Q: Mista/kenesta kertoo biisi Gotta get a hold. Sanoitus on vaan aika mielenkiintoinen.

M: Ihmisen menettämisen kanssa diilaamisesta. Kirjoitin sen Martin Briley nimisen säveltäjän kanssa, jonka isä oli silloin äskettäin kuollut. Itselläni oli sitä kirjoittaessa mielessä esim. Razzle ja Stiv Bator.

Q: Tuleeko Michaelilta elamankertaa? Tarinaa varmaan olis paljon!!!

M: Olisi tarinaa tosiaankin paljon ja koko ajan tulee lisää... Ehkäpä tässä joku päivä.

Q: Onko Mick Jagger paras laulaja,sun jalkeen?

M: Mun mielestä Jagger on ehdottomasti yks kaikkien aikojen parhaista.

Q: Relationshipwrecked,mika johti biisin syntyyn?

M: Nahina Demolition 23'n riveissä kun Nasty liittyi bändiin ja alkoi vaivihkaa käännyttämään muita jonkinlaiseen kapinointiin mua kohtaan...

Q: Miksi sun fanit on on niin fanaattisia?

M: Mun juttu on ehkä sen verran syvemmällä ja vahvalla pohjalla, että kun siihen herää, se on sen verran strongimpi juttu.

Comments: Kiitos Markku! Terv Tero

M: Kiitos Michael! Kiitos Tero.

From Aimee

Q: Michael, Are you planning to tour the U.S. soon? Aimee from OH.

M: Yes, but not soon yet.

Q: Michael, I've been listening to your music for over 10 yrs. now. You'll always be my favorite. I am curious to know- what ''new'' bands do you listen to? Aimee from OH.

M: My "newest" favorites have been "Warrior Soul" from N.Y.C. Nowadays disbanded. Singer Kory Clarke has a new band in L.A. called "Space Age Playboys". I liked what "Jane's Addiction" were doing. There's a great Swedish band I've just discovered called "Sator". They've got a pretty amazingly good new album called "Musical Differences". Check it out if you can. Then there's also The "Backyard Babies" and a Finnish band "Cool Sheiks", to name a few.

Q: Michael, I know that "luck" has never been on your side. Me either. So I put on some Hanoi Rocks and I know that someone else has been through it all and survived.You are the best. Thank you for never letting me feel alone. P\S You are still a beautiful, BEAUTIFUL boy! Love Always, Aimee from OH.

M: Thank you my dear. That's very sweet of you and it's good to hear.

Q: Michael, I remember my first Hanoi Rocks tape- I was 13 yrs. old. Now I am 27 and you are still my favorite. Please PLEASE tell me that there is some chance to see you perform live? I am hoping for a U.S. tour. Thank You, Aimee from OH.

M: Unfortunately I can't promise anything for sure right now but I'll definitely tour there before too long.

Q: Michael, I am a hugh fan. I have always wondered if Andy McCoy and you ever see each other? Would the two of you ever consider working together again? You Rock! Aimee from OH.

M: Hardly ever. But we have worked together on a few occasions after Hanoi but have drifted way too far apart to be able to work together again on steady basis.

Comments: Thank you for the chance to ask Michael a question. I hope one of mine are choosen. Thanks!

M: Thank You For Asking. Love, Michael.
