The ballad of Jayne

Reviewer-Bikash Shrestha/Nirab Kayastha

One of the American hard rock bands of the eighties, L.A. Guns represents a typical glam metal scene of the decade. They had few hits, but they could never be ignored; neither as a band nor as the original band eventually leading to be a part of formation of Guns ‘N’ Roses! (‘Hollywood Rose’ and ‘L.A. Guns’)

The end of the innocence
Reviewers-Bikash Shrestha/Nirab Kayastha
No doubt, one of the best creations of former Eagles front-man, Don Henley, ‘The end of the innocence’ is a song which would stay in our hearts forever. The title track of his third album post Eagles disbandment, co-written with Bruce Hornsby, is a soothing song with a tinge of melodious pop rock with deep sentimental touch.
