THE 1000 BEST SONGS IN THE WORLD EVER.
186-David Bowie-Rock ‘N’ Roll Suicide.
1972-The song wasn’t released as as single until 1974 reaching Number 22.
Best Bit-At 2.13.The rear cover of the original vinyl LP contained the instruction,’TO BE PLAYED AT MAXIMUM VOLUME,’the instruction was omitted from all future re-releases.
Some music critics have cited the opening 2 tracks from this songs parent Album,’Ziggy Stardust'(‘Five Years’ and ‘Soul Love’) to be the greatest opening of any LP ever,I would like to put forward this song for contender as the best Album closer ever.
David Bowie(see also best songs 807-440-334-302 and 209) retired the character Ziggy Stardust at the final Ziggy Stardust concert at the Hammersmith Odeon,London on July 3,1973.Before singing ‘Rock ‘N’ Roll Suicide’ Bowie announced,’It’s the last show we’ll ever do.’The audience thought Bowie was retiring,but it was actually Ziggy he was killing off.
The very last time Bowie played ‘Rock ‘N’ Roll Suicide’ live was on his 1990 ‘Sound + Vision Tour.’
‘Oh no love you’re not alone,your watching yourself but you’re too unfair.’
