L.a. guns hollywood rehearsal5/20/2023 Back then it was a bit of a cliquey scene. And whenever I’d try to put a band together, or join a band, those albums were the look and sound of the band I wanted to join. He was the guy riding the motorcycle with no hands in the “Electric Gypsy” video. and played on a track on ‘Hollywood Forever.’ I always thought he was the coolest member of the band. Scott Griffin: It’s fucking awesome man! Kelly’s a great guy. Guns member and really the guy whose bass parts you played for all your prior time in L.A. How does it feel to get to play with another classic line-up L.A. Sleaze Roxx: You seem very respectful towards Kelly. I just want to play the songs as faithful to the original recordings as possible. Like I said before, I’m not trying to compete with Tracii at all. But, yes, when we begin rehearsals, we will already have a singer, or will be auditioning singers at the very least. Kelly has already made the setlist, so I’m able to focus on what I need to learn. Scott Griffin: I can’t comment on who the singer is, or if we even have a singer yet. Guns at M3 will be but will the singer be attending the rehearsals in February and have you guys chosen who the singer will be? I also know you’re likely not going to tell me who the singer for L.A. I know from Kelly that you’ll all be meeting for rehearsals in February and again in March. I was in like one of the the fourth or fifth bands on the bill. Guns, or Faster Pussycat, or whoever, and there’s like ten local bands on before them? That was me. bands that “paid to play” to open for national acts at places like the Whisky, the Roxy, and the Viper Room. Growing up, all the bands I was in, I played lead guitar. How long have you been playing guitar and have you played guitar in any bands in the past? Sleaze Roxx: Obviously, people know you the best for your bass playing. Guns – You Better Not Love Me (Official Video) Get Hollywood Forever full album nowCleoStore: (CD/LP)Bandcamp: … Guns – You Better Not Love Me (Official Video) Guns‘ “You Better Not Love Me” video (from Hollywood Forever album): L.A. It’s fun as hell sure, and better than digging ditches, but at the end of the day, it’s just a gig. And I am even an alumni myself who helped write and record one of their best albums with them. Hell, I was in Ratt with only one original member who owned only 33% - maybe even less - of the band name. This isn’t a rockstar/ego thing for me. At least in this band, there are two original/classic members, including one who owns 50% of the name. I play music, that’s it. If some guy who sang with Jimmy Page or played guitar for Robert Plant told me he wanted to put together a band and call it Led Zeppelin, and wanted to know if I was interested in joining, the only questions I’d have would be “How much does it pay?” and “Do I get my own room?” A gig is a gig. I know there are some people who may be thinking I’m trying to compete with Tracii, or get back at Phil, or something stupid like that. Let me say real quick though, I make my living playing music. I said “Hell yeah, man!” I mean, who wouldn’t? Very quickly, Stacey realized he couldn’t do it because he had too much time and money invested into his new, original band, so Steve asked if I wanted to play lead guitar instead. Or I was gonna play rhythm guitar, and Kelly was on bass. At first, Stacey was asked to play guitar, and I was gonna play bass. Scott Griffin: Basically, Steve just called and asked. Guns line-up playing the M3 Rock Festival this year? How did you end up being part of the L.A. I was wrong with respect to your participation. Guns at the M3 Rock Festival, I predicted just for fun that Kelly would be part of it and because of that, I didn’t think you’d be part of it. Guns alumni would be playing with him as L.A. Sleaze Roxx: So when Steve announced that a bunch of L.A. SLEAZE ROXX CAUGHT UP WITH GRIFFIN TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT HIM AND ALL OF HIS EXPERIENCES. GUNS, BEING PART OF THE FIRST LINE-UP OF BOBBY BLOTZER’S VERSION OF RATT, FRONTING PUNK ROCK BAND SIN CITY REJECTS OR PLAYING IN SIN CITY SINNERS WITH MANY DIFFERENT ’80S ERA HARD ROCK GREATS.
