Yes, they were complimenting Hanoi Rocks :)

@JaymzSuperSport it was reported in Classic Rock around this time that the bad blood between Michael Monroe and Gene stems from an interview that Michael did when Hanoi reformed slamming Gene for being a chauvinistic pig. Gene said it was a shame because Hanoi had been considered to open for KISS in Japan but Michael ruined that and perhaps his band members should have a word with him because they are a good band. Michael apologised in 2007 but Gene's not let it drop

@jbyrne82 this year's classic rock awards when monroe won the album of the year and gene hosted the event.. they were ok and they buried their axes.. :D

Fuck you Gene! Fucking douche only knows Lordi. Singer and Thayer are real rockers for knowing Michael Monroe and Hanoi Rocks. That Marilyn Monroe joke was fucking stupid and Gene is a greedy cocksucker.

@JohnKulo He doesn't care about rock.... haha thats a laugh. Hell the name Gene Simmons is even taken from an old rock'a'billy musician. He has a love for old fashion rock'n'roll. He cares about rock but he was also dirt poor as a kid being born 4 years after WWII, his mother in Holocaust camps, immigrating to America...etc so he wanted to make sure he was NEVER poor again hence the mass marketing.

@scottelement Gene Simmons is not a real rocker because he does not care about rock. All he cares about is his bank account.

[scottelement]

@JohnKulo Gene Simmons isn't a real rocker because he doesn't know about a Finnish band? LOL someone sounds butt hurt! I'd say the 40+ years touring, recording albums, playing bass, producing.....etc makes Gene a REAL rocker. Also anyone that bitches about "the space man" being replaced: How many members has Hanoi Rocks had in their history? SUCH hypocrites.

[labbern]

Lol! LORDI! :)

Kiss is a money making machine...

@Jupppeee Hope so

It looks like they were complimenting Hanoi Rocks. Michael Monroe is a stage name. His real name is Matti Fagerholm. The famous actress Marilyn Monroe is obviously the reason for choosing the pseudonym "Monroe". I don't see anything that offensive about making a joke about it.
