Biography

Finland's major export to the world of heavy metal, Hanoi Rocks, drew much of their sound and inspiration from '70s glam-rock and were thought by some to have fused the two styles more successfully than similar acts such as Motley Crue. Hanoi Rocks was founded in 1980 by singer Michael Monroe (born Matti Fagerholm) and guitarist Andy McCoy (born Antti Hulkko); after some lineup changes, the rest… Read more in Amazon's Hanoi Rocks Store

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic, melodic glam/punk, November 4, 2004
By Jon Schultz (Des Moines, IA USA) - See all my reviews
This cd is a great compilation, but I don't know why everyone keeps labeling these guys as 80's pop/glam metal-They have more of a rootsy, rock-n-roll sound, more like classic punk. Anyways, i've always liked HR, and this collection is one the best you can get. It has all their best songs (where's Don't Never Leave Me?) and it's a great introduction to this classic band.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finnish Glam Punk that Rocks, October 20, 2004
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Straight up this is the most catchy, upbeat, hard rocking, non-commercial music that I have ever heard. It took a few listens to really "get," but I haven't been able to pull this out of my car disc player yet. Highlights include "Tragedy," which sounds much like a Billy Idol track, "Lost in the City," which was the inspiration for GnR's "Paradise City", "I Want You" - sounds almost like the Rolling Stones, "Self Destruction Blues," and "Beer and a Cigarette." Great, great stuff. Can't get enough of it!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Too Much Fun, April 15, 2004
By Michael J Harper "Luxuriate" (Covina, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I cant see how these guys dont have much more then cult status. Obviously this band wasn't and isn't promoted half as well as they should've been. This is like the Ramones meet New York Dolls headlong into the most pop/rock/punk fun I've heard in years. I cannot see alot of comparrisons to later glam metal bands at all. I see Motley Crue dressed very similar and maybe the poppier tunes of "Too Fast For Love", but Motley Crue and most later Glam metal bands didn't sing about the things Hanoi Rocks did. These guys didn't seem to be as pretentious half as much as the bleeding hearted power-ballad or satanic-imagery bands of the mid 80's which I completely loved anyhow. This reminds me alot more of Roxy Music and the Ramones in the lyrical department.

Reguardless the sound samples dont do thier music justice. HOOKY!, poppy, rythems occasional tossed with saxaphone and harmonica to add a very light blues atmosphere. This is music for a good mood with the simplicity enough to make you feel left alone to dance without any pretense or care.

Awesome!!
