But we had to take time to do that, and I think people misunderstood and thought that I would retire, which was never the case. That’s the truth because what I had to do was when Phil decided to leave and do shows with Tracii, I had to, as I said, retool and get things together again and figure out who’s going to manage us, who is going to do the record label, and everything fell into place pretty quickly.

I was the one guy that never quit the band, and all of the other classic members had left the band at one time or another. Guns that kept going through the whole thing. What happened was I’m the one guy in L.A. You know what? I got to tell you I never really considered stopping. Guns in early 2017 and joined Tracii Guns’s version of the band.
