Born Matti Fagerholm, Michael Monroe is a Finnish rock singer best known as the frontman of Hanoi Rocks and for a long solo career marked by glam and punk influences.

Associated acts include Hanoi Rocks and Demolition 23. Reviews note frequent use of covers, a glam-punk style, and a career spanning from the late 1970s to the present.

Two DeBaser reviews by jeff3buckley assess Michael Monroe's solo work, noting a consistent glam-punk style and frequent use of covers. Both albums reviewed (Whatcha Want; Life Gets You Dirty) receive middling ratings (3/5). Reviews highlight Monroe's Hanoi Rocks legacy, charismatic stage persona, and moments of heartfelt performance amid uneven material.

For:Fans of glam rock, punk'n'roll, Hanoi Rocks followers, and readers of album reviews.

 The broken fairy tale of Hanoi Rocks is well-known, both the cursed accident caused by Mötley Crüe singer Vince Neil that led to the death of drummer Razzle, and the subsequent breakup in 1985, with various band members taking different, more or less tortuous paths.

 Born Matti Fagerholm, Michael Monroe is the epitome of the losing but never defeated rockstar, continuously presenting himself today as he did thirty years ago with the same glam look, the same attitude, and the same tenacity.
