As Rose Tattoo nears its 50th anniversary, the iconic Australian rock band is reflecting on its storied history. Known for their raw, gritty sound and undeniable passion, Rose Tattoo has carved out a place as one of the country’s greatest rock acts.

The interview took place over two sittings, the first filled with casual conversation about life and music, while the second delved deeper into Rose Tattoo’s legacy. In this article, we present the second part of our chat, alongside some memorable musical moments from the first.
Read on for insights into a band that has been a defining force in the Australian rock scene for nearly five decades.
