L.A. Guns is a rock band from Los Angeles, California, originally formed in 1983 and continuing on today. During the 1980s the band's first two albums gained some commercial success, though historically the band is perhaps most noteworthy because its original members went on to form Guns N' Roses.There are currently two bands touring as L.A. Guns, as of 2006. One fronted by Phil Lewis, the other fronted by Paul Black (featuring Tracii Guns).
