Rose Tattoo, un nome che da oltre trent'anni č sinonimo di roccherrolle. Sarebbe facile etichettare la band capitanata dal leggendario "Angry" Anderson come semplici (onesti) epigoni degli Ac/Dc... i Rose Tattoo sono molto di pių, negli anni hanno fatto smuovere le gambine di migliaia di fan nei loro infuocati concerti live, sono stati coverizzati da band come Guns'n Roses, Nashville Pussy ed LA Guns e non hanno mai smesso di roccheggiare. Vale davvero la pena di riscoprirli nel nuovo millennio, perchč non restino un segreto ben custodito solo in Germania e nella madre patria Australia... magari proprio a partire dall'album omonimo d'esordio, rinominato per il mercato europeo Rock'n Roll Outlaw. E ricordate... Nice Boys Don't Play Rock'n Roll!!!
She hit town a rose in bloomSmell the sweet, sweet perfumeThe color faded and the petals diedDown in the city no one criedAnd in the streets the garbage liesProtected by a million fliesWith roaches so big they got bonesThey moved in and made themselves at homeI say nice boys...don't play rock'n'rollNice boys...don't play rock'n'rollI'm not a nice boy!Sweet sixteen she was fresh and cleanWanted so bad to be part of the sceneShe met the man and she did the smackAnd now, she pays the price layin' down on her backWant so bad just to please the boysEnded up bein' just a toyPlayed so hard burned her life awayLies were told no promises madeNice boys...don't play rock'n'rollNice boys...don't play rock'n'rollI'm not a nice boy...and I never wasYoung and fresh when she hit townHot for kicks just to get aroundAnd now she lays in a filthy roomShe kills the pain with a flick and a spoonAnd in the streets the garbage liesprotected by a million fliesWith roaches so big they got bonesThey moved in and made themselves at homeNice boys...don't play rock'n'rollNice boys...don't play rock'n'rollNice boys...don't play rock'n'rollNice boys...don't play rock'n'rollNice boys...don't play rock'n'rollNice boys...don't play rock'n'rollNice boys...don't play rock'n'rollNice boys...they never play rock'n'roll
