Riley’s L.A. GUNS – The Ballad of Jayne EP (2024) *HQ*
Golden Robot Records is releasing RILEY’S L.A. GUNS “The Ballad Of Jayne EP“, including an new acoustic version of the L.A. GUNS song “The Ballad Of Jayne” on August 2 via Golden Robot Records. This re-imagined version offers fans a fresh, stripped-down take on one of L.A. GUNS’ most beloved songs, showcasing RILEY’S L.A. GUNS’ musical versatility and emotional depth.
Six months ago, Golden Robot released RILEY’S L.A. GUNS sophomore album, “The Dark Horse”. The effort arrived two months after the death of Riley who would have celebrated his 68th birthday on January 22, the day of “The Dark Horse”‘s release.
In 2019, Steve Riley formed his version of LA Guns with original bassist Kelly Nickels (member of L.A. GUNS’ “classic” incarnation), frontman Kurt Frohlich and lead guitarist Scott Griffin (who played bass for the band from 2007 until 2009, and then again from 2011 to 2014).
Tragically, Riley passed away on 24th October 2023 at age 67 after being ill with pneumonia for several weeks. Riley was known for his work in Keel, W.A.S.P, and the classic lineup of LA Guns, among others.
