What can I say about Hanoi Rocks? A truly awesome live band, who should have and could have been a household name in the mid 80’s rather than poodle haired rockers such as Bon Jovi, Poison and Motley Crue, infact if it wasn’t for Motley Crues Vince Neil killing their drummer Razzle in a drunken car accident, they probably would have been, (dunno if I should use the term accident, cos it wasn’t an accident really as with any case of drink driving the person doesn’t accidentally get behind the wheel pissed do they?) with their Glam Punk’n’Roll A tradgedy indeed, as the band never really recovered afterwards. Anyway if you wanna know more stick their name in yer search engine, and click here if you want a blast on this 5 track maxi 12” single released in Finland in 1982. Enjoy!
thanks for the Hanoi - I've been a fan since I picked up "Two Steps from the Move" back in the early 80s.
ReplyDeleteI agree - they could have been a great band...
Nice one Nuzz. Cheers for this & The Leather Nun one.
ReplyDeleteOne of the best bands of the early 80's!
ReplyDeleteIf it hadn't have been for that drunken prick, Neil then what would have been a killer show / tour would have gone down in 85 with (if memory serves me right):
The Damned / Hanoi Rocks / Sid Presley Experience
If only.....
