#hanoirocks #michaelmonroe #finland

Hanoi Rocks frontman Mike Monroe was born as Matti Antero Kristian Fagerholm in 1962 in Finland. His father was a famous radio and TV personality. Monroe would reveal in his autobiography thatsHis real first exposure to rock n’ roll was seeing Black Sabbath perform a show in paris on TV and that memory would stay with him for the rest of his life. Also influencing monroe at a young age was the first wo concerts he ever went to as a kid which was the band slade and sweet. And in 1976 Monroe would play in a band called Madness and he just happened to share the same rehearsal space and drummer with guitarist Andy Mccoy Who played in a punk rock band named Briard. It was there that the two met and started talking and started hit it off and Monroe at one point almost joined Mccoy’s band, but was told he had to cut his hair. While Monroe was against cutting his hair, the seeds of Hanoi Rocks were being carefully planted as he would tell Louder Sound “the punk thing was great, but you can join our punk band if you cut your hair. What? To be in punk fashion. Im not going to be a slave to fashion he’d remember so i said no and me and andy talked about putting a real band together the way we thought a cool rock band should be and that’s how Hanoi started.After skipping the army I wasn’t going to cut my hair just to be in a band he’d say

Monroe eventually left home and moved to Stockholm, Sweden and started another punk band called Nymphomaniac. The band would quickly fell apart and Michael moved back to Helsinki. By the summer of 1979 monroe was back again in Sweden and would meet future hanoi rocks rhythm guitarist Nasty Sicide through Andy McCoy. Andy was in a new band at the time named Pelle (pellay) Miljoona but was still interested in forming a band with monroe. Riding the bus one day Andy suggested the band name "Chinese Rocks" named after the Johnny Thunders song and then "Hanoi Rocks" and well the rest was history.

And Hanoi Rocks would be formed in 1979, but funny enough Mccoy wasn’t in the first incarnation of the group because he was still playing in his other band. But Mccoy did have an understanding with Monroe that he would eventually join Hanoi Rocks. The only members of the classic lineup who were in the first incarnation of the band were mike monroe and nasty sicide. The band soon hit the Finnish club circuit playing a mix of Cheap Trick, MC5 and The Police covers along with songs Monroe and Mccoy had written. At one of the band’s early shows a fellow named Seppo who was responsible for bringing iggy pop and the stooges to finland was in attendance and showed an interest in managing the band. We’ll talk a little more about him later.

When Mccoy was ready to join the group they would relocate to Sweden and have drummer gyp casino and bassist Sami Yaffa joining the band. This is where things got difficult for the band. Most of the members were literally living in the street as Monroe would tell loudersound

When we started Hanoi Rocks we were homeless. I had a few hundred Finnish marks, not much, when I left home and ended up in Stockholm. So me, Sami Yaffa and Nasty Suicide were living on the streets for the first six months, begging for change. We’d beg enough to get a hamburger to share, or a bottle of wine to forget about the hunger. We befriended other homeless people. We’d sometimes go to a bar and I’d chat up some girl, and when she’d invite me to her house, I’d say: “Do you mind if my friends come along?” Then when we got to the house we’d head straight for the fridge. He would go on to reveal that
Andy would live with his girlfriend during the time and Gyp had an apartment during their time in Sweden. It was life on the streets that would eventually shape the group’s attitude, image and sound. And According to Monroe, Sweden was merely a stopover for the band whose final destination was London, England because as he saw it that’s where the centre of the music scene seemed to be at the time. He would go on to reveal to Loudersound that the band got no love from their home county saying

Later that same year the band headed into the studio to record their debut record titled Bangkok Shocks, Saigon Shakes, Hanoi Rocks. Originally released only in the Scanadanvian countries, the album became a top 5 hit in their Finland

Drink Champs (N.O.R.E. & DJ EFN) on Joe Budden & Pusha T's Pharrell-Drake rant | Fat Jo Hotney 11 Streams • 1 year ago

The hip hop podcast crossover we've all been waiting for: N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN, the co-hosts of Drink Champs, join Fat Joe and Jadakiss for a legendary episode of Joe and Jada. They discuss the evolution of podcasting in hip hop culture, DMX's memorable Drink Champs episode, N.O.R.E. saying that Joe Budden, Million Dollaz Worth of Game, and Drink Champs are the only three rap podcasts that matter, their spinoff projects Run Champs and Smoke Champs, and Pusha T calling up N.O.R.E. to rant about Pharrell's answer to a question about him and Drake. The episode predictably goes off the rails with hilarious stories about N.O.R.E. saving Joe's life in Germany, Jadakiss getting pressed by TSA, Joe discovering a young Pitbull in Miami, and N.O.R.E.'s early adoption of reggaeton with Daddy Yankee.

Within Temptation - Ritual (Music Video) Hotney 9 Streams • 3 years ago

'Ritual' is our newest single from our album 'Bleed Out' - out now! Listen & order it right here: http://wt.lnk.to/bleedout_all

The delectable Ritual is one of the kinkiest songs we have ever written and is fully inspired by From Dusk Till Dawn. An iconic movie by Quentin Tarantino about a seemingly normal road trip, turning into a vampire slayer party. “It’s a fun track about seduction,” Sharon explains. “It’s about the lady taking power in a male dominated world and taking her own initiative.”

Bleed Out - the album, signifies a bold leap forward for us. From contemporary, hard-hitting djenty riffs to soaring melodies displaying their symphonic roots, we have created a sonic journey that fuses diverse musical styles and thought-provoking themes. This is an album that is as epic as it is unflinchingly outspoken.

Reflecting the tumultuous state of the world, for our new albu we have drawn inspiration from events such as the murder of Mahsa Amini in Iran and the war in Ukraine. But that isn’t to say that there’s no light to the heavy shade on Bleed Out. Here's 'Ritual'.

Lyrics:
I’ll make you line up cause I’m imperial
Shapeshifting into what I want and now I own you all
But I already know, I can’t let you go, love my ritual
Cause I already know, I can’t let you go, you’re my ritual
My ritual playground

Oeh, I got the spark to light your fire
You’re going down for milk and honey
With every touch I embody your desire
You’re going , you’re going down with my ritual

You’re going down with my ritual

I’ll make you rise up, into my midnight oil, drink, drink
Wet martini from my paper cup
Going down the rabbit hole

But I already know
I can’t let you go
Love my ritual My ritual

Cause I already know,
I can’t let you go
You’re my ritual, my ritual playground

Oeh, I got the spark to light your fire
You’re going down for milk and honey
With every touch I’ll embody your desire
You’re going, you’re going down with my ritual

You’re going down with my ritual

Your equality, your vanity, your relevancy, sexuality and venomous perversity
venomous perversity

Oh, I got the spark to light your fire
You’re going down for milk and honey
With every touch I embody your desire
You’re going, you’re going down with my ritual

You’re going down with my ritual
You’re going down with my ritual

Lyrics:

When I need space that’s where I go
A place to escape that nobody knows
Where I feel free to let things go
And face this evil that burdens my soul
I bring my hatred, I pack my pain
All the emotions I cannot explain
It’s where I found God
And filled that whole
It’s he, myself and I
On that lonely dirt road

I needed somewhere to take my mistakes
I didn’t want my family to see me cry
They’ll never know I’m
carrying all of this weight
Dealing with the pressure
of trying to provide
No sign of struggle can show on my face
They ask if I’m OK I just flash them a smile
Fire up that engine to take me away
I’m speeding through emotions with every mile
On that road is where I find my peace
I remember daddy told me about some times like these
On that road is where my minds at ease
I keep driving life away, rejecting change so

When I need space that’s where I go
A place to escape that nobody knows
Where I feel free to let things go
And face this evil that burdens my soul
I bring my hatred, I pack my pain
All the emotions I cannot explain
It’s where I found God
And filled that whole
It’s he, myself and I
On that lonely dirt road

I tried my best to plant the seeds
And then I watered everything that was in my life
But as a man, the only flowers that you get
Are when you’re 6 feet under on the day you die
I think I feel the pain my father felt
It’s finally sinking in
looking back all I see is his eyes
He said that house is not a home
Unless you build it on respect
with some kids and a loving wife
If these walls could talk
I bet they’d say it’s all my fault
That I don’t try hard
That I ain’t man enough
That I ain’t standing up
That I just burn everything
that my hands touch
If these walls could talk
I bet they’d say I’m to blame
That I’m the one who put myself inside of all of these chains
That my addictive personalities what ran them away
And that I hurt myself by staying quiet
And not explaining I’m broken
In places, I can’t even see
I know there’s gotta be a heaven
Because the hell that’s in me
Is taking a dangerous toll
That I’m paying with all of my soul

When I need space that’s where I go
A place to escape that nobody knows
Where I feel free to let things go
And face this evil that burdens my soul
I bring my hatred I pack my pain
All the emotions I cannot explain
It’s where I found God
And filled that whole
It’s he, myself and I
On that lonely dirt road
