Biography
Biography
In 2009, Blades released his first guitar instrumental solo album called Symphonic Slam on Cleopatra Records. At the end of 2012, Blades decided to leave L.A. Guns to pursue more personal opportunities for performing and songwriting. He worked with Sony Music designing and writing guitar loop packages. Blades was also the last artist to work with producer Andy Johns before his death in April 2013. From 2017 to 2020 Blades achieved some success with his active rock band "Electric Radio Kings" charting No. 28 on Billboard Mainstream Rock charts with their remake of Amy Winehouse's "Back To Black" and released a full-length album Purrr produced by longtime Metallica engineer Michael Gillies. The album was released via MI5/Universal. The band however imploded and turned into the alternative "Crashing Wayward" who released their first single "Breathe" on February 12, 2021, again produced by Mike Gillies (Metmixer).
