Paul Stanley, who sings lead vocals on the song, has claimed in several interviews since its release that it is one of his favorite Kiss songs, offering the opinion that "'Love Gun' is quintessential Kiss, and is probably one of the five signature essential Kiss songs."[2] Stanley has also said that "The Hunter" section of the Led Zeppelin song "How Many More Times" inspired the lyrics of "Love Gun". Stanley plays bass on the track in addition to singing and playing rhythm guitar.[3] Billboard described it as having a "high energy level" with "power guitar riffs."[4] Cash Box said that it "has cute lyrics, and the army of Kiss admirers should jack it up to respectable chart status."[5]
"Love Gun" has been played on every Kiss tour since its release, and has made numerous appearances on Kiss live albums and compilation albums, despite the fact that it peaked at only no. 61 on the Billboard Hot 100.[6]

«Love Gun» es una canción de la banda estadounidense de Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Kiss. Es el sexto track de su álbum Love Gun de 1977, del cual fue extraído como sencillo. Fue escrita y cantada por el cantante y guitarrista rítmico de la banda, Paul Stanley, y ha sido interpretada en todos los conciertos de Kiss desde el "Love Gun Tour". Si bien es uno de los temas clásicos del grupo y uno de los más populares, no tiene un videoclip oficial. Es característica de este tema su introducción de guitarras y baterías simulando un tableteo. Es una de las pocas canciones de Kiss donde Paul toca el bajo en lugar de Gene Simmons. La cara B es el álbum de la pista "Hooligan", una canción escrita por el baterista Peter Criss. Paul Stanley ha afirmado en varias entrevistas desde su lanzamiento que se trata de una de sus canciones favoritas de KISS, incluso afirmando que "... "Love Gun" es KISS por excelencia, y es probablemente una de las cinco canciones esenciales de KISS. Se ubicó en puesto #55 en las listas de éxitos estadounidenses.[1][2][ru] Love Gun (песня)
