Guesting on the the Shout It Out Loudcast, L.A. Guns guitarist Tracii Guns discusses KISS, Ted Nugent, Led Zeppelin, social media in today's age, Axl Rose, Izzy Stradlin and Guns N' Rose, and much more.

On the rise of Axl Rose and Guns N' Roses

Tracii: "It's interesting being able to watch Axl from afar all these years. It's been over 30 years since we were in a band together, and he just keeps getting better than me. I mean, everybody has weird performances sometimes, but he's amazing. Man, he's amazing. He's not 25 years old."

"When I look at Guns N' Roses post-me, they're just a great classic rock band. That's always been my opinion. The songs, and then there's Axl, right? You kind of have the Aerosmith setup, and then you have Axl. The singer's always going to sell the band. You could have the best band in the world, but without the guy up front, the currency isn't very high. And so, the way Axl thinks, he doesn't care so much about what he's singing too, because he's going to bring it. If he's singing electronic music, rock 'n' roll, or if he's singing in church, he's going to bring it."

Tracii Guns was a founding member of Guns N' Roses, but left only two months after the band was formed. He was replaced by Slash.
