| 15 of 15 people found the following review helpful  Is rock 'n' roll back? No, but the L.A. Guns are., By "dokken6008" (somewhere drinking decaffeinated tea.) - See all my reviews This review is from: Waking the Dead (Audio CD) Introduction:>>>It's only been a year since the L.A. Guns released their first studio album on Spitfire Records, and here they are again along with a new bass-player, a new (classic) producer, and renewed "spunk" in 2002 with yet ANOTHER release.

The songs: 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful This IS What ROck 'n' Roll Is All About!, By This review is from: Waking the Dead (Audio CD) Several bands of the 80's metal genre released albums in 2002. Poison, Bon Jovi, Jackyl, Dokken, and others are on that list. Unlike a lot of pretentious critics, I will not spend the entire review of this album debating myself on if L.A. Guns was a hair band. That is an irrelevant fact to any band and I will not mock a genre that produced some of the best music ever. Simply put, this is rock 'n' roll the way it was meant to be.From the opening track of "Don't Look At Me That Way" with a riff that rivals anything Iron Maiden has done to the final track of "Don't You Cry," L.A.

It's not that I didn't want to hear their sound expanded beyond "Cocked and Loaded" (actually the experimental "Vicious Circle" is still my favorite Guns album), but I'm always a little afraid of who the L.A. Guns might consist of at the moment and how that will affect the incredible chemistry they seem to have had up 'til that point......So when "Man in the Moon" comes out a year ago, and Steve, Phil, Tracii, and Mick are all back, I'm thinking it's not gonna last - definitely a great album, and a much needed dose of good, hard rock - but not gonna last. Not only did they last, but the new album, "Waking the Dead," is certainly one of their strongest. Everything the other reviewers have said is true - the songs rock, Phil's voice is incredible, production is awesome (as in, justice is finally done to Steve's power on the kit), and Tracii and Adam flat-out kick...
