Puzzle Description:

if I'd have been the one guessing, I'd not have to take a shot in the dark

Ozzie Osbourne?
#2: Kurt Kowalczyk (bahabro) on Dec 1, 2012 [SPOILER]
nope. sorry, Norma.

shot in the dark is indeed an ozzie song, but that was just a gun reference. there is a song title in the hint, but you latched onto the wrong one and the wrong part
#3: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Dec 1, 2012
Ah, well. I tried. Great gun, by the way.
#4: Tina Wismer (twismer) on Dec 1, 2012 [SPOILER]
38 Special?
#5: Kurt Kowalczyk (bahabro) on Dec 1, 2012 [SPOILER]

My first guess was to ask if there had been a band called Revolver?

Looking at Wikipedia tells me I was right but that it existed 1990-4, which means it wasn't an 80's band.

Fabulous gun Kurt.:)
#8: Kurt Kowalczyk (bahabro) on Dec 1, 2012 [SPOILER]

thanks, Al!

great pic! i was going to guess the gunners - ie guns n roses!
#10: Kurt Kowalczyk (bahabro) on Dec 2, 2012 [SPOILER]
thanks, Jac!

I thought about doing GnR, but that'd be way to easy to guess...but then again, a good image and fun solve makes for a good puzzle. may be worth doing even if it is obvious...

Nicely designed puzzle, Kurt.

thanks again, J!

ZZ Top apparently also enjoyed "gun love."

Very good puzzle, bro!
#16: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Jun 15, 2017 [SPOILER]
Guns N Roses got started in the late 80s...

I thought Saphir, with the song "Shot in the dark." Even with one really bad line concerning a vegetable it's very catchy.
