Rose Tattoo ?
 

I've never heard of these guys but I just found them on Youtube. Anyone a fan?

First 3 albums are great.

After that they all went to 80s soft rock hell.

I remember the debut being a good album and that's about it.

The Scarred for Life album is pretty good, apparently they were a big influence on some of the members of Guns n Roses.

I kind of think of them as the AC/DC that didn't get worldwide recognition.

They were pretty big here. Not really a fan though. Kind of similar vein to other Aussie classic rock bands like The Angels, AC/DC.

Angry Anderson was good in "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome" though! :D

The bass player on their debut (who wrote Bad Boy For Love) left to form X.

The lead singer ust be like 5 foot 1.

That sounds about right. Google said he is 1.56m.

Rose Tattoo were huge here in Melbourne! Angry Anderson is still a pretty prominent figure in music and politics...
