Tin Machine Song Lyrics

Tin Machine was a British rock supergroup formed in 1988 by David Bowie alongside guitarist Reeves Gabrels and brothers Tony and Hunt Sales, serving as Bowie's attempt to escape his commercial pop persona through raw, guitar-driven rock. Their self-titled debut album and tracks like "Under The God" and "Prisoner Of Love" showcased a harder, more collaborative sound that divided critics but allowed Bowie creative freedom after years of mainstream success. Though the band lasted only until 1992 and produced just two studio albums, Tin Machine represented a crucial transitional period that helped Bowie rediscover his artistic edge. The group's aggressive, unpolished approach influenced Bowie's later solo work and demonstrated his willingness to risk commercial failure for artistic authenticity.
