What Gun-Related Songs Do You NOT Like?

[Demon440]

Gripping the wheel, his knuckles went white with desire!
The wheels of his Mustang exploding on the highway like a slug from a .45.
True death: 400 horsepower of maximum performance piercing the night...
This is black sunshine.

I like that one as well as thunderkiss65 and so many others by whiteZombie.

i love 'saturday night special'. wonnerfull hook, guitar licks and vocals. besides i think it refers to the single shot street guns that were made back then that could be bought for $20 and had only one purpose. and i bet those boys would have a bunch of gary reeder guns if they were still around.

Willie's new one:

It ain't out yet, but I'm pretty sure I'm not gonna like it

Close....

not single shot necessarily but also the el-cheapo complete POS near "one time use" guns (revolvers made from pot metal adn the like) that were around and rather popular in the late night pawn shops at the time the song was written. as in a major reason FOR, a waiting period to exist for handguns (ie to keep some drunk hothead from deciding "hey that guy just pissed me off i think i'll go down to the A-1 Pawn, buy a gun, and blow his head off so the whole world can see he's got excrement for brains")
Infact my father still refers to any small, cheap snub-nose revolver (including his own Ruger Security-six btw) as a "saturday night special"
And as is noted by at least one verse in the song, such guns were often used in the commission of other crimes such as burglary and armed robbery


as for "gun-related that i do NOT like" i'll go with Steve Earle's version of Devil's Right Hand.

Uh, except that they actually say that "handguns are made for killin' ain't no good for nothin' else" and "why don't we throw them brothers to the bottom of the sea" or something like that. It's a true anti anthem no ifs ands or buts about it. I still like classic Skynyrd though, hell I went to the same Junior and senoir high schools as those goons, I can't help it.
