L.A. Guns - California Lyrics






Come on

Too much time spent in stormy weather
I didn't think it would be so cold
Our fire's burnin' now that we're together
It almost feels like I'm halfway home

Is that a sign up ahead
Like a star pointing to your bed
Keep your tired eyes open
Sparks flyin' through your head

Won'tcha take me back, back there
Take me back to California
Take me back to California
Yeah

Golden songs floatin' down the river
Got the gold shinin' in your hair
I wish this road could go forever
Not too long, babe, and I'll be there

Yeah
Is that a sign up ahead
Like a star pointing to your bed
Keep your tired eyes open
Sparks flyin' through your head

Won'tcha take me back, back there
Take me back to California
Take me back to California
Yeah yeah yeah

Won'tcha take me back, back there
Take me back to California
Take me back to California
Take me back to California

Won'tcha take me back, back there
Take me back to California
Take me back to California
Take me back to California

L.A. Guns California Comments
  1. B.... D....

    Watched them couple of years back in the UK and Phil still has got a GRT voice....got a GRT photo of tracii flicking his pick....

  2. T.... R....

    Martin looks like a misfit kid of Vinnie Vincent and Elvira..

  3. T.... R....

    Cant wait to catch em in Seattle this November \m/.

  4. T.... L....

    God Damn Rippin

  5. T.... L....

    1:40 Lynch, Angus, Guns

  6. R.... S....

    Awesome vocals, Awesome Guitar, drums were a bit much though. Simple beats made more complicated where there's no need. Strange stage presence. Just looks tired. Of course I've never sung the same song, thousands of time, for decades, and it's not all original member's, so I guess some slack is in order.. ;)

  7. I.... M....

    Fucking awesome ! Bow , you Motherfuckers to a true Survivor of the 80's ! Long live Tracii and rest of the true Gunners !

  8. p.... c....

    missing peace was a classic and their new album is on the same track...

  9. J.... L....

    Is the drummer trying to compete for volume....when the soloist rips, don't compete....build.....dude!

  10. J.... ....

    I saw a douchey comment about tracii on another video saying he needs to lay off the drugs and drinking. I’ve seen so many videos of him talking about his gear himself, I don’t get that vibe at all. He talks like a Californian, but not a drug addict. Anyone?

  11. P.... M....

    What song is at 2:02? Please if anyone knows😎

    P.... M....

    AC/DC - Hells Bells

    P.... M....

    @Vicarious Videoz just now remembered thanx😀Love it

  12. K.... W....

    My bad Santa Monica Civic center

  13. K.... W....

    Santa Monica sports arena 1988 LA guns opened up for Michael schenker group LA guns did AC DC's walk all over you

  14. D.... D....

    Traci Guns is a great guy and one of the best damn guitar players of all time seen him at a Randy Rhodes tribute once, although Randy is irreplaceable Traci did one hell of a job representing him and Randy's fills on crazy train

    D.... D....

    think i caught that one too..via youtube--jimmy burkhard of Billy Idol rocked it too

  15. S.... B....

    70's and 80's Rock & Roll still Rule !!.. New musicians Learn it, Play it, Love it .. \m/

  16. J.... N....

    Thee most uderrated player in the business! Tracii Guns one of my all time favs. A bit of an personality issue but can't deny his talent. This incarnation of the band is one of the best! More importantly theirking new great music which not many from that time period are not. The Devil You Know 2019 Mar.8th

  17. C.... 9....

    They sound terrible

  18. J.... P....

    They were big somewhere.

  19. C.... W....

    Guns and Roses had one great record.....Every LA Guns record was great !!!

  20. A.... ....

    Sounds li k garbage...random cords

  21. G.... M....

    If you like LA Guns, check out GRIND @wearethegrind based in Tulsa, OK

  22. s.... ....

    I like the wigs better than the tunes

  23. E.... M....

    I wonder how Kelli nickels brother Phil is doing? He played guitar for 22 Hillside.

  24. J.... y....

    My band.,..

  25. G.... ....

    The singer is about 60!!!

    G.... ....

    In January he's 62. Still hot.

  26. m.... m....

    Real fkn. Sleaze metal but. If u have that one chance in this fucked life to have the honor to play drums for the boys. DAWG. GET UR SHIT TOGETHER KEEP TIME COME ON BRO KEEP TIME

  27. D.... S....

    Tracy is so much happier with Phil Lewis next to him . in past years with all the drama Tracy never looked happy

  28. R.... M....

    Drummer sucks, looks like he’s taking a shit the whole time.

  29. C.... ....

    Haha....what a joke band. Traci has to be about the worst guitarist (completely unoriginal). The worst part is that he thought he was good. Decades later, and they are still broke and sound like garbage.

  30. m.... v....

    Bring back Michael Grant you ass holes!!

  31. B.... B....

    Is that the zohan

  32. S.... F....

    Tracii is 1 of my all time favorite guitarist...i really think Michael Grant's playing is right up there too and this video shows it...this is 1 of the last shows they did with Michael and i for 1 think this was the best version of this band in many years...

  33. T.... S....

    Great band live 👍👍🤘🤘

  34. g.... ....

    Is it me, or Tracii Guns is looking more and more like Sammy Hagar?

  35. T.... ....

    Love the GUNS!!!!!!!!!!

  36. w.... v....

    Just seen them in Sydney Australia last week, waited 30 yrs, 1 more of the bucket list, great gig.

  37. D.... S....

    Sorry, nothing worse than a freight training drummer...

  38. g.... c....

    Going to San Francisco!

  39. m.... g....

    drummer does not fit

  40. I.... M....

    Tracii - I’ll be back in the band but do everything to not look like I’m not in the band

  41. R.... S....

    Drummer....horrible groove and tempo...this sounds like unorganized crap

    R.... S....

    Yeah Steve Riley on drums is way better. But I know Traci hates Riley .

  42. B.... M....

    Well, not Robert Plant but give em time.

  43. G.... ....

    Man those wigs look really bad on Tracii and Phil... I guess being baldies would kinda kill the image.

    G.... ....

    wigs? i ran into Phil the other day and he had his hair pulled back into a ponytail. all real hair. douchebag

    G.... ....

    What you saw was Phil Lewis wearing a wig in a pony tail.
    Both Tracii and Phil are long standing members of the hair club for men. I apologize if I ruined your man crush on him.

    G.... ....

    take look at 13:50 you think that lump of wig on his head is his real hair? LMFAO!

  44. J.... M....

    Tracii is a sick player, but someone please remind him that he’s not in Canned Heat circa 1969. Dude looks like shit

  45. B.... M....

    On Friday my daughter Pennie Laine, named after the Beatles song, will be at your concert. She will be in the front row. She comes from a long line of musicians dating back to the Grand old Opry. She has long brown hair and beautiful big brown eyes. I'm in Washington state or I would be there as well. I started singing at 5 years old professionally. I want Pennie Laine to have a good time! Do your best guys. She's very shy but gorgeous! She might have sparkles on a blue jean jacket wearing probably black tight pants and boots. I'm a Gino Vannelli person but will listen to you regardless.

  46. T.... P....

    Love this band but the drummer blows can't keep time for shit and doesn't even fit in. Like to know how he got this gig i'm 52 and and know all these tunes and would blow him away.

    T.... P....

    I was thinking the exact same thing!

    T.... P....

    ...and then we were 3

    T.... P....

    but he IS a real nice guy and took time to have a beer with me in Manchester UK. he has the rock spirit

  47. b.... f....

    tracii went off on me once cause I wasn't a Hillary supporter..lol

  48. M.... B....

    Drummer here weak! Steve Riley was the man !

  49. K.... J....

    Glad they survived this long. Seen em several times in the day!!

  50. B.... G....

    When did Tracii Guns become Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters Grohl, not Nirvana Grohl)?????

  51. J.... O....

    Traci guns another underrated monster guitar player

  52. H.... ....

    Michael Grant added a lot of character to the band. He was fun to watch .... too bad the rest of the bands ego and insecurities had to take that away from the fans. 😕

    H.... ....

    Hoosier_Swagger ..
    I thought he sucked. So did the drummer. Thet need all the originals back

    H.... ....

    Hoosier = I completely agree. Disappointed he's no longer with the band. He brought youth and vitality. And, he is a great guitar player.

    H.... ....

    Well to be fair, if you're not in the band, you don't know what goes on between them, and it's their business. Just love the songs and the live experience for it's own sake, and leave the messy details to them. They've got a new guy, Ace Von Johnson now. Looks and feels the part to me.

    Wouldn't we all love the original lineup. Well, you can't have it all.... but, seriously, you've got the heart of the band with Tracii and Phil. It's impressive they're performing killer live shows now. This video here doesn't even crack the truth of a live gig. I went to a show recently. They perform all out, exceeding expectations and you won't know what decade you're in for the whole show. So, lose yourself in the music, and forget who is on stage.

    H.... ....

    There were issues there was to bad they had to move on but shit happens. This drummer to cymbal active. I do miss Steve but Steve from what I know has done some slimey shit. So that train has rolled out the station. Mick is doing his own thing and Kelly is doing M3 with Steve. This incarnation of the band is missing the crushing drums of the Earthshaker and that hard bass line of Knickles knuckles but as close to old LAG as they have been in a long time!

  53. L.... S....

    Phil Lewis lose weight and looks more vibrant, it's great. XD

  54. Y.... ....

    The bass player clearly thinks Michael Angelo Batio has a pretty cool hair style

    Y.... ....

    I was thinking more like a Ramones wannabe.

    Y.... ....

    MAB is a phenomenom...this Martin is ridiculous..

  55. A.... Z....

    One of the last great bands still around.

  56. R.... M....

    Ah, nice, used to listen to them before the Guns And Roses abomination occurred, great band, I'm 63yrs old by the way, and in my opinion should have stayed L. A. Guns, would have been bigger than GNR.

    R.... M....

    Tracii himself said guns would've gone nowhere if he stayed in the band

  57. d.... b....

    phil lewis and tracii guns sure have gotten lazy on their stage presence, they looks greasy and homeless

    d.... b....

    I agree! They look homeless.

    d.... b....

    Donald = maybe, they needed a little "speed".

    d.... b....

    they played my small town bar infront of greasy railroad and mining drunks crazy they used to play stadiums at one point lol

    d.... b....

    They are made cos Riley formed another LAG version

  58. R.... A....

    You can't have LA Guns without the namesake Tracii Guns!! And of course Phil on vocals! Sounding better than ever!!

  59. J.... D....

    Big fan bigger than gnr.

  60. e.... ....

    This band is phenomenal!!! Btw, was that "Call Me" by Blondie that Traci was jamming on? Sounded like it. Cant wait to see them at M3 in May.

  61. D.... 1....

    Great guitar ,,,,listen up close all u snowflake bands and take lessons from real pros

    D.... 1....

    Yes u know it!!!

    D.... 1....

    wtf is a snowflake band XD

  62. D.... 1....

    Still sound good keep it up.

  63. H.... S....

    To cool, you must come next time to Germany.

  64. g.... ....

    Here some fun facts for all you Millennials....  Tracii Guns was the co-founder with Axel Rose of Guns n Roses.... Hence the name???

    g.... ....

    gmlasam.....indeed and oh year Tracii plays the SO overhyped Hudson off a fucking short break....just goes to show in large part the power of the music industry to hype certain players cos Tracii Guns SHOULD be way bigger than that wanker one trick pony 'Slash'...

    g.... ....

    gmlasam Since beings that Millenials were born between 1982 and 1995, pretty sure most of them already know this common knowledge.

    g.... ....

    its gen z you have to worry about they probably have no clue who gnr is and know nothing about la guns. Being born in 2000/2001 must really be something.

    g.... ....

    gmlasam And oddly enough, Phil can still sing unlike Mickey Mouse of GnR

  65. D.... S....

    Fuck yeah

  66. K.... U....

    Great show...! we were at the table in front of Tracy..Blaster..great venue!! Smokin'

  67. M.... ....

    BAD ASS.....Phil and Tracii ARE LA Guns!!

  68. M.... M....

    They are in Vallejo? They prob got jumped after the show.
