Vicious Circle was the fourth album by L.A. Guns, originally released in 1994. Most of the songs have Phil Lewis on lead vocals, but the track Nothing Better to Do features Kelly Nickels on lead vocals, and Tarantula is instrumental. MC Bones drums on several songs. Lewis and Bones also played together in the band Filthy Lucre. Filthy Lucre bandmates Steve Dior and Jim Wirt sing backing vocals on several songs. Wirt was also the album’s producer and engineer. Guns originally left the band prior to recording Vicious Circle. PolyGram was completely unaware the guitarist had left the group. They would later threaten legal action against the group when they discovered Guns was missing during the recording process. As a result, Guns returned to the band to finish the recording of the album and subsequent tour. This whole scenario is probably what inspired the album’s title: Vicious Circle.
