  • Grüße vom Ralle nach Australien, it`s a good beat

  • awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwesome musikkkk!

    

  • That one unlike better be aware. we are hunting down your soul .

  • 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!

  • rose tatto loud n fucken proud 1 of my fav bands R.I.P pete............. best slide guitarist ever!!!!!!!!!!

  • Amazing Great Track 

  • what a sik song!

  • Yeah baby, Rock n Roll at its best!

  • Check out "Danzig : She Rides" and go figure .-)

  • the best for ever!and ftw hamc!fuck off

  • the best for ever!and ftw hamc!

  • the best for ever!

    

  • wõw_sùcht_mál_nÁch:_geldeasy_Ä­Ùf_gÔôglé

  • Australian? Did this band do "Nice Boys" originally? He kinds sounds like Bon Scott. Must be a down under thing

  • @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.

  • Love it

  • this is really rose tattoo

  • One of the greatest songs/stories ever told by a rock-n-roll band ever!!

  • 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

  • AC/DC/ Tommy Emmanuel Flash and the Pan

    Thank You Australia :-)

  • bless the Tats......

  • Super ma grosse !!!! C'est la BO des Démons de Jesus !!! Ah !

    "It happened in the suburbs north of the river..." Génial mon frère.

  • R.I.P Pete Wells, Mick Cocks and Ian Rilen - one of Australia's greatest bands. \m/

  • @williemcrae yeah, i agree, just behind AC/DC !!! the best band all around the world

  • @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.

  • @cobboGHS91 Yea right the Tatts are a fucking good band but would you have wanted ACDC to pack it in after Bon died. No ways!

  • one of the most underrated bands to walk the Earth....... any lover of Rock and Roll who doesnt know the Tats needs to listen....

  • bom p/caralho esse som.

  • yaaa thats it alllll love the guitar solo

  • Man From Melbourne..........

    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.

    Just enjoy the music... Its all good.

    Cheers.

  • Rose Tattoo kicks ass!!!!!! The SkinHeads I grew up with adopted them as an Oi band!! They rock!!!!

  • Co za filing

  • 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!

  • they lead gangs i heard there was a lotta fights till they had a finale battle butcher vs fast eddie 

  • 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

    About Butcher and Fast Eddy

  • rose tatoo are wikkid lol

  • All but angry from original line up has died . But they still get around oz in different line up but Angry keeps the passion..

  • wotever happened to these i saw them in leeds england must have been early 80s backin rainbow up .

  • EXCELLENT SOUND EXCELLENT SONG

  • take a bow Butcher + Fast Eddy you know who yuu are .... and I know who you are - ROSE TATTOO - fuck yeah

  • War anthem of my youth.

    Fuck the Fight Club;it's on for real when these tunes are played at the right volume.

    Thanks Angry for the memories like they were yesterday.

  • hey du rock sang pour sang !!moi j'aime le rose tattoo

    géant:)

  • ....i got too much fists!!!!!..

  • 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

  • Comment removed

  • Nach ACDC die beste Australische Band

  • JAU!! Kann ich nur bestätigen!

    Das "Stück"MUSS IN JEDE VERNÜFTIGE ROCKSAMMLUNG........richt schon ein bischen nach"Kult"!!!!

  • 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...

  • Their first four albums were produced by Harry Vanda and George Young who also worked with AC/DC.

  • in actual fact angry recommended ac/dc to albert records saying they were a great band who had potential

  • 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

  • HOT SLIDE HOT BAND HOT ROCK!

  • One of the greatest songs EVER written!

    Hey,if you think it's shit,well,you just don't understand!

  • 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.

  • I'm glad the Butcher wins.

  • 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....

  • fucking 'rose tattoo'.. great fucking live band.. r.i.p pete.. you still are the best slide guitarist no matter what mate, fair fucking dinkum..

  • Love the Tatts man, ever since I saw them on TOGWT maybe 81. Love this track and Bad Boy for love. Cheers

  • Couldn't listen to this sung by anyone else.YAAAAAA THATS IT ALL!

  • suprising killer solo!

  • Sorry. my english isn't very good.

    I'll write in french, sorry...

    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...

  • agree,cant beat filthy pub rock the way these guys do it,use to love watching rob riley when he was with them.

  • Angelcoprock,thank you very much for putting this brilliant song out there for every-one to enjoy. You rock almost as much as the Tatts. Almost.

  • Thanks for this,it was always my favourite Tatts song.I miss Dallas,even all these years later and now Pete's gone too :(

    Good to see they are still appreciated!

  • great song from the day man, thanks!!!!!!!

  • 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

  • What a kick ass song. Haven't heard that fo decades.

    How brilliant to tell a story,not sing to a killer guitar and drum beat so perfectly.

    Like Thin Lizzy,these Ausies rock.

    (I know,Lizzy are Irish but Phil told stories in his music)Long live 80's rock.

    Anyone remember Heaven? Holy crap!

  • my all time favourite risee tattii song - yeahhhhh

  • ahh - rose tattoo - my favourites - been there done that and THEY WILL STILL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT (and so will the sunnyboys) ...

  • Amazing, incredible, wonderful. Intensity & spoken word. What shall I say? Rose Tattoo. Rock`n Roll.

  • inspiration for my youtube name...fucking brilliant music

  • "there's only the quick and the dead, I wanna know who's laying down" Best gang tune ever! RT 4 life!

  • 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!

  • duh

    axel had the looks

    always been a big rose tattoo fan

    plus i am a butcher in real live

    since 1977

  • Love the tatts, saw them support Rainbow early eighties, the dog proverbials.....

  • Pure Rock´n Roll

    Greetings from Hamburg

  • I sometimes wonder why didn't Rose Tattoo make it big in the States.

  • Guns and Roses(a cheap imitation of them) did by copying them.

  • IMHO I think Rose Tattoo are alot better than Guns 'N Roses, I never thought Axl Rose was that great of a singer.

  • 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.

  • Both of their sounds are pretty different i think. Plus Angry and Axl are quite good mates from what I've seen.

  • Just Cool !

    In german: GEIL !!!

  • no sound matches the Tatts !

    TFFT

  • The ending is the best part. This was probably the first music about gangs.

  • good song

  • Oh by Jingo

  • YES YES! This song KICKS ASS! About time I see it on YouTube.

  • yes meltingpod but it's just audio track...

    Enjoy

  • great sound but I have a better memory in my ears/eyes from that song LIVE...:)
