L.a. guns cocked and reloaded4/26/2023 ![]() Naturally all eyes were on the bands second album, ‘Cocked And Loaded’, a record recorded in Los Angeles with seasoned producers Tom Werman (Motley Crue, Twisted Sister, Cheap Trick) alongside Duane Barron & John Purdell (Poison, Ozzy Osbourne, Heart) and featuring guest appearances from Ted Nugent, Derek St. Amazingly, the combination was highly combustible confirmed by the band’s self titled debut album crashing into the US charts and going on to sell over half a million units. IT WAS an unlikely combination an LA based band pivotal to the upsurge in mid eighties glam based hard rock but fronted by London born vocalist Phil Lewis, previously of Girl, one of the early eighties most lauded UK outfits. PayPal Shopping Cart for the Foreign Costumers You cannot leave comments for this CD because you are Tracii's answer says it all really "all the re-recorded stuff is shit." Even he was not happy with them. Just recently saw a tweet from Tracii with someone asking him if there was a decent best of album out there that was not re-recorded stuff. Stay way from this one, and buy the original instead. It cuts out all the harmonising back up vocals which helps make it sound rawer than the original. I actually think this version is better than the original. If it ain't broken don't fix it.The first "Cocked & Loaded", was a masterpiece.this is sad.nuff said Maybe then there would be a reason to get this. They should have remade some harder to find songs from this era(like import only tracks). The only new thing about it is the remix of "Rip n Tear", but that's not worth shelling out money for this. With the original disc still in print, there's really no reason to buy this remake. Its hard to top what was great in the first place!Ī shadow of the original. ![]() They cant get hold of the original versions cause the record label wont let them have them or they are charging too much. I think the problem with this CD & so many other recently re-recorded ones is that the bands had no choice. These guys could have done much better IMHO. This sucks! Phil's voice sounds like it left the building and even Tracii didn't sound as good as usual. The label should have read "Not So Brilliant" for this one.
