L.A. Guns

On 24 November 2026, L.A. Guns played at the Bal Chavaux in Montreuil, a European stop timed to coincide with the release of Leopard Skin. Fronted by guitarist Tracii Guns and Phil Lewis’s incisive voice, the band stayed faithful to its hard rock rooted in Sunset Strip glam, with fast riffs, a sleazy groove and melodic choruses.

Their first shows in Europe since 2018 provided the chance to mix new material with signature tracks: “Electric Gypsy,” “Rip and Tear,” “Over the Edge,” “It’s Over Now” and “The Ballad of Jayne.” On stage Tracii’s guitar carved crisp lines, the rhythm section pulsated, and Phil Lewis led the singing with that recognizable grain.

Nearly forty years of history and still that alchemy between raw energy and blues-tinged ballads. After The Missing Peace, The Devil You Know, Checkered Past and Black Diamonds, Leopard Skin extends the band’s recent trajectory—more melodic without losing its impact. A set that speaks as much to long-time fans as to the curious.
