Why "Hanoi Rocks"
Why Hanoi Rocks ... At the time it would have been a busy place with poor sewerage, prone to floods and was known .. at the time .. to be a breeding pool of crazy communists... ( Did they want an invitation to visit Vietnam ?
Concerning founding members
Andy McCoy was not a founding member of Hanoi Rocks, although he masterminded the band. In fact, Hanoi Rocks was founded by Michael Monroe and Nasty Suicide in 1979. For a short period of time other members included Stefan Piesnack (guitar), Jesu Hämäläinen (bass), Nedo (drums) and Keimo Hirvonen (drums). In 1980 Andy McCoy & Sam Yaffa quit punk rock group Pelle Miljoona Oy to join Hanoi Rocks. It was at this time that HR moved to Sweden and enlisted swedish drummer Gyp Casino. --Humppe 14:50, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
Sales figures
Hanoi Rocks have sold 30 million albums? Where did you get that? Their ex manager Jone Nikula said that the band have sold about 780 000 - 1 000 000 albums altogether.
Reunion: 2001 or 2002?
The Finnish Wikipedia page (13 April 2009 version) says the reunion was in 2001 but this page says 2002. Which one is correct? ---Majestic- (talk) 14:03, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
