The first single, "Streets of Love/ Rough Justice", just reached No. 15 in the UK singles chart, while A Bigger Bang entered the UK charts at No. 2/No. 3 in the US/France. However, its singles failed to become a major hit in US but even before the singles were released, A Bigger Bang was noted for the song "Sweet Neo Con", which was critical of both President George W. Bush and American politics and caused minor controversy (!). We got the powerful "Streets Of Love" video, directed By Jake Nava, shot at Zaphod Beeblebrox, a nightclub in Ottawa, Canada (on 16mm film!) and the mimed performances of the same song and "Rough Justice". There´s an original unaired (?) version of "Rain Fall Down", directed by Swedish film director Jonas Åkerlund, too explicit for prime time and a softer (?) 2nd version.
