“Man In The Moon” was one of the finest albums of their enduring catalog by L.A. Guns. The 2001 heavy rock venture continues with their metal roots while leaning heavily into strong songwriting and innovative guitar work from the band Tracii Guns.
The title track, “Man In The Moon sets the tone for the rest of the session which is filled with raw energy and stunning vocal work from veteran hard rocker Phil Lewis, as heard on classic Guns tracks like “Don’t Call Me Crazy” and “Hypnotized.”
The band knocks out powerful hard rock ballads too like “Beautiful” and “Goodbye,” which are truly heartfelt tunes that resonated with the fans, giving these greats decades of success in the hard rock world.
Sticking with the signature L.A. Guns sound, driven by Tracii Guns’ fiery guitar riffs and solos, Phil Lewis’ distinct vocals, and the rhythmic foundation provided by Muddy, Mick Cripps and Steve Riley, “Man In The Moon” was a winner for both the fans and for the band.
Since the compact disc was the medium of choice at the time, this stellar music was never released on a vinyl Lp, that is until now…..
Friday Music is very pleased to announce for the very first time ever L.A. Guns’ classic 2001 album “Man In The Moon” on super limited editions of Cobalt Blue Vinyl and Eruption Red Vinyl.
Produced by acclaimed superstar guitarist Gilby Clarke (Guns And Roses/L.A. Guns) and mastered impeccably by Joe Reagoso (Kix/Alice Cooper/Thin Lizzy) from the Melody Catalog LP tapes, “Man In The Moon” will be a much sought after title for hard rock vinyl collectors everywhere.
