What is the song Gunslinger by Avenged Sevenfold about?

Answer 1

It's story told about a soldier through the eyes of his brother, the soldier fought in war only wanted to come back to his girl only to find out she had someone else and he ended up committing suicide, atleast what I get from the lyrics and video cause it shows him in war thinking about her returning to find her with another man, then shows his brother crying at his casket

Answer 2

According to the lead singer M. Shadows, it was specifically written it for the troops in Iraq, and people who are at war anywhere in the country, or anywhere in any country, that are away from people they love.

According to rhythm guitarist Zacky Vengeance, the song is about how instead of complaining about whose fault it is, or why they're over there fighting wars, it's just about the human element of being separated from the people you love.

Answer 3

gunslinger is about a man going to war and about missing his loved ones and how he plans to get back to her

Answer 4
