I had the amazing honor of playing lead guitar for Billy for the 1982-83 tour of USA and Australia. To this day, I am blown away by his presence!! Amazing singer, guitarist and songwriter. Peace, love and respect Billy. RIP my friend..
Very kind words,and true.In the 70,s Bill was the king of Rock in Aust.Can you shed some light on why he was not bigger in the US.Many Aussies were surprised by this.
When Billy is rockin the earth spins around the sun a bit faster. His guitar is plugged into lightning. The only problem is how do you listen to this sober or without throwing chairs into the air. RIP brother Billy.
Thorpie and Angry at their best, this is one for the rock n roll history books, I've lost count how many times I've watched this video, I met Angry in 2004, what a down to earth bloke he was
A legend, we saw Billy at the Waltzing Matilda pub in Melbourne years ago. He came on at midnight and blew everyone away. Spoke to us after the show, what a beautiful human being,listened to our bullshit and still was excited that we enjoyed his show. An extraordinary, brilliant type of bloke..RIP BILLY..
So glad I was born in the 60's and able to witness these great live bands of the 70's / 80's, you can tell that Angry, Billy and co. just love rock'n'roll. Cheers me up everytime I listen to this
now this is what Paul McCartney and the Foo Fighters were trying to achieve in there so called jam "cut me some slack", this is heaven and they are still looking up at the gods of Aussie rock.
Love this. Any American old timer jam would play the slow version filled with attempts of Eric Claptonism but this just puts a flamethrower to it and says fuck that!
Holy smoke(s)!! pure and utter AUSSIE rock!! Angels,chisel, choirboys radiators.. who-ever, you've all be slain and totally shamed buy the GIANTS; Angry and King Billy! yeah.. you to Angus!
Seen them when they were known as Buster Brown and after the performance was over and everyone had left the venue the band they were lovely men,extremely polite and knew how to treat women.Eventually our ride arrived and my girlfreind and I didn't want to leave the venue.
Look I love both guys - Angry whilst very respectful in this performance really stole the show - I have not seem him any better.. Billy is what he is.. no question.. and the band - what a right energetic thing - all time fav performance for me - just great!
Thanks for the memories boys. Many a time I’d watch the Tats at a pub. This one with Thorpee and the boys is Classic Aussie rock: you can’t get much better than this!!!
I've listened to Rose Tattoo but this cover of Going Down so far is the best cover I've ever heard in my life and people believe me I've listened to a lot .
Thanks so much, only just found this 2 of my favs and all time legends! Billy n th tatts = f,n awesome, ripper cheers brings back memories of seeing them live😁
One of the best shows ever by The best..Tatts and Thorpe.. Dont make bands like This Any more...Just a killer show..Only 1 regret..Was not present..My bad luck..
Du très très bon R'N'R .....terrible prestation de l'ensembles du groupe vraiment super cool.......une pensée pour le regretter Billy Thorpe mort en 2007 ......a Sydney
Billy (R.I.P.) one super amazing Aussie Musician and seen him play live many times, as well as Rose Tattoo, back at the Prospect. Friend's brother played in band. Loved Kylie's choice of Suddenly in Neighbours. Play Thorpie's last release 2 disc CD a lot. Cool combo- Billy and Angry.
Saw the Tatts last night at the metro. They are still rocking harder then even. Of course not the original line up but angry and the boys still put on a hell of a show. He gets better with age 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
You can put Metallica, Anthrax, Slayer, Megadeth, Foo Fighters, Turbonegro Lou Reed and Guns n' Roses together in a supergroup and they can't rock like this, only Motorhead come close!
Tell me how it gets any better than this??? Look at the faces of Angry and Billy...they are LOVING it !!! Sure it may not be note or lyric perfect, but if you think that matters...ur missing the point
I’ve watched this a thousand times for sure. Probably one of the best rock performances there’s ever been. In my opinion. Pure pure rock
They are such a criminally underrated band. They should have been as big as AC/DC
The stuff of Aussie rock legend. Billy Thorpe at his absolute peak. A truly underrated guitar maestro!!
Same. Here..........
Absolutely one of the best rock and roll performances ever! I say DAMN!!
Billy Thorpe. A brilliant guitarist. Way under rated. Iconic rocking performance.
I had the amazing honor of playing lead guitar for Billy for the 1982-83 tour of USA and Australia. To this day, I am blown away by his presence!! Amazing singer, guitarist and songwriter. Peace, love and respect Billy. RIP my friend..
Very kind words,and true.In the 70,s Bill was the king of Rock in Aust.Can you shed some light on why he was not bigger in the US.Many Aussies were surprised by this.
@@paulcleary9694 my foughts he wouldn't be pushed into anything he didn't believe in
Good on ya mate.
He was a good man.on ya.
On ya mate
When Billy is rockin the earth spins around the sun a bit faster. His guitar is plugged into lightning. The only problem is how do you listen to this sober or without throwing chairs into the air. RIP brother Billy.
Thank fuck for youtube. We will never see the likes of this insane awesome craziness ever again.
Sad to think all three guitar players on this are now gone -but not forgotten.
I'd like to thank my parents for having me in an era where this stuff was around. ACDC, Angels,RoseTattoo... God bless em..
CHISELS
Thorpie and Angry at their best, this is one for the rock n roll history books, I've lost count how many times I've watched this video, I met Angry in 2004, what a down to earth bloke he was
Just about my favourite all time video.
Gary Colligan.Good stuff 'Angry'Hes a good Bloke,i met him & the band in 83,drinking at The Underground.
Look what we used to make in Australia.
A legend, we saw Billy at the Waltzing Matilda pub in Melbourne years ago. He came on at midnight and blew everyone away. Spoke to us after the show, what a beautiful human being,listened to our bullshit and still was excited that we enjoyed his show. An extraordinary, brilliant type of bloke..RIP BILLY..
What a CLASSIC moment in Oz Rock History... Angry totally blown away with Thorpies presence..... Rest In Rock Billy!!!
None other than the guitar maestro himself Mr Billy Thorpe!! A legend who is sadly missed.
Thorpie now breakin' hearts and strings, champion.
Two of Australias greatest
This should have 100 million hits.
yep, as mentioned already, THAT! is rock and roll!

On ya mate.
Geezus! Australia has produced some bloody amazing musos!! Awesome performance!! 🤘👍👍🤘
Billy once said our musos are just as good as anyone from the US or UK and he was dead right.
So glad I was born in the 60's and able to witness these great live bands of the 70's / 80's, you can tell that Angry, Billy and co. just love rock'n'roll. Cheers me up everytime I listen to this
Missed it by a decade but obsessed with 70s , love 80s rock seen loaaaads , but neither of these two !!!. I know 🙄🙄🙄
now this is what Paul McCartney and the Foo Fighters were trying to achieve in there so called jam "cut me some slack", this is heaven and they are still looking up at the gods of Aussie rock.
Pub rock days... an era not to be repeated. No music computers in sight..sweet..
Brilliant stuff!!! The Tatts AND Thorpie! It doesn't get any better than this!
That´s it - Brother !!!
Amen Brother....
Totally agree. I saw Thorpe at Sunbury and Gary must have been Buster Brown, then!
I met Pete back in 96.not just a rock legend, but a legend of a person.
Love this. Any American old timer jam would play the slow version filled with attempts of Eric Claptonism but this just puts a flamethrower to it and says fuck that!
This IS Rock and Roll played the way it's meant to be played - loud proud lean and mean.
And smoke in mouth.
A very Aussie version of this classic - Brilliant - the energy level is through the roof and the boys smoke it up. Love it.
I want to show the whole world
@@markwilliams7712 I agree. The brilliance of this performance makes me want to tell everyone I know and don't know.
I am sure Don Nix would have loved this cover of his song
Greats from Germany to the other side of the world. This is my favorite vid ever.
It is exceptional.
ROCK n ROLL at its Best - Billy Thorpe - Pete Wells - Mick Cocks - RIP . Thanks for the Amazing Music .
