[1] It reached number 50 on the US Billboard 200 and was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

Guns its debut on the Hot 100, reaching number 33. [4]

[2] Three of the album's four singles charted on the Mainstream Rock chart, [5] and "It's Over Now" charted at number 62 on the Hot 100. [4] After the band's fourth album Vicious Circle failed to chart in the US, [2] L.A. Guns was dropped by PolyGram and went through a number of lineup changes, with Lewis, Cripps and Nickels leaving in 1995. [1] The band continued to issue new albums throughout the 1990s, with limited commercial success.

[9] 2001's Man in the Moon featured Mark "Muddy Stardust" Dutton on bass, [10] and 2002's Waking the Dead was recorded by a four-piece lineup of Lewis, Guns, Riley and Adam Hamilton, after which founding member Guns left the band. [1] After three albums without the guitarist, Lewis and Guns reunited for the first time since 2002 in 2016. [1] In 2017 the band released The Missing Peace , which reached number 16 on the Billboard Hard Rock Albums chart and number 12 on the Independent Albums chart. [11] [12] The Devil You Know was released as the album's follow-up in March 2019. [13] Checkered Past was released on November 21, 2021.
