All Good Things... 08/27/07

All good things must come to an end, and it is
with mixed emotions I announce that I will no
longer be maintaining Remedy - The Rose 
Tattoo Home Page. It has been a very 
satisfying ten years, but changes in my life 
have left me with no time for keeping rosetattoo.net 
up to date.

This was the first dedicated Rose Tattoo page on the
net, and has always been an independent one man 
operation. It's been satisfying to see the Tatts 
renaissance over the past decade, and I like to think 
that rosetattoo.net played a (small) part in the 
band's revival.

Now, with the explosion of the internet, there are a 
multitude of online resources for Tatts information. 
The best place to go is the official Tatts page at 
rosetattoo.com.au. Herko is doing a bang up job, 
as is the band's German record label, Armageddon.

As for Remedy, I will keep the page online for 
reference and historical purposes, but that's all. 
For the latest news, visit the official page linked 
above. Thanks to everyone who has contributed over the 
years...I appreciate the help!!!

See ya,

Peter Gormley

Kingy leaves the Tatts! 05/20/07

kingy
Bass player Steve King is leaving Rose Tattoo to pursue
his own musical goals. Angry and the band wish Kingy all
the best in his new endeavors. According to Angry:

   "These are definitely the last days for Rose Tattoo, and
    and we need to go out being true to ourselves. The 
    songs that Mick and I are writing are taking a different 
    direction, those that like the BLOOD BROTHERS album will
    understand the next album, we are headed to where we 
    started, as with all things we will move in a circular 
    journey. Mick coming back in the band is part of that
    journey, and in keeping with that philosophy, I will
    ask Geordie Leach to come back and play with us for a 
    while and see if that will work. There are no guarantees
    in life, but if you are prepared to take chances you can
    live life to the fullest. We wish Steve every success
    for the future."

Tatts & GNR...together again 04/08/07

The Tatts will be supporting Guns 'n' Roses
during their June tour of Australia. Tickets
go on sale April 26th. Here's the story from 
news.com.au


	Guns N' Roses firing for tour
	April 05, 2007

	Hard rock band Guns N'Roses will tour Australia for the 
	first time in 14 years in June. The band, featuring singer 
	Axl Rose as the only original member, will play Rod Laver 
	Arena on June 15. Tickets go on sale on April 26.

	Gns N'Roses' last Australian tour was 1993 when they played 
	a Calder Park, causing a traffic jam 30km from the city.
	Promoter Paul Dainty said the band would play a 2 1/2 hour 
	set featuring new material and greatest hits.

	"They're not taking the full show everywhere, but for Australia 
	and New Zealand we get the entire Chinese Democracy production, 
	with video wall, full set, the whole enchilada," he said.

	The still-unreleased Chinese Democracy album is reportedly 
	the most expensive ever made, with $13 million spent over 10 
	years of recording sessions.

	Supports acts for the June tour will be Rose Tattoo and ex-Skid 
	Row singer Sebastian Bach.
