Album Review

L.A. Guns' third album, Hollywood Vampires, shows some signs of stagnation for the Californian sleaze rock band. Although there are handful of strong songs, usually powered by greasy riffs, a fair majority of the album sounds processed, as if the band were aiming for a Top 40 crossover hit, much like Cocked & Loaded's "The Ballad of Jayne." And they almost got that success with "It's Over Now," but the song sounded forced, like most of the power ballads on the album. When L.A. Guns stick with the rockers, they sound inspired and as good as they ever have.

Customer Reviews

Cool Album!

This is a pretty good album but their old stuff is better. I think the songs number 2 and 3 are awesome songs with some insane guitar playing by Traci Guns and some great singing by Phil Lewis.

Awesome album

Not typical L.A. Guns, but still great stuff

This particular album is one where, what the guys do is branch out a bit. Basically they wrote each song, and then recorded it, in the vein of one of their influences (read this in an interview at the time, back in the day). This does not lend itself to the recording being a typical L.A. Guns release, especially when they do an Allman Brothers Band-esce tune. Honestly though, this approach (of writing and recording a song in the style - more a less - of a particular artist) is much more interesting; and when they nail it, much more satisfying than a recording a cover version of so and so's song. So no, not your regular L.A. Guns record, but a really good one none the less. Mind you, they did not change direction with this album, this is just a little trip down a side road. If it completely upsets your world to have a band do a record that is not their typical fare, then skip this altogether, but if you are open to something a bit different, this is as good as most any band's meander off of there main route.
