L A Guns emerged on the scene as an L A supergroup in the late 80's and struck gold with a series of albums that appealed to metal fans but were steeped in the time honored tradition of rock and roll. "Rips The Covers Off" is a reference to the songs on the album which are like a sound track to the lives of the members of L A GUNS. Covering songs by Led Zeppelin, Rose Tatoo, David Bowie, Iggy Pop, And Aerosmith to name a few, the boys knock these songs out with as much fire and energy as if they had written them.
