LA Guns - Thursday 23rd June 2011 - Camden Underworld, London

This was the second visit for Tracii Guns' version of LA Guns to the Underworld in the last 6 months. Previously I gave them an glowing review. So on the back of that I decided to go again.Would I be so generous this time? Sadly no is the answer. I read that Gypsy Pistoleros had invited them over and that the Pistoleros would be their support, but they failed to play that night. However despite their non show, for me it was a case of familiarity breeds contempt, as I was disappointed by LA Guns's performance. We still had Jizzy Pearl on vocals but there was a change in the rhythm section. Back was Jeremy Guns on bass and a new drummer, Doni Gray. They played a similar set to last time such as LA Guns stalwart favourites of; "Electric Gypsy", "Never Enough", "Face Down", "Bitch Is Back", "The Ballad Of Jayne" and set closer of "Rip and Tear". We even had the same 2 Love/Hate songs, "Black Out" & "Spinning Wheel"! Come on guys, you could have played "Tumbleweed". However unlike last time the Underworld was only half full, despite it being a Thursday night. Those who were down the front seemed to be having a good time (perhaps it was due to the copious amount of beer they were drinking!)  One word sums up tonight's performance, disappointing. I'm now looking forward to Phil Lewis's version of LA Guns here in October.
