"Love Gun" is a song by the American hard rock band KISS released on their 1977 album of the same name. The b-side is the album track "Hooligan", a song written and sung by drummer Peter Criss.
Written and sung by guitarist/vocalist Paul Stanley, he has claimed in several interviews since its release that it is one of his favorite KISS songs, even stating that "... "Love Gun" is quintessential KISS and is probably one of the five signature essential [KISS] songs."[1]
"Love Gun" has been played on every KISS tour since its release, and has made numerous appearances on KISS greatest hits and compliation albums despite the fact that it stalled at #61 on the U.S. singles chart.[2]
