The performance was considered especially controversial, with Amos dancing to the instrumentation in a sexual but angry manner. Pip was considered the angriest of her ADP alter egos. Amos, who was raped at knifepoint, opened her legs and used the knife prop to simulate her rapist's penis entering her, provoking great shock from most of her audience who were used to the song being performed in a very different way. Amos also used the gun to point at her audience, causing some in the audience to fear she might actually fire it in anger during the performance, although she did not.<ref name="lse-vic">{{cite thesis |last=Finding |first=Deborah |date=October 2009 |title='Give me myself again': Sexual violence narratives in popular music |type=PhD |chapter=Controversial 2007 Chicago performance of 'Me And A Gun' as 'Pip' |publisher=[[London School of Economics]] |url=http://etheses.lse.ac.uk/2761/1/U615710.pdf |access-date=August 12, 2021}}</ref> * On November 12β14 and 17, 2011, during her Night of Hunters tour, Amos performed "Me and a Gun" for all four of her South Africa concerts.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://toriamos.com/tours/2011.html|title=Tori Amos Night of Hunters Tour Dates|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131225233841/http://toriamos.com/tours/2011.html|archive-date=2013-12-25}}</ref> * On June 16, 2022, during her Ocean to Ocean tour, Amos performed "Me and a Gun" as part of the solo section during the penultimate show of the US leg in Los Angeles. <ref>{{Citation |title=Tori Amos - Me and a Gun - Los Angeles 6/16/22 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MNCHmItHKo |language=en |access-date=2022-06-17}}</ref>
