Angry Anderson looks and sounds mean as fuck...

[nzoz1978]

@SpivWiggins He had a shit upbringing. He was abused as a child and was pretty screwed up during his adulthood. The name 'Angry' was given to him because that is exactly what he was. He was a pissed off little man. He displayed acts of self-destruction on stage - used to knock himself out by beating his head against amps, and other crazy shit. However, he's grown to be a charity worker and has a heart of gold.. he's autobiography tells more - I don't know if it's in print.

@nzoz1978 I meant it as a compliment... :-)

[nzoz1978]

I just discovered this song at 37 years old (with a little help from Duff McKagan as a guest on THAT METAL SHOW) & it sounds so bad ass! I wish they could re-release it today so more fuckers could dig it as much as I do!

Rock music comes no better than this. How proud to be an Aussie with this band and numerous others pounding it out.
