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 ROCK ANTENNE Österreich. 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.

You can hear it all right here!

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.

Muse are gearing up for the release of their highly anticipated 10th studio album, The Wow Signal, and bass legend Chris Wolstenholme sat down with ROCK ANTENNE for a massive, exclusive chat. Named after the famous 1977 radio signal that remains our best bet for alien life, the new record is an absolute wall of sound. Chris dives deep into the metaphor behind The Wow Signal, why they literally blasted a tablet 30 kilometers into space to launch the album, and how they bridge the gap between high-tech studio wizardry and raw, high-energy attitude. He also opens up about the immense mental pressure of remembering a 25-year-old song catalog on tour, why he still loses sleep over a massive live blunder in Moscow from 2019, and the real reason why he had to stop playing pre-show football matches with fans (hint: it involves a partial hip replacement!). From World Cup predictions with England's new German manager Thomas Tuchel to why Muse's music might be a football jinx — this is a must-watch for every rock fan. Grab a drink, crank up the volume, and join the ride! 🤘🔥
