![]() ![]() By the time the band put this album together they'd already shed three fifths of their original line-up, meaning that the version of RT that most people got to know was fronted by Angry Anderson, powered by bassist Geordie Leach and drummer Dallas "Digger" Royall and infused by the only original Tatt's remaining, guitarists Peter Wells and Mick Cocks. 'Rock 'N' Roll Outlaw', 'Nice Boys', 'One Of The Boys' and 'Bad Boy For Love' are snot-nosed Rock 'n' Roll that verged into Punk in its attitude, if not so much its delivery. Their music – at least initially – sounded just as dangerous, the 1978 self-titled debut barely concealing that they might cause a fight to break out at any minute. One of the (many) bands who had much more going on – while still retaining strong Bar-room links – were Rose Tattoo, a group of genuinely dangerous dudes with prison time and other assorted brushes with the law behind them. ![]() ![]() In fairness it's an affliction more than a few suffered from, Rocked up Bar-room Boogie undeniably a staple of the club scene "down under". It's all too easy to dismiss anyone who followed AC/DC out of the Aussie Rock scene as mere clones of the Young brothers. Bad boys sure play Rock 'n' Roll and way back when, Rose Tattoo were as bad as they came.
