Hollywood Forever

Guns studio album - 2005's Tales from the Strip - but that long wait is about to end with the release of Hollywood Forever, the band's newest effort and perhaps their best yet!

Guns in 7 years finds the boys paying tribute to the city of their collective birth with a heavy slab of classic Guns style metal! Produced and engineered by the inimitable Andy Johns whose credits include the Rolling Stones' Exile on Main St., Led Zep's IV, and, more recently, the super group Chickenfoot!
