Riley's* LA Guns

[rockker]

Thank god. I was worried what I would do with only 1 LA Guns on the road. Crisis averted

[Charles Bukaki]

Sounds like the perfect opportunity for The Blotz.

[roxxxtar]

Hell yeah! They’re back and even scabier.
Now Cocked And Loaded with scab.

[kytepunches]

Is Bones back behind the kit ..? Was there any other former drummer to hire.?

[greengoblinrulz]

What kind of promoter or booking agent allows this?

[Old_Man_Dokken]

As long as the money comes in the band continues. Sad but true.

[GreatWhiteSnake]

How much money could it possibly be? But then again, what alternatives do the remaining scab have?

[Michael Hotts Ghost]

they can go out with fake Autograph

[cowpins]

I believe that the show was already booked, so I see it as a, "just let them play to honor the guy", and them inxfay on the no more banday.

[gtrjay]

My god!

Steve goes hand in hand when talking about LA Guns. Right wrong or indifferent. However, the lack of self awareness from the band is unreal. Won’t they make more $$ playing cover band circuit at this point ?

Knowing when to leave the party is also admirable.

Their singer has had a regular gig at Epcot for years and plays many sought after gigs around Orlando and surrounding areas, as well as sprinkles in the occasional acoustic gig. Here's two of his many bands. I'd assume he's doing pretty well.

[El Vampiro Blanco]

Can't Riley just continue on the drums?
This board was convinced he was walking dead for years already.

[LurkingAtWork]

Just call it Nickels L.A. Guns?

[alexleehooker]

Just call it Nickels L.A. Guns?

"Nickels' Riley's LA Guns"

or....do this as a one off or a year-long tribute, and like i said years ago call it 'life of riley' or 'rileys last command' and play stuff from throughout his career including WASP especially songs they don't play but he was behind such as 'jack action'

I don't know if anyone noticed but this is booked at Mohegan Sun ARENA. That holds 10,000 people. That a pretty impressive swan song or tribute to him to end in style. Those bands usually play the free shows in the Wolf Den that holds maybe 200-300.

How unemployable do you have to be to see this as a viable career option?

They have as much chance playing the Arena as I do.

Just gonna pitch this here: RILEY'S L.A. GUNS featuring Nickey Alexander

It's going to have to be Alexander , a quick check revealed this fact :

Mike "Bones" Gersema 1992–1994 (died 2021) drums
Cuts (1992)Vicious Circle (1994) .

[Grendel]

This is getting ridiculous!

and aren't they the 3rd band on the bill? Like would anyone know/care if they played or didn't play?

[FreddyFender]

Phil And Tracii just need to hire Kelly. Everyone wins.

a one off at the whiskey makes sense. a tour? you're delusional.

I wasn't joking! I like how the logo has the wrong bands on it.

The freight train is probably drawing up the paperwork as we speak.
