 Legendary Finnish rockers Hanoi Rocks brought their Street Poetry tour to London's Astoria 2 on March 7th.
Live photos from the bands set can be viewed below.
Komodo Rock's Mike Elliott spoke with Hanoi Rock's vocalist Michael Monroe prior to the band hitting the UK. Several excerpts of the interview are included below.
ME: Being that you've been making music for many years now, what inspires you to keep making records?
MM:
The fact that you can only get better at what you do, your evolving all
the time, and you just trying to write better songs, and play better,
and perform better. You're never good enough, there's always room for
improvement no matter how good you are. That's what keeps you going,
you strive for perfection.
Talking about perfection, as a band we're perfectly flawed as I always
say. Rock n roll is not supposed to be a classical concert.
ME: It's not supposed to be note perfect, it's...
MM: ... supposed to be perfectly flawed! There's got to be spontaneity.
We always change songs in every set, but even if we played the same
set, we end up doing it differently. Every show is different and that's
what keeps you going.
ME: Back to the album, before it came out you released the single and
video for 'Fashion'. You were saying earlier about a very cut down feel
to the album, and that really comes across in the video for 'Fashion'.
Was that intentional?
MM: Yeah,we wanted to make it cool and classy looking, based on the
song. We had a pretty good team doing it, these two guys, they did a
great job, made the band look good, and fitted the song perfectly.
ME: It's a great video because of it's simplicity. Are their any plans to do any more videos off the album.
MM: Yeah, we just haven't decided on the song yet. There's going to
another single, we have some stuff, bonus tracks too that we want to
include, but we haven't decided the song yet. We might do it after the
tour, but there is another video coming, and possibly even two.
