Artist: Hanoi Rocks

pic via I love Michael Monroe. I think I've made that pretty clear. If you want to see Psychotic Frenzy: The Band, you really need to catch his show. I did... twice. First up was the Bowery Ballroom in NYC. I'd never been there before, and my first thoughts upon entering were, "Oh God, he's [...]

Michael Monroe Shows NYC Crowd He's Not Fakin' It.

pic via Speaking about glam metal, Def Leppard's Joe Elliott claimed that Hanoi Rocks were the only band that "pulled it off." And while Def Leppard is now lumped with glam bands like Poison, and are currently touring with Motley Crue, that doesn't make his assertion any less true. Hanoi Rocks were originals. That angry, shithead punk [...]

Wyldlife by Wyldlife If Wyldlife had come up ten years earlier, they would easily have been picked up by a major label alongside The Strokes and The Star Spangles. Forming out of Purchase College, Wyldlife quickly strided into the New York music scene with a pair of leather boots on their feet and a mission in their hearts: to bury the days of tame rock and roll. Still digging on their collection of 70's punk and power pop, perhaps the boys were born into the entirely [...]

News A new video update from former HANOI ROCKS guitarist Andy McCoy can be seen below.

My iTunes decided to define Michael Monroe's Sensory Overdrive as indie rock, which is just wrong. Indie rock makes me think of like… wait, I don't even know anymore. Pavement? The Postal Service? Do those count? My college roommate would listen to all that stuff so any knowledge I have is very much secondhand. Anyway, [...]

Long-time readers of MetalSucks are fully aware of my lifelong obsession with Mötley Crüe. Okay, it was more like a two-year love affair, at least until I discovered Terry Glaze-fronted Pantera, Metallica, and the English Dogs. I have ruined any chances of running for public office by openly displaying my dress-up capabilities as both Vince [...]

When thinking of bands from Scandinavia your list would probably start with Abba, then move on to other mainstream ones like Roxette, Ace of Base and The Cardigans. You might also have a complete list of all the Death Metal bands to hail from there. Alternatively you may well be heading into my particular taste area with such great bands as Hanoi Rocks, Sugarcubes (and my favourite elfin chanteuse Björk ) and Sigur Rós . If that's the case I've got another one for you. This band goes by the decidedly odd name of [...]

THE FUCKING BALLS ON VINCE NEIL. Let's review the man's past, shall we? In 1984, he was in a drunk driving accident that killed Hanoi Rocks drummer Razzle and severely injured two other people, leaving at least one of them with permanent brain damage. Neil was unharmed. He did thirty days in prison, 200 hours [...]

Andy McCoy, one of the founding members of Hanoi Rocks, wrote a book. In 2008. [Our own Corey Mitchell reviewed it in 2010. - Ed.] I read it pretty recently as it came to me with a bunch of Christmas/Hannukah/New Year's loot. My family doesn't celebrate anything, so we basically give each other presents because [...]

I was gearing up to do another Album of the Day, but it gets trying having to express just how much some album is making me figuratively shit myself. Saying I love it over and over like a broken record (har har) isn't all that much fun to write, let alone read, so I was [...]

Banner Designed by Cysquatch Welcome to "Question of the Week," a (sometimes) weekly debate amongst the MetalSucks staff regarding a recent hot button issue. There weren't any real hot button topics this week, so we decided to just play a fun game that used to keep Vince and Axl occupied for many a lunch period when they [...]

Banner Designed by Cysquatch Welcome to "Question of the Week," a (sometimes) weekly debate amongst the MetalSucks staff regarding a recent hot button issue. Since it's hair metal week here at MetalSucks, it seemed only appropriate to consider a glamtastic question. So we asked our writers: WHICH HAIR METAL BAND FROM THE '80s BEST STANDS THE TEST OF [...]

One day mankind will go extinct and the remains of our civilization will later be picked over by aliens. Though they can speedily assemble collections of most homo erectus artifacts for their alien museums, their super-brains will struggle to grasp and group the arts of Earth, y'know, for their encyclopedias and stuff. So it's in [...]

Read Leyla's list of The Top Ten Worst Hair Metal Band Names here. All right, this was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be and for a while I considered just doing a part two of bad names. But, like hair metal itself, there are always some gems floating amidst the [...]

In 1984 Vince Neil went driving while drunk and subsequently killed or maimed three people, only one of whom had actually been stupid enough to get in the car with him. Then, last week, he was arrested in Vegas for drunk driving, demonstrating that the fateful night twenty-six years ago really had a long-lasting impact [...]

Ancora problemi con alcol e motori per Vince Neil, storico cantante della leggendaria band heavy/glam metal Mötley Crüe . Arrivato alla soglia dei cinquant'anni, Vince non ha ancora perso il vizio di bere e, per l'ennesima volta, la polizia americana lo ha beccato a guidare in stato di ubriachezza. Questa volta Vince si trovava a Las Vegas (Nevada) e i poliziotti della Clark County, constatate le condizioni in cui versava il cantante, hanno dovuto per forza arrestarlo, fissando la cauzione a 2.000$. Come ben sapranno i fans dei Mötley Crüe, Vince non è nuovo a questo genere [...]

So according to Radar Online, Vince Neil was arrested this morning in Las Vegas. "What as the charge?" you ask? Did he get busted with drugs? Smack a porn start? Did the LVPD finally come to their senses and arrest him for crimes against good taste? Nope. He was arrested for... suspicion of DUI. Vince Neil. The [...]

Motorhead played their second SXSW performance and the opening act was quite a treat! Michael Monroe of Hanoi Rocks did a set with former bandmate Sami Yaffa and Steve Conte of The New York Dolls, and Ginger from the Wildhearts as his backing band. I love seeing glam-rock icons in leather pants doing splits on stage. Here are a few photos from the show and backstage.

That's right, folks, new autobiographies are headed to your nearest bookstore and online retailers from former Guns 'n Roses drummer/VH1 house boy, Steven Adler and Megadeth mastermind/Metallica thorn, Dave Mustaine. Adler, renowned not only for being the original drummer for Guns N' Roses, but also for getting shit-canned by the band for being too much of a druggie, releases his [...]
