"Diamond Dogs" is a 1974 single by David Bowie, and the title track of the album of the same name. The lyric introduces the listener to Bowie’s latest persona and his environment; Halloween Jack dwells on top of an abandoned skyscraper ("Manhattan Chase", aka One Chase Manhattan Plaza) in a post-apocalyptic Manhattan. The guitar sound is heavily influenced by The Rolling Stones, and signalled Bowie moving away from glam rock and closer to a proto-punk Stooges-influenced sound.〔Nicholas Pegg (2000). ''The Complete David Bowie'': p.63〕 The track was considered by many commentators to be an unconventional single, and it only reached number 21 in the United Kingdom. According to ''NME'' critics Roy Carr and Charles Shaar Murray, "As a potential hit single, the title track from ''Diamond Dogs'' was something of a non-event. Too long, too bleak in vision, too tough to dance to... you know the drill."〔Roy Carr & Charles Shaar Murray (1981). ''Bowie: An Illustrated Record'': p.64〕 While it failed to make the U.S. charts, the song became a central part of Bowie’s North American tour in 1974. The B-side was a version of Bowie’s 1971 single "Holy Holy", re-recorded during the ''Ziggy Stardust'' sessions the same year. ==Track listing== # "Diamond Dogs" (Bowie) – 5:56 (Only in Australia, a 2'58" edit was used (RCA 102462) instead of the full length album version〔''David Bowie -- http://www.illustrated-db-discography.nl/ entry for Diamond Dogs''〕) # "Holy Holy" (Bowie) – 2:20 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Diamond Dogs (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
