...paul do original versions of l.a.guns tunes (with the different lyrics), but that's about it... save for the bass player (?), this is the version of l.a.guns before the band got signed...

are you kiddin´, Gn´R went really big after this guy left the band., he just add the "guns" to the name, anyway he wasnt even in gnr , he was in hollywood rose and clearly´s not the same. Tracy should start to think in gettin back to LA guns (those guys are playin´out there) instead playing a greatest crap of... what a waste of talent and time.

>Tracii was never in Guns n Roses. >Back when he was in the band it was called >Hollywood Rose.
Tracii Guns => L.A. Guns, Axl Rose => Hollywood Rose => Tracii GUNS and Axl ROSE. See the point?

Tracii Guns was Indeed in Guns n' Roses. It was called guns n roses, and he was the guitarist. Short period of time though.

Tales from the strip is better than Cocked n Loaded...or Hollywood Vampires.

>Tracii was never in Guns n Roses. Back when he was in the band it was called Hollywood Rose. Nut I may be wrong, T-boner, correct me if I am.
--Hollywood Rose (Axl Rose & Izzy Stradlin) and LA Guns (Tracii Guns) came together to form GN'R.
>but traci is just scrathing the bottom of the barrel here its like that steven adler band and the bullsjit ratt bands washed up long ago..... this is 2006
--He tours because he likes it. It's fun, and he travels. He doesn't tour to please any prissy little bitches.
>tracii needs to be a greeter at walmart.
--He has money to hold him up for his life. He doesn't need to be like you.
>are you kiddin´, Gn´R went really big after this guy left the band., he just add the "guns" to the name, anyway he wasnt even in gnr , he was in hollywood rose and clearly´s not the same.

--Wrong. He was never in Hollywood Rose. Get your facts straight before you open your trap.
>Tracii Guns => L.A. Guns, Axl Rose => Hollywood Rose => Tracii GUNS and Axl ROSE. See the point?
>Guns was indeed part of an official Guns N Roses lineup, and that is what the band was called. It was Axl, Traci, Duff, Izzy, and Rob Gardner on drums. At the time, Axl used the name "W Axl Roses.
This was about 1985-1986ish. This was when the new GNR band was still playing clubs and such. But yes, he was a part and a co-founder of the Guns N' Roses name.
