Rose Tattoo Guitarist And Founding Member Mick Cocks Passes On
Submitted by: Dana

Guitarist Mick Cocks, a founding member of Australian hard rock band Rose Tattoo, died in a Sydney hospital on Tuesday after a battle with liver cancer. His age was not known, reports Lars Brandle of Reuters.

Cocks becomes the fourth member of a Rose Tattoo line-up to pass away in as many years, following bass player Ian Rilen and guitarist Pete Wells, both in 2006, and guitarist Lobby Loyde in 2007. All had suffered from cancer.

Cocks formed the band in 1976 with Wells and Rilen. Rose Tattoo's self-titled debut album, released in 1978, became an instant classic, with tracks such as "Rock'n'Roll Outlaw" and "Bad Boy For Love."

With the instantly-recognizable frontman Gary "Angry" Anderson on the microphone, the band inspired a new generation of rock outfits, including Mötley Crüe and Guns N' Roses, who covered Rose Tattoo's song "Nice Boys (Don't Play Rock'n'Roll)" on the 1988 EP "GN'R Lies."

Cocks left the band in 1979 and went on to create his own solo projects.
