L.A. Guns - 50 CD Music Collection - Band & Related Projects

[@jonathonholm8737]

Motley Crue mega fan here, recently really getting into LA Guns and this video introduced me to Brides of Destruction and wow I absolutely love that first album!

[@BrendonSnyder]

Cool! I’m glad you were able to find something new from the video! 👍

[@razormangaming]

Every LA gun's album is a gem

[@BrendonSnyder]

They certainly are! Which is your favorite beyond their first 4 major label releases?

[@bobbyw1510]

The guy who loves every band every album and every song. He hasn't heard a band ever that he does not love. Amazing.

[@WillowRedDog]

I really like when you do these types of episodes. When I first saw and met L.A. Guns back in 1988, (they were opening for AC/DC on the Blow Up Your Video tour), Sweet Pain vocalist Corky Gunn was acting as their tour manager. My friend John and I, having copies of the Sweet Pain album and knowing Kelly Nickels connection to both bands, recognized him immediately. We had a great conversation with them about the Sweet Pain days, and I also had an equally great conversation with Phil Lewis about Girl. The whole band were very cool.

[@BrendonSnyder]

Hey that’s a great story and I’m glad to get a little more info on the band. Very little info online. Was the album ever issued to CD?

[@WillowRedDog]

@@BrendonSnyder - Discogs says there was an unofficial Italian (re - bootleg) release on CD back in 2007. I only ever saw it on LP and Cassette.

[@GlamprinceRockking]

I had la guns live in Boston 89. Rare.

[@BrendonSnyder]

Cool! 👍

[@briankessler3501]

Good morning, Brendon. Fifty seven trips around the sun for me today. 👍 Wifey got me Blue Oyster Cult box set of Columbia releases to mark it but I digress. Dude you are an encyclopedia of knowledge and always dig learning new stuff from you. The Ratt-Collage cd got shipped yesterday from Japan; bit pricey however is brand new copy and am leary of buying used since sellers tend to upgrade sometimes. Thank you, sir for another great clip. 💯

[@BrendonSnyder]

Happy Birthday! Took me a minute to catch the reference but I like it. That BOC box is really great! I love the two bonus discs. I own all the albums so during the pandemic I ordered those two bonus discs separately from eBay to add to my collection. I’m glad to hear you’re digging everything and learning a lot. That’s always been a main goal to share the knowledge on our favorite bands.

[@steveregutis9237]

Still say your ENUFF Z' NUFF collection video is the Best!!!!!☮️☮️☮️

[@jimmyr204]

My faves --- Cocked & Loaded, Waking the Dead, and Tales From The Strip. I still remember playing Cocked & Loaded for the first time. Can't go wrong with their self-titled debut either. Great band to see live!

[@BrendonSnyder]

Their first 3 albums are utter classics! All 3 of them are amazing.

[@peterb1277]

I came into LA Guns late. Living in Vegas I used to see Scott Griffin and Stacey Blades play around town and they would occasionally play a Guns song during their sets.

[@BrendonSnyder]

Well with Tracii and Phil back together, a live album being released in July and a bee studio album scheduled for November, now’s the time to get all caught up!

[@phrankzinatra]

Here's an interesting observation. The drummer, Steve Riley, before joining W.A.S.P., was in another band called The B'zz. From one stinger to another, huh? I have the B'zz "Get Up" on CD and it was extremely hard to find until Bad Reputation re-issued it last year (they had also re-issued it back in the early 2000's). The song "Get Up Get Angry" has to be heard to be believed, ending with one of the best screams ever to finish off a song.

[@BrendonSnyder]

I like your observation! Good one! Yes I’ve got the B’zz too. Great album. At the time when I bought it I had no idea he was part of the band. It was a nice surprise.

[@jake6887]

My favorites of that album are: 'Make it through the night' and 'Too much to ask For' If you like this album you also have to hear 'Little Monsters' by Holland.

[@phrankzinatra]

@@jake6887 I've heard it; quite a few good songs on there too, such as "Love In On Time" and "Wake Up The Neighborhood.". Tom Holland's voice is quite unique; wish he would've had more success.

[@Thunderstruckzzz]

Hi Brendon…wow ! So many albums that I never knew LA Guns has released ! I am really enjoying the latest two albums they have released. Wow so cool you hooked up Phil Lewis with those Girl cds ! I have a best of CD that does have the original recordings . It’s one of those 20 th Century Millennium ones that they released for a lot of bands. The new SunBomb released is excellent ! Fantastic video ! Thank you Brendon. Chez

[@BrendonSnyder]

Lots of lots of albums you can search out now. Regarding the 20th Century Best of, it’s not an album released by the band. It’s something the label did so I don’t count it. But yes there is that for original tracks too.

[@julistrauss870]

Awesome collection!! This is your best video yet! La Guns definitely my favorite band!! I drove around most of the 90's with a license plate that read "GUNSLVR". Wish I could put it on my current car but that might get me in trouble......

[@BrendonSnyder]

Love your vanity plate! But I wonder how many people just thought you were a member of the NRA and love actual guns instead of LA Guns! Haha

[@julistrauss870]

[@kevshort3068]

I really like these videos, even if it's of a band I'm not massively in to I love finding out about them since you know so much. I find your videos really relaxing watch too, something I often do when it comes to these collection style shoots!

[@BrendonSnyder]

Hi Kev! That’s very nice to hear, thanks for passing that along. I’m going to try and do more collection videos like this too.

[@steveverboom]

Great collection as always. Some more cool stuff I've never seen before. The Missing Peace was a huge comeback to me and got me back into the band. Love that album almost as much as the debut.

[@jefferysteen1041]

Wow!!50 CDs by L.A Guns!!That's incredible!I love this band!I have their debut, Cocked and Loaded,a greatest hits package and Hollywood Vampires!Kick ass!

[@BrendonSnyder]

You can’t go wrong with their first 3 albums! I recommend checking out their latest two reunion albums The Missing Peace and The Devil You Know.

[@jaredl.8465]

There is a 'best of' L.A. Guns. It was one of those 20th Century Masters compilations. But it's out of print and selling for $40+ on eBay right now.

[@BrendonSnyder]

Right, but I don’t count those as they’re not authorized by the band. Not a band release anyway.

[@trevor-johnsen]

Ultimate LA Guns falls under the same category of being a record company release, and there's no reason to believe it was authorized by the band

[@tarvinblankenshipgfaerlestrst]

L.A.Guns are great Phil and Traci with and excpetion for the Jizzy fronted album is pretty good too ,but very very nice collection the Contraband and League of Gents albums are cool nice to see someone go thru there official catalog but I'm firmly disagree with the Vicious Circle criticism it's a badass album ,also Waking the dead I breat too the ,'17 forward reunion stuff with Ohil and Tracii is amazing ❤❤

[@gregsimmons694]

Thanks for sharing! Saw La guns 5 times:) God bless all the rockers on flat earth and savior JESUS keep us safe always!

[@BrendonSnyder]

Be safe and don’t fall of the edge! Thankfully that won’t happen to me because I can fly “around” the world.

[@geneva1999]

Nice video, their artwork is really good. Always found it interesting how if you look included the collection of all the members that have ever been in the band and the other groups they have played in it's crazy long .. Keel, WASP, Girl, Odin, Guns N Roses, Faster Pussycat, Endeverafter, ect ... video would be a day long.

[@darrendcunha4667]

Contraband is a great album. I wish they had done more albums. Really liked their version of 'All the way from Memphis'. Can't believe it's been 30 years already.

[@BrendonSnyder]

I know what you mean Darren! Where has the time gone! I too wish Contraband had recorded a second album and that it had been entirely original material. Still they could do it but I don’t think it would be the same as if it had been recorded during the heyday of glam.

[@cezarmaatubang8236]

I have that Phil Lewis Access Denied but it's called The Liberators

[@BrendonSnyder]

Oh that’s right! I forgot that he had a short lived band called the Liberators. Thanks for reminding me. Yes what I have is the reissue with bonus tracks.

[@dimitriosmetalos]

@@BrendonSnyder the sound quality of the audio sample on Frontiers channel is low quality, so no judgements can been made at this point. I would like an official video clip to be released. Let's wait and see.

[@CrueLoaf]

Can you do a Lillian Axe chat, kind of go through their discography? They’ve had some classics but even when the ‘known’ singer left, the following albums are actually very interesting.

[@BrendonSnyder]

I do own all of the Lillian Axe and a whole bunch of side projects too. I’ll keep it in mind for a future video.

Yeah a completely crazy member changing saga and most people never know who’s in or out. Another great LA Guns album is Hollywood Vampires their 3rd album.

[@darrendcunha4667]

Hi Brendon, I have seen the Access Denied album listed as a CD release by Phil Lewis and as a CD release by The Liberators. Both releases with the same tracks. So I am confused. Was it marketed as a solo release and a band release. I have tried to find more information, but have not had any luck so far.

[@BrendonSnyder]

Yes exactly. It was a band first and then here in the US it was marketed as a solo album.

[@darrendcunha4667]

@@BrendonSnyder Thanks for clarifying that Brendon. I going to try and get this one for my collection.

[@babyscream]

I lost my Wasted cd. Gee. They should re release some of them. I'm a big fan of them, I am lacking some of these cds, but got most of them. Got to record 2 albums with Muddy who played bass on Man In The Moon, he produced my music in L.A. Genius dude. Loving your vids. btw What is that BOD cd? The first one you pull out. I do have the regular one, but Crab isn't there, I think he's in the credits though

[@michaelstreet9717]

Waking The Dead is the album that really rekindled my interest in the band. You didn’t apparently have the same opinion as me. Didn’t see you show the reissue of Shrinking Violet. If you don’t have that I suggest you put that on your list of CDs to look out for

[@BrendonSnyder]

The reissue of Shrinking Violet only added a couple live songs that wasn’t worth it for me to replace the original edition that I already own.

[@michaelstreet9717]

Fair enough. The reissue actually omits 1 track from the original album. I really like the live tracks and the remastered sound quality

[@VicRector]

Damn I'm jealous I've looked up all these albums and never found them all I did steal a few tracks because they were not available

[@BrendonSnyder]

Yeah they’re all very hard to find now. It’s interesting because at the time of collecting they weren’t rare. Just on small labels. But now 20 years later I had no idea these would be collectible. Just me following the band all the way through.
