I just became a team member. Got my avatar, etc.

For my first thread as a team member I came up with the following...there are a lot of rock songs that mention guns, and shooting.  Eventually I want to burn a CD (or two) exclusively of such songs. How many different rock songs can ARFCOMmers come up with that mention guns or shooting?  I will start the list with U.F.O.- "Too hot to handle." There are many others I have thought of. This is not a contest, and there is no prize, so it is all for fun.

Guns Of Brixton - The Clash

When they kick at your front door
How are you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun

When the law break in
How are you gonna go?
Shot down on the pavement
Or waiting on death row

You can crush us
You can bruise us
But you'll have to answer to
Oh, the guns of Brixton

The money feels good
And your life you like it well
But surely your time will come
As in heaven, as in hell

You see, he feels like Ivan
Born under the Brixton sun
His game is called survivin'
At the end of the harder they come

You know it means no mercy
They caught him with a gun
No need for the Black Maria
Goodbye to the Brixton sun

You can crush us
You can bruise us
Yes, even shoot us
But oh-the guns of Brixton

When they kick at your front door
How are you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun

You can crush us
You can bruise us
Yes, even shoot us
But oh-the guns of Brixton

Shot down on the pavement
Waiting in death row
His game is called survivin'
As in heaven as in hell

You can crush us
You can bruise us
But you'll have to answer to
Oh, the guns of Brixton

In the song "Fuck Me" by KMFDM/Pig, the singer says "The love of my life is a switchblade knife and a gun becomes my lawful wife." He also mentions staring down the barrel of a .45, but this song is from way before that stupid Shinedown song, and its also much better.

The Metallica songs "One" and "For Whom the Bell Tolls" mention weapons.

And in the Misfits song "Astro Zombies" they say "Grab a Colt .45 and pump some lead."

Hell Yeah.  It's a great road song, and kinda neat like "Louie Louie" in that you can make up what you can't figure out (and no one will eeevver know).

That song has some clever lyrics. Definitely a fave. Too bad I got berated by a co-worker when I mentioned it the other day. She said it was about drugs. Lennon actually thought of the song after reading a magazine article with that title, if I recall correctly.

Queen-Stone Cold Crazy, Metallicas version is MUCH better




Sleeping very soundly on a saturday morning
I was dreaming i was al capone
Rumors going round, gotta clear out of town
Smell like a dry fishbone
Here come the law, gonna break down the door
Carry me away once more
Never, never, never want it anymore
Gotta get away from this stone cold floor
Crazy, stone cold crazy, yo

Rainy afternoon, ought to kill a typhoon
And she's playing on my slide trombone
Anymore, anymore, cannot take it anymore
Gotta get away from this stone cold floor
Crazy, stone cold crazy, yo, hey

Walking down the street, shooting people that i meet
Fully loaded tommy gun
Here come the deputy, try fucking getting me
Gotta fucking get up and run
They got the sirens loose, i ran right out of juice
They're gonna put me in a cell
If i can't go to heaven, let me go to hell
Crazy, stone cold crazy, yo, yeah

"Devils Right Hand".

About the time that daddy left to fight the big war
                                         
I saw my first pistol in the general store

In the general store,when i was thirteen
                                                 
Thought it was the finest thing i ever had seen



So i asked if i could have one some day when i grew up
                                               
Mama dropped a dozen eggs,she really blew up

She really blew up and i didn't understand
                                             
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand



The devil's right hand,the devil's right hand
           
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand



My very first pistol was a cap and ball colt
                                                       
Shoots as fast as lightin' but it loads a mighty slow

Loads a mighty slow and soon i found out
                                                       
It can get you into trouble but it can't get you out



So then i went and bought myself a colt 45
                                           
Called a peacemaker but i never knew why

Never knew why,i didn't understand
                                                       
'Cause Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand



Well i got into a card game in a company town
                                             
Caught a miner cheating i shot the dog down

Shot the dog down,watched the man fall
                                                     
Never touched his holster never had a chance to draw

The trial was in the morning and they drug me out of bed
                                           
Asked me how i pleaded,not guilty i said

Not guilty i said,you've got the wrong man
                                                         
Nothing touched the trigger but the devil's right hand



The devil's right hand,the devils's right hand
       
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand

Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand

The Hollies song mentioned a woman with a pair of 45s but I dont think they were singing about pistolas.  I think it was her fantastic tits that caused her to be noticed.

I love that song.  I can't really think of any.  

I'm trying to think of Aerosmith... ah, there we go someone beat me to it, "Janie's Got a Gun."  A very sad tale of revenge.  It sickens me that a father could do that to his own child - I don't blame the girl.
