HANOI ROCKS Singer: AXL ROSE Was Scared Of Sharing The Stage With Us

[DemocracyRose]

Who cares about Hanoi Rocks anymore???

But i still think that "Aint it fun" on Spag. in. are one of best songs, that GNR had covered....

[Bubba St. Rose]

Hanoi Rocks??!! Ha. Ha. ha.hahahahahahahahahahahahahaaa! Michael Monroe is a joke and so is his band. The greatest band that never made it!!!! HAHAHAHAHA. You always here people talk about Hanoi Rocks like they made some important contribution to rock music. They made about as much of a dent as TUFF!!! Nothing this guy says means crap. Just my opinion.

[noonespecial]

IMO I didn't  feel that Monroe's comments regarding Axl were negative.  Admittedly, he  said that he's not real close friends with him, and IMO you're real  friends aren't  just people that  say "yes, yes, yes" and let you be unaccountable for your choices...that's a job for teenage fanatics of a rock n roll band...he  doesn't like the new band...so what...and I  agree with him, I  don't envy Axl either...Axl  may think  Monroe's on drugs because Axl has no clue as to what inner peace all about (not calling Monroe a  Ghandi  or  anything) but if you're not "getting it" on the inside,  you ain't gonna find it on the outside.  I actually felt sorry for Axl after reading that...not that  I  wasn't feeling sorry for him before that.  The guy just doesn't seem happy or content and there's no way he's ever going to be unless he stops harboring these resentements towards his old bandmates (that resentment  does absolutley nothing to Slash, etal.) it only tears up the person (physically and emotionally) who won't let it go.

[Hammer1]

Michael makes comments like "they had no real connection with the audience" and "I told Slash myself he was shining" "get off Prozac" refferring to Axl.


I'm sorry this guy is an asshole, for some reason he is bashing Axl and you know what I think he is jealous in someway about something Axl has done or is about to do!!!!!

This goof makes reference to how much money Axl has made "too much money too fast" like fuck off Mike Monroe you wish you had half the adoration and fame that Axl has had in his career. What makes Axl 10 times the man you are is the fact that he stays out of the "public eye" and doesnt sit down and bash washed up musicians like you!!!!


Unless of course their has been a public conflict on going with two artists like Kurt Cobain, Axl or Vince Neil.

This guy is the most obvious suck up I have ever seen.  He sees Slash and Velvet Revolver as the best chance for a come back (because of the cd release and video) and probably has tried to get in touch with Axl and Co. and not had any luck so he is looking else where for tour suppport.  This is all about personal gain for his band.


Sad to say it's hard to have a come back when you were never on TOP!!!!!!

I watched him on the monitor on the second day of the show and the guitar player [Buckethead] was just so mediocre. It was like watching a cover band, and they looked ridiculous. They had no connection with the audience.

Watched the gig on a monitor? He wasn't even in the crowd or on the stage?

Isn't that what Kerrang! did at Rock In Rio 2 in 1991?

goddam that's the most stupid post I've read long time..you just don't get it. and I understant that, 'cause you don't know a fuck you're writing about. do you believe serious that this guy would call up to Axl's and beg him to give some job or something. Hammer 1's post is a perfect examble of a poster that doesn't know what his writing about, it's a warning examble..can't believe the stupidity of some people.

oh my god are you ever an angry BOY

1st - Your spelling and grammar are dispicable!
2nd - Your accussations about what I know are totally errogant!
3rd - I can't  even understand your post!
4th - What's so hard to understand, THE GUY IS A LOSER WITH VERY FEW FRIENDS IN THE BUSINESS AND HE HAS NOTHING NICE TO SAY ABOUT ANYONE (READ METAL SLUDGE ARTICLE).

(Sorry about the caps)

I am sorry but I thought this was a form to express our views on GUNS N ROSES not each other!

Your way to hostile!

Right.... Stop with the stupid insults.

Hammer 1 (and rest of the posters)


I liked to read your post till number 4.. I guess the first three ones are very true lol    . I totally disagree you with number 4 but let's just leave that alone.

as you have all noticed I have been little/too pissed. so I' m sorry for the insults that I've probably made towards other posters. I crossed a line, I admit that, but I have just experienced few of this thread's posts very low class posts.

english isn't my mother tongue so I hope you can get something out of this post.

John Daniels,

You seem to know more about Hanoi Rocks than most other people on this board, so my question is for you.

You said that this thread is 'old news' correct?  

There is another thread (Mike Monroe talks with Metal Sludge thread) a few pages back.  

Which interview is newer?

I'd like to know because in the Metal Sludge interview, he said some very nice things about Axl, and I think he genuinely cares about Axl.  After all, they were friends, and admired each other a lot.

I don't know the current situation with the Mike and Axl. but they used to be good friends. Axl even was in Mike's video "dead, jail or rock and roll"


and that "not sharing the stage with Hanoi" is old news here in Finland. It has been written in magazines about 1,5 - 2 years ago when Hanoi did a gig in Japan


edit. don't know which one is older..as someone said these interviews have been made 'cause of Hanoi's promotial tour in states. they will do a few promo gigs in late spring/summer.

if there wasnt a hanoi rocks there wouldnt be a guns n roses? thats bout as stupid as axl saying without paul tobias there would be no more guns n roses

u are saying that musicians as talented as axl,slash,duff,izzy and steven wouldnt have got signed if it wasnt for hanoi rocks? come on dude i agree with most of your posts but that is crazy

mike monroe seems bitter to me, jealous even and his bashing of axl to me is unwarranted

[badapple81]

What a Slash brown-noser.. running to Slash to tell him all about how crappy Axl is.

No wonder Axl feels betrayed by so many 'friends'.

I think he is just jealous, like The Offspring, that Axl can just come back out of so much silence and create such hype and take all of the attention, so he bags him out for self-promotion.

All i have 2 say is.....................

HANOI ROCK LICK HAIRY BALLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Methanol]

... Or could it simply be that truth hurts? After all, it doesn't matter if you like Hanoi Rocks or not, or believe what Michael is saying. It's a band that is doing everything the current GNR is not doing: Releasing records, doing tours, giving interviews... It's not like with Axl who gives an interview every 5 years and we spend the next two years thinking what he really meant.

From what I have understood Michael is good friends with Slash and other ex-GNR folks, so I think it gives him a slightly better perspective to say his opinion of f.ex Axl's new band than many other people. Not saying his sayings would mean any more than anyone elses, it just that if you're friend with people you really don't have to kiss their ass and take whatever comes as "cool" or whatever...  

Anyway... My wild guess is that in the first quarter of 2005 Hanoi Rocks fans will be listening the next Hanoi album while the most stubborn GNR2 fans are still building that bullet proof theory of why Chinese Democracy is definitely coming out in 2005...

great post.





It's just that when a one got this "fuck this, fuck that", "Axl is the greatest", "no one can say anything bad about Axl" attitude ready. I find it very difficult to explain something about for e. Hanoi Rocks, when a one got his ears already shot before any conversation, it's like a speaking to deaf. a one don't get it and don't want to get it. how can you get an information to one's head when situation is this poor.  

for examble we have a poster PunkRocker saying HANOI ROCK LICK HAIRY BALLS...you know, it's a fuckin ridiculous, a fucking joke. the guy doesn't even know the right name of the band (Hanoi Rocks). I guess he has that "attitude"..."he won't listen nothing bad about Axl" and "Axl is the highest truth"..It's frustrating to see that people don't know really what they are talking about. They just defend their leader blindly.

And I bet that if Axl Rose himself would be on this board...he would say to most of the Hanoi bashers "shut the fuck up" "show some respect, they did something with their lives and succeed something that you haven't succeed/done so far."

[Buritoking]

I guess all I can add to this conversation is that I've never heard of Hanoi Rocks, nor has any of my friends, or anyone I've asked. And the only reason I know Mike Monroe is because of Ain't It Fun, I guess that insult enough. Maybe he should spend less time bad mouthing people, and more time trying to get more fans.....

Then again some people like being paid in yen.

[kupirock]

... Or could it simply be that truth hurts?

Well mike/andy hardly talk anything that is true...

Like Andy once said that Hanoi have many gold records from US..now that's a lie and everybody knows it.

Andy also said that Hanoi is and allways will be biggest selling finnish artist...That is also a lie...They've sold a shit compared to Bomfunk Mc's or Darude or Stratovarius or Nightwish or HIM or Apocalyptica...

Andy said once (soundi 2001) that biggest gig he ever played is texas front of 130000 people AND THAT IS ALSO LIE!!

I agree with Axl on a few out of many occasions, so I am not someone who just defends Axl time after time.

But this guy is talking shit on this occasion, the crowd loved the new GNR, as they did the old one through the many shows they played over there over the last decade or so.

And yeah I agree that they should be shown some respect, but im not bashing them with go lick donkeys balls insults, just giving my take on things. And I doubt Axl would be telling us that we havent done shit with our lives, cos I for one certainly have thus far.

Was Axl scared to take the stage with him? Who knows. I doubt it, I think this guy is just giving himself some self promotion. Axl has taken the same stage as  the Chillis, Metallica, Elton John, Queen and the great Mix Master Mike
