L.A. Guns成軍于1987年，88年發(fā)行的首張同名專輯，并沒有引起很大的回響，直到了89年的專輯”Cocked And Loaded”，憑借著單曲”The Ballad Of Jayne”，專輯在全美得到了金唱片，讓名利隨著專輯的成功而來。緊接著在91年的”Hollywood Vampires”專輯讓他們達到事業(yè)的最高峰。雖然如此，樂團卻沉寂了4年，只為了等待著另類音樂風潮消退。在95年發(fā)行了他們的第四張專輯”Vicious Circle”,他們雖然保有一群擁護的樂迷，但卻忽略注意到新世代聽眾，而影響到往后專輯的銷售。隨后撤換幾個團員陣容，在96年發(fā)表了專輯”American Hardcore”并沒有多大的改善銷售成績﹔L.A. Guns興落正好反映出重金屬音樂的音樂起起落落。
L.A. Guns was formed by former Guns N' Roses guitarist Tracii Guns in 1987. Teaming with ex-Girl vocalist Phil Lewis, former W.A.S.P. drummer Steve Riley, bassist Kelly Nickles, and guitarist Mick Cripps, Guns adhered to the Aerosmith-derived raunch of his former band. L.A. Guns released their self-titled first album in 1988, yet it wasn't until the following year's Cocked and Loaded that they truly broke big. On the strength of the hit single "The Ballad of Jayne," Cocked and Loaded went gold. Released two years later, Hollywood Vampires managed to hold their audience's attention, peaking at number 42. Nevertheless, the band laid low for four years, waiting for grunge to fade away. When L.A. Guns released their fourth album, Vicious Circle, in early 1995, they retained a core group of followers, yet it failed to capture the mainstream's attention; it was their weakest-selling album to date and saw the beginning of several lineup shifts, with Johnny Crypt taking over bass playing duties and Guns remaining the band's sole guitarist. Featuring new lead vocalist Chris Van Dahl, 1996's American Hardcore fared no better; Greatest Hits & Black Beauties, a collection of re-recorded favorites and new material, followed in 1999 after a succession of new vocalists that included Ralph Saenz (on 1998's Wasted EP) and Love/Hate singer Jizzy Pearl. That same summer, the group released a Gilby Clarke-produced collection of new material, entitled Shrinking Violet, with Pearl as lead vocalist. For 2001's Man in the Moon (again produced by Clarke), Phil Lewis and Mick Cripps returned to the lineup, joining Guns, Riley, former Pretty Boy Floyd member Keff Ratcliffe and new bassist Muddy
