it's real 80's though it's rad
Oh......my...... God.........So, tonight I was watching the hilariously funny 80s movie "Night Patrol" and I was intrigued by the theme song "L.A.P.D.". It is sort of Oingo Boing-esqe, so I got to looking and found out Robert Stoddard wrote it..... Anyway, check out the beginning of the movie if you want to hear this metal song, but in a synthesized Oingo Boingo version....
Yep, Me too
@MileHighTech Absolutly fantastic :)
Would love to hear The Robert Stoddard Band original again. They were one of my favorite bands at the time. If I remember right, Elektra wanted them to record multiple versions of the song for different cities, and when they refused to, the record company lost interest in them.
I was the producer/engineer for Robert Stoddard's Elektra release "LAPD. Great record but nothing became of it.
Was this song ever on the debut album? I thought it was, but for some reason I can't find anything about this song other than this demo. Paul Black singing this song is awesome.
No. This is a song from their demo before Phil Lewis joined the band. That's Paul Black singing.
I can't recall how I heard of Paul Black, but I found Black List online when it was released in 2005 and LAPD is one of the best songs.
Greatest song of all time! Can you send this song to my email? Rock on!
lyrics please
Not true - they did a single deal and LAPD did not get enough interest - it was not released officially - just a promo release for radio. I was his gf at the time .
A Robert stoddsrd song Usted un 1 982 I think i have the EP after thiss he went to London yo join the great Dogs D'amour
