As everyone knows at this point, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has dealt a difficult blow to the entire live music business. While artists, road crews, venues and fans eagerly await a return to normalcy, artists have gotten busy bringing live music to fans’ living rooms. While they had just commenced work on an upcoming new studio album, in November 2020, L.A. Guns wanted to get together and do one of the things they love most, which is play a “live” show. The band announced a special gig at the Fremont Country Club in Las Vegas, Nevada, that would celebrate the 31st anniversary of “Cocked and Loaded.” L.A. Guns–Phil Lewis, Tracii Guns, Ace Von Johnson, Johnny Martin and Scotty Coogan–performed a show that was streamed worldwide to fans in the comfort of their own homes. The band played all the classic proper studio tracks from “Cocked & Loaded.” And while celebrating a milestone in its career, the band also acknowledged the present and played “Speed” from its more recent album “The Missing Peace.”
