It’s a Saturday afternoon, and guitarist Tracii Guns is seated in the back of a tour bus. This is where he’s spent most of his time since March, when he and his band, L.A. Guns, hit the road in the U.S. After a short break in June, he and the group will be back at it until October, and chances are they’ll be booked through the end of the year. “All the real work gets done between touring,” he says. “You write songs, you record, you sign the contracts, you do the merch — you do all that stuff.
