Looking to get a few of their albums.
Any recomendations ??

Picked up their new one, Blood Brothers last year, it's deadly, pure rock all the way. They're basically the 'other' AC/DC

Euuugh. I hate when people refer to them as that.

If they've got to be compared to AC/DC, then they're AC/DC if Chopper Reid was writing lyrics for them.

Seriously savage band. Totally filthy rock'n'roll.


Their self titled album "Rock n Roll Outlaw / Rose Tattoo" is a must have if you can get it. Some legendary tracks on it - Nice Boys, One Of The Boys, The Butcher and Fast Eddy.

Wouldn't fault them at all. I was told a story about a gig they played in London a few years ago. A fight broke out up the front, and their vocalist jumped in and kicked seven shades out of a load of lads. Think he's about 60 something now.

Get what you can by these guys anyway.

Yeah, I know. I was staying in the same hotel as him about a year ago in Germany. He was having breakfast beside me. All I could think about was that song, and the fact that he looked like someone that goes to strip clubs as a hobby. :P

In fairness, I don't think I'd be going up to him saying 'that song from Neighbours was sh!te'

Apparently he was actually proud of it. They played the first Slane gig, supporting Thin Lizzy...

Assault & Battery.

Raw, mean, and great!
