    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...
