Its No Surprise Slash Chose Rose Tattoo For His Next Australian Tour

by Paul Cashmere on October 30, 2023

in News

Slash will head back to Australia in 2024 with Myles Kennedy & the Conspirators and it is not a surprise at all that Rose Tattoo have been chosen to open the shows.

Slash is a huge Rose Tattoo fan. Guns N’ Roses first covered Rose Tattoo’s ‘Nice Boys’ on ‘Live ?!*@ Like a Suicide’ in 1986 and again for the ‘G N’ R Lies’ EP of 1988. ‘G N’ R Lies’ was released on 29 November, 1988, the year after the debut Gunners album ‘Appetite for Destruction’.

The original ‘Nice Boys’ from Rose Tattoo was the second tracks on The Tatts debut album recorded in Sydney a decade earlier in 1978.

Guns N’ Roses have welcome Angry Anderson on stage numerous times in Australia to play the song live with them. Angry sang it with GN’R in 2017 in Sydney, in 2013 in Melbourne and Brisbane and in Sydney and Auckland in 2007.

Toto’s 2025 setlist focuses on the heritage of the band. The setlist was interesting. Compared to how it was curated for Australia in 2019 this time Toto kept to the albums of the 1900s. Mind you, there were no complaints from the audience for doing that. The biggest hits came from those early years.
