Tracii Guns (born Tracy Ulrich on January 20, 1966) is an American heavy metal guitarist who has played with a number of well-known rock and metal bands and solo artists over the years. Among these are Guns N' Roses, Brides of Destruction, L.A. Guns, Killing Machine, and Johnny Thunders. He was also briefly a touring guitarist for Faster Pussycat. In the mid-1980s, Axl Rose started Guns N' Roses with Tracii. Rose then recruited Izzy Stradlin, a friend and Hollywood Rose's rhythm guitarist, to join the band, and Guns recruited former L.A. Guns members Ole Beich and Rob Gardner for bass guitar and drums respectively. In 2002, Nikki Sixx and Guns formed the band Brides of Destruction. Brides of Destruction has two other members Kris Kohls, and London LeGrand. Kohls left midway through recording the first album and was replaced by Scot Coogan and they ended finishing the rest of the album. Corabi left the band in March 2003. They released one album in 2004. Sixx left in late 2004 to devote himself fully to Mötley Crüe and was replaced by Scott Sorry and the band added Ginger briefly in the band before he left after a few gigs. Brides of Destruction released a second album in the fall of 2005 before disbanding in late 2005 after British and European gigs which Sorry missed out on. Guns worked with Quiet Riot for one jam session before he decided to put together a band called the Tracii Guns Band, which is now going by the name L.A. Guns, even though another line-up of musicians is using the same name.
