Metallica's version of "Whiskey in the Jar" aint as good as the one Thin Lizzy did 25 years ago, and the song is a traditional Irish folk song.
Can anybody identify the guns pictured on the Zevon anthology cd? esp. the large scoped stainless revolver he is shooting with Hunter S. Thompson? Other interesting bits abouts Warren's tunes, in "Bad Luck Streak in Dancing School" the "handclap" sounds are actually a S&W M29 .44 mag fired into a trash can full of gravel and "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner" was written by Warren and an ex-mercenary, bar-owner in Spain.
Warren mentions guns in many of his other songs, including "Frank and Jesse James" , "Play It All Night Long" , "Jeannie Needs a Shooter", and "Searching for a Heart"

forgot to mention "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead" - "Got a .38 special up on shelf,
I'll sleep when I'm dead"
