By bouncing from rock to grunge to pop it flows like a creek blocked off by a beaver dam.

Buckcherry‘s “Crazy Bitch” was released just over three years ago! Who in their right mind would decide we need another version of it already?Īnother problem with Covered In Guns is the song selection. Choosing a bunch of songs that you can hear on the radio daily makes this a completely useless release, even more so when you figure that L.A. Guns resurrecting April Wine, or worse yet Matthew Wilder? I doubt it. Is there anyone in the entire world that was salivating at the thought of L.A. Unlike 2004’s Rip The Covers Off in which the band put their own stamp on the covers, this new CD offers absolutely nothing to a handful of radio staples.Ĭovers albums are usually hit and miss to begin with, but when you don’t add anything different to the original recordings what is the point? Listening to Covered In Guns is not only painful but halfway through I got so pissed off I wanted to reach through the stereo, grab the guitar, and club each band member over the head while screaming, ‘WTF where you thinking?’ That’s how bad this CD is… it’s not only a joke, but a complete slap in the face of fans who have loyally followed L.A. Guns moniker isn’t enough, Covered In Guns just drags the once highly regarded name deeper into the mud. As if warring factions resulting in two bands using the L.A.

L.a. guns break my stride
