<i>Hollywood Vampires</i> contains plenty of L.A. Guns’ rollicking glam metal. “Kiss My Love Goodbye” is one of its gems, with Phil Lewis shouting over bucking drums and shrieking axe licks. But a deep sense of weariness also seeps from the record: They sound like a group reeling from one too many parties on “Over the Edge”, a brooding rocker with a Zeppelin-style stomp, and the heartland-infused power ballad “It’s Over Now” is an acknowledgement that stardom is no tonic for loneliness.
