I was 16 and flying high when this album came out. A year later was Cocked and Loaded! My high school years were LA Guns. Great times and great music. Keep these wonderful stories coming of LA Guns..........
Thank you 🙏
I love that self titled L.A. GUNS album are used to listen to electric gypsy every morning to get me ready to rock for school love the video love the song love that album that whole album is killer from start to finish all killer no filler. I still listen to that album routinely it’s killer killer killer. I was in seventh grade when that came out.
🙌
As someone who loves motorcycles, I love how bands would incorporate bikes into the image. I can hear songs like Electric Gypsy in my head while riding my Kawasaki 😊 - thanks again for the videos!

Nice to hear these less known facts and stories about life inside a band. It is not all glitz& glitter as some ppl might think..

🙏
Another great video and story bro 🤘
Thank you 🙏
Hey there, great stories of rock n roll! I bought the first L.A. Guns album on cassette when it first came out and I might still have it somewhere.
A bit off topic, but looks like you recorded a piece of railroad history in the video. The Sante Fe Railroad is legendary in the railfanning community.
Keep ‘em coming
Thank you 🙏
I don't know if you discuss this type of stuff but it would be interesting to know how much these bands were making per show or tour from that era. That's usually a part of the discussion that is never talked about. It was 30 years ago so I'm sure it doesn't matter by now
Was Kelly in that video after that accident? 😱 That video was on a non stop loop in a lounge I cocktailed in at the time. Found you on instagram. I always wondered how that video went down. These stories are priceless.
That video was after Kelly’s bad accident in 86. Thank you again for watching!
@@beforeiforget1985 wow! My father was a biker in NYC I caught the wobbles many times! That video always had me nervous. Like it was going to change lol. Great story, so happy I found you! Thank you again, you made my day!
Awesome!!!!!! The video for Sex Action made my Top 5 Rock Metal videos of all time list and its up on my channel...LOVED this era of LAG, despite the drama!!!! I figured Kelly was the only rider when you said, only 1 dude had sent time on a bike 🤣 Keep kickin ass bro!!! 🤘🦇🕷♠️🔥 -J.s.
Hey man.... digging these stories. If it is yet available, please send the info to get your book. I have a neat little story. Ozzy Motley 84 tour. Jacksonville FLA
Thank you 🙏 . Book is not out yet. Working on publishing
Do you stay in touch with any of the Gunners anymore
Mainly Mick
Killer story once again! What year were you born? I assume you’re pretty much the same age as my dad who was born in ‘64. He owned a Hard-Rock/ Heavy-Metal record store from 1988-2010 and turned me on to pretty much all the bands I like today. Stay heavy my dude, way cool stories! Keep ‘em commin’!!!
Thank you! 🙏I was born in 60.
I always thought the riff to Electric Gypsy sounded alot like Wildside. Anyone else hear that?
Hmmmmm interesting . Thanks for watching 🙏
Great story. I love Electric Gypsy video and amazing song. One more reason and first album NO MERCY IS THE SHIT. HEY DUDE U SEEM LIKE u dnt like Tracii too much.??
I love tracii! Thank you for watching 🙏
@@beforeiforget1985 ..i think LA GUNS SO UNDERRATED. I THINK MICK CRIPPS IS AN AWESOME MUSICIAN AND SONGWRITER.
HEY DUDE DIS MICK CRIPPS GET ALONG WITH TRACII AND PHIL?
He absolutely did 🙏
🤘
Do you still have the dragon tattoo ?
Yes it’s still there 🙏
saw your pics with ratt when they were opening for billy squier was it obvious that a lot of people were there to see ratt and the backlash from billys rock me tonite video had begun to happen?
Absolutely. Billy was on his last legs and Ratt was on the way up
@@beforeiforget1985 he was great musician but that video killed him. how did ratt guys like touring with him word back in the day was billys ego made gene simmons look humble lol
@@bb-gc2tx he is a great musician. I’ve loved him since he was in the band Piper. I only met him once and spoke to him for about 15 minutes and he was very nice. This was probably around 2011
@@beforeiforget1985 thats awesome. my wife and i love your channel and instagram her brother was a regular a lamours east in queens he was a roadie for band called smashed gladys he had a ton of stories he would tell about those days
@@bb-gc2tx thank you so much for following me 🙏
Who did you guys choose to handle your catering food🌮🍔🥗 options for the electric Gypsy video shoot 🎥
Hahahahaha catering? McDonald’s and truck stop food!
@@beforeiforget1985 MC D's can't go wrong
What did Nikki Beat due to get the axe 🪓 from L.A. GUNS☠️
He wasn’t a double bass playing heavy metal drummer . He was more of a punk rock type drummer but I loved his style
how does ballad of Jayne rank on your list of power ballads? lol
Not really a power ballad. It’s a good song. Not my fave though.
Off topic or maybe not but imo whoever watches beastiality pornography is a fkn psycho......on the other hand One more reason is how I first heard about LAG in it was great to say the least. Idk why I always have in mind that I first saw that video in september 1987(as maybe it wasnt even released in that period) ..anyway still one of my abs.favorites...and Im gonna watch it right now...🤘🤘🤘🤘
🤟
I agree....If it wasn't some sort of joke like the bikers trolling them to mess with their heads. Then they must have been some sick fvcks.

I saw LA Guns last year in Austin with Faster Pussycat and Tom Keifer . LA Guns did not sound good. They were a better band with Michael and Stacey.
I met Stacey and Phil in between stage change for skid Row at the Wild Horse Saloon in Nashville 2008
@@GlamprinceRockking I saw that tour in Austin as well.
I'm sorry to sound mean but, it's LA GUNS, not l.a. Riley's, I'd a told Steve get your b****h off this bus if she don't like what I'm watching on a bus for a band with my name on it. Can you imagine Jake E. Lee something like that to Ozzy?
