I will ALWAYS love Andy McCoy! This guy has lived!

[@PAULLONDEN]

Is he gone ?

[@roxannemoser]

​@@PAULLONDEN no, but when he goes, he's packed every minute of living into life. He's like that rich, screwed up uncle you love to see, and you love to see leave.

[@smkxodnwbwkdns8369]

Both Hanoi and Guns n’ Roses took that soundscape from Johnny Thunders and The Heartbreakers. Izzy even dressed like Thunders and had the same haircut! Guns also covered two johnny thunders songs on Spaghetti Incident.

[@alexisc1970]

We all know this. What have you done?

[@baronsaturday2103]

Many bands got inspired by the NY Dolls and the Heartbreakers, and many more got inspired by their attitude and amazing look. (originally Stones attitude & look)

[@amritsagar4964]

I saw Hanoi Rocks play in Bombay (now Mumbai) in 1984. They were fantastic.

[@timppatimo6287]

lucky!

[@geem8011]

Sounds great. Did they actually end up playing for around four hours?

[@Hunter.S.Thompson]

Damn thats tough. Each of them describe that gig going down fucking crazy in their books.

[@amritsagar4964]

@@geem8011 I can't remember, to be honest, but I don't think 4 hours. Maybe 2?

[@ranjitmenon4698]

Hi Amrit! wow sounds awesome, I know Andy personally - would be so cool to ask you abt the gig , are you in mumbai?

[@TheLordGoat]

Vince owes Hanoi about 5 million, easy

Al the hasch conents here Andy is a fantastic guitarist and has a big hart A real artist

[@jonathansteadman7935]

Absolutely agree with Andy, the soul of GnR died when Izzy left. Izzy was the Hanoi in GnR, when I first saw a pic of GnR I thought, those guys wanna be Hanoi Rocks.

[@TheJerryRN]

Three things… 1- Steve Clark and Andy McCoy, my favorite guitarist for feel and tone. Pure heart. 2- Andy… be great my friend. You are an icon. Hope you are healthy as hell and plan on living to be 100! 3- what was the brand of Gin and juice you were drinking? They should pay you for your endorsement!

[@AssarKask-kp6uo]

Its Hartwall longdrink from Finland.

[@itsthatguyphil]

LOL!!! I've done many interviews with people myself, and I can feel the frustration of talking with Andy. I love Andy, but good lord, talking to someone that drunk is near impossible. LOL!!!

[@richmonder-]

He is not drunk. He is always like that.

[@alexisc1970]

[@chuckfizzy8075]

Legend!

[@PiaEklund-g5s]

Andys drinking etc.) is a reaction of the trauma of losing he's best friend Razzel😢And also Johnny.Please ma 🎉tes help him to be sober and healthy😊 Hanoi R was my first glamrock band i loved and after that i have meet them a lot of times.And all their shows was totaly brilliant.🎉I have meet Johnny 1 time also in Sweden.They was so shy and nice guys.❤

[@tonypascale5317]

Andy I was brought to tears a few times listening to you. You are a fine man! I'm so sorry about Razzle and Johnny. I'm a Christian now but was strong in the metal scene and remember hearing of Razzle's death like it was yesterday. Jesus loves you and God has a plan for your life. Great interview!!!

[@TheFairway8]

I was a friend of Razzles remember him from his Demon Preacher days I met him and got to know him through my mate Adam. Went to a few gigs with him usually down the Marquee club in London. One surreal experience I had was I was only about 17 still living at my parents, playing my cheap guitar when my mate Adam turned up with Razzle and Nasty from Hanoi Rocks, I always remember Nasty raving about the guitar tone I had using my Leo Valve practice amp. Was indeed a very sad day when I heard Razzle had died I believe his parents had his body bought back to the Isle of Wight where he was originally from.

[@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle]

yes, Vince should have apologized, it does not take much to say the words "i'm sorry" But hereis the question did he apologize to the two people who paid for his mistake who live with the irreparable damage? Did he apologize to them? At least feigning contrition is something

[@ObsidianLife]

Pretty sure this was covered in the VH1 behind the music...Neil never really took responsibility directly. To be fair, maybe that's what his lawyers told him to do, but it's pretty shitty...

[@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle]

@@ObsidianLife you cannot go against human decency and not apologize. You have to own up to it, and the two peop;e whp suffered brain damage

[@ObsidianLife]

@@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle Agreed; hope I didn't sound like I was justifying it. Neil is trash...I'm just willing to bet his lawyer went with "mistakes were made" as opposed to "I FUCKED UP..."

He's taking his cue from Keith Richards and johnny thunders

[@HeilAmarth]

He still plays gigs 100% attitude and precision. He does two gigs in LA this december. But yeah this guy never grew up, he's still in his 20's rock n roll wise. Otherwise a huge weed smoker, very much into far Asian stuff, meditation and developing yourself. Also likes to drink a bit😅

[@mikelambert6733]

Bro,you looked like you were dying on the inside interviewing a Drunk rock star. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE ANDY and his work and when I was young tried too party just like Motley and Hanoi ect. I'm a child of the 80's,so I was there when Hanoi released their American debut BUT, @53 and 3 years into being sober I felt SORRY for the dude,and quite frankly couldn't understand alot of the interview with his gurgling incoherent drunkenness. Nasty has been heard giving interviews of late by myself personally and he speaks fluently with just a trace of his native Finland accent. Sobriety Andy....PLEASE give it a try mate.

[@Parttous]

[@HeilAmarth]

Of course Vince runs from Andy if they see each other like anywhere. He'd give him a fist blow or worse really. That guy doesn't stop if somebody doesn't stop him. Hanoi was Andy's songs and shot to stardom in America, well fuck.

[@brianbeauchaine2597]

Did Andy have a stroke? He seems like he's struggling to speak.

[@johnsmith_1942]

He is a drunk and on weed most of the time since abandoning smack, and been slurring like that as long as I remember.. He did fall of a balcony once and was in a wheelchair for a while. When I saw them play in 2000s he was razor sharp on stage. Not like I was used to seeing him. Their tour manager had zero tolerance for alcohol and I think that was a problem for Andy in the end.

[@abokickel]

Why would he do these interviews totally wasted. Just ruins everything. And another way of ruining it is to feed him with too much praise and kudos.

Way too drunk to be doing an interview

[@robhamilton4736]

The guy was just as responsible for getting in the car with a drunk guy. Neil only drove him because he was the most sober and Razzle was lit. 30 days was fair. Neil owes you nothing. Especially ditting here lit off your ass on heroine. Plus Neil would kick your ass. So stop acting like you would do jack.

[@bhfyffc]

are you a bit dumb?

[@robhamilton4736]

GnR is NOTHING like this crap band. This band is more like the Ramones. But they sucked. Rock Blues. Give me a break. AND this guy is blitzed out of his mind on heroine.
