LA Guns Shrinking Violet (Deluxe Reissue) Review by Gary Hill
Perhaps it’s metal, perhaps it’s not, but either way, this disc is cool. LA Guns is forever tied musically to Guns N Roses through Tracii Guns, but you really don’t hear a lot of the GNR sound on this set. The album is a reissue of a classic LA Guns disc and is very diverse in sound. They’ve added some live tracks to the mix at the end as a bonus and there’s not a weak cut on show here. It’s a great set and highly recommended.
