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

[kockstar99]

Isnt Axl's Tattoo of the Rocker Face supposed to be a picture of Michael Monroe?  I think so... anyone???

[dave-gnfnr2k]

BH mediorce? Give me a break. The only reason he said that is because he is still close with slash.

[rocktar81]

Stop it. Beeing a good guitarist is not only playing 1000 notes per seconds, that's not that. Rock n' Roll is FEELING. Buckethead is technically amazing, probably better than Slash, faster, whatever you want, but in fact Buckethead is pretty weak: feeling: 0/10 charisma: 0/10  image/0/10 impact: 0/10. he is WEAK.
beeing "Rock n' Roll" is something you are, or you are not. It comes from your soul, it's inside you. That is the meaning of the word "music".
Slash is, Buckethead is not and will never be.

end of story.

I can't believe it's happening again.....  

Stop it, end of story.  

"rocktar81", go hang around in the Dead Horse section and come back when you've done with the "Bh vs Slash" discussion. Thank you.  


Mike Monroe is telling Axl to reunite with the old band. Mike himself refused to reunite with Any McCoy for years....

well Jarmo, I think unfortunately the "slash VS Buckethead" is something that will always happen for every Guns n' Roses fan on this planet...
even you, I'm sure you have your own opinion on this thing don't you?
I understand you don't want me to talk about it in this thread. that's ok. I won't do it anymore.
good night.

Yeah, my opinion is: Why argue about personal taste.

There you go.


On topic: I wonder how "well" Mike Monroe really knows Axl. They probably haven't met since the 90s. A lot can happen in ten years.


Edit: Split topic since we really don't need a new "BH vs Slash" topic...

Why is it always washed up rock stars that talk shit about axl, yet respect people like  Brian May, Zack Wylde and Elton John all talk very highly of Axl Rose?

Just something to think about.

[bill213]

Regardless of how what or who Axl has in GNR, I think he's always shown the utmost respect for Mike Monroe and even rereleased his damned albums on their label.  For Monroe to even make one tiny comment in negative retrospect for Axl is just a big slap in the face and I'm sure Axl probably feels happy that one of his idols has something bad to say.  Oh well just another Double Talkin' Jive motherfucker

great post bill!

imagine having all the people u thought were your friends all of a sudden turn on you

who cares about guns n roses, its only a band, there is still an axl rose the person and mike has no reason to talk shit about axl, hell how many new members have hanoi rocks had?

mike monroe shut up! please! u ungrateful bastard!

[SlashFan]

it's obvious that he is trying to stir some shit!

trying to kiss up to Slash - possibly trying to connect for touring in USA

whatever the case is for his comments, get a life! I don't see AXL giving statements to magazines about him.

He is getting a lot of people pissed off with him lately though. Over at metal sludge his isn't making any friends in Nikki Six or Traci Gunns.

Why do people have to bash AXL for "mental problems?" Give the guy a break about his personal life.

This guy seems very fucked up and resentful with the industry because his band never received the success it could have!

I say loooooser!!!!
 

I agree with this person.

[John Daniels]

Haha what an ego Monroe has, as if half the crowd would even know who the fuck he was!

  you just don't get it, do you.. Monroe has his past with LA scene..they never did make it through but it's just sad that some posters don't have any kind of respect for old timers no more. the man was/is kind of "name" when these hair metal bands started to born...among them Hanoi Rocks is underground legend and influence...

I bet most of people don't even know what they are really talking about not to mention Hanoi rocks's/Mike Monroe's/Andy Mccoy's history...I just say these guys are true rockers, they don't care what others are writing about their style, they do it with heart, they aren't for selling out..never have been. They are Hanoi Rocks, the rock and roll band, that is what it counts for them.

But here some snoppy posters seems to consider themselves as a highest truth and even doesn't got their facts straight...and funny part of this is that I bet most of the posters haven't even heard any songs from them. They just somehow feel to have the rights to write shit about the band. Just go and buy their latest album "twelve shots on the rocks" and then come here to write about the band and Mike. Maybe then you would have some weight in your words and bashing.


and yes. Hanoi is making few gigs in USA so he's being asked some questions and he answers to them.


edit. I really didn't find any shit talking in Mikes answers..they were just his own opinions..but shit talking..hmm, I didn't find any.

[Methanol]

I'd say the biggest difference between reborn Hanoi Rocks and current Guns N Roses is that Hanoi rocks managed to put out a killer new cd which is something the new GNR seems to be totally incapable of doing... Best stuff on 12 Shots literally pisses all over on everything I've heard from the new GNR so far.

The band is currently on promotional tour in the US btw...

[wonderall]

As far as I am concerned, we are all in the jungle.  I am sadend and have looked for something in the whole theme, but reality rules, sooooooooooo far. You think, maybe it is as easy as opening up and saying...MAN I F-UP.

You know, drugs f-u-up, especially in those days...end of story.  You don't think straight.   Time goes by.  There is an re-action for every action.  Some people actually go to bed at night and give a shit.  The others who don't, oh well, get in the ring...

It was neat to hear this post, but life goes on. (apparently)

It's f-up how drinking/drugs took over their life.  That happens.  Cause your sooo miserable, it numbs you.

You have to survive and grow up sometime. I think they have.

First of all
1) Hanoi Rocks are extremely popualr in Japan, contary too what many people are saying
2) Hanoi rocks nevermade it really big (outside of Japan) as so to call MM "washed up" just becasue Hanoi Rocks dont play areans is utter crap - go listen to the "Twelve shots on the rocks" album or the single "A day late a dollar short"
3) I cant see any reason why this story aint true. In fact it sounds very much like something Axl would do - he already barred ex bandmembers from gigs - cant see why its cant be ex friends also.
4)There wouldnt have been a Gn'R if it haddnt of been for Hanoi Rocks - Axls qouted as saying that himself. They influenced Gn'R and pretty much the whole glam/ hard rock scene of the 80's. Go look at pictures of Axl and especially Izzy in the 80's - copying Michael Monroes and Andy McCoys look - theres quotes from the band memebers saying Izzy would try and look and act like Hanoi and dress the band up like them - so give them some respect!

[Death Cube K]

He's either way full of errors.

Axl said "Tokyo", but corrected himself and had some fun with it, even at shows later on. No big deal.

To even characterize Buckethead as mediocre proves you dont really know what you're talking about.

Seeing the new GNR as a band without feel depends on where you come from. Put a guy that's never seen GNR infront of the TV and let him watch the Columbus DVD with the new GNR and then let him watch Tokyo 92 with the old band.  I bet anyone 100 bucks that he will pick the new GNR as the band who rocks the most.

But if you've been in the scene...saw old GNR and got used to that, it's a lot harder, coz it's not the same people. If you get used to a top hat and suddenly see a KFC hat, you pick the first one.

Doesnt really matter what he says, he doesnt have a clue.

[Methanol]

I think GNR fans (especially Axl fans) read all interviews like "the devil reads the bible" way, over analysing everything, trying to find hidden meanings of things what was said etc. Let's face the reality: Guns N Roses is a band where everything is supposed to be happen somewhere in the blurry future while with bands like Hanoi Rocks things are happening right here, right now.

As for Michael's comments of Buckethead... I think he's damn right. Buckethead is (or was, isn't he rumored to have left the band?) a technically good fretboard wanker but nothing more.

The Columbus DVD vs. Tokyo 92 comparison is interesting in the light of which lineup wrote the songs? hehe

That's not the point. The point was charisma and being able to do a cool show onstage.

[John Daniels]

you say that..I think you don't get it..Monroe toured with GNR back in the days being as a guest-member of GNR. he did see what went on with the guys etc.

but yeah..let's say that you have a clue and your posts is  what accounts and Mike's doesn't and he don't get the picture..duh  ....satisfied??

[kupirock]

Haha what an ego Monroe has, as if half the crowd would even know who the fuck he was!

Yeah   fuck him

[axe]

Can we even be sure that Monroe was talking about Buckethead when he said the thing about a mediocre guitarist? He didn't mention a name and the guy who wrote the piece had added [Buckethead] in there. Maybe he was talking about Finck?
