Hanoi Rocks

Musical Group

Finnish glam-punk/rock band formed in Helsinki; led by Michael Monroe and Andy McCoy. Noted for energetic live shows and early 80s influence on later sleaze/glam acts. Disbanded after the death of drummer Razzle in 1984; reunited in the 2000s.

Formed in Helsinki, Finland in the late 1970s. Drummer Nicholas 'Razzle' Dingley died in a 1984 car accident involving Vince Neil of Mötley Crüe. Widely cited influence on later bands in the late 1980s rock scene.

DeBaser reviews praise Hanoi Rocks' early 80s glam-punk energy and distinctive songwriting, especially on Bangkok Shocks and live recordings. Reviewers highlight the band's live power and influence on later acts. Reunion-era releases receive a mixed but generally favorable reception.

For:Fans of glam rock, sleaze rock, 80s rock, and live rock recordings.

 I am about to review the first album of one of the most underrated bands in the history of music.

 Instead of waiting for democracy to arrive in China, trust my advice and refresh your ears with Hanoi Rocks, who from the 2002 reunion deliver their best product with 13 tracks to listen to at full volume.
