When I was 14 living in Campsie, NSW. We had this long haired Greek kid skater, panel van driving dude, who lived across the road and he who would clean his panel van on the weekend and he would always have kiss, destroyer and rose tattoo, rockn roll outlaw blearing out his speakers. And as it happened they were the first 2 records he taped for me and started my life into heavy rock music. He was also influential in me riding skateboards and roller skates. I’ve gone back to my old neighbourhood but they moved out of the area in the early 90s. If Nick tarramis is out there , thanks for the inspirations that make me happy. Man

Branded,the butcher and fast Eddie,juice on the loose, snow queen and so many more by the tatts. Brilliant

[@asmodeus0454]

For those ignorant few claiming Rose Tattoo were from Melbourne, read this: From Wiki: _Rose Tattoo are an Australian rock and roll band, now led by Angry Anderson, which formed in Sydney in 1976. Their sound is hard rock mixed with blues rock influences..._ Angry Anderson may have been born in Melbourne but he saw the light and followed the Hume Highway northwards. Smart move! Bloody Victorians! Always claiming Melbourne is the centre of Australian popular music.

Better than the Sydney people forgetting the rest of the country exists.

[@chriscampbell9191]

Yes, he was a very worthy replacement for Mick Cocks. Can't beat the tracks in which he wrote the music.... Scarred For Life, Branded, and this one (and the others on that album, naturally). Scarred For Life should have been a hit in the US. It was probably the most accessible Tatts track for US FM rock radio at the time. Would have gone over well. But even the 'edgy' hard rock station in my metro wouldn't touch it. Why? Because they apparently had shit for music taste.

[@williambroadstreet3353]

Not sure if many know but 'Angry' filed his front two teeth as is clearly seen here - I am the proud owner of the 'Tatts' first two cassette releases, and I will NEVER give them the fuck away. They're going into my coffin when I pass to the other side of the grass. Australian icons - they heavily influenced so many US bands. 'Angry' is as Australian cut n dried as it gets. Losing his son was and remains painful beyond words, but he just powers on. Legend !!
