Rick SAID he borrowed the “Love Gun” title from KISS. He dug their concerts. He also bought a Gene Simmons Axe Bass & used it on his 1982 album cover “Throwin’ Down”
i remember when i was a kid and one of my tios came to pick us up from catholic school we used to be embarassed because theyd pull up with tremendous bass a zappco board and switches bumpin some shyt like this. now me n my cousins love it
If this ain't Funky I don't know what is,that groove is ferocious, monster bass line just setting it off.i saw him do this live and he could have ended it right there,him and Stone City Band tore it all the way up
love this song still, love all the instruments, love how he mixed a lil rock up in it, everything! I miss rick james...he was bad a$$, didnt give a u know what, I can go on lol
Damn I can imagine vince mcmahon pitching this gimmick to 2 cold scorpio , and even dancing to it, Now i know where they got that hat and costume for flash funk, Damn you jim cornette for leading me to this video. Dancing to this now in the shower lol.
I remember being mad at Rock James when this came out because I was a huge KISS fan and I thought they were the only ones who could have a song called Love Gun....lol
jpdeuce73 I was kinda upset as a Parliament - Funkadelic fan... 2 years before ... They, came out with the " BOP GUN" ... Us Funkateers thinks he bit them more than their labelmates KISS.
Just passing thur💯this album was the best funk album of 1979 brass Construction Parliament-Funkadelic Roy Ayers Teena Marie, mass production cameo Rick James had to keep up with Parliament Funkadelic that's why he always released the album around the same time when Parliament came out a Funkadelic when flashlight came out that changed the world of music nobody was doing what George Clinton was doing and Bootsy rubber band Rick James had to keep up and then busting out came out✌
love this song still, love all the instruments, love how he mixed a lil rock up in it, everything! I miss rick james...he was bad a$$, didnt give a u know what, I can go on lo

How is it that I only just recently came across this amazing song (thanks to Pandora) a few days ago???? Why was this not a huge hit in 1979, getting tons of radio play???? Better late than never.
This talented musician left us 20 years ago today (August 6, 2004). We miss you, Rick!
Man I was 10 years old when this bad ass song came out. My Pop would play it in the house. My parents are too funky for this planet!!
Yes Rick James was the best
That bass guitar though
FIRE....

Rick at his best !! Still jamming this in 2022 😎
Still jamming in 24!!

He looks just as good as this music sounds 🤩 c'mon
Rick SAID he borrowed the “Love Gun” title from KISS. He dug their concerts. He also bought a Gene Simmons Axe Bass & used it on his 1982 album cover “Throwin’ Down”
I was in the 8th grade when this came out in 1979
This should be played in a '79-'81 Trans Am gunnin' down the highway at top speed!
Rick James is a God who decided to have some good time on Earth
I TOTALLY AGREE❤🖤❤🖤💙💜

This song has been eclipsed by his later hits. This song deserves to get some more plays. As good as Give It and Super

Flash Funk baby!!!!
Jim mentioned this song again on the 22/11/2018 cornette experience in relation to flash funk and vince
The image of Vince strutting to this song could never compare to how I imagine it
I bet Vince loved every moment of that
God damn pal
I'm Vince McMahon bitch.
He also mentioned Mary Jane on a recent episode of the drive thru.
"Can't stop moving!" The funk is "so contagious!!!
Sounds just as funky as when I first heard it back in 1979. "Ah, BANG-BANG!"
That's so cool! I heard this about 10 years ago. Are you from the US? Was this a big hit out there?
Ritchie Rosson Yep

One of the great music intros. Rick James rocked!!!
