GUN Better Days

[AlloaAthlete]

So never got the credit they deserved, and so much better than some of the tripe that was around at the same time! One of the all-time best Scottish bands IMO!

[excessfm]

Superb!.

[emtee01]

Great song - their first album stands up against anyone else's - one of the great debuts of all time.

[Ericano6]

how nice to hear this again

[sean4169]

love it,badly underrated band.

[MrForcat]

1989 .. riding the RD350 with this song in my mind and no worries about the future

[Paddockman]

@MrForcat What a quote sums it up to perfection indeed!!! :-)

[rakelaf]

Siempre llega algo mejor !!

canción de hace más de 15 años?

[huilnik]

THIS IS BOMB!

[Domwhat]

great great song. Band were not cool though

[justingallien]

@Domwhat Why do you say the band was not cool? Just curious?

[rakelaf]

Hummmm dsd cuando !!!!

[djo0719]

great band and great songs!!! so glad to find them on you-tube!!

[BuckRogersLive]

Classic, Gun rocked !!

[syrka2000]

Back when I was sixteen lol!

[caledoniadreamin]

aaw what memories! ...still think o ya jools! ;) xx

[KittieDanger]

I used to have this CD, sadly it was stolen out of my car...I came out just as the dude was grabbing things from my car, all I cared about was my CD's, I chased his ass although I was wearing almost nothing due to it being 4AM & he had a Glock & I had a Maglite, in 40 degree weather, in the rain...he got away...:(

[dontpanicblink]

what a great band.' this could he heaven but this feels like hell ' .. scotland under the torys

[skennedy72]

Lots of memories growing up with GUN, amazing band, miss Mark Rankin!!!

So true, easy the most underrated band ever.

[jscrash]

@skennedy72 AGREE totaly, most underrated band of all time.

[marianmaquillaje]

Great song and great band

[jamesdelaney1000]

Probably one of the most underrated bands ever,possibly the loudest too.lol

[MrJohnarob]

forgot just how good this band are...sure i seen them supporting the rolling stones at hampden around 1990/1992 or even earlier

[stoneroller1]

Much better than U2 !!!!

[togs71]

@stoneroller1 Thats just silly talk but yeah very good band.

[MrGoncaloM]

GREAT GREAT GREAT SONG! completly underestimated song. what happened to this band???

[wordupgun]

@MrGoncaloM Jools Dante Al Thronton and Toby Jepson (ex Little Angels) reformed GUN for a couple of years from 2008. Gordon Mcneil replaced Al on drums for a while, then Toby left to persue other projects. The guys now have a new lineup of Jools, Dante (vocals), Derek Brown (bass) and Paul McManus on drums. They are going to working on new material with Chris Sheldon who produced the Swagger album. They have also re adopted the original GUN logo.

[jarhead572]

@wordupgun They played at the Big Country concert last night

[wordupgun]

@jarhead572 Yes, I know...

[jallison419]

remember seeing this on power hour at 2am after coming home drunk and turning the volume up forgetting about everyone else in the house.this was about 20 years ago when i was young but i still love it now,absolute class.

[HyperColours]

I played this on big Tannoy system in a Mosque in Glasgow when I was a teenager and I got my fucking ass kicked but it was worth it! The good old days man!

[joanet2008]

What a great band!!! It brings me back to my 18 years old. I was always listening to the Gallus album.

Life to rock'n'roll!!!!

[stevehanrock403]

Great drums. I am so down with that beat.

[SuperSmozz]

I miss this band!!!!

[Ian6245]

Great song. Liked it back then. Even better now.

[waltermitty67]

wow

[cinderella528]

I love this video.

I love this band.

[leviporter]

see this great band long time ago the best love levi luton 

[leviporter]

see this band so good, levi luton

[EXOC3T]

Good live band, saw them supporting Def Leppard at Birmingham in about `93 I think.

Impressive.

[CartoonsKick]

Just heard this on Rock Radio, and went over to amazon.co.uk to buy it. Awesome song!

[TheDarkFoxXIII]

Wow! The lead singer looks like my fiancé. He is cute :D

[annamancsi]

Where can I find the lyrics of this great-great song?

[wordupgun]

@annamancsi in the cd sleeve of the GUN album Taking on the world...

[annamancsi]

@wordupgun Thanks... The only problem is that I don't have the album. If I had I wouldn't ask it...

[Toybotaboy1]

@annamancsi It's just an idea, but have you tried listening to it, i can hear EVERY word clear as a bell :-)

[MrChrizjb]

Happy Days, hope todays gig at Paisley goes gr8 guys

[devilive14]

Awesum attitude metal of the nineties....\m/

[reallyboardstiff]

live and grew up in Utah! if you want great music don't come here.i was shopping back quit a few years ago and found this cd in a bagin bin. and i have been hooked ever since. great music great band. long live youtube.

[pawnsacrifice1]

I saw these guys in 1989 at Elgin townhall in Scotland, then the next year they supported Simple Minds at Wembley Stadium.

[wordupgun]

@pawnsacrifice1 I saw them in Bubbles nightclub in Elgin/ Newmills I think it was in 1989... also saw them In Aviemore that year....

[pawnsacrifice1]

@wordupgun I think we had a choice of seeing Gun or The River Detectives. Thankfully I was talked out of The River Detectives!

They supported SM with The Silencers & Texas

[pawnsacrifice1]

@wordupgun you might be right about the venue...it was 21 years ago :(

[wordupgun]

@pawnsacrifice1 aye, seems like yesterday though... :-) Think 'Bubbles' was part of a hotel...

[nelopt1]

seen them in Portugal opening for Rolling Stones and turn the audience wild. Nobody knew them.....but me!!!

[mrdamage12]

THEY WERE BETTER DAYS

[alg1573]

5-a-side at the bella. Tam Whitelaw Much respect!

[bucky468]

This song is good for a band that had just minor success in the US. They were huger in the UK. This song rocks!

[bucky468]

Is this hair metal? According to All Music Guide Gun was more an alt-rock band similar to INXS & U2. This sounds like 80s hair metal but then again so did Drivin N Cryin (also a college rock fave.)

[wordupgun]

@bucky468 no, was described as dance rock when it came out....

[bucky468]

@wordupgun What band would these guys bear the closest resemblance to - Glass Tiger (they're an 80s dance rock band from Canada if you're new to them)? I do like this song regardless.

[YKMTI]

this song just makes to remember the past :)

[Cheploscam]

damn these guys rock

[wordupgun]

on tour now...

[BecciBarham1993]

Hey, this is such a great song!!!! loved it. xxxxxx

[snookums520]

Who is on the drums here?

[wordupgun]

Scott Shields...

[snookums520]

I thought Jim McDermott played drums for this?

[wordupgun]

possibly in the studio recording the album as I know he did do some studio work for GUN but Scott played in the video and live on tour...

[ponferman]

buenos recuerdos y mejor musica, GUN 4EVER!!!!!!!!!!

[MegaTexasLover]

FANTASTIC!!!!!!

ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT

[divedaz]

Just love it, any1 have any guitar tabs?

[wordupgun]

[gazzanic1]

whatever happened to baby stafford ?

[wordupgun]

Last I heard he was living in London but not sure what he is doing there, whether still in the music biz or not...

[nickbaldeagle01]

Hmmm. I typed "Where is Baby Stafford?" into Google and got a blog about a couple and a puppy stafford dog.

Not quite what I was looking for.

[underkillTV]

underkilltv for a great interview

[swordkata]

good song

[rjcp7353]

this is 90/100 - 'one reason' = 100/100 - don't say it's over' = 100/100 - 'watching the world go by' = 100/100

nothing else to say but that 'GUN FCUKIN' ROCK'

[mrmotley711]

great song!!

[vikingwarlord1250]

[danielkovic]

the best of 80's!!!

[dontpanicblink]

great song, great band

[jockhughes]

Brings back memories of being a drunken arse up level8 at Strathclyde uni student union in the early nineties.

[rovanpera]

GUN on Lisbon, Portugal, 6 of November.

[izzzzythedog]

seems birmingham is a gun free wasteland , shame , would have loved to have gone

[wordupgun]

GUN are currently on tour...for more go here....

[Cheploscam]

thes guys rock and always will

[stigwallah]

wow yes! my 6th form days! still sounds great!!!!

[Dreddloxx]

I remember buying this track on 12''...They were damn good,but they dropped off the radar completely after supporting The Stones...weird!

[Dreddloxx]

Whatever happened to these guys?!

the last time I heard them,I was sat in a park in Manchester getting off my head and they were supporting The Rolling Stones in the stadium close to the park...It was a FREE gig! I could'nt see the bands,but the sounds were all I needed at that moment in time...!

[smalltounboy]

Brilliant track, it was the soundtrack to my adolescence, first heard it on the BBC Radio 1 Friday night rock show with Tommy Vance about 1989, couldn't believe that they were from Glasgow, exciting time for music in Scotland.

[pasha28dio]

This song rocks! I have always loved it.

[bateria76]

i Love this song it has strength,rythim and hope,long live to r&r!!!

[bateria76]

i saw them at expo 92 seville,asowe!!!!

[Tehomet]

Awesome song. Thanks for uploading.

[kissonetwo]

these guys rock!!!!

[galdacanobaby]

12 inch version is epic

[Jacksonguitarjoe]

Totally underestimated band.

[kutinoham]

absolute rock!

[zoned247]

@Jacksonguitarjoe, yes, absolutely. The fact they are unknown to so many is a crime. Gallus is a fantastic album. May we keep listening to this sound forever. Gun Rule !!

[Frash68]

Oh my gosh! I've been searching for this song. I was so into it when I was younger, seems I still am :D Woohoo!

[AitorLagunilla]

One of the best!!!!

I still remember when they used to play in the Basque Country (Berango, Tolosa...).

Much better days!!!!

[Cheploscam]

these guys rock and and always will

[Twodeez]

Top song.....

[goofball677]

good tune, a lot of truth in those statements

[FAEMINOSMITH]

Nostalgia de aquellos buenos tiempos.

¡Qué grupazo, madre mía!

Fui a verlos las 4 ó 5 veces que vinieron a MAdrid. En directo eran aún mejores.

Seguro que con Toby Jepson van a conocer una segunda juventud !!!

[ukdk666]

Still class after all these years

[musicfunkydude]

Surely one of the best rock and roll bands to emerge from the Uk Their manager should have sold his soul to get them a Us tour with Bon Jovi at the the time and they would have been Massive,Two of the best lead guitarists from Scotland no doubt,I would have dealt with the ego's by remindeing them this chemistry only happens once in a lifetime so embrace it and protect it, up there with Thin Lizzy but more relevant.check out Watching the world go by on the album Gallas! classic.George rom Fife

[Domwhat]

....slightly over the top, but they were certainly good. :0) Good song.

[capuc71]

WHAT happened to Gun?? They were great!

[marythedol]

quality ....wot a blast from the past

[mireiamireiamireia]

Magnífic grup, meravellosa cançó.

[nug89tex]

this song is a real hymn, their music was great, what lyrics!so many years and they still sound great. They were the best!

[chaporosti]

Life started there back in 1990.. thanks Gun.

[mikekaraoke]

@chaporosti they were singed in late 87 and this song Better Day's is 80's not 90's

[wordupgun]

@mikekaraoke Better days was released in July 1989... So just made it into the 80's...Most of their other songs were 90's and now 2000's...

[gemini070672]

love it, simple as!!

[headstones]

oh ya....

[cedlticboy]

Glasgows finest hail hail!!!

[superbarriman]

Lastima que se vea tan chucurrio, llevaba tiempo intentando recordar quien cantaba esto... y hoy me vino la inspiracion..."¡esto era de Gun!

[messner14]

great song great band - it's a pity you can't find guitar tabs for this and other tracks on "taking on the world"

[messner14]

where can i get the guitar tab for this song can't find it anywhere

[stewmunny]

try playing CD in mediaplayer and use slow down function you'll learn it in no time.

[knutby]

One of the best British bands that came arund in the 80`s and 90`s alongside Little Angels. Funny thing that their new lead singer is Toby Jepson....

[TheRebel2007]

When this song first came out I thought it should have been the actual theme to "The Wonder Years"...but what do I know?

[headstones]

gun kickin azz

[mmartiank9]

Another BADASS! song from the past has everything to do with today.

[urbancoyote8]

Ive seen a lot of great live bands and Gun were up there with the best

[tamudojost]

Simplemente G E N I A L!!!!!

[looneechic]

choon!!!

[batfreak1970]

While deployed to Saudi Arabia during the Gulf War in 1990 and 1991 this album kept me grounded and this song in particular. These guys could never realize how much they and their music meant to me at that time in my life. Heres raising a cold one to you mates !!

[wordupgun]

gunrock ning com

[dasagis]

la mejor canción de mi vida

[papaualniser]

i saw them 14 years ago in the jai alai, in Huesca Spain. i will always remember this band, it was my first concert and i had a perfect time. they were a excellent band that night... i will do everything to repeat that feeling!!

[rakeMadrid]

[juampy69]

lots of Gun fans here in Spain, they played twice o thrice in Madrid, great shows, I got plenty of good memories of them. Greetings from Spain to all Gun fans around the world

[hep111]

these guys shouldve got real big, id say theyre better than bon jovi and guns n roses!

GUN!

[Pyronhiro]

Uhh yeah, happy that I've found GUN here on Youtube! I liked them very much 20 years ago already and I still don't understand why they don't have had more success. They composed a lot of perfect radio-Rocksongs, catchy positive good rock.

[MickeyLove01]

Rankin sounds like Richard Ashcroft, I thought they had the same voice.

[cancunchubby]

gran cancion!!

[spiritualstu]

One of their best!

[JoaoVazter]

great

[hootaz74]

re-cap about 20 years ago...... thats old age for ya LOL

[hootaz74]

i saw these guys at walsall j10 about 22 or 23 years ago thanks for the reminder :O)

[zangman70]

I was first introduced to these guys in 92!!! Wow!!!! They're infectious! Catchy! Great! It brings back memories and they're all good! Good Rock n Roll! There's not much of that these days! Thanks Gun!! And....Welcome back! Canada loves you!

[Gunlove08]

[mackdaddytodd666]

[elviradark6]

wow!..sweet vid!

[mattthehoople1974]

I saw these guys at a small club in Tampa Florida around 1990. I was blown away. I knew then they were destined for stardom. The guys were so nice and down to earth too when I met them. Mark was nothing but a true gentleman. I played a couple games of pool with the Gizzi brothers(they kicked me and my friends asses haha)Anyone know what Baby Stafford is up to these days? That boy was unreal live...

[Infiltrado80]

I hope GUN return

[wordupgun]

GUN are playing Rockers in Midland Street Glasgow on July 11th as a warm up to T in the park the following day.... for ticket details, see the url in the info section of this page...

[lizardman50]

classic anthem rock ........ nuff said

[wgbs13]

I saw Gun first Time...think 89/90 with the Stones in hanover....we cam in....and it sounded ab bit like U2 in "better daays"*g*....but it wasent U2....it was better...after that...we got earlier at the next gigs. And we saw the cpl. show. GUN was great ...realy!

[labizorro]

Oh man I used to sing these songs when I was sit down on the outside waiting for some good waves to surf!!!

Good time won´t last forever :( I saw their latest live concerts in Lisbon. Great band

[Scotsa1]

Eh, not a new guitarist. that is, indeed Mr Gizzi. Yes he used to have long hair, but, people get older, and things happen to their bodies, like losing their hair . . . . . . lol.

Remember, it's been a good few years since you all last saw him. But I see him every few days and I think he looks quite ditinguished . . . . . . . lol. Not a word Tinman!!

[MadHeadz64]

Oh right,

new gutarist.

I knew that.....

*shifty eyes*

[MadHeadz64]

wow the guitarist used to have long hair!?

WHOA!!!!!!!!

HE shud grow it again.

Y did he go bald?

[dainmanutin]

Great memories. Saw them a million times! Fucking brilliant live band. Not the same without Mark now although Jepson is decent.

[poisongirl666avenged]

This is bringing back some memories from days gone by.Brilliant

[tschrky]

this is kickass song
