Under The God
"Under the God" was the first single released by Tin Machine, taken from their eponymous debut album in June 1989.
The track, a straightforward rock song, established Tin Machine’s manifesto for back-to-basics rock and roll.
The single was, unusually, released after the album had been issued, and despite a video directed by Julien Temple (which masqueraded as a performance, with the audience storming the stage), only reached #51 in the UK. However, the song was moderately successful in America, charting at #4 on the Billboard Modern Rock chart and #8 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart, despite failing to chart on the Billboard Hot 100. It was performed live on both of Tin Machine’s tours.

Famous quotes containing the word god:
“The poet is no tender slip of fairy stock, who requires peculiar institutions and edicts for his defense, but the toughest son of earth and of Heaven, and by his greater strength and endurance his fainting companions will recognize the God in him. It is the worshipers of beauty, after all, who have done the real pioneer work of the world.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
