From the album Tattooed Millionaire (1990)
“Tattooed Millionaire” by Bruce Dickinson appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 1990. It was first released in 1990 on the album Tattooed Millionaire. Its best result is #650 on the Z-Rock Top 1001 Songs of All-Time (1990). In the combined RockLists rankings it is #1,769 hard rock song of all time.
"Tattooed Millionaire" is the title track and lead single from Bruce Dickinson's first solo album, released in April 1990, and the English metal singer wrote it with guitarist Janick Gers. Gers plays guitar, Andy Carr bass and Fabio Del Rio drums, with Chris Tsangarides producing and engineering and Nigel Green on the mix.
It's a sneer at rock stars living large in the gossip pages: Ultimate Classic Rock called it a song about celebrity tabloid rockers, and a 1990 review in The Georgia Straight heard it going after the excesses of the L.A. rock scene. It climbed to 18 on the UK chart, and Storm Thorgerson directed the video.
