The original album, Tin Machine (1989), was a success, holding the number three spot on the charts of the UK.

It was now time for Bowie to change once more. He formed the band, Tin Machine, with American guitarist Reeves Gabrels, bassist Hunt Sales and brother Tony Sales on drums. They would release three alternative rock albums and then break up in 1993 without any real hits.
