Heavy Metal Roots & Branches Post #10

Hanoi Rocks formed in Helsinki, Finland in 1979. Having formed before the early 1980's Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Explosion the band was accepted by Metal Heads everywhere in spite of their Glam image. The band cited influences as varied as Cheep Trick, The Police and The MC5 and their music showed it. Equal parts of Punk, Hard Rock and Pop were used to create the bands sound. Any Glam/Hair Metal band that followed, Motley Crue et al owe a great deal of debt to Hanoi Rocks when it comes to their image. The bands Glitter Glam was more influential than the Heroin Hooker Chic of The New York Dolls, although every Glam/Hair Band owes The Dolls just as well. After the Hair/Glam explosion Hanoi Rocks were never thrown in with "The Posers" by the "True Metal" fans.

Hanoi Rocks drummer Nicholas "Razzle" Dingley was killed in a drunk driving accident in Redondo Beach, California on December 8, 1984 at the age of 24. Motley Crue vocalist Vince Neil was driving when he lost control causing an accident which killed Razzle and seriously injured 2 others. Hanoi Rocks canceled all their tour dates except for two, January 3 and 4, 1985 Kulttuuritalo, Helsinki, Finland. These shows were broadcast live as "Europe A Go-Go". The shows were a Memorial To Razzle and the band would dedicate "Million Miles Away" to him each night. Former Clash drummer Terry Chimes filled in for Razzle and would be the bands drummer until their break up when Michael Monroe quit the group June 17, 1985.
