Under the God


"Under the God" is the first single released by Tin Machine, taken from their eponymous debut album in June 1989.

Song information

Though "Heaven's in Here" was actually the album's first single, it was only released promotionally, which made "Under the God" the first official single, giving the release an unusual distinction of a lead single being released after the album had been issued.

Music video

The band elected not to create music videos for the album's singles, and instead created a 13-track megamix video for the entire album. The video, directed by Julien Temple, presented edits of each song in vignette form, and included "Under the Gold" masqueraded as a performance, with the audience storming the stage.

Live performances

"Under the God" was performed live on both the 1989 Tin Machine Tour and 1991-92's It's My Life Tour. A live performance of the song, recorded in Sapporo, Japan in 1992, was included on the live album .
