Kings Of The Sun ® Official- DROP THE GUN

[@MrManny-ts6db]

The singer sounds so much like Bon Scott

[@darrenfrost2191]

What a fucking song. The drummer absolutely kills this. Such a shame they never got the recognition they blatantly deserved. But those who know, it’s a damn good club to be part of

[@joshgarrett2318]

One of the most underrated songs of all time. Needs millions of views.

[@kingsofthesunband]

Thanks Josh, it would be great if we did get millions of views ;)

[@julianamullan770]

Has to be one of the best rock songs ever

[@vanimull]

How can Drop the Gun still kick ass this much so many years later? This riff should win the Nobel Prize of rock. This takes me back to the dorm rooms at college in Bozeman, Montana. We literally cranked Full Frontal Attack daily for a year. It was epic, and thank you for creating what to this day is still an impeccable hard rock album!

Heavy Rock and Pop 💪🏽

La Heavy, 1990 - 1995.

[@MattiasA72]

Another great song from Cliff. It's weird how some great bands never get the recognition they deserve. Kings are definitely one of them.

[@kingsofthesunband]

Thankyou Mattias, wish we had of though, it's a tough life when all you know is how to write & play music !

[@ruthylopez]

Sounds like a mix of AC/DC and Dokken. And I mean that in a good way. And now that I think about, a hint of Aerosmith. This song rocks!!!! I’m gonna check it out some more.

[@bahabusky4230]

@@ruthylopez I don't hear Dokken here, but maybe that's how AC/DC would've sounded if Steven Tyler became their singer in 1980...

Know why this song has never been covered? Because it's PERFECTION!

[@richardfreeth4978]

Saw them play when they toured America circa 1990. They were even better live.

[@paulbattifora7617]

Saw the Kings play with Sammy Hagar in 1998 & Kiss in 2001. I have their debut on regular rotation - since 1989

[@olikat8]

Still one of the best R-n-R songs around; my younger daughter still loses her mind when this comes on. Heck, she even sings it at pre-school (they hassled me at first, but then noticed the dark blue Crown Vic w/push bumpers and lights). Whole reason why she has a drum pad set is this song

[@asd36f]

The amazing thing about Cliff's incredible drumming on this song is that he is using a basic kit - snare, tom-tom and bass drum, high-hat and four cymbals.

[@weakweek85]

That's literally what 90% of drummers play on

[@furzan2006]

Well, to be brutally honest, the kit is 5 pieces with one rack tom, two floor toms, bass drum & snare with four cymbals. It's a fairly common setup nowadays.

[@gunlean7738]

@@furzan2006 tru, except the gong type cymbal in the back. That's different.

[@andrewkeller1266]

This song is one of my top 10 songs of forever! Love playing along on my kit of Premiers! Love the rock shuffle kickass craziness that comes from behind! Pound on mate! Perfectly unique sound!, although a college DJ aired them as an obscure Aussie band! Well that was a crock of shit! Genius! How fitting is that song today?

[@kingsofthesunband]

@@andrewkeller1266 Hi Andrew, it is a great track to drive along to. I had my favourites when I was a kid playing along to certain songs, never got sick of it, drop the gun's got that tick-tock rhythm and you can experiment with fills good luck. Cliff

[@montymole7114]

Damn i love these boys and i am not even that way. Drummer mate, Keith Moon vibes. Every spare space is a fill, love it.

Yeah mate, I’m no timekeeper 😂

I’ve been following David meshow since the 90’s always puts on a show.

[@stonerdrums]

Ok. I'm sold. The best dam thing I've heard that's made me smile. This tone is like trying to jog through 4 feet of tar, and the smooth odd timing and chops from the drummer is spot on. Reminds me a bit of different bands. Such as, Russian Circles, Mammoth Volume, Natas, and Lowrider.

[@JesseFinkBooks]

What a song - touch of 'Respectable' by Rolling Stones

[@kingsofthesunband]

Yeah I reckon the stones ripped us off on that one 😂

[@lowenbad]

93 Rock in Sacramento, CA had this on heavy rotation when I was a kid but I couldn’t find the album in stores anywhere. I had a recording of it off the radio back then but couldn’t remember the name of the band. I found this video recently and it brought back a flood of memories! Great song!

[@guinn2415]

Great band . Best drummer Australia has produced

[@666adamjay]

I bought this tape(before CD came out) Whole thing sounded saw raw. Just like everything thereafter! That's what makes them special!

[@gregorypaglia4716]

Cliff, you guys are the best kept secret in rock. The last time I said that was after seeing ac/dc as an opening act for Savoy brown in 8/78!!! Deserve all the recognition you can get...nobody rocks like the aussies!!!

[@MWPoss]

This is what a rock song should sound like. In your face, kick ass power!

[@vladvampirelord8910]

Hard rock Kings forever.

[@timothy32]

Remember listening to this song when it came out on my local rock station WAAf. 107.3 they played it always . swimming in my pool with my friend we would always sing this song & jump in the pool when you guys would say he came out screaming I don,t wanna die. awesome song. love it memories. of being a teenager.

one of the greatest and underrated kick ass bands ever, so much in common with Jason and the Scorchers who they remind me of.

[@normjeremias7412]

I saw these guys at the Ballard Back stage in Seattle in 199?? Was totally blown away!!! party with them after..... Drank so much!!! I still think once in a while HOW much FUN these guys were!!

[@tangoindiamike9189]

A lot of youtubers are doing reaction videos of songs from all genres. They talk about keeping good music alive. I have asked a few of these youtubers to react to this song and gave them some background info on the band and how their U.S. touring got killed because someone was offended. I'll keep plugging until someone does a reaction to this and "Road to Nowhere" and "Serpentine". Then I'll introduce them to "Fire on the Mountain" and "Rock til ya Die", etc. When the viewing numbers start shooting upward, you'll know that I finally convinced someone to do it. I even contacted Sirius/XM radio to try and plug "Fire on the Mountain". It's just one of these things where you have to get ears on it and the rest will take care of it's self. All you other Kings fans have got to help me out by plugging these guys everywhere you can. They deserve to be noticed and remembered.

[@arnethetool9964]

This song, Drop the Gun needs to be requested to XM host Jim Florentine. He'll play it...

[@kingsofthesunband]

It takes a special fan like yourself to get behind a band that was pushed to the wayside of rock ‘n’ roll history but God what a band. Kings Of The Sun are one of the greatest rock bands to ever come out of Australia, all the best mate, thanks for your support. Clifford Hoad 😊🤘👍

[@alanstrom2221]

I had many a drunken night at a Pub seeing Bands like Kings of the Sun in the late 80's. I remember the Drummer would reach around behind his back to hit one of the cymbals. A girlfriend of mine thought the Band were "on themselves". I always thought the Band should've based themselves in L.A. and been as flamboyant and over the top as they wanted to be. Australia can be a restrictive market for some Bands. I preferred to see this Band and others with drunken mates than with my girlfriend.

[@nick2k]

I saw these guys at The Whisky-A-Go-Go in 1990. I still have a shirt and special edition CD from that night.

[@GerardGray]

bloody great music!

[@aus80srockradio94]

Had this as a ring tone for some time! This is an awesome song & so is the LP Full Frontal Attack. Rock Til' Ya Die is DEFINITLEY worth owning as well, brilliant.
