Angry Anderson / ROSE TATTOO

Rest in peace, Angry Anderson. Shortly before Rose Tattoo cancelled their tour – and before the sudden passing of Australian hard rock legend Angry Anderson – Lotto King Karl conducted what was probably the very last interview with the iconic Rose Tattoo frontman for [[!++station_brand_name]].

In this deep and personal conversation, Angry Anderson looks back on a life full of ups and downs: he talks about the wild early days of Rose Tattoo in the mid-1970s, his close friendship with AC/DC, and how Angus and Malcolm Young helped the band land their first record deal.

He also reflects on his Hollywood role as “Ironbar” in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, the success of his solo ballad “Suddenly”, his social activism and the honour he received from Queen Elizabeth II, as well as his planned autobiography and his special bond with German fans. It’s an unfiltered document of real rock ’n’ roll and an extraordinary life’s work. A true hard rock original whose voice and attitude shaped generations of rock fans. Farewell, Angry. Rest in peace.

Mick Jagger / THE ROLLING STONES

For the Rolling Stones, you happily hop on a plane! Our music editor Leo flew all the way to London to sit down at the table with none other than Mick Jagger.

He talks to him about the new album "Foreign Tongues", why record labels really ought to pick up a few foreign languages, how on earth Bruno Mars ended up on a Stones track – and why ‘Paint It Black’ isn’t actually a rock song at all.

You can hear it all right here!

Simon McBride / DEEP PURPLE

Deep Purple are back with a bang! 🎸 In this exclusive ROCK ANTENNE interview, guitarist Simon McBride sits down to talk all things about their new album 'Splat', stepping into the shoes of guitar legends, and why retirement is a word that simply doesn't compute for the rock icons.

Simon shares hilarious insights into Ian Gillan's songwriting brain (including how a simple typo turned "Jessica's Bar" into "Jessica's Bra"!), working with legendary producer Bob Ezrin, and how bringing fresh blood into the band gave everyone a well-deserved kick in the ass.
