You've overlooked Ian Rilen their Bassist and Songwriter 1947 - 2006

[@gorillafunk725]

Old enough to grow up when it first came out. Legends! Banned in France for life. 👍 😂 If you heckled or upset Angry. Even though he is 5 ft nothing. Proving beyond doubt its not the dog in the fight but fight in the dog. He would jump into the crowd & bash the $#!t out of you. REAL Rock & Roll outlaws. Who lived those lyrics. Not like the soy latte, poser, pretenders filling a market demographic we have now. RIR ( rest in ROCK) Mr Wells. Miss that slide with a half smoked cigarette hanging out your gob the most. Glad I LIVED in a time with memories to recall with a dirty knowing smile. Only those who were there will understand. 😁

[@CailenCambeul]

@Biggus Dickus They are the best band that Australia ever had. Came from the same origins as AC/DC. Their albums were produced by the Young family. It all comes from The Easybeats - which you can look up. Also look up The Angels for a softer but good rocking sound. They are the Pub Rock Bands that are remembered today - All by Albert & Son - which means George Young.

Ian Rilen their Bassist and Songwriter 1947 - 2006 Ian was also a pioneering member of legendary Band 'X' RIP Mick Cocks, Dallas Digger Royale, Pete Wells & Lobby Lloyde. That's a lot of members for one Band to lose. Lobby was a legend in his own right with the Coloured Balls and Wild Cherries and Billy Thorpe and The Aztecs. Lobby's list of Production credits is one of the most impressive lists in Australian history. Sunnyboys, Machinations, Sardine V, Flaming Hands, Models, Painters and Dockers, Buster Brown, just to name several.
