Exactly one month ago, in December 2012, L.A. GUNS announced that guitarist Frankie Wilsey (SEA HAGS, ARCADE) had been chosen to replace Stacey Blades who quit the band "due to extenuating circumstances and musical differences."

Now LAG bassist Scotty Griffin reveals that "Michael Grant from ENDEVERAFTER will be our guitarist starting this weekend in Chicago and Detroit. Is he our permanent guitarist? What happened to the last guitarist? Who's solo album is better, Paul's or Ace's? I can't say... I'm just the bass player. But you heard it here first. Stay tuned."

Griffin has since added: "Set up and ready to rock Illinois tonight! First show of the year, and first show with our newest member, Michael Grant of EndeverafteR on lead guitar!"
