For us [it] is our live sound." There were no demos made for the album; Gabrels said "Basically the album is the demo." Bowie enjoyed making the album, saying "I'm so up on this I want to go and start recording the next album tomorrow." Stylistically, he felt that the album was a continuation from "Scary Monsters": "It's almost dismissive of the last three albums I've done. Getting back on course, you could say." Gabrels would later describe the songs on the album as the band "screaming at the world", and Tony Sales, bassist for the band, described the band's approach to the music they created by saying: As the band finished the album, Bowie was sure the band would continue. He said, "There'll be another two albums at least. Oh, yes, this will go for a while. While we're all enjoying playing with each other so much, why not?" Instead of making music videos for each single from the album, Tin Machine chose to release a single 13-minute long megamix video for the album, "created in opposition to expectation." The video was directed by Julien Temple, who had previously worked with Bowie on videos and releases such as "Jazzin' for Blue Jean" (1984), "Absolute Beginners (1986), and "Day-In Day-Out" (1987). Gabrels recalled that the band "used K-Tel Records' late night advertising [informercials] as our template" for the video. "We had certain vignettes in our head, like us playing in a venue, then we wanted to add elements that were a little more vaudevillian, such as the monkey unplugging the band, which I think was a Hunt idea." The video was recorded at The Ritz in New York. The video was only released as part of a "very limited promotional box set", and never commercially, until its 30th anniversary in 2019. The band played an unannounced live show in Nassau while recording the album, and then made a live appearance at the International Rock Awards Show on 31 May 1989. Two weeks later, the band embarked on their 12-show Tin Machine Tour, wrapping up in early July. Tracks from this and the second Tin Machine album were recorded live during the 1991-1992 It's My Life Tour and released on "" (1992).  8 songs performed in Paris on 25 June 1989 were released digitally in August 2019, to coincide with the album's 30th anniversary.
