Tracii Guns (born January 20, 1966) is a metal guitar player who has played with a number of well-known metal bands and solo artists over the years. Among these are Guns N' Roses, Brides Of Destruction, L.A. Guns, W.A.S.P., Poison, Killing Machine, and Johnny Thunders. He was also briefly a touring guitarist for Faster Pussycat. He guested with the band Bang Gang.

In the mid-1980s, as a side project, Tracii put together Guns N' Roses with Axl Rose, Izzy Stradlin, Duff McKagan, and Rob Gardner. Tracii and Rob later ended up leaving the band and were replaced by Tracii's childhood friends Slash and Steven Adler, respectively.

In 2002, Nikki Sixx and Guns formed the band Brides of Destruction. Brides of Destruction has three other members John Corabi, Kris Kohls, and London LeGrand. Kohls left midway through recording the first album and was replaced by Scot Coogan and they ended finishing the rest of the album. Corabi left the band in March 2003. They released one album in 2004. Sixx left in late 2004 to devote himself fully to Mötley Crüe and was replaced by Scott Sorry and the band added Ginger briefly in the band before he left after a few gigs. Brides of Destruction released a second album in the fall of 2005 before disbanding in late 2005 after British and European gigs in which Sorry missed out on. Guns worked with Quiet Riot for one jam session before he decided to put together a new band called the Tracii Guns Band that consists of Guns on guitar, Paul Black on Vocals, Nickey "Beat" Alexander, on Drums and Jeremy Guns on Bass. The Tracii Guns Group is currently working on a new album.
