L.A. Guns

L.A. Guns are an American hard rock band from Los Angeles, California, formed in 1983. As of 2014, the lineup consists of Phil Lewis (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Steve Riley (drums, percussion, backing vocals), Kenny Kweens (bass guitar, backing vocals), and Michael Grant (lead guitar, backing vocals). The first incarnation of the group was formed by Tracii Guns in 1983, but disbanded in 1984 following its merger with fellow Los Angeles group Hollywood Rose, becoming the first lineup of Guns N' Roses. In 1985, the group was reformed by Guns and singer Paul Black adding Mick Cripps and Nickey Alexander. Black would soon be replaced by former Girl singer Phil Lewis while former Faster Pussycat bassist Kelly Nickels was added to the group. Later, Alexander would be replaced by former W.A.S.P. drummer Steve Riley with this being known as the "classic lineup" of L.A. Guns. They achieved moderate chart success in the late 1980s and early 1990s. However, the group went through numerous lineup changes (with Riley being the most consistent member) and failed to regain mainstream attention.

L.A. Guns (album)

L.A. Guns is the debut album of the band L.A. Guns. This album was released in 1988. Following the success of the second album, Cocked & Loaded, this album reached gold status in the US.

Despite appearing in the band photo and album credits, Steve Riley was not the drummer for the band during the recording of this album, having replaced his predecessor Nickey "Beat" Alexander between the recording and release of the album; also many of the songs were co-written by the band's previous vocalist Paul Black, although he was not credited on the album itself.

The album includes several remakes, including "Hollywood Tease" (previously done by singer Phil Lewis's old band Girl), and "Shoot For Thrills" (previously done by bass guitarist Kelly Nickels's old band Sweet Pain).

Torme, which was one of Phil Lewis's pre-L.A. Guns bands, had previously recorded a song titled "Sex Action", but they are two different songs with the same title. The L.A. Guns song of this name was featured on the NBC show Parks and Recreation in the episode "Tom's Divorce".

Wild Obsession

by: L.A. Guns

With your long black hair
Fallin' down your face
Red lips and lethal pout
Send me to heaven
Seein' is believin'
Baby, you're so strange
Something about you makes me sweat
When I call your name
Oh oh oh oh
Goin' nowhere
Oh oh oh oh
Gettin' further out of control
Wild Obsession - in the heat of the night
Wild Obsession - and baby you know it ain't right
She's got the sun and the moon in a velvet glove
Showers of diamonds fall from high above
She's a vicious queen
She's a little girl
I know she's a cornerstone of the underworld
Oh oh oh oh
Goin' nowhere
Oh oh oh oh
Gettin' further out of control
Wild Obsession - in the heat of the night
Wild Obsession - and we both know it ain't right
Wild Obsession - runnin' beneath the neon stars
Wild Obsession - Tearin' us all apart
Oh oh oh oh
Goin' nowhere
Oh oh oh oh
Gettin' further out of control
Wild Obsession - in the heat of the night
Wild Obsession - and we both know it ain't right
Wild Obsession
