L.A GUNS POST VIDEO FOR NEW SONG “SPEED,” ANNOUNCE TOUR DATES
As the revival of the classic ’80s hard rock and heavy metal scene continues unabated here in the 21st century, one reunion has been at the top of the wishlists of many a fan for a long time: the songwriting combination of Tracii Guns and Philip Lewis under the L.A. Guns banner. What once seemed like a distant memory with no hope of returning has now come around and fans are about to be rewarded for keeping their fingers crossed and their hopes up.
Today, the first video for the album’s debut single, Speed,has been released. Watch the video below.
Guns describes the song as “a response to the extremely fast-paced ‘I want it now!’ world we are living in.” Hard rock aficionados should keep their ears opened for a nod to the great Deep Purple’s legendary track Highway Star in one of the verses.

The Missing Peace track listing:
1. It’s All The Same To Me
2. Speed
3. A Drop Of Bleach
4. Sticky Fingers
5. Christine
6. Baby Gotta Fever
7. Kill It Or Die
8. Don’t Bring A Knife To A Gunfight
9. The Flood’s The Fault Of The Rain
10. The Devil Made Me Do It
11. The Missing Peace

“The Missing Peace‘ is truly an album by definition,” said Guns. “It’s a collection of music that I have been working on for about twelve years with various styles of rock music. From blues to classical influences, these are all hard-hitting songs. I am very proud of all of the contributions to this album by other members and writers. L.A. Guns fans are in for a treat.”

Never was a big fan of LA Guns. They had some decent songs, but they always seemed like a poor mans’ Guns and Roses to me. Tracii Guns is a terrific guitar player, though.
I like L.A Guns. but the beginning of this song sounds like, Electric Eye. 😯
