MORC ... "L.A Guns canceled thier 5 o'clock show cause Tracii Guns doesn't like playing in the sun"

[Wiseacre]

He has anxiety issues right?

That explains it.

No one has worse anxiety issue than I do, trust me. I've dealt with full-blown panic attacks, gad, hypochondria, depersonalization, ocd, severe depression, etc since my teens, so like 40 years now and its absolute hell on earth. Plus, I never drank, used drugs or even took meds for it until a couple years ago (the side-effects are horrible) or so there was zero escape. if he can't handle the stress of not being a headliner, he shouldn't be there in the first place. I toured, flew to Europe a few times, did a cruise, etc. It's not an excuse.

[Ralph2]

Look, everyone's gonna hate this, but guess what?

After being on the road for 40 years, anxiety or not, its time to man up.

Does someone working at IBM or Microsoft tell their boss "I can only work when I want to work"

No they don't.

Since it is Sludge, here's the Kiss tie-in:

Granted these guys get roasted daily, but you NEVER see any of those guys bitch, quit , complain, or anything.

Kiss never played the bitch card. That's why they're Kiss.

That's why champions are champions and breakfast pool day time players, are well....breakfast pool day time players.

Sorry, but no way was starchild playing some fucking guy's boat and no way would he play by the pool with the sun all in his eyes (that diva). And considering gene would wrestle a live shark for a nickel, they aren't really a great example. he only complains if they aren't making any $$$...nothing to do with "manning-up". Also, they've sucked for about 20+ years now.

[MetalSludgeCEO]

Stephen Pearcy will turn 69 this summer... and guess what he did when he was booked to appear at the MORC pool-stage middle of day in the sun?

He strapped on his Leather and grabbed the F'ing mic!

I called Bullsh!t back when Tracii pulled that stuff in Texas as well, playing sitting on a Toilet in the AC bathroom back=stage!

I like that band, I like Phil. I like Tracii, and I like Johnny too... but... this is weak as F#@k. Just my 2- cents.

If Tracii joined Poison, or Motley Crue... what would he have done during those scorching hot Stadium tour dates? Tell Bret or Nikki, "It's too hot, I don't want to play!"

$tEvil

[endstand]

Is this true or just some speculation?

I mean Tracii has played all kinds of dives and pizza places like every other touring musician, so I assume playing in the sun does not matter.

All the biggest artists in the world play in the sun constantly while doing outdoor shows and festivals, so doubt this would be an issue to anyone really.

[jens]

You're all idiots if you think it's impossible he has legit problems with blistering sun.

Tracii's an even bigger idiot for not discussing it with promotors when they're getting booked.

[HoldenSSV]

Oh, for fuck's sake. He's not working an 8-hour shift laying pavement on a highway. Is he too cheap to buy a hat and some sunscreen?

There has to be more to this, doesn't there?

[SW]

This was Traciis message 3 years ago when he played in the bathroom. So I assume it's again heat-related problems.

So we have a unique situation. A lot of people know I have a panic disorder. While I have it 95 percent under control, Heat is the remaining trigger and I simply cannot play in the heat . BUT!!! We have found a solution for todays show I will be playing in a comfy bathroom directly behind the stage where there is air conditioning . I will do an Instagram live stream during the set if y’all really need to watch me play. I apologize for my crazy brain.

[Jason Jennifer Leigh]

Wrong, nobody has worse anxiety/panic attacks than ME, mine has been so bad for so long it’s done serious heart damage and I’ll die atleast 30 years too soon. My point is NEVER EVER get married.

Some people with anxiety/panic disorders can’t handle the bright sun or heat, I am one of them … just because one person with anxiety can do it doesn’t mean we all can.

Traci is right, heat is a big trigger and people say “oh you just need to acclimate”, it does not work that way.

You wouldn't take a job working in the bright sun and heat, would you? They didn't spring that schedule on him last minute.

Maybe Traci fucked up by forgetting about daylight savings and thought 5pm was still gonna be dusky.

The MORC seems to have water slide
Does Mr Guns enjoy this?
I’m guessing Ace Von Johnson VIP pass gets AVJ front of line all day

MORC scheduled released about a week ago... note Day 3, it was scheduled for LA Guns to play the Pool Stage at 5:pm.
> https://metalsludge.tv/ready-set-sail-m ... -festival/

They did not... and NERD HALEN filled the slot... and LA Guns played a much smaller room (venue) later that night.

Also... several people reported going to the Pool Stage that day, and were miffed, and posting "What happened to LA Guns?"
> https://www.facebook.com/groups/1560929 ... 321778838/

There is No speculation... it's a fact... Tracii did not want to play in the sun.

Word is... it was brutally hot out, and others said Tyketto was struggling in the heat and also that Marc Ferrari of Cold Sweat had a bit of a struggle in the heat as well.

Based on what happened with Guns in Texas, during the Toilet Gig... it is not far-fetched that they cancelled that Pool Stage show in exchange for an inside venue.

Ever played on stage??? It's fucking HOT most of the time and not just in the sun. That's the main reason I always hated playing live (see my personal commets about anxiety/panic/etc above).

Way back in 1993 we played the VP Fair in STL and it was just as the sun was starting to go down and it was coming in straight under the awning at the stage full-blown. It was July 4th weekend, hot and humid as fuck and I truly thought I might die that day, haha. Then again, I was young and jumping and running around like an idiot screaming my ass off. I learned my lesson. You have to adapt and pace yourself if it is an unusual situation. These days everyone probably has a personal fan on their mic stand hooked up to a Bluetooth app that monitors your body temp. pussies.

[Sleek]

I did two outdoor shows this last summer that were over 100 degrees in freedom units. It sucked. Definitely had moments in both where I felt like I could have passed out and had to slow down and drink a bunch of water.

I survived, but I can see why somebody with the power to NOT do that would pull the plug.

[Fat_Elvis]

The only thing worse than suffering through an LA Guns set would be doing so in the blazing sun.

[TorienRoxxGang]

The first 2 tracks from the new cd sound pathetic. Phil must be making some nice coin. Who manages the LA Guns in 2025 as they obviously dont handle or care about Tracii’s psycho condition.

[greengoblinrulz]

Was on the cruise
Traci did not cancel their show but it got rescheduled for inside later on. They played their 2 shows
During the replacement show of Nerd Halen, Traci was walking thru the crowd with his gal & watched the show.
Thought there was an interview with Phil Lewis who said the bathroom heat show was made up as Traci didnt wanna go onstage due to his anxiety over just separating from his wife. It was a Trunk interview & Im sure I heard it.

Marc Ferrari had to have 2 IVs after their first pool show (there were 2 pool stages) & refused to play the 2nd one. His band was irate as he was up & walking the ship, just didnt want to play. (they did play a 2nd show as they were scheduled for 3)

It was warm for sure (it is the Carribean) but the actual temps were in the lower 70s each day. Didnt get to the 80s till the last day.

[Wild Obsession]

This amateur hour bullshit would absolutely not have been tolerated under the Crypt Keepers watch.

[alleyrulez]

no clue how these cruise ship shows work, but wouldn't the band running order have been set prior to the event?

What is going on with these bands? How they just decide that
they don’t perform? I mean artists normally just can’t cancel without a force majeure. They have signed contracts for x amount of shows.

I assume that LA Guns was on the big outdoor stage at 5pm and Nerd Halen was on a tiny indoor stage at like 9pm. So they swapped. Nerd got to play to a bigger crowd on a bigger stage, and Tracii got to not get the Saturday Afternoon Scaries.

This if true, is also an absolute pathetic excuse!

So the separation from the wife did not affect the other 30+ shows on that tour?

MORC promoter also works with everyone to make it work
Lesser known Euro band Eclipse was doing a theatre acoustic show on last day @ noonish but hated the sound so they swapped out to Atrium that evening
Been swaps for sickness last second as well as weather
