L.A.Guns was the early incarnation of the legendary Guns N' Roses, formed in the early 80s and fronted by Axl Rose and Tracii Guns before both of them finally parted ways with Axl went on forming GNR and Tracii resurrected L.A.Guns. After some shuffling, the solid five men formation was eventually became the classic line up and released this debut in 1988 under Vertigo.

What I like about L.A.Guns is that they had the raw energy, sleazy attitude, and mainly rooted to the heaviness of early glam. Try pumping up the volume when you hit your player with "No Mercy", "Sex Action", and "One More Reason". Those really are unmerciful earth-scorching fantastic songs. Probably the only song that I didn't dig that much is the bluesy wail of "One Way Ticket" because I was just hoping for a full 11 blasting tracks from start to finish. Hearing to tracks such as "Electric Gypsy" or "Hollywood Tease" could make you feel standing and shouting in a packed Sunset Strip bar. After more than 20 years, this album remained their greatest record and nothing can top this sensational debut.
