    7 Reasons Why Suicide Are Boss And Not Just Because The Boss Said So.
    POSTED





    I don’t know why, but it’s hard to figure that most people discover electronic protopunk musical duo Suicide thanks to Bruce Springsteen of all people.

    So we’ve put together 7 further reasons you should be aware as well as some additional audio/visual evidence.

    1. Suicide were punk rock. Before punk rock.

     


    2. They carried a bike chain on stage.

    3. Suicide were electronic music pioneers.

     


    4. Every electronic act ever owes them even more than Kraftwerk (and a lot of rock acts too).

    5. Suicide were (almost) unbearably in your face. They were the revolution, and it was live.

     


    6. “23 Minutes Over Brussels” is a live recording that turns into an actual riot.

    7. Suicide took their name from a title of a Ghost Rider comic book… the (2nd) best Marvel character ever.

    Suicide were Martin Rev (keyboards) and Alan Vega (demented vocals).

    So now you know but thanks for keeping the dream alive Boss.

     

    -TH



     

    PS - Bruce Springsteens new album “High Hopes” is out January 17. It includes a studio recording of his cover of “Dream Baby Dream” as well as a Saints cover.
