2. Shooting Gallery, as "Devil Calling", on its self-titled album, Mercury, 07 3145 12184 2 2, released 1992. In addition to Suicide and Tregunna, this version also credits the Shooting Gallery (and former Kill City Dragons) singer Billy G. Bang, which seems a bit rich seeing as though he's only changed one line and added a couple more words here and there. Isn't that true for most cover versions?
