dont remember them, but i remember the guns n roses cover of "nice boys dont play rock n roll"

quite liked that

I've never heard of them and can't tell you anything but I do have this in my collection which I painstakingly recorded from 3 vinyl albums which are in my attic.

And this took me years to get hold of -

but I've never heard of them.

And my band didn't used to play Bad Boy For Love either.

I've got Rose Tattoo, Assualt & Battery and Scarred For Life and Rock n Roll Outlaw as a picture disc single, they were a pretty good band in the early days, before Angry made that awful Max Max single.

But there was worse Kev, what about the record he did for Kylies wedding in Neighbours? I nearly slit my wrists when I heard that knowing it was done by one of the best frontmen to come out of Oz.

That's right, I forgot about that price of garbage and I remember double and treble checking that it was Angry who made that record, what the hell was he thinking, money I suppose. :confused:

I presume you haven't heard them?
They were basically a copy of AC/DC using the same kind of riffs except that they have a slide guitar player instead of Angus and the slide really works.
Without searching for my albums I'm pretty sure they came from the same stables as ACDC with Vanda/Young promoting them (or was that another Ozzie band?).

If you want I can do a nice bit of editing and post a sampler up.

as i said in my post earlier, ive heard a guns n roses cover called "nice boys dont play rock n roll" which i presume is a cover of rose tattoo.

but no, i havent heard them

Here you go, 56k compiled MP3 not to break any laws -

Rose Tattoo (1.5m)

It actually kicks off with one of my all time favourite lyrics -
A law for the rich, a law for the poor and I'm just a working man.

3 purchases made!

Assault & Battery

You haven't told us what you think of them yet except for one song.
