On stage, Rose Tattoo look like nothing on earth but Rose Tattoo.
They stand out from the mass of bands in satin pants like a raw steak in a vegetarian restaurant. All those words like raw, uncompromising, savage - they all apply, but they?re not enough. Rose Tattoo have something more than that.
It's not only the way they look, although that's damn riventing. Four tall, gaunt men with unnaturally spikey red hair and the fifth out front stocky and furiously shaven headed aren't an average sight, even in the realm of Rock'n'Roll excesses. Kohled eyes smeared with sweat, black t-shirts chewed off at the shoulder sticking to their wet torsos, pants that were probably once jeans now so worn-in they're only hanging onto their wearers out of mutual admiration …. Even that's not all. Rose Tattoo are really tattooed; they all had tattoos of their own design before they decided to seal the band's fate with their intricate and oddly beautiful rose tattoos, all based on the theme of a rose and rock'n'roll. Each has an equally intricate ring permanently drawn on one finger, and a pierced ear ring as well.
The band gives an impression of overwhelming masculinity, a totally urban, night time jungle maleness that if considered objectively, would be awe inspiring, making an audience afraid rather than irresistibly drawn to go along with the band. It has something to do with having more than a hint of humor. You get the feeling that if some rich dame accosted them in twenty yards of mink they'd look at her straight in the false eyelashed and say: "What mug shot all the rabbits for ya?".
