L.A. Guns started in 1982 as a straight up dirty ass rock and roll band. The band was put together by Tracii Guns in his last year of high school with singer Michael Jagosz, bass player Ole Beich and drummer Rob Gardner. When Jagosz had to leave the band soon after, Axl Rose of Hollywood Rose replaced him. After some lineup changes, the band got signed with Polygram Records in 1987 with Tracii Guns on lead guitar, Phil Lewis on vocals, Steve Riley on drums, Mick Cripps on rhythm guitar and Kelly Nickels on bass, recording their first album titled L.A. Guns that summer. Over 1,000,000 copies were sold earning the band its first platinum album award.

In 1989 the band went into the studio to record their second album titled Cocked and Loaded. They sold over 1,000,000 copies earning the band its second platinum record award. Their third album Hollywood Vampires was released in 1991. Over 1,000,000 copies were sold earning the band its third platinum album award. L.A. Guns has always been a work in progress without an end in sight, continually touring, writing and recording a huge variety of rock and roll sounds registered in their successful studio albums. Some people believe that L.A. Guns may be the last true Rock and Roll band that hasn't had to rely on outside writers to have continued success. The current lineup in L.A. Guns is Tracii Guns (guitar), Jeremy Carson aka Jeremy Guns (bass), Doni Gray (drums and percussion) and Jizzy Pearl (vocals), with whom Tracii recorded the album Shrinking Violet back in 1999.
