Nothing's Real

Digitally re-mastered and expanded edition of this 1997 album by the Hard Rock outfit. Led by ex-Thin Lizzy guitarist Scott Gorham, 21 Guns consisted of Leif Johansen (bass), Michael Sturgis (drums), and Tommy LaVerdi (vocals). 1992 saw the release of 21 Guns' debut recording, SALUTE, to critical acclaim, but after touring the record Gorham put the group on hold for several years as he performed in several tribute shows worldwide for late Lizzy frontman Phil Lynott. In 1997, Gorham resuscitated the band and the group issued second album, NOTHING'S REAL, which included a cover of the underrated Lizzy nugget, 'King's Vengeance' (a tune which originally appeared on the 1975 release FIGHTING and co-written by Gorham).
