We were a bunch of teenage metalhead in my small town in France. One evening this video appeared on TV. Next day there was no other conversation topic than "have you seen that band????" I found the album on a flea market. Next time we heard of these guys is when Razzle died.
y grandparents had a place up in Canada for the summers. A friend of mine introduced me to them and showed me a video off of MuchMusic. I ended up trading him an Autograph cassette for Two Steps From The Move and Triumph's Thunder Seven album. I was addicted immediately and went out and bought all their imports. In the early 90's I had the privelge of getting to meet and talk with Sammy, at a Jetboy concert. A real class act that was just blown away by how much my GF just loved HR.

Was watching MTV one day. Yes, in the 80s. Was just about to turn the channel and this video came on. After the video was over, went to the record store and bought the cassette of two steps from the move. Also went to the liquor store and bought a 12 pack. Then rocked out.
🇫🇮💙 🇫🇮💙 🇫🇮💙 🇫🇮💙 🇫🇮💙 🇫🇮💙 I am proud to be Finnish & I have LOVED Hanoi Rocks since the very early 80's. I had to go to a music store two hours away from my hometown so I could special order their CDs! When Michael Monroe dropped his solo album & he guest hosted as a "VJ" on Mtv? I was there with a VHS tape in the VCR and the remote firmly in my hands. I recorded each & every time he was onscreen. I loved when he would go on air after a commercial & he almost sounded shy saying, "Hiiii...This is Michael Monroe..." Sigh. I endlessly watched and rewound that tape...until the dreaded day when it was eaten by the VCR. I even did the old "cut & splice with Scotch tape" trick a few times until it finally went to 🔥hell🔥 *One of the better metal covers I've heard...they cranked up a classic, had fun, & added some much needed energy. Compounded with their "glam rock" look in the video, & Michael Monroe's cheekbones, I thought it would/should be a bigger hit. I do believe it would have been bigger if re-released. Of course the horrible & tragic accident that took Razzle way too soon and Vince Neil's subsequent lack of any real justice was & remains a travesty. IMHO, I think it puts CCR/John (Johnny One-Note) Fogerty waaaaay on the back-burner. Hanoi Rocks rocks this one passed any other version. 🇫🇮SISU🇫🇮
Finland's pride🇫🇮😀!!!.. Awesome band...I was a 15 year old teenager when the song came out in the early 80's and now I'm 50!!!.....Ah almost forgot"SISU 😀🇫🇮😀!!!"from an american🇺🇸 that currently lives in Laos🇱🇦!!!...
I don't know what I would of done in the 80's and 90's without all the Finnish, Swedish and German glam and metal bands. Whether it was Hanoi Rocks or Shotgun Messiah. Greatest period for music ever and I'm still finding old bands I never even got the chance to hear of till now
@@chasegallop8488 they didn't say the only great glam band :v They said ONE of the best Guns n roses biggest inspiration is Hanoi Rocks so without Hanoi Rocks gnr wouldn't be that good, just Google it 🙄 Btw I love KISS
Forgot how tongue in cheek this video was. Great cover! Loved these guys! Had my ticket to see them in Hollywood Cali until what happened happened. Sucks!
used to love these still have this on single & remember seeing these in London 1983 at the Lyceum they were the first band on at an all dayer with the Adicts / Screaming Lord Sutch / the Meteors & headlined by Sex Gang Children great days.
Bought this and oriental beat in 84-85. I was 8 years old. At the time loved Ratt Judas Priest The Crue Dokken but I never could get into Hanoi Rocks an English glam rock band. But I do wish I still had those L.P.s
@@adventuresofmoonman aw no shit! Yeh. I was young when I was into them, like 8-9 yrs old. Yeh, always assumed them to be English thou. You know those Norse really like their metal, especially these days.
Great band. Razzle great drummer, very talented, miss him very much, more pictures of Razzle need to be posted and more information about him so he is not forgotten!
This brings me back to my childhood. I remember seeing these guys on headbanger's ball, always thought michael monroe's dead jail and rock n roll album was awesome.
hate to break it to ya' but their music goes back a bit before 1990. I still have 3 copies of "Two Steps from the Move" released in 1984, one of which is on vinyl, I bought it new that year, in September or October. Couldn't wait for them come thru Philly on tour. Sadly, Razzle was killed a couple of months later.
I wish they would make "THE DIRT" into a HOLLYWOOD history Series... acted by all the best New and upcoming actors & musicians in the scene I am sort of SICK of everybody SUDDENLY believing everything over the 20 odd years was exactly and ONLY what happened in that cool Motley Crue movie
Up until January of 85, I had made a point of watching TV as little as possible, trying not to own one, although once in a while someone would give me a black and white, which would almost always get pawned for 10.00, traded for drugs, or stolen. Then my life changed drastically and suddenly I was watching MTV for the first time. I watched lots of videos but the only one that I remember clearly was "Boulevard of Broken Dreams." One night a couple of months ago I decided I wanted to hear it and watch it again, and ended up reading about this band, who have more to do with early punk scene (New York Dolls, Dee Dee Ramone) than the Hollywood glam that came after. They could easily have been packaged and marketed as punk, but Mike's refusal to change his style or cut his hair made that impossible. They were just a little ahead of their time, pushed boundaries, as with this Creedence cover, and with the possible exception of G&R, whose musicianship I like, but can't stand Axl's misogyny and racism, were better than most who came after; Poison, Skid Row, Ratt, and all the rest are very vague in my memory. This band stands out, and generally I can't stand the whole corporate/Hollywood style. You can't say that this band was not unique and original in their approach. They actually "meant it."
In 1985 these guys literally looked and pretty much sounded more or less like every other band in the LA scene during the early/mid 80s. I'm not shitting on them, I'm just confused at all the comments about them being "unique." I realize they aren't natives of southern CA so maybe they were different during their early days in Helsinki (I think?) and maybe that's what those comments refer to.
I'm 50 years old and I still have a Hanoi Rocks t-shirt from the early 80s
I’m 17 and got mine for my birthday 🤘

Hanoi Rocks - Awesome band, broke up way too soon. RIP Razzle
De Tomaso Panteras will break up groups!!!!!
@Samuel Hansen they were both drunk.
These guys were poised to be huge but Razzle died and that let the air out..
Courtesy of Vince Neil
CCR! Up around the bend...
Hanoi Rocks is the blueprint for true glam metal or glam rock. Great hooks and fun shock value. Man were they the best!
but they didn't write this song lmao
Glam rock and glam punk, not the stupid glam metal...
And Slade. And the New York dolls. And Sweet. And the bay city rollers. And Kiss. And on and on...
Sleaze rock
But they weren't glam metal

Razzle was in Hanoi Rocks. Totally different band, Even though they did sound like this (Minus the wanker 80's guitar solos.)

Wot a fantastic little song, brilliant guitar riffs and production,
I challenge anybody to listen to this and not instantly love it🎶🎸
It’s a cover
@JCStorm76 I didn't say anything different, I just thought it's a great song that's all
I got this album when it came out, still listening to it to this day.
Me too , got a couple on coloured vinyl or pic disk , very occasionally I'll get All Those Wasted Years out , and turn it up to 11 🍻

Hanoi Rocks is my favorite band ever. I love these guys so much they're so cute. This is my favorite song of theirs. I miss Razzle so much RIP 💜
Hanoi rocks has to be one of the best bands ever ❤️
Bangkok Shocks. Saigon Shakes. HANOI ROCKS!
Tooting Becks!
You guys are still doing Cocaine
Great band. ❤❤❤
Hanoi Forever!! Always my favorite
Razzle gone to soon! Still missed very much! Will never be forgotten!
I used to blast this in high school when it first came out. Its still good too.
Bangkok shocks, Saigon shakes... HANOI ROCKS!!!!!!
Easily one of the best glam rock bands ever
If Vince Neil didn't drive while drunk, Razzle would still be kicking. But you can't change the past. Only learn from it.
But KISS and Guns N’ Roses exists
@@chasegallop8488 they didn't say the only great glam band :v
They said ONE of the best
Guns n roses biggest inspiration is Hanoi Rocks so without Hanoi Rocks gnr wouldn't be that good, just Google it 🙄
Btw I love KISS
@@chasegallop8488 Guns are glam metal, not glam rock
Chase Gallop GnR have two good albums and that’s it ( in my opinion ofc) but I love kiss
Forgot how tongue in cheek this video was. Great cover!
Loved these guys! Had my ticket to see them in Hollywood Cali until what happened happened. Sucks!
To see them all so young again and the energy that was Razzle.
used to love these still have this on single & remember seeing these in London 1983 at the Lyceum they were the first band on at an all dayer with the Adicts / Screaming Lord Sutch / the Meteors & headlined by Sex Gang Children great days.
Form finland in the 80 came hard rock.GOAT
Love and miss Razzle
you knew him? cool!
If i could go back in time one of my first stops would be these lads at their peak mid 84 🍻
It would be great if you threw a garden party and Hanoi Rocks randomly dropped in!
I.posses all albums of Hanoi roxx and today i still love the music of this rockers from Helsinki
Fantastica band finlandese ❤
A great cover from the great band (alas criminally underrated).
Razzle is so cute and funny in this video 🥺🥰🥰💕
I remember watching this on MTV as a teen in the 80s I would fucking jam out hard my mom thought I needed help 😆
They were truly amazing

@@alicepatterson2827 He ain't forgotten
This always confused me too, it's a Finnish band, singing about America, in an English accent.. What's not to like?!
Grande cover !
This band is cray cray ☠️
One of the best of the Poodle Rockers, and there's not many.
They weren't though. They were nothing really to do with that genre thankfully and ceased to exist before that crap became so insufferable.
Best finnish band ever!
hmmm, ok ;)
The greatest cover version EVER!
Brilliant band
One of the few cover versions that are at least as good as the original.
I love both Nazareth and Hanoi Rocks version. Sometimes I hate the cover versions. But this was great twice.
My BEST bAND OF ALL TIME.
Should've been the biggest band of its kind.
They are very good x
Tommy Lee has never been able to hold a candle to Razzle!! Imagine if he had joined the Crue!!!
As they always say"BANGKOK SHOCKS"and"HANOI ROCKS!!!"...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
AND BOI COCKS
Legends..
Great band!
Now you know where ALL the L. A. Bands of the 80's got their ideas and inspiration from, HANOI ROCKS! \m/
LEGENDS 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Dam what should have been. Hanoi Rocks Great Lineup
This brings me back to my childhood. I remember seeing these guys on headbanger's ball, always thought michael monroe's dead jail and rock n roll album was awesome.
Not Fakin It was a brilliant album. Not one bad song. Much like Hanoi, not one bad song. Mike is brilliant at covering songs
Long Live Hanoi Rocks
I so remember this song god i miss the 80s !!!
So do I mate. So do I. :)
I still can't believe Vince Neil ended this band, rest in peace Razzle
Blimey, I never EVER knew that hanoi actually DID VIDEOs?¬?
Hmmm we miss you love always old friends

The best version of this music.
I love Michael Monroe 💖

Hope people don’t mind me asking. I’m new to Hanoi Rocks music (just started listening like 10 min. ago lol) what is CCR?
Samantha Victoria Creedance Clearwater Revival
Daryl Laperle tysm!!!
You just asked tht?!? God damn..
McGrizz 2002 sorry I’m younger too
a band, Creedence Clearwater Revival. and a good fucking band too
This song is just fun!
I want pants like that 🤘
Cool
That was awesome 👏 first time hearing them
great song .
at 0:17 seconds in... yes... Creedence Clearwater Revival is THAT much associated with Vietnam.
Nice "Hot LZ" pose with the instruments.
Hanoi Rocks covering this song in the early 80s would be like a band today covering "Dani California" by the Chili Peppers.
953739 dollars...just for 3 minutes
But that's pure Hanoi Rocks. Sorry, Creedence Clearwater Revival, they bit you
0:43 yo wtf eminem? lmfaooo

It is confusing enough without the hardly at all translations!?

Just Poison? Every rock band in the 80s, glam metal look

Sleaze rock teachers
Michael Monroe really reminds me of Mick Jaggar
@LIVEANDLIZZY No, I meant Michael Monroe from Hanoi Rocks
Mick Jagger never looked this good
That party looked boring af till Hanoi arrived
Those darn rapscallions, crashing the stuffy rich people party.
Rock&Roll!!🤘🎸
You should listen to the CCRevival version.

I had a friend that lied to me and abused my trust for years. They introduced me to this cover version. I call it a draw.
