![]() And this was at the beginning of me coming into the Tracii Guns / Phil Lewis line-up of the band. So I said it and one time, he got really mad. They slang that word a little differently than we do…. In terms of any issues between Grant and Lewis, the former stated: “There was one time when I called Phil Lewis a ‘cunt’ on social media ’cause we used to joke… He’s British you know. I was given no reason, no courtesy call, nothing.” Just going to support you.’ But it wasn’t like that at all. You know, when you’ve invested five years into something and not even given the respect of you know, ‘Hey man.’ If the real reason was to support Michael Grant & The Assassins, it should have been ‘Hey man, giving you a call. So from that you know, my mind was going a little bit crazy for a while. ![]() I have my own shit that I want to do anyways.’ And er, and er, that was pretty much it. And this whole time, I’m kind of like in shock so I am just agreeing to whatever, I’m like, ‘Whatever man. The good news is not much better than that, OK? The good news was, the good news was that they would make it seem like I left just to make it seem like it was my decision and to make it seem like things didn’t get dragged in the mud. When asked what was the good news, Grant advised: “The good news was that I saved some money on my car insurance by switching to Geico. Tracii said that he had fought for me for about an hour but you know…” And then I proceeded to text the other members in the band like you know, ‘Did you know anything about it?’ No one knew too much about it. It’s time.’ And I was just like ‘OK.’ I wasn’t resistant. The bad news is we’re letting you go.’ I was like, pausing my game and said ‘What?’ I was like ‘What? Why?’ The reason I was given was ‘It’s time. It was from Scotty, the manager and you know, he was like, ‘You want the good news or the bad news?’ I said, ‘Always the bad news first bro.’ And he said, ‘OK. I was playing video games man, killing zombies and I got a call. Yeah and I wasn’t even like given the personal courtesy of a phone call orang kind of reason at all so you know…” Trump asked whether the firing came out of nowhere to which Grant replied: “Just came out of nowhere. Trunk noted that this was very surprising since he was Lewis‘ guy (given that Fitzgibbon and Martin were from Tracii Guns‘ band). If Tracii Guns is sad about my departure, if Shane Fitzgibbon is sad about my departure, if Johnny Martin is sad about my departure, that only leaves one person that is not.” And I’ll let the crowd, the audience do some basic emotional math. ![]() So you know, I pieced together my own conclusions as with those kinds of details, that’s all you can do. I was actually fired out of nowhere and given absolutely no reason. Well the press release says that I left to pursue Michael Grant & The Assassins but truth be told, that is not true at all. Guns after five years in the group, the guitarist advised: “OK. With respect to what happened in the last few weeks that resulted in Grant no longer being a part of L.A. Actually, I, I was looking at being a bartender. Guns when guitarist Tracii Guns reunited with singer Phil Lewis, Grant stated (as transcribed by Sleaze Roxx): “Absolutely. In terms of being surprised at staying in L.A. Grant was interviewed by heavy metal news mogul, Eddie Trunk, on Mawhere he publicly provided his account of what really happened for the first time. Guns released a rather generic statement that Grant had left the band to pursue his solo band Michael Grant & The Assassins. Guns, the question was what happened? L.A.
