The Real Gun Guys Music Challenge

How many musical groups/artists/songs can you name that have something to do with guns? Here, I'll start it off with a few obvious ones:

1) Shiny Toy Guns (Carah Faye Charnow has an amazing voice)
2) Guns & Roses
3) Velvet Revolver
4) Warren Zevon - Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner
5) Marty Robbins - Big Iron

There are lots more I'm sure, but this is all I can think of off the top of my head.

How many can you come up with?

Song for a Wednesday Morning

I guess this goes along with my mood right now. I've liked this song for a long time and thought I'd share it here with you.

America
"Horse With No Name"

Good Tunes

Marty Robbins has always been one of my favorite singers. He died in 1982 of complications following cardiac surgery, and the world is poorer for his absence. Here's a couple of songs by him for your listening pleasure.

The first is one of my favorites, "El Paso." I tried to find a good video of the follow up song "El Paso City" but the one I found had severe problems with the audio. I do however suggest that you all give it a listen. It and "El Paso" bookend each other nicely. The second song here is the gun fighter classic "Big Iron" over scenes from one of my favorite animes Cowboy Bebop. Enjoy!
