kyrie Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Well this might start some rumours, but Axl we know is in New York, and Michael Monroe (Hanoi Rocks, with a new band now) is going to be in New York for the first time in a decade at the start of May. Think he has some gigs - May 6th and May 9th. The show on the 6th is John Varvatos' private gig thing.Given Monroe has been on two GN'R albums and Hanoi Rocks was a huge influence on GN'R, and given Axl is apparently old friends with him... think we might see a guest spot?If anyone's going to the gig(s), keep your eyes peeled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bansidhe Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Only know a handful of Hanoi tunes but I know he's got Ginger Wildheart in his band now so there will be some tasty guitar playing for those who see them live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsh327 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Odds are Axl will be showing up the private gig because he prob. helped line it up, but that's the type of show you're going to see a lot of familiar faces in the crowd. Props go to Varvatos for keeping CBGB's alive in a small way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowlinWolf Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 I know Monroe just called him a "true rocker", but I also read an interview not so long ago when he had some not so nice things to say about Axl... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Line-up was: Monroe, Ginger, Sam Yaffa, Steve Conte and Karl Rosqvist.It was Top5 show in last few years to me. It was great to see Ginger in action without him doing lead vocals. He is amazing rocker, and of course Michael as well.Here is one photo of Michael and Sam what I put to the article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosonen Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Never really liked Hanoi or anything Mike put out. He's still stuck in the 80's musically and otherwise.And I never really understood what Axl or the others saw in his music that was so special. Maybe there was something there 30 years ago and you can hear influences from Hanoi in AFD, or more like influences of the 80's. But that's it.But hey, if Axl likes the chap, then why not, do a duet or some stuff.I agree with you. I`ve never understood what was so great about Hanoi.

ChineseDemocracy2004 Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 I can't imagine the guys doing Aint It Fun but I would like to see it. I would even like Bach to do it instead of My Michelle sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kickingthehabit Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Perharps the fact that they embodied everything GN'R aspired to be back in 1986?Perhaps, dunnoAxl's 87 look was obviously inspired by Monroe, and it's likely he lifted the "Welcome to the Jungle" line from a Hanoi Rocks song called Underwater World. GNR also used one of Hanoi's earlier ballads as the basis for Don't Cry, but I can't remember the title — the riff is almost identical. There's also early pictures of their drummer, Razzle, wearing top hats.. They would have been massive had they started in LA, but by the time they got to the states, bands like Motley Crue had already taken their image and popularized it..-Kickingthehabit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpi Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Kosonen and all the other guys who don't "get" Hanoi...you should at least check out their album "Two Steps from the Move" . In my honest opinion, it's one of the greatest albums by a Finnish band ever. You can listen to it on Spotify if you have an account. But if you don't have, just find another way. It's good. It's really good. Give it a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
