As the founder of L.A. Guns, Tracii Guns has citied Johnny Thunders, Randy Rhoads, Eddie Van Halen, Michael Schenker, Tony Iommi, and Jimmy Page as his early influences. At the age of 12, he visited West L.A. Music with his father where he stumbled upon his very first Gibson guitar.

L.A. Guns recently released a new single, "Let You Down". The song was written and recorded while the band was in the midst of work on their next studio album. The band was so struck by the song that they felt the need to release it immediately rather than sit on it for the next studio album. It may or may not appear on said album.

Of the song, Phil Lewis says, "This is our new single, 'Let You Down,' a deep haunting work and words from a tormented soul. It was recorded during quarantine, so Tracii laid down his guitar tracks in Denmark, I did my vocals at home in Las Vegas, and Adam Hamilton played drums and mixed it in LA. Under normal circumstances, it would have been recorded in a more traditional way, but somehow the isolation adds to the atmosphere of this very cool song. I’m sure you’re going to love it. Cheers."

Tracii Guns adds, "This song just appeared at the right time, while we were writing and recording on different continents. Also, we won’t be performing anytime soon and it seems like the type of song that our fans can hold on to for awhile."

L.A. Guns are currently writing and recording songs for a new studio album tentatively due for release via Frontiers Music Srl in late 2020/early 2021. This will be the third studio album since the much welcome reunion of the band's core foundation of vocalist Phil Lewis and guitarist Tracii Guns. It will follow the well received studio albums The Missing Peace and The Devil You Know, plus the live release, Made In Milan, and a covers EP, Another Xmas In Hell.
