The Story Behind 'Janie's Got a Gun' By Aerosmith - Society Of Rock
via Aerosmith/YouTube A Chilling Song Aerosmith tackled a dark and serious subject with their 1989 single from Pump - "Janie's Got A Gun." Unlike their other songs, this one's about incest, child abuse, and revenge killing. It was a bit out of character for the group who are mostly known for tracks about the hedonistic lifestyle of rockstars.
