Talk:List of L.A. Guns members

Lots of good information here. Unfortunately its unfairly slanted in favor of the Phil Lewis lineup. I took the liberty of making it more neutral. If you're going to write a wikipedia article do it right for goodness sakes. SleazeTease 07:42, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Dude... Could someone who understands this whole mess organize a diagram or something with a time line labeling when which albums came out when and by which... That'd be appreciated... Xanofar (talk) 02:50, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Done. Woknam66 (talk) 20:51, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Fan's point of view template

Does anyone still think it's "written from a fan's point of view, rather than a neutral point of view"? Would anyone have a problem with me removing this template?:

Merge template

Does anyone still think it's should be merge with L.A. Guns? Would anyone have a problem with me removing this template?: Woknam66 ^talk _{James Bond} 22:38, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

None of the templates should be removed due to the issues not being solved. First and foremost, there are no sources at all, and it does read as if it were written by a fan. Also noticed a few peacock terms while the lineups are inconsistent with the main article. Unless the article is redone, I would support it's merger. HrZ (talk) 09:49, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

--Halt 222 (talk) 13:28, 5 November 2011 (UTC) I'm totally with it. although slash was in l.a guns I don't know when. so could somebody put in there

First of all, you need a source to confirm he was in L.A. Guns. Second, he was never a member of the band. As far as his career goes (pre-Guns N' Roses), Slash was a member of Tidus Sloan, Black Sheep, Road Crew and Hollywood Rose, while he auditioned to join London and Poison, but didn't join either.

It's too long and expansive for this page to be merged with the L.A. Guns page anyway. The reason why certain bands have their own members pages is because those bands have had too many lineup changes to keep the section short and sweet, and this members section is amongst the longest I've seen. So for that reason alone I don't think we can contemplate merging the two pages. Burbridge92 (talk) 11:20, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

Edits to page

I disagree with the idea mooted that this page should be merged with the L.A. Guns page. It would be too long for that page, with the members chronology being as extensive as it is. Furthermore, other bands, such as Guns N' Roses and Kiss, have separate pages for members where the members section would otherwise be too large to incorporate into the original page. However, there are some edits I suggest be made. These are as follows:

1. Guns N' Roses lineups shouldn't be included on this page at all. They are lineups of a different band, and where the merge between L.A. Guns and Hollywood Rose occurred, an explanation of what happened could be placed in the table over the time L.A. Guns were non-existent, as is done on other band's member pages (particularly when a band is disbanded or on hiatus for an extensive period of time).

1. The chronology from "First Generation..." through to "Phil Lewis' L.A. Guns" should flow without break. During the time the band was non-existent between first and second generation, an explanation for the band's non-existence could be given (as explained in edit 1 above). The break between "Second Generation..." and "Reunion" is wholly unnecessary anyway, as the band did not break-up at all, but reverted back to the classic lineup, and the point about it being a reunion could be made in the year column (i.e. having "reunion" in brackets under the year of the reunion). Again, there was no break between the "reunion" period and the foundation of the Phil Lewis-led version of the band, which is in fact a continuation of the original, as there was no schism in the band during this time, the band didn't split in two. Again, this could be explained by labeling the band as "Phil Lewis's L.A. Guns" in the year column. The only series of lineups that still would need to be kept separate are the Tracii Guns' lineups of the band, as this is, in essence, a new and completely separate band.

1. The members section at the bottom of the page should be placed above the chronology, as is the norm on similar pages, although this is not an important edit. I suggest that the timeline stays where it presently is.

1. Finally, the written content proceeding each major change in the band's history is unnecessary as all of this information is covered on the band's main page. There doesn't need to be a regurgitation of information on this page, just a chronology that shows the different lineups of the band spoken through on the other page.

Any comments/suggestions would be welcome. Regards, Burbridge92 (talk) 17:31, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Rick Marty (aka Maddog)

Rick Marty did a couple shows with one of the versions of L.A. Guns before telling them to take a hike. I guess that doesn't qualify him for this list? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:983:8001:5B1E:8C55:5FEE:DDF8:81D1 (talk) 02:25, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

It appears all Rick Marty and Richard Madenfort credits are entirely fabricated. If you have non-crowd-editable evidence to the contrary, please link to it here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Noth12gierc (talk • contribs) 19:54, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
