      After moving to OZ in 1982 Rose Tattoo were one of the bands i warmed to (with the Angels) and i was a punk/ska nut.

      sad day.

      Didn’t like his politics in his last few years..but remember him doing work for kids on the streets in the 90s.

      The first 3 Rose Tattoo albums are underrated Aus classics.

      He once tried to run as MP in the electorate I live in back in 2013 believe it or not for the Nationals party.

      Awww. I know he was a bit how ya going in these last few years, but he was lovely when I met him. He was having some cake with my Nan, of all things. Goodbye Angry. 🤘

      That’s a damn shame.

      His character in Housos got a good few laughs out of me, and as Ironbar in Mad Max 3.

      This news will prompt me to watch “Mad Max 3: Beyond Thunderdome” for the first time in 20+ years.

      Wow! I only saw them here on the Gold Coast a few months ago and they were still a real powerhouse act. The band put out a press release early this year (or maybe late last year) announcing that they would be retiring this year as it’s their 50th anniversary and were pulling the lin. That’s so sad.

      RIP Angry Anderson.

      I trust Kylie is now altering her performance to become a tribute to the great man.

      You are allowed to mourn the rock legend while also not being sad about another islamophobe going away.

      He was a better guy than most his political peers anyway. Just read he was an unintentional gay icon by getting banned from Countdown because execs thought he and a band mate were kissing instead of exchanging chewing gum hands free (errr. Don’t exchange chewing gum, it’s more unhealthy than being gay.)

      “Jesus I am overjoyed to meet you face to face”…

      Angry, I never knew you, but I loved your music, and loved you as Herrod in JCS. Hope you rest in peace.

      I will always remember him for his words to his bandmates before beginning a set at the Frankston 21st Century.

      “Let’s deafen the cunts”.

      RIP Angry.

      Holy shit. I hadn’t heard any RT for over a decade so played them all day Sunday, and this happens

      This is truly sad news.

      Met Angry a few times over the years and whilst he could be a catty like prick he was tireless with his charity work and was really good to many people. He was still supporting HIV/AIDS charities long after other celebs had moved on.

      He may have been problematic in some ways but he’ll always be a legend. May his music carry on.
