Rose Tattoo is an Australian rock and roll band, now led by Angry Anderson, that was formed in Sydney in 1976. Their sound is hard rock mixed with blues rock influences, with songs including "Bad Boy for Love", "Rock 'n' Roll Outlaw", "Nice Boys", "We Can't Be Beaten" and "Scarred for Life". Their first four albums were produced by Harry Vanda and George Young who also worked with AC/DC. They disbanded in 1987, subsequently reforming briefly in 1993 to support Guns N' Roses on an Australian tour. They reassembled again from 1998 and have since released two more studio albums.
According to Australian rock music historian Ian McFarlane, Rose Tattoo are "one of the most revered bands of all time. The Tatts played peerless, street-level heavy blues with the emphasis on slide guitar and strident lyric statements". Guns N' Roses, L.A. Guns, Keel, Nashville Pussy, Motosierra, Pud Spuke Helen Schneider, and the Uruguayan band The Knight's Night have covered Rose Tattoo songs. On 16 August 2006, they were inducted into the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) Hall of Fame. Six former members have died in recent years including four of the original recording line-up, Dallas Royall (1991), Peter Wells (2006), Ian Rilen (2006), Mick Cocks (2009), and Lobby Loyde (2007), who was a member between October 1979 and September 1980, and Neil Smith (2013), who played bass temporarily prior to Loyde.
"Rock 'n' Roll Outlaw" lyrics:
I don't need lots of people, tellin' me what to do
I don't need a long haired lady, to love me true as true
All I need is a rock'n'roll band... Somewhere new to play
And I'm on my way, I'm on my way
I'm a rock'n'roll outlaw, and I'm on the run
I'm a rock'n'roll outlaw, I never needed anyone
My life isn't easy baby, it's the life that I need
I got music livin' inside of me, I gotta set it free
All I need is a rock'n'roll band... Somewhere new to play
And I'm on my way, I'm on my way
I'm a rock'n'roll outlaw, and I'm on the run
I'm a rock'n'roll outlaw, I never needed anyone
Playin' music babe, is all I know
Where it wants to take me honey...
All I want from livin' is just to be left alone
All I need is an open road, 'cause I'm a rollin' stone
All I need is a rock'n'roll band... Somewhere new to play
And I'm on my way, I'm on my way
I'm a rock'n'roll outlaw, and I'm on the run
I'm a rock'n'roll outlaw, I never needed anyone
I'm a rock'n'roll outlaw, and I'm on the run
I'm a rock'n'roll outlaw, momma I don't need no one
I'm a rock'n'roll outlaw, and I'm on the run
I'm a rock'n'roll outlaw, I never needed anyone...
Thank you for watching me!
More rare videos are coming up soon!!!
