L.A. Guns

"K.K. had a massive impact on everybody," the guitarist tells UCR.

Former Judas Priest guitarist K.K. Downing's band will play its first U.S. concerts in March.

He contributed to 10 of L.A. Guns' albums across more than 20 years.

The guitarist also tells UCR what he learned from his early days in Guns N' Roses.

"I'd rather be alive than give somebody $16 worth of Tracii Guns," the guitarist says.

"Immigrant Song"-style rocker marks the first single off 'Black Diamonds,' out April 14.

"You can't compare that record to anything else," guitarist Tracii Guns said.

Guitarist explained the "unique situation" in a post to social media.

The "Sonic Slam" tour commences on June 1.

He takes pride in the finished product, "even though I didn't play one note on it."
