Tracii Guns recently discussed potential touring opportunities with Guns N’ Roses in a recent Dr. Music interview.
“I think I might. It think that it might be musically awkward for a minute,” Guns said about joining a potential tour with Axl Rose and Slash.
“Because Slash and I would be right back in high school, like, ‘I’m gonna do this solo. Well, no dude I wrote that. But I’m not here as a rhythm guitarist, bro.’ So it would kind of bring us that weird you know we’re at a party jamming of kind of thing which we’ve done 20 years ago. Slash and I jammed a couple times.”
“I don’t really know what purpose it would serve,” he continued.
“If it was kind of like a Guns N’ Roses farewell kind of tour kind of thing, I mean I’d much prefer to have LA Guns open. Then maybe get up and play a song with Guns N’ Roses or something.”
“I’m not known for Guns N’ Roses. I mean, it’s my name, but nobody went to the Appetite for Destruction tour and saw me play guitar,” he explained.
“People don’t really acquaint me with the band that way. That being said, there’s not a lot of cool rock bands that I would say no to anyways.”
Guns’ reply reflects his ongoing success with L.A. Guns and showcases his historical connection to one of rock’s biggest bands.
Documentation from historical records revealed Guns’ pivotal role in forming Guns N’ Roses. He established the band by merging his group LA Guns with Axl Rose’s Hollywood Rose.
A report from Blabbermouth detailed the circumstances surrounding Tracii Guns’ departure from Guns N’ Roses. Creative differences and personal challenges with Axl Rose led to his exit, after which Slash took his place in the lineup.
Since then, Tracii Guns has forged his own path in the music industry with his band, L.A. Guns, which is set to release their new album, ‘Leopard Skin,’ in April 2025. This release marks a significant reunion with Cleopatra Records.
Tracii Guns continues to maintain his influence in the rock scene through L.A. Guns. He acknowledges his role in establishing what became one of rock’s most legendary bands, despite his brief tenure with Guns N’ Roses.
