L.A. Guns band members

The following is a list of musicians who have been members of the rock band L.A. Guns. The band's founder Tracii Guns, whom the band is named after, left the band in 2003. His original version of the band is currently fronted by Phil Lewis, and continues recording and touring to this day.

Guns formed his own incarnation of L.A. Guns in 2006, which initially featured Paul Black on lead vocals. This version of the band was active through 2012. Consequently, there were two competing incarnations of the band touring during that period.
