The lineup currently consists of Tracii Guns (lead guitar), Phil Lewis (lead vocals), Ace Von Johnson (rhythm guitar, backing vocals), Johnny Martin (bass, backing vocals), Adam Hamilton (studio drums) and Shawn Duncan (live drums). The first incarnation of the group was formed by Tracii Guns and Rob Gardner in 1983 and merged with fellow Los Angeles group, Hollywood Rose, to form Guns N' Roses in March 1985. After only a brief tenure in that band, Guns reformed L.A. Guns with a new lineup, consisting of Paul Black, Mick Cripps, Robert Stoddard, 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.

The "classic lineup" of the group would reunite in 1999 and began recording new material. However, the group continued to change lineups and Guns eventually left to form the hard rock supergroup Brides of Destruction with Nikki Sixx of Mötley Crüe in 2002. L.A. Guns continued without Guns, bringing in guitarist Stacey Blades, however, following his decision to put Brides of Destruction on hiatus in 2006, Guns formed The Tracii Guns Band. The group's lineup consisted of former L.A. Guns members Black, Alexander as well as Jeremy Guns (though the lineup would eventually change), with the group eventually changing their name to L.A. Guns. Both groups continued to record and tour under the L.A. Guns moniker until 2012, when the Tracii Guns-led version of the group disbanded. Riley died in 2023.

L.A. Guns (feat. Tracii Guns and Phil Lewis) released a new single "Let You Down" on May 6, 2020. It was released as the first single from their then-upcoming fourteenth studio album Checkered Past, which was released on November 12, 2021, and featured producer Adam Hamilton on drums.

In May 2022, it was announced that Shawn Duncan had replaced Shane Fitzgibbon as their drummer. In the following month, guitarist Ace Von Johnson revealed that L.A. Guns had been working on new material for their next studio album. The resulting album, Black Diamonds, was released on April 14, 2023.

The Ballad
L.A. Guns Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

A ray of light
Star shines down
Burning bright
Without a sound
The queen of angels
Take your crown
Yeah, shine on
You fly so high

Don't ever come down
Shine on
And every moment
Slips away
Doing my best trying to
Keep away
An innocence lost
The queen of sound
In the cold morning frost
We lay you gently down
Down, down, yeah
Shine on
And all the things you wished you'd said
Echoing inside your head
I cannot live I cannot die
Nothing left to do but try
I'm falling underneath your spell
Lift you up from your own hell
Numb yourself now from the pain
Wandering out in the rain
You fly so high
Don't ever come down
Queen of angels
Take your crown
An innocence lost
The queen of sound
In the cold morning frost
We lay you gently down
You fly so high
Don't ever come down

In the cold morning frost
We lay you gently down

Overall Meaning

The Ballad by L.A. Guns is a touching tribute to someone who has passed away but still lives on through their light and spirit. The song paints a picture of a shining star or a queen of angels whose light burns bright even after she's gone. The lyrics use imagery of a star and angel in order to create a sense of transcendence and purity, while the use of the phrase "queen of sound" adds a feeling of regality and dignity. The song acknowledges the loss of this person's innocence, but also honors her memory by saying "you fly so high, don't ever come down."

Throughout the song, the lyrics convey a sense of longing for this person who has passed away. The repetition of "shine on" and "you fly so high" emphasizes the idea that this person's spirit is still present and shining brightly, like a star. The chorus also implores her to "shine on" and to never come down from her place in the heavens. The last stanza of the song talks about the pain of missing someone and not being able to say the things we wish we had said while they were still alive. Overall, The Ballad is a poignant and heartfelt tribute to someone who will forever shine on in the hearts of those who loved her.

She was always something special
Diamond shining bright in the rain
Everybody dreams of angels
No one would ever know
How much I love you so
Now it all seems funny, kinda like a dream
Things ain't always what they seem
What a shame, what happened to Jayne
You were always on my mind
Shine like a summer day in the sun
Slowly wishes turn to sadness
Time don't heal a broken gun
I wish I never let you go
Even now I just want you to know
That it all seems funny, kinda like a dream
Things ain't always what they seem
What a shame, what happened to Jayne
Now she's breakin' hearts in heaven
Shinin' bright in the sky
I still hear her voice in the wind
I still think of you in the night, oh yeah
Well I guess you'll never know
How much I need her so
Now it all seems funny, kinda like a dream
Things ain't always what they seem
What a shame
What happened to Jayne
Now it all seems funny, kinda like a dream
Things ain't always what they seem
What a shame, what happened to Jayne

I’m a 19 year old guitarist. I have the image of an 80’s rockstar. I look a lot like Tommy Lee. Tall skinny. Long permed hair. Earrings, long cross earring.

I IDOLIZE THE 80’s. I would love to start an old school 80’s sounding band, but a lot of young people don’t want that. They prefer all that 90’s grunge alternative rock nirvana shit.

Saw them in 2002. My son was five and this was his favorite band. The venue was adults only, so I brought a CD to get signed. My son drew a picture of a dragon for Tracii Guns. Tracii went straight to the tour bus after the show. Got the other band members' signatures and asked if they could give the pic to Tracii. The manager took me to the tour bus and Tracii was kind enough to sign the CD and put the picture on a wall of pics on the bus. Such nice guys. My son still has this CD (I put it in his Easter basket that year).

My best friends mother’s name was Jane. I’m an only child and I grew up sleeping on their couch most weekends. She was a second mother to me. She died of cancer when we were 21 and she was 41. I still think about her most every day, and this song has special meaning to me. I’m 50 now and it’s hard to believe I’m so much older today than she was when she died. And he’s still my best friend. If I would have had a daughter, I would have asked his permission to name her Jane. Hold the ones you love close, it can change in a moment. I love you mama.

Man it's scary how similar your story is to mine. My best friends momma was named Jane and she died of stomach cancer when I was 19. 1993. She was hard on us but fair and was a great lady. I don't think she liked me very much but I always admired her strength. He and I would always make it home for headbangers ball every Saturday night and she would let us crank up volume as much as we wanted. Great times.

@chriscampbell9191

2y↑6

@Shane Broussard It would have been cool if the two genres had been able to coexist. I love grunge, but it sort of killed the fun, party attitude that a lot of the hair metal thrived on. Grunge was great, but it was also kind of a buzzkill, attitude wise. Sometimes you have to shrug shit off and enjoy life, and the hair metal attitude sort of lived on that. Plus, a lot of the music was really good. Oh well. Both genres are gone now and were in the new musical era of whatever.

@shanebroussard6262

2y↑8

@Chris Campbell maybe hate was a strong word. I disliked a lot what grunge stood for as you mentioned. They had some decent music with some of the bands. I am pumped that a lot of the hair bands and bands from the 70’s are touring again. I was to poor to see them in the 80’s. I been seeing a lot of them lately.

@Shane Broussard I've been catching some of the videos of 'hair metal' bands' shows online, old and new. Lately I've been getting more into Dokken and George Lynch (there is an awesome show he did in Japan in 2013. Great tone). Also some old Ratt shows with Warren DeMartini. During the hair band era, all of those guys could really play. Peace.

I so wish it got more respect because it deserved it, not just musically but the memory of the impact of the incident in 1967, and how it carries to this day 50 years later- and beyond. This song, about Jayne Mansfield and her death *literally* impacts all of us driving on the roads.

What a wonderful legacy for her- preventing others from suffering the same fate as she did.
To this day her story is told to new trainees getting their CDL.

I loved the 80s, 90s and a few others.

I lost a beautiful child, she has been a huge part of all us. This song was there to support.

Love you Ryder!

Tracii Guns proves that rock n’ roll dreams can come true with hard work, perseverance and a genuine passion for making music. It doesn’t hurt much to have an upside down Stratocaster, a layered wedge cut and a killer string arrangement. A notable if only tangential connection to Guns N’ Roses is also pretty useful in getting you signed. Ultimately, it’s a matter of all the right elements coming together, like Kelly Nickels and his fingerless leather gloves. Totally rad!

A masterpiece of a song ! Unfortunately songs like this tend to takeaway from the bands other great songs and talent.
One hit wonders they are referred to. LA GUNS is a outstanding band.

One of the greatest ballads ever written. While LAGuns might not have achieved international success, they wrote one of the greatest songs in world history. In WORLD HISTORY. Thank you LA Guns.

I think the band Hardcore Superstar is from there. They are a great sounding band and definitely have that 80's sound to them, at least on their self titled newer release.

Yeah me too except that has changed in the last year. I'm 43 and 1 year ago i looked 29. My beloved girlfriend passed away from pancreatic cancer and it's amazing how stress can age you. I went from 29 looking to probably late 40's and it truly makes me sick. I can't stand going to where ever, Walmart or a store and being called sir. They'll say thank you sir, like it just makes me feel so damn old and i hate it. And then when i see people walking into Walmart or just out in public and people see me from a distance and think i'm young and then they get up close and see that i'm older and give me that phony dismissive smile. Can't stand that either. I want to be me again and live somewhere where age doesn't matter.
