I think W.A.S.P. definitely has the edge in overall discography. Love both bands though. :beerbang:

Im a huge fan of both bands but those first two or three LA Guns discs are almost flawless and Waking Dead is up there two but WASP might have 2 or 3 more great albums but have also put out more albums.

Nothing against WASP who I do like a lot, but it was a clean sweep for LA Guns for me. All good CDs, but consistently better songs from LA Guns inmho.

I don't know all the CDs and there isn't an option to vote in some categories and not others, so one or two of my votes are guesses. Some good LA Guns CDs, especially 'Hollywood Vampires', which is awesome. Had to vote for the W.A.S.P. debut and 'Headless Children' though, both great albums.

I agree, but the production on L.A. Guns s/t could have been better.

LA Guns over WASP but just barely.

 

Cocked and Loaded over Last Command and again just barely.

 

Hollywood Vampires over Electric Circus. "Over the Edge" just is the best song of the two discs and with "Dirty Love" and others the LAG is a better album.

 

Headless Children over Vicious Circle. VC is really cool but HC is a f@#king classic and is flawless IMO.

 

Man in the Moon over Helldorado. Hell was a nice throwback and had three great songs but man the lyrics were horrible and to me that album kind of proved that sometime it's better not to go back in time and to keep moving forward. Man in the Moon took the classic LAG sound and mixed it with an early 70's Free/Stones/Zeppelin vibe and the sound was great IMO and it was Phils return. Great underrated disc IMO.

 

Double Live Assasins over Nite on the Strip. DLA was and is a killer live album and for those that hate KFD made those songs sound even better in the live setting plus getting the cool medleys was awesome two.

 

Babylon over Tales but it's almost a draw. Both are very good albums but not great but I think Tales while having Andy Johns produce again suffered with no budget and being on Shrapnel and wasn't as good as the prior studio disc Waking the Dead. Babylon had the nice Four Horsemen theme and outside of the Chuck Berry cover was almost flawless with a great cover of DP's "Burn".

 

Waking the Dead over Dominator by a million miles. Dom was cool but not as good as WTD which was a nice throwback to the LAG glory days but with a great production job from Johns and would have fit nicely between Cocked and Loaded and Vampires.

Pretty easy for me. LA Guns on all accounts except Headless children by WASP as thats my favourite WASP album, and Vicious Circle, while a great album came up against the one WASP album that had a chance of beating it. The live ones I really couldnt give two shits about though, so the Guns one gets the vote as its got better songs on for me.

Only other chance WASP would have had is if there was an option for Crimson Idol vs American hardcore .. the biggest steaming shit in the whole LA Guns catalogue.

    • No official release yet so don't know when exactly the album is supposed to come out but I'm assuming it's this year. I'm sure you're all brimming with excitement.
    • I posed him that exact question on his discord page as to what his future plans are.... He said he plans to relax for a bit, do his You Tube thing, keep writing new music and then will decide how to release that music.  He said as of now he's thinking he'll either do a solo thing or form his own band.  He didn't say this but I'd sort of envision a Daughtry type "band" where he kind of puts a band behind his name. So essentially, I think you're right on with his plans.  Ultimately, I think like you say, the control is a big part of it.  I think he wants to be able to operate on his own schedule to maintain his health and family obligations. It'll be interesting to see what sound the new material takes on.  It would seem logical to think it would be rock/melodic rock of some sort since that's really the type of music he's built his following with but he certainly has shown he can dabble anywhere from AOR to metal.
    • Glad I got to see them with Erik in front. All the best to him, definitely looking forward to his future outings when he is fully recovered. Would be cool to see him form his own band, where he could take control, and play around in different genres, from full on metal, to soothing AOR, the guy is so versatile.
    • Remedy - Crying Heart. One I've just seen thanks to the Iridium channel.  From the upcoming album. It's a Killer.     
    • Let's not forget Benny Hill. What a Magnificent show that was.    
    • Yeah... I dunno about that. It would be too cringe. Who knows? If I'm high enough, I might submit a video. 
    • Yep great track and if you fancy being in the video for "The Feeling" nows your chance.  
    • I'm proud to say that I had this single when I was a mere 8 years old. KISS were big down here then. Norman Gunston is Iconic for Aussies of my vintage.  The face ln the bottom left says it all. Hilarious.     
    • All in all, this is a great story. Erik played a brilliant, well received, albeit short cameo with one of our favourite bands.  It was a win, win, win. A win for us, a win for Skid Row (the album certainly put them back on the map) and a win for Erik, adding this to his already impressive resume. The fact that it was so amicable with both parties is also great to see.
    • I really like this album - not every song on it but there are some surprisingly catchy melodies all over. Personally I think the singer adds great energy to the mix. It reminds me of the earlier Bai Bang ("closer to you")
