rose tattoo

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 ca n'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 -lrb- aria -rrb- hall of fame .
six former members have died in recent years including four of the original recording line-up , dallas royall -lrb- 1991 -rrb- , peter wells -lrb- 2006 -rrb- , ian rilen -lrb- 2006 -rrb- , mick cocks -lrb- 2009 -rrb- , and lobby loyde -lrb- 2007 -rrb- , who was a member between october 1979 and september 1980 , and neil smith -lrb- 2013 -rrb- , who played bass temporarily prior to loyde .
