L.a. guns hollywood vampires album4/7/2023 ![]() Who were they? What other bands did they play with? You know all the pertinent info that every hair rock fan should know. Obviously, they were from the hair metal capital of the world - Los Angeles - but I needed to know the whole story. Being a young metalhead, I needed to find out more about this band. It had a certain swagger and attitude, very much like their counterparts Guns N’ Roses. I was taken aback by their look and attitude. The video for a song called “Sex Action” would soon arrive on Muchmusic’s Power Hour. They seemed less excited about this band than I was. Of course I told Allan and Adam about this new band and album. In late December 1987, it was announced that a former member of Guns N’ Roses would be releasing an album with a band called L.A. Anyone familiar with their work? I absolutely loved their Appetite For Destruction album. So getting back to the task at hand, in September 1987, I discovered a band called Guns N’ Roses. Since then, we have tried to see each other when we can. As for Allan Lutchmun, although we did lose touch for a few years, five or six years ago we reconnected on yes you guessed it, Facebook. Adam Burley and I are friends on Facebook. Let’s remember though that in 2018, Facebook is a good way to reconnect. Unfortunately as years have passed, Adam Burley and I have lost touch in many respects. The three of us were pretty well attached at the hip for that entire school year. I made two really good friends that year - Adam Burley and Allan Lutchmun. I attribute this to really not giving a shit and discovering my real passion in life - hard rock music.Īs much as I was against changing schools at the time, as the year went on, I realized what a great move it was. The obvious conclusion from my teachers always was that “He’s smart, but does not apply himself.” I was a constant distraction to other students, cracking jokes and just being a major pain in the butt to my teachers. My school years were filled with fights that led too many suspensions. I have to be honest I was not every parents’ dream child. In early 1987, my parents had thought it was a good idea for me to switch schools, although we did not move, due to my distractions within my previous place of education, my parents thought it seemed logical that I move elsewhere to continue my education. Where that occurred is a story for another time. In the fall of 1988, I would be starting high school. Grade 8 would be the only year I would spend at this school. At the time of release, I was 13 years old, in grade 8 at Southwood Park Public School in Ajax, Ontario, Canada. As I was popping the CD into my player, I started to recollect the release of the album and how I went about obtaining its contents. It had been quite some time since I had last listened to L.A.
