Alice in Chains also often played Hanoi Rocks' "Taxi Driver" live in their early days.Other Finnish rock groups that were influenced by Hanoi Rocks include The 69 Eyes (with whom McCoy has also worked with) and Negative. Other bands like Manic Street Preachers, Murderdolls and the Foo Fighters have admitted being Hanoi Rocks fans. Hanoi Rocks' influence can be seen in various bands, including Guns N' Roses, and their glam look has been used by many bands, including Poison, L.A. On January 5, 1985, Hanoi Rocks was featured in almost every category in a poll cast by Sounds, including Best Album (5th), Best Band (2nd) and Best Live Act (3rd). Lthough Hanoi Rocks never achieved huge commercial success, they have a very big cult following and they have received critical acclaim for their musical style and energetic live performances. By 1980, Sirola was replaced by drummer Tumppi Varonen. The original line-up of Hanoi Rocks consisted of Michael Monroe on vocals, former Pelle Miljoona Oy guitarist Stefan Piesnack, Monroe's old friend guitarist Nasty Suicide, bassist Nedo Soininen and drummer Peki Sirola. McCoy let Monroe form the band without him, but they agreed that McCoy would join later. Although McCoy was the other forming member, he didn't join the band right away, because, at the time, he was the guitarist for the Finnish punk band Pelle Miljoona Oy. Hanoi Rocks was formed in Helsinki in 1979 by Michael Monroe (Matti Fagerholm) and his friend, guitarist Andy McCoy (Antti Hulkko). Although their album sales are strong, they are more widely known for their energetic live performances.

According to Finnish radio and TV personality Jone Nikula (who was also Hanoi Rocks' tour manager in the 2000s), Hanoi Rocks' albums have sold between 7,800,000 and 10,000,000 copies around the world, but mostly in Scandinavia and Japan. They were also one of the first rock bands to tour in Asia, and were the first western rock band to play in Delhi. In the 80s Hanoi Rocks was the most successful Finnish band internationally and are still popular in the United States, Japan, and England. Original members vocalist Michael Monroe and guitarist Andy McCoy came back together in 2001 and were active with the new line-up of Hanoi Rocks until 2009. The band broke up in 1985 after the death of their drummer, Nicholas "Razzle" Dingley. Hanoi Rocks was a Finnish rock band formed in 1979, whose most successful period came in the early 1980s. They get extra points, as well, for having one of the more entertainingly crude song titles around: "Lick Summer Love.Hanoi Rocks In their own way, they weren't so much pioneers as followers of a style that not many attempted at the time. More so, admittedly, when things suddenly kick into the brilliant rocker "Malibu Beach Nightmare." Other songs, like "Beating Gets Faster" and "Ice Cream Summer" (gratuitous misogyny aside), may be more Hanoi Rocks by-the-numbers, but it's a good enough pattern to follow. One thing's for sure: calling the first song "Strange Boys Play Weird Openings," and having it be a mock rustic folk song - with acoustic guitars, flutes, and chirping birds - is a great way to have fun.
Thus, the full-on glam stomp, mock- Burundi drums, and animal noises during the merry romp "Tooting Bec Wreck" (one of many Hanoi Rocks songs paying homage to home-away-from-home London), or the clearly obvious "Mony Mony" steal from the title track, with reverbed vocals working wonders.
The aura of '50s rave-up, '70s glam party, and '80s hard rock chaos that the band made their own sounds even better than before, but the production duo also made even more room for intriguing experiments within the songs themselves.

Whatever else they brought to the sessions, the duo makes Hanoi Rocks sound like a much more powerful band than before compared to Self Destruction Blues, the riffs are more explosive, the drumming pounding, and Michael Monroe is in full swing. Having so obviously worshipped at the altar of Mott the Hoople for much of their career, it's little surprise that for their fourth album Hanoi Rocks went straight to the source, getting both Dale Buffin Griffin and Pete "Overend" Watts to produce Back to Mystery City.
