Jason Price of Icon Vs. Icon sat down with L.A. GUNS' drummer Steve Riley to discuss the band's upcoming album, Hollywood Forever, his thoughts on the band’s longevity, life on the road and more. An excerpt follows:

Q: I was very excited to hear you were releasing a new album. What brought you all back together for this new album, “Hollywood Forever?”

A: "Ya know, we are non-stop! We came off the road last year after a whole slew of dates which took us all over the United States, over to Australia, to Korea, over to Scandinavia and over to the UK. We did a ton of live dates last year and when we came off the road, we went right into a pre-production mode. We were really, really hot! We were playing great from playing live so much. It was the perfect thing for a band — going right from the road into the studio. Everyone was so fluid when playing and everyone was so tight! We went right into pre-production in late December. We worked right up until Christmas, then we took the holiday off and went right into the studio here in LA. We worked with Andy Johns again, who has produced our last four albums. He is the guy who has done all the Zeppelin stuff and The Stones. He just has a great track record! He is one of those old world masters! Like I said, this is our fourth album with him. We went right from the road, into the studio to make the album and now we are going to go right back out. We are off to Europe! We are non-stop, Jason! We just keep going! This is just what we do!"
