Earlier this month, the Scottish rock stalwarts marked the 30th anniversary of their iconic single “Word Up!” Originally released way back in July1994, this rocked-up remake of Cameo‘s 1986 Top 5 smash hit not only became GUN’s biggest hit but also won them their first-ever MTV Europe Music Award (EMA) in Berlin.

The song was originally made famous by Cameo, an American funk group known for their flamboyant frontman.

GUN‘s rendition of “Word Up!” was far from a novelty. By the time they recorded it for their aptly named 1994 album SwaggerGUN had already released two albums, Taking On The World (1989) and Gallus (1992), and had achieved eight self-penned Top 75 singles.

The idea of infusing rock guitars into “Word Up!” started as a bit of fun in their rehearsal room.

Listen to GUN‘s “Word Up!” on Spotify here. Watch the song’s original, official video here and GUN’s electrifying “Word Up!” performance on Top of the Pops here.

Still as true now as back then, a night out with GUN is like no other, The Spectator praising it as “terrific fun.” The band’s current lineup, featuring original members Dante Gizzi (Vocals) and Giuliano “Jools” Gizzi (Guitar), along with Paul McManus (Drums), Andy Carr (Bass), and Ruaraidh “Roo” Macfarlane (Guitar), promises an unforgettable live experience that blends iconic tracks with fresh hits from Hombres. 

The record soared straight to #10 in the UK Official Chart on release, the group’s highest position & first Top 10 since the aforementioned 1994 LP, Swagger, which also celebrates its 30th anniversary this year.

Jools declares, “We are beyond excited to take ‘Hombres’ on the road and share it live with our fans. This album has been a labour of love, and the response so far has been incredible. We promise to bring a show full of energy, new music, and the classic hits everyone loves!”

Formed in Scotland by guitarist Giuliano “Jools” Gizzi, GUN have achieved 3 UK Top 20 albums and 8 UK Top 40 singles over their lauded career. GUN has toured extensively over the years, criss-crossing the globe with The Rolling Stones, Black Star Riders, The Cult, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bon Jovi, and more, not to mention a slew of memorable festival sets at everything from Steelhouse to Download to Wacken. 2024 looks set to rack up even more miles in fine fashion.
