Hi Michael!! Im a great fan of u and Im very very sad about the devasting new about Jude. I know you must feel broken but, just remember the love , friendship and companion that u had with Jude, because she will stay alive in your heart forever and every song that you'll make will be part of her too. Just try to go on with your life and let the music play!!. Since some months Ive been keepping contact via e-mail with Juha Palotie and Markku Pekkonen, so I would like to receive someday an e-mail from u or simply see u soon here in Barcelona, I'd love to know u personally.

Hi all. Wondering how are our boys, Mike and Andy? I know Mike´s in good shape and straight but how about Mr. Hulkko? I know Andy can handle his instrument and himself after long time boozing but there´s a limit for that also. Anyone seen them lately in Helsinki or Turku? Any rumours? Hope the gig will be amazing. Unfortunately I´m not able to see them.

Hi everybody! I should have written this a long time ago but better late than never...right? Ihan ensin kiitos Michaelille upeasta Ruisrock-keikasta!! Olet paras! I also wanna thank all those great people who looked after me and all the others right in front of the stage as it was pretty crowded there. Hope nobody got hurt. Erityisesti kiitos sulle vaaleahiuksinen poika, joka jutskasit mun kanssa keikan alkua odotellessa. Keikan aikana huolehdit, että mä pysyin pystyssä tungoksessa.. Anyways, I'll see you all in Ankkarock! :) Love & light!

Much respect to those of you who have a hard time with Mr. Andy McCoy. But, Andy McCoy is the answer to all Rock-N-Roll. He does not have to poise in order to look cool. He knows exactly what to wear and everywhere you look there is a Andy McCoy want-a-be who will never be. Although my hats do not look as good on me as yours do on you Mr. McCoy, my hats off to you anyway sir!!! Mr. McCoy will live forever for those of you who love him and will haunt those of you who do not. Without him, you would be listening to clean, perfect, in-tune music that only average people listen to. So, "LOVE IT"!

Henkilökohtaisesti kunnioitan Andya muusikkona suuresti, niin säveltäjänä kuin kitaristinakin. Jos teistä Andy oli todella iskussa Ruisrockissa niin ihmettelen suuresti. Tämä nyt tietysti oli vain yksi keikka ja ei tämä ollut ensimmäinen kerta kuin Andy arvioi kemikaalien sietokykynsä väärin ennen showtimea mutta silti... Keskiverto Hanoi-fanille keikka oli unelmien täyttymys jo siinä vaiheessa kuin ensimmäistäkään nuottia oli soitettu ja itse myönnän kuuluvani siihen ryhmään. Mutta keikka olisi voinut olla niin paljon parempi jos Andy olisi ollut todella iskussa. Olen ollut noin 10 - 15 Andyn keikalla ja vain kerran olen nähnyt Andyn yhtä eksyksissä kuin nyt. Anyway... Koska tämä on MichaelMonroe.com jätän omalta osaltani asian tähän. Nähdään Ankkarockissa. Maili osoite on tuossa vieressä jos joku haluaa jatkaa keskustelua. HANOI ROCKS RULES AND MICHAEL MONROE ROCKS LIKE FUCK!

Hohoijaa..Ikuisuusaihe mutta silti. Siis, vaikka Andyn kitarat olisivat olleet viritetty vaikka kuinka päin helvettiä, niin kyllähän kuka tahansa vähän musiikista tajuava kuulee, tajuaa ja huomaa milloin joku soittaa täysin mitä sattuu, ja herra McCoy kyllä veti ihan hirveätä skeidaa. Mistä muuten joku oli kuullut siitä Andyn kitarateknikon katkenneesta kädestä?Minua suuresti ihmetyttää se miten edes sitä tuuraamaan on voitu ottaa tyyppi joka ei osaa kitaraa perkele virittää!!!!???!!!Siis pitää olla joku täysin kitaransoitosta tietämätön jos ei keppiä vireeseen saa. Ja olisihan Andy, niin kornia ja ehkä amatöörimaistakin kuin se ns.isolla festarikeikalla saattaa ollakin, virittää kylmästi kitaran biisien välissä. Se vähän laskee fiilistä jos kesken keikan kitaran virittää, mutta kyllä se paremmalta kuullostaa. Andy yritti yhdessä vaiheessa kyllä kepin vireeseen saada, mutta ei edes siinä onnistunut kunnolla...

If Andy McCoy is the answer, it must be a hell of a stupid question... the crowd nowdays only comes to the shows to see if this famous "moviestar" and living wreck still can handle the guitar and remember his own songs. In his own opinion he is the only virtuoso in Finland since Albert Järvinen. But hats off for these guys anyway!

Ettekö te Andyn morkkaajat saa millään jakeluunne sitä, että jos vehkeet on viritetty päin helvettiä, niin ei niillä saa soitettua nuotilleen??? Andyn kitarateknikkohan loukkaantui, ja Andy kärsi siitä todenteolla. Olen nähnyt Andyn livenä monta kertaa, ja hän ei ollut mitenkään poikkeuksellisen poissa lestistä!!! Kai te olette jotakin Makkos-faneja, mut unohdatte kokonaan sen positiivisen ajattelutavan ja ystävyyden ajatuksen, jota Makkonen yrittää viestittää... helvettiäkö sitten seuraatte Andyä, jos ei miellytä... toivottavasti ette tee turhaa matkaa Ankkarockiin vaan jäätte kotiin!!!

Siis voi taivas ja perse että jotku jaksaa kehua Andya ja sen "kitaransoittoa" Ruisrockissa. Makke oli kyllä tosi hyvässä vedossa mutta Andy... Avuttomampaa soittoa en oo kuullu edes saatana lastentarhassa. Olin ite paikalla ja huomasin miten jengi häipy kesken keikan kun ei pystyny punastumatta enää kuunteleen.

For you Peketsi. Andy had a great band called Shooting Gallery after Hanoi Rocks!!! They supported Kiss in USA and made great album... but it was sad that they never really made it because some kind of problems inside the band... And I still think Andys solo albums are great stuff (maybe not the soundtrack really...). Building on tradition is the greatest album he has ever made!!! Of course the reunion of Briard was terrible mistake... and I also think He has lost his control in last couple of years... AFTER ALL LETS FUCKIN' ROCK IN ANKKAROCK!!!

Ruisrock -keikka oli helvetin kova! Ehdottomasti paras keikka vuosikausiin. Ihmetyttää kaikki valitukset täällä, ei kai tuosta voi enää paljon paremmaksi pistää. Biisivalinnat meni ihan nappiin ja Mickey Crane varmisti Andyn selustan oivallisesti. Itse olen kiitollinen siitä, että näin originaali-Hanoin vuonna -83 keikalla Kalannin urheilutalolla, mutta kyllä Ruisrokkikin oli jotain todella mahtavaa.

Cuntfaces is the most promising new band for a long time. Influences ranging from Take That to Backstreet Boys. The result is intense album that rocks like good’un. Line-up is: Céline-vocals, Deadwish-guitars, Peketsi-drums and Kari-Bass. They went to the crossroads of commercial rock’n’roll and sold their souls for that one hit and 15 minutes of fame. The result is their debut single ”I’ll beat your log untill it’s numb”. Wait and see, before you know you will be singing along ”such a boring saturday, Let’s go home and masturbate”. Their debut album ”Blow job to Geoge W. Bush” will be released before the autumn comes.

Reason why we haven’t been hearing from OZZI THE ROSE* is that he has been lately involved in the MTV3 ostosTV, where he is advertising the brilliant new product called AROMIPESÄ (OZZI = Mikko), with AROMIPESÄ you can save huge amounts of energy and time in the foodmaking process. Those who thought that Andy played some solos in the wrong key in Ruisrock; Andy has been listening a lot of jazz and oriental music lately and he boldly experimened with some exotic scales for the solos.

Here are some great ideas: Ozzy the Rose –internetpage (Markku, just a hint), -messageboard and merchandise… even better, how about Ozzy the Rose debut album ”I want some Ozzy” and book ”as Ozzy as I wanna be”.. Oh, I can smell the money allready.

Sorry for your loss Nina but I didn't mention anything about bringing Jude back. Some people here may want to know what happened. There's nothing wrong with knowing. I've also lost friends/loved ones. I doubt there's anyone here who hasn't. I don't believe there's anything disrespectful in knowing the truth. Knowing the truth is better than believing rumours and lies.

Please, dear fellow human beings, don't go there. Don't start the painful why -talk if you can avoid it. I have recently lost two very close friends and I don't find any comfort in knowing what the causes were. There is nothing that will bring the loved one back and ultimately, I don't think there are any reasons. It is always unfair and always too soon.

Naah, fuck you Pete! Andy hasn't really been anything after Hanoi Rocks, and especially in last 5 years. He has made only couple new albums, and the songs are not anything more than mediocre. His gigs... well, if you can call plying for 25 Finnish drunks a gig... Michael can still sell out a place, and the atmosphere in his shows is something completely different than what it has been in Andy's. Maybe Andy wrote most of Hanoi's hits - or maybe he just got the credits when they really belonged to Mike - but after Hanoi Mike has made many songs that I like better than any Hanoi song, and once again, what has Andy done after Hanoi? River of Dreams and Strung Out are probably the only decent songs... I like Andy, and he absolutely still has the talent and skill. When you're doing a concert like Ruisrock was. It is really important to show that you still have the skill and your show is good. Getting on the stage completely trashed is not the right thing to do. I know these guys can still be just as good as Hanoi was back in the day, but it requires two sober guys, doing their best. It's certainly fun to see Andy drunk on the stage telling his jokes, but it won't work on the long run or longer tours (or studio). All the best for you both, I hope you'll rock Ankkarock!

You just dont understand that Andy is a real genious with his guitar!!! All the great hanoi songs are made by him... and Im sure nobody is angel... I dont believe that Andy was the only one who had drank something... But LETS FUCKIN' ROCK AGAIN IN ANKKAROCK ANDY and MIKE!!!

Hi there Michael,hope you`re copeing okay. I just had to sign this guestbook and say what a brilliant performance you gave at Ruisrock. I was totally blown away by the show. I came over to Turku from England with my girlfriend for a long weekend espessially to see the festival,& had such a great time. It was a dream come true to see you & Andy playing those Hanoi songs. If you ever get to read this i`d just like you to know that yourself & Mr Andy McCoy made this Hanoi fan very,very happy.:-) All the best to you, love & light, from Andy

People, I have read quite a lot of criticism towards Andy's performance last weekend. Mostly about Andy being out of tune often. I heard a thing today, which obviously played a huge part in that: Andy's usual guitar tech injured his hand and was replaced by someone who didn't quite get the job done.

To Janne, about Andy's erratics, they had a problem with Andy's Guitar roudie who was attacked by some lunatics during HIM on Saturday and hurt his hand so badly that he could not tune guitars, and the replacement could not do his work at all.

I just want to thank for the great show in Ruisrock and especially because of that miraculous feeling I had when Michael gave me his autograph after the gig. My condolences to Your sorrow. I never understood any personality cults. Maybe that's because I never believed in Father Christmas. My best friend and only true love - as long as seventeen years old person can say so - has been some sort of fan of Mike&Andy and Hanoi Rocks' music for some time now. In my opinion her muffs and stuff where gute but also bit childish. For me Andy McCoy was that weird oddity who got his new legos and I was jealos to Mike Monroe because he seems to be able to do splits anytime and anywhere. I wish I were as nimble and energetic as he is! Still I found they were just few freaks from 80's - interesting persons but nothing special to me. Ruisrock was the first time I really listend Hanoi Rocks' music and I was surpriced. I kind of understood that I hadn't understood anything if you can see what I mean. It felt weird and very special. By accident I happend to hang in the vicinity when Mike gave his autografs after the gig to some fans who had been waiting it for a hour or something out side of the backstage. I shouted me friend to give me some piece of paper - any piece of paper - and some kind food hutch guys gave us a paper plate. I told Mike about my friend who went to see his gig eventough she was sick and ofcourse he consented to write his name one more time. I spoke some Finnish, he spoke some English. Mike was beautiful. Mike was charismatic. At the moment Mike was all. Ofcourse it was partly because of my fever, fatique and stress but for a moment I knew what it was to be a fan. I was about to cry. Jude's death, Ruzzle's death, my grandmother's death; mortality. That night I found myself wandering exhausted in Ruissalo national park, singing lullabys in Ruissalo Camping's shower bath and after all sleeping in Turku railway station. All the time I clasped to my breast that paper plate where Mike had wrote "Life on a plate" and I felt it was guarding me like the Virgin Mary icon. Well, that was a long story for guest book, but I wanted to share it with all you silly people who read this and especially with mr. Michael Monroe, I hope You'll read this some day. (Sorry for my English.) I think I won't ever get in Hanoi Rocks' world - maybe I should have been born ten years earlier - but that what I told about was a beautiful experience to me. Kiitokset myös sinulle Kathleen, kun opastit meitä Turussa siinä sivussa, kun toimit Anjan houstina. Mikä sääli, että lähditte niin aikaisin silloin sunnuntaina, teidänhän se Miken nimmari ehdottomasti olisi tietysti pitänyt saada, eikä minun. Annan sen paperilautasen tosin Anjalle heti kunhan mimmi pääsee sairaalasta, mutta eihän se sama tietenkään ole.

Firstly a big thank you to Mike & Andy for making the Hanoi revisited concert probably the best moment of my life. Having been a huge fan since 13,(now 30) it was an opportunity I couldn't miss. I paid a bloody fortune to take myself and the wife (not a fan as such)from cloudy, rainy Leicester, England to see the show. The fact we had five days in total there, with non-stop sunshine was a bonus. Thanks also to Sarah Rock for sending me the ticket without whom I wouldn't have managed to go, and also Parikka Venla at Lippupalvelu ticket service. The show really was fantastic with my all time favourite Until I get you, which was played at my wedding being the highlight. In fact the set list couldn't have been better, although I missed Beer & a Cigarette and Taxi Driver. Personally I thought Andy was fantastic, even the Mrs said he was really good. They are both such strong characters and they both looked the business. I took quite a few photos which I'll be putting on my web page later this month, so I'll let you know about it then. Did anyone tape or video the show? drop me a line if you did, I'd love to hear/see it all over again, God bless you Mike & Andy. P.S: Kari your heart is in the right place, that is all that matters. Don't worry what anyone else thinks.

Mike sano sille Andylle et skarppaa vähän Ankkarockiin, mä tiedän et se on vieläkin helvetin hyvä kitaristi, kun vaan pysyis vähän selvempänä! Hieno setti oli muuten, just sellaset biisit kun odotinkin!!!!!! PS. Bändi rokkas helvetin hyvin!

I have to agree with most of people over here. Andy should really do something for himself. Mike and rest of the band were really good even it must have been diffcult to play when "somebody" is playing "different song" than the rest of the band. And something more ... Most of you were sure already left when Andy decided to join on stage during Bomfunk Mc:s did their stuff .... and he was REALLY bad shape then ))))

Michael I travelled 400miles to Turku just to see you guys perform together again and my God what mixed feelings I have at the moment.I´d heard from numerous sources that Andy wouldn´t no longer be in that good shape but his performance the other day really floored all my former notions of a guitar legend. His playing was totally erratic and clumsy which really shocked me ´cos I´ve seen him playing some killer stuff for instance as Iggy´s tour guitarist. On the other hand I think that all this hustle could have been avoided....hadn´t Andy only showed up so boozed-up on stage. Michael watch your back ´cos that guy seems not to have changed that much over the years and please don´t let anyone to take your career down the pin-liner ´cos no matter Andy or anyone else you still rocked like fuck and showed some good respect as a performing artist toward your payig fans!!!Cheers and see ya in Ankkarock later on.

Missä vaiheessa soitettiin Lost in the city (jos aamuista soundcheckiä ei lasketa)??? Lisäksi Up around the bend ei todellakaan ollut "viimeinen encore".

Ruisrockista hieman... satuin aamulla kuulemaan Andyn ja Miken soundcheckin ja se kuulosti helvetin hyvältä. Tämä tietysti nostatti odotuksia entisestään joten itse keikka oli välillä vaikeaa katsottavaa. Keikan taso vaihteli kuin vuoristorata. Kolme viimeistä Andyn keikkaa (mitä minä olen ollut todistamassa) on ollut loistavia joten en voi käsittää mikä nyt mätti... kitarat epävireessä ja soitto takelteli muutenkin. Mike oli loistava siitä ei pääse mihinkään, mutta Andy... onko liikaa vaadittu olla puolitoista tuntia edes suht' selvin päin? Anyway... se toinen keikka on silti nähtävä.

- Monday, July 09, 2001 at 18:18:45 (EET DST)
Ruisrock. Helvetti,keikka oli kamalaa katsottavaa ja kuunneltavaa. En pystynyt yksinkertaisesti katsomaan loppuun.Mikehän veti hyvin niinkuin aina, ja bändi soitti myös tiukasti(tosin toinen kitara ei kuulunut yhtään) mutta Andy oli jotain niin uskomattoman säälittävää. En ymmärrä miten helvetissä se äijä voi olla niin huonossa kunnossa. Andyn kitaratkin olivat jatkuvasti ihan epävireessä(liekö sitten roudareiden vain itse herra McCoyn syytä..)Soolot olivat mitä sattuu ja usein vielä väärästä sävellajista....ja ne välispiikit. Älkää ymmärtäkö väärin, diggaan helvetisti Hanoita ja Mikeä, mutta Ruisrockin veto jätti suuhun pahan maun ja ei ainkaan nosta Miken&Andyn arvostusta, yleisö lähinnä naureskeli, sääli sinänsä koska Mike hoitaa hommansa vielä erinomaisesti. Liekö odotukseni olivat sitten liian korkealla, en tiedä. Kovimman keikan Ruisrockissa veti Backyard Babies...Hanoikin varmaan kuulosti 15 vuotta sitten yhtä tiukalta ja nälkäiseltä kuin ´Babies nyt. Hanoi revisited ei kuitenkaan en siihen mitenkään pysty....

Hi ya all! I suppose I could do this in Finnish but since there seem to be so many fans who communicate in English, I will do it in English. (Nihon no fan, sumimasen. Nihongo mo sukoshi hanasu koto ga dekite, shikashi kore monogatari eigo de kakimashou. Nihongo muzukashii desu neh.) I am not actually, what could be called, Michael Monroe-fan. But - after Ruisrock, maybe to some extent. I genuinely admire the energy and charisma he has. So that is why this report from Ruisrock might not satisfy the hardcore fans. I was also delighted to find through this website a link to Little Steven who is my alltime favourite from -83, and a big inspiration in my way of thinking about human rights, and in general about the principle being nice to people. Further education I have received from my Japanese friends. Anyway, about Ruisrock, the news about Hanoi Revisited inspired me to go for the first time in my life, to a Finnish rock festival. I didn't know why I am so obsessed to see Michael Monroe live, particularly when I don't have any of his records. But I thought the fascination is about his energy... later I found out that is more than that. There were some other interesting bands as well, but it was only Hanoi Revisited that got me near the stage. I have devoted my life to educating and training musicians and young people about loud music and its effects to hearing, so I rarely go near the stage. But don't get me wrong, I love music, music is not noise, but it can still be harmful to your hearing if played loud. I don't seem to keep my thinking together, where was I...? Oh yes, we camped about 5 meters from stage half an hour before the gig, and croud was already there. And people kept coming...The gig was late a bit, but once it started, it really started! Unfortunately I cannot tell about the songs, I knew maybe four, half of them I don't know the names either. But the energy was there. The personnel at the stage had a busy day, since Michael is so alive, and the cord is not keeping up with him. Sometimes, you could just hear his voice, but we could not see him, he was in front off the stage, sometimes he was climbing to loudspeaker towers (which although I know he has tremendeous physics, seemed pretty hazardous, and I for one couldn't breathe until he was safely down). He was all over the place. He played all kinds of instruments. I have now browsed a bit this website, so I better not go to his private life, but we all must now the situation, and I was so impressed how professionally he could perform. I cannot even to begin to imagine the pain he has inside, and yet, he has so much to give to audience. There were encores, the gig was quite long, but still seemed short. The croud wanted more and though we got it, seemed as if nothing would be enough. The band played awesome, Andy McCoy of course, he is a personality too, and guitar and bass players were mostly at the backgound, but made excellent contribution, and the drummer had interesting choreographies, like twirling his drumsticks. All in all, it made me realise why I went there: I love every kind of music, but what is close to my heart is rock music. Rock is what is all about. There are not many excellent live performers, Michael Monroe is no doubt one of them. He has the core of rock roll. This is the first time that I have been so overwhelmed by pure performance. I might still go on with my life without buying the records, but if I get a chance, I will definately go to his concert. It is easy to get people going, who are fans, they have good thing going before the concert, but to get other going as well, it is not an easy task. I have been watching the guitarist semigod Tomoyasu Hotei getting himself to European market. He is very talented, and has the effect making fans from out of nothing, but still, the athmosphere is so different in here and in Japan. It is not an easy task to do...I guess this is what I wanted to say, it was an experience, fantastic journey of rock, and I thank you everyone involved, especially Michael Monroe. And if you see this, I know it is just words, but I sincerely express my condolences. With lots of love, Heli PS. As being thirty myself, it started bugging me when people said about Dingo and Hanoi revisited: "Vielä vanhakin jaksaa"(they still keep going though so old). I mean come on, who is old here? All in all, age is not important, but saying this from the above bands is ridiculous. Besides, many people get better with age. I am more fascinated by life experience and maturity than face without any wrinkles... PSPS. Michael Monroe talked about being yourself, and not care about thinking what others might say. I hope the quotation is about right. It is important message, and eventhough some might say that it is a cliche, but it is not. Music- and rock is not just about music, it is about life. When I was young I was desperately trying to be accepted, so the individuality went out of the door. Now I am reliving the youth I missed (it was fun, but I hated not being able to wear what I want and say what I want), and in doing so, stronly recommend to de what heart says, and not the people standing next to you. Friends are friends whatever you are. But, of course, respecting other people.And therefore, since I am not exactly on my territory, I hope I have not affended anyone by my comments. But- this is what I honestly think. This is me.

Silver & every one else,. Let's be adult about this The message wasn't for you alone. I am a Christian and a good one. Like I said I have been very verbally abused on this guest book from many people not just you and I fighting back and forth like little children. I'm mean no Christians don't usual swear. But how much can one person take. How much can you. I'm usual very humble and loyal to God. All I set out doing in the first place is try my hardest threw God word And my own to try to cheer him up. I figured if he herd enough of it. He might start too. I don't know. I think about death in a very different way then any one else. I think of it but nothing more than going to heaven and being joyful and peace full. Are bodies dies but we all have sprits inside and we all live on in heaven. If we are bad enough and not deserving to go we go to hell. I know Jude is in heaven she was Good. And I was trying to have Michael realize this. And Maybe just maybe. He might start to heal. I'm a kind and gentle person if you read my other messages you would see this. But i'm not going to just sit here and take the abuse. I was wrong to use cus words. But it was my only offense. Every one don't like what I have to say about Jesus. So I used words you might understand. Nothing is working. I'm sorry the way I have been acting. I would just like to end now. I have nothing else to say expect. I'm not going to go away. I love Michael to much for that. I hope you all can find it in you heart to forgive me. Have a great show tonight? Kari

You're showing your true colours now. Call yourself a christian? Christians don't use foul language or had you forgotten? I have more spirituality in my big toe!

Okay, I have to say that I am a little taken aback at all of this immature and completely self-centered rude nonsense in the guestbook below my entry. Although I am a little behind on the news, I just wanted to express my condolensces to Michael for the great loss that he has suffered. I thought maybe everyone here wanted to do the same but apparently some are more interested in attending to their own ideas and wishes rather than showing some respect for Michael during this trying time for him. Anyway, Michael, all of my thoughts are with you now during this difficult time. I hope that you pull through this tragedy to come out even stronger and more at peace with life. Both you and Jude are in my thoughts as always, and your music lives forever in my soul. Fare well for now...
