In a recent interview with Dr. Music, Tracii Guns, founder of L.A. Guns, shared his candid thoughts on a potential tour collaboration with Guns N’ Roses. When asked about the possibility of joining Axl Rose and Slash on tour, Guns offered a thoughtful and nuanced perspective.
While Guns acknowledged the potential musical awkwardness of sharing the stage with his former bandmates, he didn’t rule out the possibility entirely. However, he emphasized that he wouldn’t be interested in simply serving as a rhythm guitarist, given his own distinctive style and contributions to the rock music landscape.
Instead, Guns proposed an alternative scenario, suggesting that L.A. Guns could open for Guns N’ Roses on a farewell tour, with a possible guest appearance during the headlining set. This approach would allow Guns to maintain his artistic integrity while still acknowledging his historical connection to the iconic rock band.
Guns also highlighted the fact that his association with Guns N’ Roses is largely a matter of name recognition, rather than a direct musical connection. Despite being a founding member of the band, Guns wasn’t part of the lineup that achieved massive success with Appetite for Destruction.
Ultimately, Guns expressed his openness to collaborating with other rock bands, citing his willingness to explore new musical opportunities. While a Guns N’ Roses tour collaboration remains uncertain, one thing is clear – Tracii Guns will continue to forge his own path in the world of rock music.
