We're good. Tracy. That's a guitarist founding member of La Guns,
the bands putting out their fifteenth studio album, Leopard Skin,
coming out next week. In the single Lucky MF is out,
Thanks for taking time, man, How are you?
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Oh? Good morning, good morning, I'm up early and ready
to go.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Awesome were you? I'm reading about this anxiety disorder that
you have and I too have one of those bad boys,
to the point where you had to play in a
bathroom in plain O, Texas. Uh what kind of nerves
did you have before coming on the Quinn Canterra Show.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Oh, I'm still as bad Dan, I'm good.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Why Why did you, Tracy play from a bathroom?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
It was it's a little more complicated than than just anxiety.
It's it's called a meltdown thing that that my brain
does in extreme weather one way or the other. Really,
I'll leave it at that, Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Okay, but it must suck though.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
You obviously you're you mean, you're touring, you're making an album,
so it's not holding you back, is it.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Uh No, No, that's why. It's it's a little bit
different than than the typical kind of generalized anxiety that
most musicians have anyways. You know, anxiety can be like
a really good fuel for live performance and you know
even writing or coming on the radio or whatever, and
(01:37):
that hasn't and that that generalized anxiety really hasn't ever
kept me from doing anything. So it's kind of this
this other thing that I found out out about later
after the incident.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
I'm reading about leopard skin. Tracy, Uh, you kind of
you go deep here talking about the multiple leopard spots
and how they're all unique. You want to expand on
that and how it's how it represents you currently.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Yeah, you know, the the leopard skin thing is number
one at the Cool you know, at the Cool record
title for a rock and roll band, you know, because
leopard skin kind of represents that whole image. But you
know that there's a very cliche saying that, you know,
you can't change eleopard spots, but a leopard has, you know,
(02:25):
millions of spots and different things. And La Guns you know,
on our fifteenth studio record, right, you know, we're still
working on new material and you know, different styles of
rock and roll, and but we keep help forward.

They've got a tour starting up and a new album
coming out. Give us this. There's a bunch of stories
about you an Axle, and you're getting credit for creating
G and R. You want to set the record straight
on that, Yeah.
