According to LA Weekly Tracii Guns and Phil Lewis have signed a new record deal and are currently working on a new L.A. GUNS album, which will be supported by a world tour that begins with two shows at the Whisky a Go-Go in March.

45 different people have played in L.A. Guns since the group’s 1983 inception, including Axl Rose, Ralph Saenz (better known as Michael Starr of Steel Panther) and current Alice Cooper bassist Chuck Garric. But the two members who have always been most identified with the group are Lewis and the group’s namesake guitarist.

That’s precisely why Guns agreed to use the L.A. Guns moniker for the new album, despite initially resisting the idea. “When you put Phil and I together, that’s the sound of L.A. Guns,” he says. “There’s no way around that. As much as I love certain other [former] members of the band, it’s hard to say what their contribution to the overall sound of the band was — but Phil Lewis and Tracii Guns, the band’s gotta be L.A. Guns. It can’t be anything else.”
