Hard rock, motorcycles, 80s and 90s! The best way to live, I miss this world ❤️‍🔥🔥

[@briansauer6695]

Me too! 56 now, still putting on the miles and rocking hard, enjoying life, but that seemed liked such a magical time!What is cool is that many of the bands I listened to at the time are still around putting out music and the ones that aren't, have been filled in with lots of good, younger bands. I was sure that good hard rock an metal was going to die out by the time I got to this age, but I'm still enjoying a lot of the stuff that comes out!

[@mitchelnorton2692]

Saw these guys on their Cocked And Loaded tour with London Quire Boys opening. Tiny club in Council Bluffs Iowa.

[@spacejockey4746]

90s barely

[@dillonk6572]

A teenage boy use to listen to this. Today that teen is now 50.

[@brandonyoung2894]

Yes sir! I as well. Traci Guns had some blistering guitar solos

[@michaelmetal71]

same here bro,i play guitar 🎸 so i’m learning these songs watching tracii guns play it on riff lords

[@rolandreyes1128]

Me too I was 20 then and 52 now

[@williambranch2794]

Lol, 51 and still listening.

[@garylang3379]

Just found this after 30 yrs of not hearing la guns , wow getting old is rough, but this makes me feel 18 again , thx LA GUNS

[@jmacc9876]

Even if this band wasn't as well known as they should have been, this was a top ten guitar riff of the 80's for me for sure.

[@maxxxmodelz4061]

Man, I remember I used to try like hell to get my friends into this band back then. No one wanted to hear it. Guns N Roses had just exploded with Welcome To The Jungle, and they were about to be the biggest band in the world for a few years and LA Guns flew under the radar until Ballad Of Jayne. It's a shame because they had 3 bangers off this album that could have been huge hits.

[@johnstrika9170]

Totally agree. I wasn't a huge fan of LA Guns back in the day, but this riff.... legendary

[@michaelbrinks8089]

​@@maxxxmodelz4061I really like the music 🎶 part of this but just can't get into the singing, lyrics or song structure. His voice isn't bad but seems odd for this song. Kinda hard to describe. Like I'd much rather just jam out to the music without the singing or song. Sorta like King Diamond, the music rocks but the constant falsetto/high voice gets annoying to me. But I guess other hard core KD fans love his constant falsettos.

[@lewasil]

Listen to Dr. FEELGOOD riff. It sounds quite similar. ❤❤

[@sammyinbrooklyn]

Agreed

[@FredFerdberger]

The two bands will forever be linked in Rock N Roll history. GNR certainly gained much more fame, but LA GUns is a really good band.

[@VooDooBuddhaHead]

Traci,very underrated guitarist!

[@johnnyrivera5916]

For Sure, one of the coolest guitar players that I ever met!!

[@Tat2Dragons]

Now you know you're a bad ass when you roll with ALF on your bike.:) Great song, I really dig Tracii's lead guitar work on this track.

[@johnnyrivera5916]

One of my favorite guitar solos ever, I wish Young Guitarist would still play solos like this smh

[@shmoogie31]

Dude, I love that he's riding with ALF!! 🤘❤🤣

[@kellyroe6833]

This song will never get old. Everytime I get on my bike it's in my head. Rock on LA GUNS

[@nothx962]

Was there anyone cooler than these guys on planet earth 1988? I was born in August of 88 but I would add 20 years to my age right now to have been out there ripping on harleys, clad out in denim & leather with these guys. So glad Tracii and Phil reunited for us all. They still put their peers of that era TO SHAME.

[@nothx962]

:32 anyone else get goosebumps? Drop that clutch and rip it fellas!

[@kylesmith9944]

Axl and Slash were much cooler!!!lol

[@Nudiescorner]

It was an awesome time...all my friends were musicians and we all looked like this...every single night was another band to see...it was phenomenal ❤

[@slowpoketony]

I used to see this video on the headbangers ball. my favorite band as a teenager

[@burned..away..]

Totally underrated IMO

[@claeswikberg8958]

Damn this song still kicks ass! ah to be young again...

LA Guns + ALF = The best combination ever

[@AnnahRoberts76]

Kelly Nickels says he still has that Alf doll. lol

[@aaronkamrat6409]

I caught that😂 born in April 1988 I had the same one!!!!!!

[@bobsilver3983]

The 80's was a big party, glad I made it out, many didn't. Excess Excess Excess

[@erict7185]

Bob Silver I'm still here...not sure i've made it out yet....(liver screaming)

[@THEATREofPAIN270]

Amen to that. Long live the 80's, The 10 year party.

[@metalmom63]

+Bob Silver That's because there were no cell phones and internet to record all the stupid shit we did !! LOL We had a great time !! My kids call me time warp Mom because I never left the 80's!!

[@THEATREofPAIN270]

Metalmom63. Im known as "Flashback Jack" lol. Because I always talk about the good old days and the greatest decade EVER. "The 80's"

[@mistermackey638]

Some people would say that the 60's or 70's were the real party. I think Studio 54 has the Cathouse beat, personally. I guess it depends on when you yourself were in your prime. Whoever you are, the big party is always during your late 10's-early 30's.

[@scottedwards6026]

Hadn't listened to this in 20 years, tis' now my daily commute. Great album and they backed it up with Cocked'n'Loaded, one of the most underrated albums of that time. We wax lyrical about the 'good old days', but lets be honest, they were. Not stuck in the past but not many of today's bands come close to matching the quality of the halcyon days of late 80's early 90's.

[@ZeeboLaywicker]

no they don't..that was a great time to grow up. they laugh about the hair bands but that was some awesome music! it was an awesome time for sure--glad I was there to see a small part of it..:)

[@dnowitzki]

Scott Edwards no kidding....it's really amazing that a band like LA Guns kind of flew under the mainstream radar at the time, but compared to the shit today, it's like gold

[@michaeloedy1568]

Maybe one difference is that the "way of life" is accepted. I just saw Greta Van Fleet in Detroit. By today's standards, it doesn't get any more "fresh" than them. Clearly they are students of the American rock scene. Four young men out of Frankenmuth MI. I'm not knocking them cause they are good, but their grandparents where at the show. They have one EP out and are traveling in a $200,000 private and customized rig. It's tough to be edgy when there is no edge. Does this make sense?

[@sallyb1689]

It’s the definitive sleaze metal album of the era as far as I’m concerned. Beyond amazing!

[@KingKull1971]

Thats because back in the 80's you actually had to know how to play and write your own songs. Gene Simmons said that Rock n Roll died after this era. He's pretty much correct.

[@Doobie1975]

love the sound of the train horns from the legendary Santa Fe Railroad, of course I love this killer song, wish they would've gotten to be as huge as bands like Poison, Motley Crue and Guns 'N Roses

[@AlexanderDeLarge-mm8nj]

This band, this song and the lyrics are the shizzle!!! Underrated band.. The '80's rule!! Crankin it up to 11!

[@michaelbevelhymer9607]

80"s ONE HELL OF A RIDE.

[@nothx962]

First 35 seconds give me goosebumps. Imagine being young, good looking, rich, and jumping on some bikes filming a video like this...and the riff is insane. These guys were the real deal. Makes me miss my 78 ironhead...luckily im 29 so not quite old yet ;) this shit needs to come back

[@emello4you]

Hell I miss my 1978 Firebird zipping down the road blaring music like this with my cool pilot sun glasses.

omg i read about this band in SLASH'S book and now i cant get enough of them! its a shame over here in aussie melbourne we cant buy cd's of them, there like not even heard of! gread band though i loven them and wish i was bourne in the 70s on 90s so i could see them in the prime!

[@jodimalotki9502]

yeah the 80s were the greatest! We partied hard and fast, lucky I made it out alive!! Wouldn't change it for anything! Times were good and we could get away with alot more back then! Very grateful for the lovely internet so I can go back in time for just a little while and think of all of the wild nights (and days) I've lived. It's a nice break from today's craziness!!

[@RochelleEskue]

+baghead777 - Everybody loved ALF!! :-DD

[@Druffmaul]

It was kind of a fad for a little while. Not ALF specifically, just stuffed animals in general. You'd go to gigs and there'd be a stuffed animal sitting on top of the guitar amp or on the bass drum or whatever. I think that was around this time, late 80s...

[@baghead777]

Druffmaul No.. It was ALF

[@Druffmaul]

[@mocker56789]

All you older guys are lucky, you got to grow up with this as popular good music and through the party that was the 80's. Im 19 and all i get for new music is shit. With the exception of the older bands still producing and a few new ones like Airbourne. Also Steel Panther but its more parody, still one of my favorites. Don't look up Steel Panther if you're easily offended.

[@thezombie7839]

+Aaron Blom It's odd, man. In the '80s, we didn't realize how cool it was. A lot of us wished we had grown up in the late 60s with "free love" and lots of booze and drugs. We didn't know we were doing it even better. lol Maybe your generation is going to do it even better.

[@mocker56789]

Perhaps, but I strongly doubt it. My generation seems to be a write off.

[@thezombie7839]

Aaron Blom All you can do is try, brother. lol Seriously, there are good bands out there and good people.

[@yamanpro]

+Aaron Blom new music isnt shit, the only new music you know must be shit, thats different. the only music out there isnt the mainstream music... there are plenty of other good bands and artists. BUT if you only like 80's hard rock/heavy metal, then yeah you'll have a hard time. Dont look for music on youtube, you'll get stuff based on view numbers. look deeper, go in forums and pages, where people share the music they like. Or even simpler, have a small music group on facebook or something with your friends and share good music you find with each other. It's the age of information, use the internet.

[@mocker56789]

I've got some European Metal bands I really enjoy coming up with new stuff but for the classic sound I've only found Airborne and Steel Panther.
