"%22Diamond Dogs%22 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\u2019s latest persona and his environment; Halloween Jack dwells on top of an abandoned skyscraper (%22Manhattan Chase%22, 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.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, %22As 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.%22While it failed to make the US charts, the song became a central part of Bowie\u2019s North American tour in 1974.The B-side was a version of Bowie\u2019s 1971 single %22Holy Holy%22, re-recorded during the Ziggy Stardust sessions the same year." . .
