I have been up all night on a HANOI ROCKS marathon. I listened to all the cds they ever made - NOT INCULDING LIVE, BOOTLEGS AND GREATIST HITS. Here is my question:

Of all the cds they have, what do you think is the best one they made? (These are just opinions and there are no WRONG answers)

My choice is TWO STEPS FROM THE MOVE. Every song on that one is SOLID. It rocks!

I think of them all I like "All Those Wasted Years" best (live album) got most of my favourites on!
Studio-wise, I think "Oriental Beat" is one of the best.
Though to be honest I really rate the latest one "12 Shots..." Although I think I'm in the minority on that one [img]smile.gif[/img]

Mystery City
Self Destruction
Two Steps
Bangkok Shocks
Oriental Beat

And since those are the only Hanoi albums, that is the order. The new Mike disc that Andy guests on is pretty cool, but I still prefer the Hanoi stuff.

Carl, you forgot Lean On Me. One of my favs, Life's Been Hard, is on that one.
July 29th, 2003, 01:12 AM
Carl I.

Yeah, but that is basically a "Best Of..." with the demos. The demos then turned up as Rene Bergs solo album and Andy's stuff. But O.K., put that at the bottom.

There is also "Tracks From A Broken Dream" if you want to be picky and that can go under "Lean On Me".

if we are gonna be picky, Self Destruction Blues is just a collection of demos and b-sides as well.
"Includes b-sides of singles, demo recordings and ep-tracks. Gyp Casino on drums although Razzle appears on the album cover."

Carl, you forgot 12 Shots on the Rocks. [img]wink.gif[/img] I liked that one. There's an awesome review for it up on glitzine, btw. lol

Read my post again Lycan. Hanoi hasn't released a true album since "Two Steps". Monroe released TWO solo albums last year, one of which Andy guests on, but obviously had very little to do with. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

<font size="3" face="Arial">*dances through board and annihilates Carl with a chair to the head* Ahem, Michael Monroe released a solo cd this year. Hanoi Rocks released a new cd last year. I know they did....I reviewed it and the monkey girl loved my review. lol *hits him with another chair shot, just to be safe* lmao

btw, what's up Johnny Glam?? Haven't seen ya' around for awhile.

No Lycan, you reviewed a Mike Monroe album using the Hanoi Rocks name.

oh yeah, i'm going with back to mystery city followed closely by self destruction blues

I could put a sign on a piece of shit that says "Lycan Davis", but I am pretty sure it wouldn't really be you. They are Hanoi in name only, in the future, if Andy actually chooses to play on the next one, they may actually be Hanoi. But that this is Monroe.
