Cocked n loaded is my favorite LA GUNS ALBUM

Love this stuff man !! Thanks for doing this . Could we get some more of crazy or funny groupie stories

I’m 44 . I still stand firm that 1989 was the crest of the genre . Motley had Feelgood , Aerosmith had Pump , Tesla Great Radio . Introduced us to Skid Row , Warrant , Dangerous Toys . Great White Twice , Cult Sonic , Faster Pussycat masterpiece Wake Me . And of course Cocked was great Rip Tear , Never Enough , Jayne , and I still dig Magdalene .

Dig your stories keep em coming lol

Love these fireside chats!

I'm half way through and just want to say this is gold. Keep writing and keep at it in regards to screenplay I believe there's a huge market for this. Awesome sharing with us. TY!!

Times have changed! I remember when tattoos were really looked down on. I was definitely there as a fan! It was always about the music to me. Kelly was more then respectful when I met him. Took time to talk to me and take a pic. I think some bands could tell the true female fans apart from groupies. Some couldn’t. I was treated like crap many times from other bands just because I was female. I hated the groupie thing. I always had to explain I was into the music and it stopped there! I still had so many great times and have wonderful memories, including meeting Kelly. Thanks for sharing! Love your stories! It always takes me back. 💜🤘🏻🧙🏻‍♀️

Another great video! Take care!🙏🏼

Were you on the 1992 tour? I was 15 years old Was supposed to see la guns in cleveland but i had gotten sick, ended up being really sick had 8 surgeries Lost all of my colon It sucked I gave one of my nurses my tickets. I dunno who set it up but was lying in my hospital bed and i got a phone call It was PHIL LEWIS He was so awesome and talked to me for awhile Then he said We have a new drummer “ Bones” and he put him on the phone. At the time cuts was not out yet so i had no idea who he was. It didn’t matter i was still stoked i had just talked to Phil. Still one of the best days ever

Duude itd be soo wild if she turned up in the comment section haha!! Sig your stories bro thank you!

I used to work with several bands and some pop acts; Anywhere from back line set-up, drum tech, to bus driver to Road Manager assistant. I could share some insane stories too. I enjoyed this.

Always great stories. Thanks for sharing with all of us.

Love your stories. Fun times!! Although I wasn't a groupie, I share some wacky tour bus stories on my channel too..

Crazy story! Keep these coming!

I didn’t forget about you in fact I’ve been wondering about you when you were going to upload again fantastic man it going to another great story time And by the way I’m in Kansas

Another great vid.

It wasnt that long after this that the railroad car hotel was completely scrapped. The venue is still there but completely restored as an office building. Also congrats on pronouncing "Wilke-Barre" correctly....you are one of the few who do.

Choo-choo Inn, Wiles Barre, PA

Love it awesome story!

Another great story! I listen to your stories in total spellbound silence. Thank you!!

Hey road dog I just wanted to say I really enjoy these stories man, it's like a buddy talking at a bar or a campfire man.. Thanks for this as all the bands you are talking about I am a huge fan of. Looking forward to the next one

Can you speak on your time as front man of the band Sweet Pain with Kelly Nickels on bass?

Awesome thanks! I’d also love to hear about your time with sweet pain. You gonna do one about that?

Another great video! Did you think LA guns got labeled as a Guns N Roses copycat and that hurt them, or did you think they were truly their own kind of band?

Can we get a video about stories from the best concerts you've been to (as a fan)?

Alot of psychos with pretty faces floating around out there....

I saw them open for acdc at Madison square garden 1991

“Mentally unstable, hopped up on drugs” and that was just the guys INSIDE the bus!

Sounds like Kelly had a knack for getting in trouble with big blondes….

I am a huge music fan, I use to get so upset when I would be referred to as a groupie back then, but didn’t stop me from standing in long lines to enjoy the bands.

Really curious on your opinion of the band(s) today LA Guns and Steve Riley's LA Guns? I recently saw a show on KZfaq of Steve's version and I could be wrong but it looked like someone other than Kelly was playing bass. Like I said I could be wrong. Also there was a show in Florida with Phil and Tracii where they just skipped out. For an outsider it seems these guys are very erratic when it comes to professionalism. I met the guys on many occasions in many different forms of the band. I have to say Phil was always hospitable. I can't say the same for Tracii but his talent is incredible. Steve always seemed intimidated by the fans.

Great story... & now we know why LA Guns didn't become as big as Guns & Roses (just kidding). You're doing a great job explaining life on the road because well... you were there. Not exactly sure the fascination with the girls. It's just like liquor. You've got your bottom shelf & your top shelf. For you fishing guys, carp & a trophy bass. But still, your carp is probably gonna look a lot better than what you might see today overall (average). Look at the photos. Also, women took good care of ourselves & it mattered we were beautiful & feminine (no tats). There were girls that would work there way up through roadies & some were asked/selected. Also, some were there because of "who" the guys were (groupies) & yes there were "band aids". They were fans that happened to be girls that loved the music. Question? If you were asked to go meet & party with the band would you go? Yes, there were women who liked drugs & rock-n-roll just as much as the guys. Why? Because it was a really good time. They can even talk the tech lingo with you. Also, don't think every back stage pass ended up in sex. Maybe, those asking wanna know crazy things girls would do or did?? Debauchery? I guessed correctly who the dirty dogs were (Phil & Tracii). You just know. Marriage happened but I'd like to see how many of those marriages lasted. Yes, some girls would travel for a while on the road. Saw a girl suitcase in hand get on the AC/DC bus. Hope this helps from a female perspective. It was a different time & it was the best time.

You are so damn right...tattoos these days are so over abused it is ridiculous...I mean I have more than few but it really started to becoming pathetic esp the last 10+yrs. Back in the day only real men wore them...anyway I miss those days...very inspiring times..

This would have been at the FM Kirby Center which is still there and still hosts various events and concerts. Market Street square is where the old train station was located. The station is still there but all boarded up now.

Yeah, I had a friend who was a writer and he got a book published about the Coen Brothers. I know it can be a challenge, especially without the right connections. I know books, or at least I think I do, lol, regarding what sells or what is interesting pop culture, and the 80s are pretty hot right now. Seems like the millennial generation is intrigued with the times with no cell phones.... and your book sounds like a great rock n roll story.

I agree . 1989 was it .

Finally some groupie stories 👍🏻 Sex, Booze and Tattoos! Keep the stories coming.

Good story. Times are so different. I perfer women lookin like women. Enuff of the tattoos ladies u.look too ruff now ur not dudes be a feminine chick
