Death In Vegas : Scorpio Rising

...thick, poisoned stream of druggy, sexy and occult imagery...

Featuring a Liam Gallagher vocal that could strip the chrome off a bumper, this is the Death In Vegas track to bring the voodoo to your Christmas party. With its thick, poisoned stream of druggy, sexy and occult imagery, it casts Liam as high priest, sacrificial victim and man who’s made it through the darkness. A bit more interesting, in other words, than "You’re my sunshine, you’re my rain". Never mind Nicole Appleton or the blokes in the hotel in Munich, in 2002 it was DIV who truly unleashed Liam’s Hidden Dragon.
