[edit] Source

"Paul wrote the song because he was jealous about the money that Mick Jones and Joe Strummer were receiving from royalties." Is there a source for this?

Yeah, I think thats just conjecture and should be stated as such or not at all and even then a citation is needed. On a cheerier note, it's lovely to see how my little stub has blossomed! :)
Rowley, Scott (October 1999). "Paul Simonon Interview". Bassist Magazine (10). “By London Calling, Paul had learned to play guitar, and started contributing more to the songwriting. ("You don't get paid for designing posters or doing the clothes," he points out. "You get paid for doing the songs.") His first song, The Guns of Brixton, appeared on London Calling and also featured Paul on vocals.”  —PJoe F. (talk • contribs) 18:52, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Scractchy

Is this song supposed to be scratchy at the beginning, or is my CD screwed up?

Yeah, I think so. I believe it's one of the percussion instruments.

If I remember correctly velcro was pulled apart as part of the soundtrack

[edit] Maria Gallagher

Is Maria Gallagher, the young girl who sings a part of Guns of Brixton at the end of Broadway on Sandinista! Mickey Gallagher's daughter? Might be helpful to put in. --Soetermans 10:25, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Sure! —PJoe F. (talk • contribs) 18:54, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Talk Box

Is Paul Simonon using a talk box during the chorus of the song?
