Heaven followed in the proud tradition of fellow Aussie pub rockers like AC/DC, The Angels & Rose Tattoo when they emerged with this killer single from their debut album "Twilight of Mischief" in 1982. The LP was full of fist pumpin' hard rockin' riffs galore, and the band had an excellent lead guitarist in Kelly & an outstanding hard rock vocalist in Alan Fryer, so big things were expected.

However, in the wake of AC/DC's massive success, the band took off to the US before firmly establishing themselves here, then constant line-up changes impeded their progress in the US, Mind you they developed a loyal following through constant touring & went on to issue 4 long players through until 1985. But for a short while there in 81/82, they were my fave live Aussie band



🫤 They weren't really popular here to be honest!
 

The Jackson Kelly or KE is a heavily modified version of the Gibson Explorer produced by Jackson Guitars. The guitar has been in production since the early 1980s, and is available in several different formats. It was heavily popularized in the early to mid 1990s due to its use by the guitarist Marty Friedman of Megadeth.

It was designed by and named after Bradford Kelly, guitarist for Australian heavy metal band Heaven in the early '80s. It was later more popularized by Megadeth guitarist Marty Friedman who had his own signature model at the time.

Feel the pressure rise
And hear the whistle blow
Bought a ticket of her own accord
To, I don't know
Packed her heart in a travellin' bag
And never said, "Bye-bye"
Something missin' in the neighborhood
Of her cryin' eyes
I stirred my coffee with the same spoon
Knew her favorite tune
Gone shootin'
My baby gone shootin'
Wrapped herself around
Like a second skin
Backed her favorite nag
But she could never win
I took an offer in another town
She took another pill
She was runnin' in an overdrive
A victim of overkill
She never made it past the bedroom door
What was she aiming for?
Gone shootin'
She's gone
Gone, gone, gone
Gone shootin'
My baby's gone shootin'
Look out, woo
(Gone shootin') how am I gonna get her down?
(Gone shootin') ow, look out, look out, look out
(Gone shootin') I shouldn't get in her way
(Gone shootin') ah, she sure is loaded
(Gone shootin') she's gone, gone, gone, gone, she's gone
(Gone shootin')
I used to love her so
