Gun – Something Worthwhile
Biography
For the 60 ‘s band ‘The Gun’ please see this page - http://www.last.fm/music/The+Gun
GUN (1987 - 1997 2008 - onwards) hail from Glasgow in Scotland. They started out as Blind allez then ‘Phobia’, finally settling on the name GUN on signing a record deal with A&M.
Early gigs saw them touring with Simple Minds and the Rolling Stones whilst at the same time selling out their own headline shows.
Mark Rankin’s cousin, Sharleen Spiteri, sang backing vocals on the albums Taking on the World and Gallus. As GUN’s popularity waned in the 90s due a change in style to more funky feel, influenced by producer Andrew Farris (INXS) and especially following a spate of high-profile gun crimes they changed their name to G.U.N. Their final studio album signaled the end of the rock sound that built their reputation and not long after the band split in 1997. They did, however reform for a charity gig in January 2008 with Toby Jepson (ex Little Angels) on guest vocals.
Most successful songs include a cover of Cameo’s Word Up (won an MTV award for best cover), Steal Your Fire, Better Days and Don’t Say It’s Over.
Between 1987 and 1997 GUN rocked the world and are still regarded as Scotland finest rock band.
GUN reformed in 2008 on a permanent basis with Toby Jepson (ex Little Angels) confirmed as the new lead vocalist until early 2010. Alan Thornton the original GUN drummer was back behind the kit for a short time before being replaced by Gordon Mcneil who in turn was replaced by Paul McManus.

Really disappointed with the direction GUN's music has gone. From being solid, quality rockers to 'pop'eteers... 0141 was the first nail in GUN's rock coffin and now Break The Silence is the lid being sealed and the whole shebang being lowered into the ground. At least we have the first three albums to remember that GUN once produced leading edge hard rock music that meant something. They should have released the latest effort under another name 'cos it aint GUN.

Los únicos Gun que existen para mí son los de fines de los 60, autores de un tema tan emblemático como Race With the Devil, y que influyó a Judas Priest y a un montón de bandas del NWOBHM. Esos GUN son los que vale la pena rescatar y recordar. A los escoceses no los conozco, quizás tengan buenos temas, no sé, pero habría que diferenciar a ambas bandas. Saludos

I know, you young poopers don't know about history, but there once lived two guys named Marcus Porcius Cato. Everybody knows that one of them always stated "Ceterum censeo..." and so on, but does any of you, know which one it was? Today we call them Cato the Elder and Cato the younger. You can see, both names are changed, not only one. Thats Diplomacy. How about Gun (Gurvitz/Farrell) and Gun (Gizzi/McManus) By the way the coversleeves of my LPs show 'Gun' and not 'The Gun'

Due to hackers we have lost everything on the Forums over at Toby Jepson's official site. The forums have now been recreated, but we have lost all posts and user accounts. If everyone could head over and sign up and get some posts going that would be great! Visit www.tobyjepson.com now! Repost this to your profile if possible. Thanks :)

Wow, some dudes who made a song in the '90s and get their shitty, washed up band back together to cash in nostalgia own the rights to a three-letter word? That's not completely idiotic at all!
