Tracii Guns says L.A. Guns is just not worth the trouble.

Guitarist Tracii Guns, who last year announced that he was retiring his version of L.A. GUNS, has ruled out the possibility of a reunion with his formed bandmates Phil Lewis (vocals) and Steve Riley (drums), saying that he has “played those songs enough” in his life.
During an interview on the latest edition of “Rockin’ Metal Revival” (hear audio below), Guns was asked if he can ever foresee himself playing with Lewis and Riley again. “No, my heart’s just not into it, man, you know,” he replied. “I was so young when we did that. Your tastes just change. And I played those songs for so many years. I just don’t really see it happening. I don’t know, really, why I would do it,you know what I mean? It’s not like the band is big enough to have, like, a comeback where it would make some crazy financial sense or something like that. But musically, I think I’ve played those songs enough in my life.”
Speaking to The Musician’s Voice in July 2012, Guns — who is currently recording and touring with a new project called TRACII GUNS’ LEAGUE OF GENTLEMEN — stated about the status of his version of L.A. GUNS, which featured several different lead vocalists over the course of the last few years: “I think I’ve kind of done it to death, I think the band has done itself to death. Without real room to grow and to move and to be able to exceed the fan base’s expectations — they really love their old L.A. GUNS, and I get it, but I’m older and I continue to study music and recording and a lot of different things.L.A. GUNS is… It is what it is. It’s L.A. GUNS. If there ever was an opportunity to do L.A. GUNS for a higher reason, for a bigger reason, I would certainly do it. But I’m kind of over it. I mean, listen, we play a lot of L.A. GUNS songs in our [TRACII GUNS’ LEAGUE OF GENTLEMEN‘s] live set — people expect to hear those from me — but being in L.A. GUNS is just not worth the trouble, with two different versions of the band running around, and neither band does the other band any good, and I think it’s disappointing for the fans, ultimately. You’re dealing with people who have supported you and your music for, God, I don’t know… over 20 years… at least over 20 years. I would like to be able to go into each gig with a clear conscience, put out records with a clear conscience and know that I’m doing my best and I’m not trying to pull the wool over anybody’s eyes.”
The Tracii Guns version of L.A. GUNS completed a European headlining tour in March 2012.
Tracii started L.A. GUNS while still in high school in 1982. The original singer, Michael Jagosz, was replaced by Axl Rose. Signed to PolyGram in ’87, the band’s self-titled debut, with Phil Lewis replacing Rose, sold over a million copies, as did “Cocked and Loaded” (1989) and “Hollywood Vampires” (1991).
Tracii Guns‘ L.A. GUNS is not to be confused with the Phil Lewis-led version of the group, which is continuing to record and perform under the L.A. GUNS moniker.

Is Tracii contradicting himself in yellow. Anyone? Buhller?
