Steve Riley and Kelly Nickels’ version of L.A. Guns starts transition to Riley’s L.A. Guns

One day after it was announced that guitarist Tracii Guns and singer Phil Lewis were going to be sole users of the band name L.A. Guns going forward, the L.A. Guns version spearheaded by drummer Steve Riley and bassist Kelly Nickels has started the transition to the name Riley’s L.A. Guns with the unveiling of the band’s new logo

The following message was posted on the Facebook page for Riley’s L.A. Guns earlier today:

“What’s up everybody? Here’s a quick update on the lawsuit regarding the name of the band. The case has been dismissed as we have agreed to add Steve‘s last name to it. We are now RILEY’S L.A.GUNS. Everything else stays the same. Like we always said, we never came up with it, we never owned it outright, we just had a legal right to use it. We hope that this will end the confusion some of you had as to what’s what, and who’s who. In the meantime we are writing for a new record and looking forward to getting out there and playing for you all this summer… “
