L.A. Guns is a band that has had a long and storied history, from their initial formation in 1983 to the brief moment when they joined with Axl Rose and became known as Guns N’ Roses to Tracii Guns leaving Guns N’ Roses after conflict with Rose and then forming a second version of L.A. Guns. Unfortunately, L.A. Guns’s history is so intertwined with Guns N’ Roses that it is sometimes overlooked that L.A. Guns could rock just as much as Axl’s band.
At the same time that Guns N’ Roses were releasing their first music videos and making their mark on MTV, L.A. Guns released their video for One More Reason, one of the most apocalyptic looks at Los Angeles ever put on film.
This video was directed by Ralph Ziman, who has also worked with Ozzy Osbourne, Toni Braxton, and Faith No More.
Enjoy!
Had the pleasure of seeing L.A. Guns at LEAST a dozen times over the years – different iterations of the band. In 2017 I took some pictures and videos of their show at the House of Rock in Santa Rosa:
