The Guns of Brixton
"The Guns of Brixton" is a song by the English punk rock band The Clash. It was written and sung by bassist Paul Simonon, who grew up in Brixton, south London. The song has a strong reggae influence, reflecting the culture of the area, with a knowing nod to the classic reggae gangster film ''The Harder They Come''.
==Origins and recording==
"The Guns of Brixton" was the first song recorded by the band to be composed by Paul Simonon and to feature him as lead vocalist.〔Sweeting, Adam. (October 2004). "Death or Glory". ''Uncut''. p. 67.〕 By ''London Calling'', Paul Simonon had learned to play guitar, and started contributing more to the songwriting.〔Rowley, Scott. (October 1999), ''Interview with Paul Simonon''. Bassist Magazine.〕
:"You don't get paid for designing posters or doing the clothes", he said in an interview published by Bassist Magazine in October 1990, "you get paid for doing the songs."〔
The band, separated from their manager Bernard Rhodes,〔Gilbert 2005, pp. 212-213.〕 had to leave their rehearsal studio in Camden Town and find another location. The band began work on ''London Calling'' during the summer of 1979 at the so-called Vanilla Studios in Pimlico.〔Green 2003, p. 156.〕〔Sweeting, Adam. "Death or Glory". (October 2004). ''Uncut''. p. 58.〕 The band quickly wrote and recorded demos, and, in August 1979, entered Wessex Studios to begin recording the album. Produced by Guy Stevens, who at the time had alcohol and drug problems and whose production methods were unconventional,〔Gilbert 2005, p. 235.〕 it was recorded within a matter of weeks, with many songs, including "The Guns of Brixton", recorded in one or two takes.〔Sinclair, Tom. (24 September 2004). ("The Best Album of All Time" ). ''Entertainment Weekly''. Retrieved 23 August 2009.〕 It was also revealed that while recording the lead vocals for the song, Simonon sang the song while staring directly at a CBS executive who dropped by the studio during the sessions, giving Simonon the desired amount of emotion in his voice.
