L.A. Guns at the Red Carpet

If you’ve got nothing to do on Friday night (August 24th) I would suggest you go down to the Red Carpet in downtown St.Cloud and catch L.A. Guns. This band has been through a lot of lineup and name changes and most of us would recognize some of the members as the original founders of Guns N Roses. Tracii Guns formed L.A Guns in 1983 with Rob Gardner on drums, Ole Beich on Bass and singers Axl Rose and Mike Jagosz. Skip ahead to 1985 when Guns N Roses was formed by Axl, Tacii, Rob, Ole and Izzy Stradlin’. Before an album was released Tracii had quit Guns N Roses and re-formed L.A Guns. Fast forward 22 years, through countless amounts of lineup changes and you’ll wind up with the L.A. Guns playing at the Carpet on Friday. The current lineup is Phil Lewis (vocals), Scott Griffin (bass), Stacey Blades (guitar) and Steve Riley (drums).
Even though there are no original members, this show promises to be entertaining and it’s St.Cloud’s closest chance to see a rock n roll band with some history.


I haven’t even begun to scratch the surface of L.A. Guns many changes, but you can check it out for yourself at www.laguns.net
