Cat Scratch Fever - Gunslinger

The studio recording of "Gunslinger" from the Cat Scratch Fever album "Death Western", (together with some live footage from 1895, sorry... 1995). The song was inspired by the 1950s Gregory Peck movie "The Gunfighter", and the band's performance was a thoughtful dramatic comment on the increasing glorification of weapons and man's inhumanity to man, with a little bit of Wild West Show thrown in for good measure..... (Many people assumed the band gave up the onstage gunfights as a PC gesture... The truth is that playing almost seven nights a week, it was costing a fortune in ammunition, even more than was spent on petrol).

Thank you so much for posting all these Cat Scratch Fever videos! Being a huge Paul Kappa fan, I'm greatly interested in any band he ever played with and really grateful for this excursion into the past that I missed. Such a pity I wasn't yet visiting Liverpool back in the nineties and didn't get to see this great band play live...
