}}'''"Big Man With A Gun"''' is the ninth track on ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]]''.
In a 2024 article from ''Spin'' magazine, it was revealed that this track was recorded as an afterthought.[https://www.spin.com/2024/03/nine-inch-nails-the-downward-spiral-turns-30/] The song's lyrics were also the subject of controversy when they were cited by conservatives William Bennett and C. Delores Tucker during their crusade against explicit lyrics in rap and hip-hop, egregiously mislabeling [[Nine Inch Nails]] as one of these acts.
It is rumored that the sound effect at the beginning of the song is an adult film actress in the throes of passion. The sound was reportedly run through a program by Tommy Lee, who called the resulting sound "Steakhouse."
