Such a great band. They have a ton of great songs and just never caught on. Not sure why, I'm not sure they were any more excessive than a handful of other big bands from that era. Too bad, a lot of people missed out on a lot of great music.
Hanoi was a band that looked AMAZING. I paint canvases of andy and nasty constantly...the hats and scarves were beautiful. I see a guy dressed like that, I wanna know where he's going, can I come and hey..where'd you get that? I'm teling Mike on you. ( ;
@gabrielbadlands yes they did, there's one crappy quality video here on youtube. It's taken from one of the last Tavastia-gigs. Shame there's no live-video about the whole song.. At least on youtube.
Yesterday I thought I really wanted to look this up on the net, then couldn't remember, and have been straining my brain like my life depended on it! So glad I remembered, I used to love this song so much, must look up this album on cd, thanks for posting! I feel rejuvenated!
I also saw the Cherry Bombs in 86. Andy Mcoys first project afer Hanoi Rocks. They were cool, but nowhere near the level of Hanoi.How about those Backyard Babies
Kudos for posting this song. I went from Canada to the UK in 84 for a rock and roll holiday and saw Hanoi Rocks at the electric ballroom in camdentown. I also went to tootin bec and had my picture taken by the town sign just because of this song. Ancient history now, but fuckin cool none the less. Check out Hardcore Superstar same style, kicks ass.
the only Hanoi rocks piece that I like.And it is fantastic.There is an incredible synth motive from 4.04 to 4.08,which is completely out of it's place,but sounds great.One of my favorite tracks ever.
yes i'm serious. i like a lot of bands and mostly from finland, but a lot of people wouldn't like. i'm all around the board with music, except for country and christian music unless its screamo christian music so i can't hear the words. :) laugh all you want of try to talk me don about my taste in music, but it won't work.
it was about decadence, overkill and excess in that era anyhow, everyone looked great from GNR to the Gun Club. Hanoi just happened to look the best. I wear the boots, scarves, hats, bolos, mixed with my gal pieces and it's not about practicality at all...it's about loving my favorite band and having fun!
Tooting bec has some beautiful scenery, but I agree the people are crazy. I grew up there :p

Why do they have scarfs and hats on their heads indoors? Sensitive hair follicles or skin problems? It must be. Otherwise it's just silly.
