The Missing Peace
The Missing Peace is the eleventh studio album by American hard rock band L.A. Guns, released on 13 October 2017. It arrived through Frontiers Music Srl and was trailed by the single "Speed", which came out with a video that July.
The record matters because it reunited lead guitarist Tracii Guns and singer Phil Lewis on an album of new material for the first time in 15 years. It is also the only studio album to feature rhythm guitarist Michael Grant. It debuted at number 16 on the U.S. Top Hard Rock Albums chart, and it sits between Hollywood Forever and The Devil You Know in the band's discography. For anyone who loved the group's late-1980s and early-1990s records, hearing that central partnership back together is the draw.
