L.A. Guns’ Phil Lewis on Once Steve Riley Joined, “It really became a f***ing nightmare” 2023

What the hell ever did happen to Jane anyway ?

Made me think of how many bands were given a chance and pushed through in the 80s rock wave. So many that wouldnt have been big studio produced if not for record company guys and cash potential.
To point of hair metal eating itself, ABC123 kiddie stuff like Brittny Fox, Bang Tango, and Trixter.

Steve Riley is without a fickin’ doubt the most professional drummer … 🇦🇺

I absolutely LOVE your channel! Hope all is well. Thank you for everything that you do.

Why don't you ask "honest honorable" Phil WHY he blatantly STOLE Paul Mars Black's music (with help from Tracii Ulrich-Guns' help of course) and then proceeded to change some lyrics and call it his own. The band then used majority of that stolen material to create (and sell loads of) their first album. But that's not all. Phil continues to this day to badmouth, run down, and demean Paul Black's artistic talents, his singing ability, and his so called "reason for being kicked out of L.A. Guns years ago", in the media. To this day, this guy Lewis is sooo insecure and ungrateful for what he was literally handed on a silver platter, he can't help himself from discreditting the guy he replaced and stole music from. Phil wasn't satisfied with just stealing Black's songs, his vocal style, and his place as lead singer of L.A. Guns. That wasn't enough. He actually has the audacity to criticize Black (unprovoked) for years everywhere in the media. Paul's life, his career (being buried in lawsuits for years over the stolen songs cost him any chance to further his musical way with later bands), his everything was destroyed by L.A. Guns, and specifically the band's label,Tracii, Phil, and even Steve Riley later on. These guys are as dishonest, disrespectful, and pathetic of human beings as you can ever find. Yet their "fans" gloss over all the bands' shortcomings and act as if they are some class act. This band has had absolutely NO integrity or care or respect for other musicians or human beings in general. And I am only making reference to thir horrible treatment of Paul Mars Black. L.A. Guns has hurt, mistreated, and betrayed MANY other musicians/artists over the years. But hey, they must think that their rewriting of their own history/past/bio will cover their asses for all the horrible things they've done and all the people they used and hurt over the years…>

My uncle played with Riley during his Steppenwolf days, said his "Timing was Horrible, plus never took a BAND seriously", he wouldn't have lasted 1 set with Shania's band.. Phil is and WILL ALWAYS be a Killer Vocalist

Hey ma. Greay clip. Hope all is well with you, amigo. I love your interviews. You actually let the artists speak and tell their stories. Just saw LA Guns in the Philly area with KKs Priest, and Burning Witches. Awesome show. Phil can still sing!! And Tracii is still a beast on guitar

Rip and tear!

I got to meet and talk with Phil Lewis prior to a LA Guns show, and he was such a genuinely nice guy. Very down to earth.

LOL Damn wisconsin Come to indiana lol

Now that Steve is gone 😢 This takes on a whole different meaning. LA Guns is really Phil to me. But Kelly always seemed like a good luck charm to me for LA Guns and Faster Pussycat. I guess I was wrong Shit

I love la guns but they unfortunately weren't consistent enough with their writing. That's why they weren't as big a gnr. They are sort of a b-sides band. They definitely had a great original sound. It just wasn't developed enough. I don't mean polished just maybe they should have written more material.

I think this band would have been bigger than Guns and Roses if they would have kept Nikki Beats

Really have enjoyed your channel and the interviews..Thank you so much for all the time and effort into these cool chats

I had forgotten about that! 😂

Not enough cowbell for my liking! And I was also severly disappointed when the smell of hairspray didn't immediately manifest after the 1st opening when pulling the vinyl from the cover. With this being a "hair" band, this should be a given!

Steve R Past Away
