Review

L.A. Guns' most consistent and effective album, Cocked & Loaded manages to balance the underlying darkness of Guns N' Roses' urban outlook with Mötley Crüe's party-anthem glam metal. The songwriting is among their best; "Never Enough" was successful on MTV, and "The Ballad of Jayne," a tribute to actress Jayne Mansfield, was a Top 40 hit. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide

Cocked & Loaded is the second full-length album from the band L.A. Guns, and their first to reach gold certification. The album features guest appearances by Cheap Trick members Robin Zander and Rick Nielsen.

This was the first L.A. Guns album that Steve Riley actually played drums on. Although he was in the band photo and listed as a band member in the liner notes of the band's first album, L.A. Guns (because by then he was an official member of the band), Nickey "Beat" Alexander played drums on that album.
