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 MÃķtley CrÞe 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.

Praise the lord 2 make things right
Hold so tight 2 your embrace
Feel your breath against my face
Hey baby I've got plans 4 you
There ain't nothing I won't do
Set the spark that sets my soul on fire
I'll take you higher, higher, higher
I'll be the one you call by name
There's no denying that you just take the pain
I'll never ever break the chain
Innocence fuels my desire
Wheels of fire
Darkness falls my blood starts racing
My heart's beating like a drum
Beating out like a jungle rhythm
4 beats 2 the bar
Falling down like thunder from heaven
Shooting star
I'm burning baby can't you see my heart's aflame
I'll be the 1 you call by name
There's no denying that you just take the pain
I'll never ever break the chain
Innocence fuels my desire
Wheels of fire

Preach, brotha! My fave from the gang!
Icarus
The genius of Phil Lewis, he writes lyrics that sound like a love poem, YET they`re extremely sleazy. "I`m burning baby can`t you see my heart`s a flame? i`ll be the one you call by name, there`s no denying that you just CAN take the pain, I`ll never ever break the chains. Innocence fuels my desire...Wheels of Fire."
