Todd Dammit Kerns talks to Michael Monroe.

[@TracieSmithpomeranian]

I was 16 when I saw and heard Michael Monroe doing Dead, Jail, or Rock N Roll video. I was blown away. At 51, I still listen to Michael and Hanoi Rocks. I have a very deep appreciation for their music.

[@newavatar2947]

Its hard to believe this man will be 60 next year. So much energy and passion for life!

[@shotgunrebels]

Man this is a great interview. Loved that Michael had so much to say. He comes across like a great guy. He continues to put out killer albums to this day.

[@ToddKernsOfficialYouTube]

He is a golden god -teamtk

[@cobra.8218]

Yeah! 😎

[@timppatimo6287]

When Mike talks about his musical heroes and meeting them, it's funny but I recall how I briefly bumped into him in Helsinki. He was just walking in into Stockmann with a guitar on a regular day. I was absolutely happy to see Michael Monroe right in front of me in that door. I recall all I could say is "I've been a fan for a long time, Mike" and he said "thanx, appreciate it" and I was just walking by thinking "was it real just right now". Meeting Andy in Helsinki is not so rare, but Michael Monroe in front of you is that lucky day. That was my moment meeting my childhood rock music hero. A legend.

[@guitardoug12]

Michael, get your book translated to english. I will be first in line to buy it! And I am sure all of us here and those who love 80’s rock will buy it too! Great job Todd! You’re an amazing musician and a kind soul.

[@rizhik777]

Todd, Michael, thank you guys so much for an unforgettable evening! You are amazing! *Love*

[@ToddKernsOfficialYouTube]

Michael is very wonderful - we are lucky to have known him -teamtk

[@sampam678]

What a great interview! I have to say my heart was sad for all the horrible things that happened to him and the band. I know some were poor choices, like we all have made at one time or another in our lives. Other times it was just bad timing, unlucky breaks or just life. What really made me smile was how humble he was throughout the interview, and obviously that is how he lives his life. I wish him the best life has to offer. It's interesting to note that people just assume that musicians that tour and make albums are millionaires, not realizing that a lot of them struggle financially just like unfamous people. I hope he makes money on his book, his music and future movie. What a great guy! Thank you for interviewing him🤘🎶🎼🙏

Best Interview ive seen with Michael, thanks for letting him talk

[@GlamourSwinexXx]

Saw him twice with Hardcore Superstar in the states... what incredible shows!! I could listen to his stories for hours, he's a great guy and I can't wait to read his autobiography once it's translated!

Hello Michael and Todd from Toronto 🤘🇨🇦🤘

Michael OOZES cool. And he looks fantastic! My favourite chat by far that Todd has done!

[@DevinRyanVitek]

[@danieldewitt6045]

Just great... What we want to hear Michael Monroe to say and to feel comfortable... Sums it all up. And it is really does. Todd Kerns lets him rant and that is what we want. And great questions Todd. Made my evening!!! Is what we do!!! Cheers!!

[@tasakattotarzan]

A great interview! Director James Gunn (who is a fan of MM himself) could make the documentary of him :)

[@docteurfrud9247]

Thanks for this gem ! On a (long) side-note, it is great to hear that "Life gets you dirty" will be reissued soon. Before losing my copy of it, I remember saying to friends "that has to be the best rock n' roll album of year 1999" and no one believed me at the time ! The personality of Michael Monroe shine through his songs, just like in that interview. Beyond his trademark, kick-ass rock n' roll, his songwriting is meaningful. Through thick and thin, Michael Monroe keeps on going, and his music kept me going (and playing) too in my own darkest hours. To see him getting well-deserved accolades lately was just wonderful. I wish him a long and happy life, and may he keep on sharing his gift to the world as long as he wishes to !

[@angrax2x]

I remember when "Life Gets You Dirty" came out - I bought the Japanese copy and played it almost every day back then. Classic album to me.

[@tinawillits8223]

The best party would be with Michael and Sebastian Bach! That would be the best time ever!!!!! Such awesome energy! Love them!!!

[@parismetaphysics7360]

Micheal Monroe is the hero's journey. A true rock n' roll hero. Love everything he has done.

[@pierovinci3075]

Michael rimane uno dei pochi musicisti che ancora non si è venduto al commercio musicale. Rispetto!

[@eniconico]

A great chat! I am impressed how much he has been through and he keeps on going, but he is also so charming. That jingling of his rings and bracelets as he talks about shoveling snow in the woods and throws his arms around😂

Lot of Finns along with other Nordics migrated around the US/Canada border especially around the Great Lakes because of the similar climate, so that may be the reason for similar cultural norms

Great interview Todd... Michael is without a doubt one of my all-time faves! Kudos & Respect!

[@angrax2x]

Thank you very much, Todd for this interview! Michael to me means soooo much, he's the only real rock'n'roller left on this planet. Too many fakes around. Every album he does is a masterpiece to me. I saw him once with Hanoi Rocks back in 2005 or 2006 in Helsinki and he's absolutely awesome.

[@nikiart8190]

You should do talk with even better hide rock n roll treasure- Adam Bomb. That guy was doing stuff with people like John Paul jones of led zeppelin, audition for kiss as a kid and lose for his low age and hight and probably he was too pretty as well. I think they did something together I saw foto. They was in New York around same time backin the day. He’s the most hardworking guy in rock n roll and never had major breakthrough

[@ETIKUT99]

I met Adam Bomb back in 2005 at a gig in Camden Town “the underworld” he was amazing, very kind, down to earth, signed some albums for me and gave his guitar pick, I still have it all

[@nikiart8190]

I went on afterparty with them after last london gig what he had! Worlds end in 2020 😂 he was about to sign somethig to me but did not found a marker 😂 he’s amazig guitarist and person
