Hanoi Rocks Performing September 2005
Hanoi or Ha Noi ( or ; vi, Hà Nội ) is the capital and second-largest city of Vietnam. It covers an area of . It consists of 12 urban districts, one district-leveled town and 17 rural districts. Located within the Red River Delta, Hanoi is the cultural and political centre of Vietnam. Hanoi can trace its history back to the third century BCE, when a portion of the modern-day city served as the capital of the historic Vietnamese nation of Âu Lạc. Following the collapse of Âu Lạc, the city was part of Han China. In 1010, Vietnamese emperor Lý Thái Tổ established the capital of the imperial Vietnamese nation Đại Việt in modern-day central Hanoi, naming the city Thăng Long (literally 'Ascending Dragon'). Thăng Long remained Đại Việt's political centre until 1802, when the Nguyễn dynasty, the last imperial Vietnamese dynasty, moved the capital to Huế. The city was renamed Hanoi in 1831, and served as the capital of French Indochina from 1902 to 1945. On ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
All Those Wasted Years
''All Those Wasted Years'' is the first live album by the Finnish rock band Hanoi Rocks, released in 1984. In initial pressing of this album's name was misspelled as "All Those Waisted Years", while correct spelling has been used with later releases of this album, but the original release with the misspelled title is very rare. The album was recorded in December 1983 at The Marquee Club in London, about a year before the death of Hanoi Rocks' drummer Razzle. The live engineer was Mick Staplehurst, the longtime FOH Engineer for Hanoi Rocks. A video of the same shows recorded for the album was released at the same time, but with a different track listing. For example, the video featured a cover of the Ramones song "Blitzkrieg Bop" (which had Razzle on vocals and Michael Monroe on drums). The video is also missing the songs "Visitor", "11th Street Kids" and "Lost in the City" Track listing Personnel ;Hanoi Rocks * Michael Monroe – lead vocals, saxophone, harmonica * Andy ...

People Like Me (song)
"People Like Me" is a single by the Finnish rock band Hanoi Rocks, and is the comeback-single of the band, who had broken-up in 1985. The single was certified Gold and reached number one on the Finnish singles chart. "People Like Me" is the fruit of Andy McCoy and Michael Monroe's team-work and one of the biggest reasons for Hanoi Rocks' rebirth, was that McCoy let Monroe be an equal songwriter with him. Originally the song was one of the last demos by the original Hanoi Rocks before their drummer Razzle died in a car crash, but the song didn't get finished until 2002. A music video was also made, which showed the band performing in the studio and live. In Finland the song was also sold as a single, which featured "People Like Me", "Lucky", "Winged Bull" and a music video for the title-track. A promo-EP was also released in Finland which featured "People Like Me", "Lucky", "Delirious", "In My Darkest Moment" and the same music video as the single, but this EP was only meant fo ...

Don't You Ever Leave Me
"Don't You Ever Leave Me" is a song by Finnish glam metal band Hanoi Rocks, released as the third and final single from their 1984 album ''Two Steps from the Move''. "Don't You Ever Leave Me" made its first appearance on Hanoi Rocks' first album '' Bangkok Shocks, Saigon Shakes, Hanoi Rocks'', but it had more punky atmosphere and faster tempo. They remade the version, which the band loved much more. It is usually considered one of the best songs by Hanoi Rocks. The band's guitarist Andy McCoy commented on the song in Finnish ''Soundi'' magazine in 1984: "Well, yeah, we screwed up that song so bad back then, that we had to remake it now. As a song, I think it's fucking great and this version is what the original should have been.". The version of "Don't You Ever Leave Me" that's on the 12" single differs from the album and 7" single versions, as the 12" single version features the narration's (originally spoken by McCoy and Razzle) spoken by McCoy in Spanish.

Underwater World (Hanoi Rocks Song)
"Underwater World" is single released in 1984 by the Finnish rock and glam punk band Hanoi Rocks. "Underwater World" is from the band's US-breakthrough album ''Two Steps From The Move'', and was released as a single and as an EP in August 1984 in Finland and in November in the UK. The song was recorded with the rest of the album at the Record Plant in New York City and finished at the Phase One studio in Toronto, Ontario. The band's guitarist and primary songwriter Andy McCoy described the song in August 1984 in the Finnish music magazine ''Soundi'': "What could i say about it? It's a cool song, it swings. I don't want to say anything about the lyrics. Everybody can have their own interpretation". Later the band Guns N' Roses took the title of their hit song, "Welcome to the Jungle" from "Underwater World's" chorus where Michael Monroe sings: "Welcome to the ocean. Welcome to the sea. Welcome to the jungle. Deep inside of me.". The song "Shakes" was recorded in the same sessions ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Up Around The Bend
"Up Around the Bend" is a song by American rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival, written by the band's frontman John Fogerty. The song was composed and recorded only a few days prior to the band's April 1970 European tour and was included on the album ''Cosmo's Factory''. Released as a single, with "Run Through the Jungle" on the flipside, the double-sided single climbed to number four on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart in the spring of 1970. It was certified gold by the RIAA for sales of over one million copies. It was also a major hit in the UK, where it reached number three on the UK Singles Chart. The song opens with a prominent, high-pitched guitar riff played by John Fogerty. The song's lyrics have Fogerty telling of a gathering "up around the bend" on the highway and inviting the listener to join in. '' Cash Box'' described the song as a "powerfully sung and played bit of rock with excellent top forty drive." The song has been covered by artists such as Elton John, wh ...

Until I Get You
"Until I Get You" is a single by the Finnish rock and glam punk band Hanoi Rocks. The band's guitarist and primary songwriter Andy McCoy wrote this song at the band's manager Seppo Vesterinen's house in Helsinki. McCoy hated the song but the band's drummer Razzle loved it, and wanted it on their next record. Ultimately McCoy also fell in love with the song. The song is a kind of ballad that explains Hanoi Rocks' own melodic style very well. Also, the arrangement for the song was inspired by Alice Cooper's "I'm Eighteen". American band L.A. Guns covered the song on their album ''Rips the Covers Off'' in 2004. Track listing Personnel *Michael Monroe - Lead vocals *Andy McCoy - Lead guitar *Nasty Suicide - Rhythm guitar *Sam Yaffa - Bass * Razzle - Drums *Gyp Casino - Drums on "Tragedy" and "Oriental Beat" *Morgan Fisher - Keyboards on "Until I Get You" *Miriam Stockley - Backing vocals A backing vocalist is a singer who provides vocal harmony with the lead vocali ...

Malibu Beach Nightmare
"Malibu Beach Nightmare" (also known simply as "Malibu Beach") is a single and EP released only in the UK by the Finnish rock and glam punk band Hanoi Rocks. The song is from their 1983 album, ''Back to Mystery City'', but the single was released just before the album in the UK. The song was written by the band's guitarist and primary songwriter, Andy McCoy.

Dead By X-Mas
"Dead by X-Mas" is a song by the Finnish rock band Hanoi Rocks. The single was released prior to the band's 1982 album ''Oriental Beat'' but neither the A- or B-side were featured on an album until the band's third album, ''Self Destruction Blues''. The songs are well liked and were the biggest hits of Hanoi Rocks' early career. The B-side, "Nothing New", is not as well known as the A-side, "Dead by X-Mas". "Dead by X-Mas" has since been thought to be as a prediction of the death of drummer Razzle, who died in a car crash in December 1984. The chorus even has the lyrics "I'll be dead by X-mas now anyway". The lyrics tell a horror story which guitarist Andy McCoy said could happen. A cover version was released by the Japanese Visual kei band The Piass as a bonus track on their first album, ''Ryouki Kousatsu Chissoku-Shi'', in 1995. The song also played a role in an urban legend similar to that of Razzle's, since the vocalist and drummer, Chihiro and Hiroshi, died while filmin ...

Tragedy (Hanoi Rocks Song)
"Tragedy" is a single by the Finnish rock band Hanoi Rocks, from the album ''Bangkok Shocks, Saigon Shakes, Hanoi Rocks'', but "Tragedy" was released a little before the release of the album. "Tragedy" and its B-side, "Café Avenue", are the most well-known songs from Hanoi Rocks's early career. "Tragedy" was written by the band's guitarist Andy McCoy when he was 15 or 16. The lyrics basically deal with a typical teen story of a first love and how one imagines it will last forever. At some point it all collapses and it feels that the world is breaking. The result is a "tragedy" and tears. The song is very energetic and has a fast tempo. It is also melodic, even though the guitar parts are a punk style. "Tragedy" was recorded at Park Studios outside Stockholm at the ''Bangkok Shocks, Saigon Shakes, Hanoi Rocks'' recordings. "Café Avenue" talks about Hanoi Rocks's individualist-attitude and how it doesn't matter how you look and who you are. The song also features a story told fr ...

UK Indie Chart
The UK Independent Singles Chart and UK Independent Albums Chart are charts of the best-selling independent singles and albums, respectively, in the United Kingdom. Originally published in January 1980, and widely known as the indie chart, the relevance of the chart dwindled in the 1990s as major-label ownership blurred the boundary between independent and major labels. Separate independent charts are currently published weekly by the Official Charts Company. History In the wake of punk, small record labels began to spring up, as an outlet for artists that were unwilling to sign contracts with major record companies, or were not considered commercially attractive to those companies. By 1978, labels like Cherry Red, Rough Trade, and Mute had started up, and a support structure soon followed, including independent pressing, distribution and promotion. These labels got bigger and bigger, and by 1980 they were having Top 10 hits in the UK Singles Chart. Chart success was limited ...

Polish Single Charts
The Polish music charts are provided by ZPAV, the Polish Society of the Phonographic Industry (Polish: Związek Producentów Audio-Video). Albums charts In the 1970s and the 1980s, Polish music monthly ''Non Stop'' published a year-end list of the best selling albums in Poland. In the mid-1990s, two monthly sales lists were launched and published in music magazines. The first one was a top 50 compiled by ZPAV, based on shipment, not sales, which continues to be published to date. The other was a top 100 called Gorąca Setka (English: Hot 100), printed monthly in ''Gazeta Muzyczna''. This chart was compiled from actual sale figures as reported by over 130 music shops across Poland and included both albums and singles. From autumn 1994 to September 1997, journalist Artur Orzech presented a top 20 albums list on Radio Bis which was later extended to 25 and 30 positions. This chart was also based on actual sales data obtained from about 150 music shops, including albums as well as si ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
