No pretense machismo. I love it. It's honest. Appears they knew no other way. Quite a find. Gets me thinking about who needs payback. Discovered them very late. Great stuff. Individualistic. Ballsy - free spirited.
I like this songlyric and the song very much and it makes me wonder if there have been a true "Butcher and Fast Eddy",is this a kind of ancient Australian story about two true dangerous Australians? anyway I am always aware not to start a fight with Fast Eddy or the Butcher!
@clbaumer Yes. Nice Boys was a Rose Tattoo song. Both bands are from a era where the Australian "pub rock" style came from. Tough Australian men and women at the bar rockin out to big riffs and fairly aggresive tunes.
i went to aus in 1987 knowing all about AC/DC but never knew of the tatts heard em boughtsome cassettes and have been a huge fan since but why cant a guy find anything in canada about them???? rock on
@spitch044 no way this band was on another plane to ac/dc, these guys held the record for the loudest band to play at the london marque, they were infamous,real fucking bad boys, after bon scott died ac/dc became a fantasy band.
This song is certainly based on a true story.... The exact details of who was who & what exactly happened are best left to the imagination because some of the guilty are still alive & living 'normal' lives.

This song is actually based on a true story. The guy was actually called Butch tho and not Butcher, and Fast Eddie lived out in the south eastern suburbs of Melbourne. This is all the info i have. If anyone else out there has more info on the story of this song then please let us all know about it.
@ManFromMelbourne It was actually set in Coburg where Angry grew up.The guy was called Butch.I was there when it was being written.Dallas was my man for many years!
theres a story in iron horse magazine back in 78 what ac~dc front man bonn scott says" i love music and have all my life. but i want to be in a situation just like my best friends who are the band rose tattoo because those guys know what its like to be raw every time they play"
i was in a band called fast forward in 79 and played outlaw and nice boys and loved every minute we playe them
rock on guys i feel your the one true rock band of my time
this is defintely one of my all time favourite songs ... it can be blamed for me getting into the English language deep for the first time ... I was about 13 and wanted to understand each single word of these mystic lyrics ... I picked up a dictionary and translated them word by word into German ... and was fucking proud when I finally got it ... a great story ... thanx to Rose Tattoo for writing it and angelcoprock for posting that milestone!!!
One of the greatest stories ever told thru song..I've seen them twice-once with Aerosmith-I don't remember the other..Think song just kicks ass-I could listen to this song everyday and never get tired of it..Just a cool vibe...
I thought it was the other way around with Angus and Bon recommending Rose Tattoo to Harry Vanda and GeorgeYoung who then had them signed to Alberts, the same record label as AC/DC
Too true. The gangs of old. Those days were alot stauncher than people today would ever understand. No matter what city it was it in there was always a group power play going on.
Went to see Aerosmith live Adelaide Oval... waiting for the show.... on walked Angry... and the crowd went wild... after they finished their set it was all down hill from there....
Que de souvenirs... J'écoutis ça quand j'avais 17 ans... A 40 et une vie plus accomplie, je me dis que ces groupes tels Rose Tattoo m'ont beaucoup apporté...
Angry, at 2:02 you obviously don't have problems, displaying your well maintained beer gut mate. However, i don't think the punters hold the same view!!! LOL
Rose Tattoo is an Australian blues/hard rock band, led by Angry Anderson. Among their best known songs are "We Can't Be Beaten", "Scarred for Life", "Rock 'n' Roll Outlaw" and "Bad Boy for Love". Their first four albums were produced by Harry Vanda and George Young who also worked with AC/DC. Along with AC/DC and The Angels, Rose Tattoo helped establish an Australian rock sound in the 1970s that was copied around the world
this songs about the sharpie scene in melbourne in the 70's other bands big then were the coloured balls lot of streetfighting against the wogs in those days that's who fast eddy was a greasy wog who pulled knives
Saw then just a fortnight ago at Towradgi (Wollongong NSW AUST). You cannot capture the spirit of a Tatts in any way. Ygou need be there. aussielegend666 , check the pinballs in the Outlaw clip. See that second one with the stars on the outside of it? That partilular machine lives here!
You can not even halfway compare them, GnR was more of a glamrock metal band with all the outfits... plus Axls voice is pretty annoying.
I really prefer people who look more for the music, like Rose Tattoo here or AC/DC... You can see they are not doing it for the money but because they love the music.

It happened in the suburbs north of the river
Where the smokestacks scrape the air
And gangs of short haired boys roam the streets
Get out of there way, 'cause there out to get there share
Now Butcher, he was the leader
Had a reputation for being tough but fair
He knew life was just a gamble
So he lived from day to day without a care
Stick around and I'll tell ya

How brilliant to tell a story,not sing to a killer guitar and drum beat so perfectly.
Like Thin Lizzy,these Ausies rock.
