L.A. Guns – “Bitch Is Back” (1988) captures the band’s early Sunset Strip edge—sleazy groove, bluesy grit, and swagger-heavy hooks. With Tracii Guns driving sharp, street-level riffs and Phil Lewis delivering a snarling vocal, it’s a punchy snapshot of late-’80s hard rock attitude.
“Bitch Is Back” also shows how L.A. Guns could take a simple barroom-style riff and make it feel dangerous. The guitars sit right in that sweet spot between sleaze-rock swagger and bluesy bite—tight enough to punch, loose enough to swing—while the rhythm section keeps it strutting instead of sprinting. It’s the kind of track that sounds built for sticky-club floors and neon-lit chaos, where the hook doesn’t need to be clever… it just needs to hit hard and stick.
The “Bitch Is Back” music video goes full classic MTV glam metal: performance-first shots, leather-and-hair aesthetics, and pure stage presence. No overbuilt storyline—just L.A. Guns turning charisma and volume into a straight-to-the-point 1988-era blast.
The video matches that energy by leaning into pure presence over plot. It’s glam metal in its most direct MTV form: lights, amps, hair, leather, and the band owning the camera like it’s just another crowd to win over. Instead of trying to “act,” the clips do what those era-perfect performance videos did best—make the song feel louder, flashier, and more immediate, like you just stumbled into the middle of a set and decided you weren’t leaving.
