"Guns in the Sky" is one of the lean, tough cuts on Kick, the 1987 album INXS made with producer Chris Thomas, and it belongs to Michael Hutchence alone: he's credited with both the music and the words. Bob Clearmountain mixed it and David Nicholas engineered, and between them they leave it stripped to the bone, a clipped, stomping groove that's all attitude and no fat.
