Saw these Guys in the part of 1997 at an outdoor gig in Glasgow's Tower Records...Fantastic performance that left Argyle Street to a standstill. Great Scottish band - we really should be producing more like this!
@RaquelFreire1 Toby has now left to persue other projects... Dante has taken over vocals with Derek Brown (guitar tech on Swagger tour) joining on bass....
saw the guys years ago when they supported Def Lep on the "in the round....." tour in belfast , they played a shortened (20 min) set with a stand in drummer & Mark Rankin's seemingly boundless energy ensured they still managed to blow Lep' away !!!! Ps can someone please remind me what "gallus" means in scots (I humbly appologise for my ignorance , having come from an Ulster/Scots background !)
My uncle is friends with a guy that is friends with them, and he's always having Parties etc, and he always invites them, and also invite me and my family, And i always talk to them and stuff. My Uncle's friend is able to get me signed stuff anytime. ;D
I saw GUN in 1991, to Def Leopard at the NEC in Birmingham and was wiped out when they sang...so dropped the deaf leopard t-shirt and put on the GUN t-shirt along with my brother and pushed ourselves to the front and Mark Rankin sang infront of us pointing to us....been a fan ever since.......
The best to ever come out of Scotland...along with Del Amitri, Texas,Big Country, and Runrig.
this song is originally about growing up in Glasgow !! It was originally called "Steal your Tyres" as people used to go round stealing the tyres of cars.... trust me... I did !!
If there is a better melodic hard rock song out there from the late 80's/early 90's then i'll eat my Y-fronts. Like a gritter, ballsier 'n better Bon Jovi. If they had been from the USA instead of Scotland they would have been massive. Where is the justice in that!?
Having seen GUN at their very best over their formative years...I'm sorry but the songs apart - they don't do it for me any more. mark rankin was the voice of GUN, just as Phil Lynott was the voice of Thin Lizzy...sorry Toby mate...boy trying to fill a man's boots I'm afraid!
thats right they were in the middle of the hall with the crowd all round.think I had just heard this before the concert and was delighted when they played it as I wasnt sure of what other songs they sang. But remember thinking what a good opening they had done.
they rock i've never heard of them until now and they rock i'm in central america i just stumbled on them and they are going down in my favorites rock on world and if they come to america i want to see them.
You should have listened to the recent radio clyde session, Toby did a great job and I think he fits in well. Different style to Mark but the songs rocked. I think you will see him develop as part of GUN when the guys write some new material... Mark is part of GUN's past (and a huge part) but Toby is part of GUN's future and I think he will do well.... Can't wait for Rockers on Friday the 11th of July!
GUN have just announced (April 2008) that they are to reform.
lineup is..
Toby Jepson, Jools Gizzi, Dante Gizzi and Alan Thornton.
The guys will play Rock radio Manchester launch festival on May 5th 2008 and on the Saturday of T in the park, Scotland in July. This will be followed by other festival appearances and a headling tour. Some new material will be also released.

Brilliant song, great band much missed. Was lucky enough to see them live twice and they were fantastic. Highlight had to be at Aviemore when they did a set of their own stuff and then went off and put long haired wigs on and came back on to do a set of covers. Superb!
love this band.I am lucky enough to have there early albums and a 12inch version of better days on vinly...and it is a propper 12version...goes on for about 10 days or so...love it...
Jools and Dante played a gig as GUN with Al Thornton (original GUN drummer) and Toby Jeposon (ex little Angels) on guest vocals, at the Garage, Glasgow last January as part of the Rockradiofm charity bash.
Gun was definitely one of the most under-rated bands of all time. What a great rock sound they had. Thanks for posting one of my favorites. This must have been on HeadBangers Ball when it was good.
I got the 'Gallus' album a few months back cos I wanted to hear 'Welcome To The Real World' again. Then I heard this. Easily my favourite Gun song now, absolutely fuckin' awesome. Listen to it whilst driving, you WILL go faster!!!
Brilliant... brilliant.... brilliant. I think that says it all really!

@mrk1nky:
Gallus
(ga·luss) Dialect, chiefly Scot ~adj.
1. self-confident, daring, cheeky.
2. stylish, impressive (esp. Glasgow “He’s pure gallus, by the way“).
3. Orig. derogatory, meaning wild; a rascal; deserving to be hanged (from the gallows).
