Rock 'n' Roll - Don't ya just love it? Bad, bad boys, testosterone and tattoos, drunkeness, bebauchery and public outrage. Your Granny wouldn't like it and in a few years time neither will your kids! Here in brief are a few of my favourites and some links to where you can find out more information.

A Lone Sonic Renegade Staggered From Bar To Car, Bit Hard Into A Wound That Would Not Heal, That Wound Became "Bam" The Blood That's Tried To Escape Grinned Hellfire Razor Sharp Guitar So Was Jo Dog And The Brimstone Stitched It All Together Mr StevenWalked Away From A Wreckage Of Something That Merely Pretended That It Was Alive Put His Fate Into The Renegades Hands, Mr Tyla Smiled His Smiled Urchin Bullet Proof Poetry Into A Century Of Empty Bottles. We Shall Be The Dogs D'Amour, We Will Be What We Are Till Time Sheds It's Last Tear.....

Hanoi Rocks
Trash-Glam-Punk-Metal heroes originally from Finland. Cited as an influence by Guns 'n' Roses and Bon Jovi to name but two. The first time I saw "All Those Wasted Years" it scared me half to death. The band were beautiful, Andy McCoy slung a huge old arch-top around like there was no tomorrow, Michael Monroe was captivating on vocals, harp and sax, I could not take my eyes from the screen, (still can't as it goes,) and that was just a video!
