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.

paranoidchileno 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
