They plain copied it and made a song of it adding melody and lyrics. If you look at guns, they had dont cry around Appetitte era, but it doesn't have much to do with the rest of their songs around that time. Damn, Slash even copied the solo. The slides, the bluesy licks and the run up the fretboard.
janis crutchfield Razzle jam upstairs now with His "tween Brother" - Johnny Thunders, thay sometimes were such similar to each other. .. Rest in peace Razzle and Johnny, never forgotten, always deeply in heart... [*] ♥♡♥ [*]
@rocceymisiuk9310 Find it hard to believe or forgotten that he passed away before Thunders. Because I read somewhere Razzle really idolized and looked up to him when he was a kid.
This is Maine and dads song I knew he was dying from alcohol when he took me to the gig in London in 83 at the marquee. This song kills me every time I hear it. My dad was the best most outrageous dad anyone could have unless your dads boy George or keef or Nikki sixx. God I miss those times. But I have breast cancer and can’t wait to see you soon dad I just hope you’re the same as an Angel as you were in real life.
Awe, I am sorry to hear * ERIc Dauphinais* . BTW: This is coming from a woman that holds her inner child close, however over the games. I hope you find real love . I know you will, I am sure you will!!!Ciao
honestly I know GnR are big fans of these guys, and I can hear a lot of his playing in Slash... beginning of this song sounds like where "Don't Cry" could have come from. Gonna expolore this band more, I love his style.....
@@birdsong985 He was, and still is. Drug abuse have maybe made him a laughing stock but who else can combine Jimi Hendrix with punk rock and get away with it?
Saw Hanoi Rocks at Chestnut Cabaret in Philly one week before Razzle died......there might have been 50 people at the gig. What an anticlimax!!! The forerunners to Guns Roses went down...shame! But in Rock'n'Roll circles they are still GIANTS!! Andy McCoy is still a genius on guitar. Loved the band!
Absolutely love this song so sad Razzle left us way too soon 24 is way too young one of my cousins also passed away at 24 years old a few years ago. Razzle is so handsome so is Sami and Andy. Love these guys so much their music helped get me through the rough times
Does nobody else see at the beginning of the video that Razz was giving the team instructions of what key and tempo to play at? While alluding to it all with the riff he was fucking around with? This band was so so so ahead of its time. That's all I can say. This song is a classic and this version is one of my favorites. Almost 40yrs later here we are, miss you Razz, more than you'd ever believe.
Andy was the soul. Without Andy this band would have never gone international. He wrote this and tragedy and most of the hits for example Cheyenne and these two I mentioned, even though I love Michael Monroe's new solo production. A lot. I love it. Both are just great. ❤
Hearing Razzle in the beginning makes it even more melancholy. What a beautiful piece of music by Andy. Saint or not.. I have to thank Andy and the band for gracing my ears. I take a lot of tricks from McCoy in my playing.
It`s a shame HR never got the break they deserved. They were about to break in USA in 1985 but the death of Razzle ended what possibly would have been the greatest glam rock bands of all time.
I grew up in the 80's and somehow missed this great band !! I can see their influence on alot of bands from mid 80's on. The live performances are great
Dearest Razzle, Ya r truly missin every days. Hopefully Ya jam there upstairs with Johnny Thunders (R.i.P) in a better pleace but down here nothin is the same without Ya... Wherever Ya are now, I just want Ya to know that we miss Ya so much... I strongly believe that Ya r still looking after the Hanoi Guys and after Us - Your Fans as well... And when there ll come my time to leave this world,pls wait me there upsteirs, open those eternal gates for me and hold me deeply as "I've never got a chance to hold Ya" when Ya was still here between Us... Ya was with Us for such a short period of time, but Ya has shined by the most beautiful light of the sunshine, and our world became so cold when Ya was taken away... [*] Rest in peace our Rock Angel, never forgotten, always deeply in heart... [*] ♥ ♡ ♥ [*]
Thank you for the beautiful post * Roccey Misiuk* FYI: I will show * Andy McCoy*We love you *Razzle Dazzle* ( RIP)! Btw: I am very touched how you wrote about my cousin *Johnny Thunders* ( RIP) too. Cheers & RLF/LAMF
Angela McCoy Razzle was the Angel of the diamond ray's of the most beautiful sunshine, who's life has been tragicly cut in the middle of the life's road to all those huge happiness which He deserve with no doubt.... Johnny Thunders was such a beatifull sensitive Soul, which had no enough luck to physicaly survive on the cruel world but His Music and sensitivity ll least for ever in the hearts of all of those who truly know how to breath by the real Music and ima one of 'em... Btw: is it only me or Ya see those unic similarities between Razzle and Johnny? To me Thay sometimes has been lookin almost like a Tweens in a several ways (not mentioned the same tatto even...) Luv 'Em both...
Hi, This is so beautifully and tragically written * Roccey Misiuk* Thank you and May G * D Bless! BTW: * Andy McCoy* and I both see the same unique qualities sometimes. ( only in pictures) . Some pictures we think are JT ( RIP) first or rise versa. Hey, Keep rocking´! IMO:You have a lovely gentle soul and what a golden ear for guitar and music you have. I thank you Sir! *Off topic: * Andy McCoy* will sit with me and social network when he is not so busy. BTW: He just got back from doing some major press in Sweden for his new book coming soon. FYI: I will update you and all who are reading this regarding * Andy McCoy* official, If you like? Ciao for now. RLF/LAMF p.s. I have to edit. IMO: You should make this a song!!!toot a loo
Angela McCoy thank Ya so much for Yr warm and lovefull words, it mean a lot to me... Of course I'd luv Ya to update me! I'm glad to hear about Andy's new book upcoming! BTW: I wish to lern from Him how to be an songwriter as I feel like ima still crowl in this... And Andy has born to be a trully songwriter and to heal ppl who can't live without such songs and such music... Q: Do Ya Guys still travelling around the world? Any plans to visit England? :-* Btw: my dream is to write dwo rock ballads: one - in tribute to the Artists who passed away but who influence me to be who I'm today and help me survive through tha worst whiles of my life. If I ll c'd to do it, with no doubt our Diamond - Razzle (R.i.P) gonna be the 1st One to Whom I wanna dedicate it! And 2nd one - in tribute to the Artists who are still between Us (thank God!) and who rock my world for the life time and ima thankfull to God about every single new days of Their life! Andy and Mike Monroe are on the top of my dedication! Btw: I wish Andy to know that I'm very thankfull to Him about every single day's as He is clean and sober! I want Him to know how much it mean to me as His and Hanoi Fan, coz tha fact that He is clean and most of all tha fact that Ya are with Him, it lemme feel peaceful that the worst things Andy leave behind Him, and that He is really alive and that He won't ended up as Jimmy Hendrix or Jim Morrison if Ya know wat I mean...
Angela McCoy ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-49LjCx8tIjY.html Here ya ll find my own tribute to Razzle, maded during my visit on His restin pleace in a past weekend. Ima not too much proud as I have an issue with singin in english yet but mbe Ya ll like it.. Sendin much love to Ya and to Andy.
大竹彩 one of the most touch full but most unknown of His songs is "Fallen Star", wat a shame that they've never sing it live... :( Greetings from polish Hanoi Fan livin in UK... :-*
Brilliant band, pioneers of the glam rock scene but still got that rough/raw guitar sound (ie:- not like your usual hair bands of the time like). The Intro - absolute genius by McCoy! Back in the day I had this whole gig on VHS video tape and the cherry bombz - great rock'n roll! Inspirational stuff!. I keep watching this back and remembering this band - it breaks my heart when I see the the tragedy and unfulfillment of musical potential that surrounded this band.
What Razzle says in the begining of the video? That dialect beats me! "I met Mike here at the Marquee actually I met Mike here at Johnny Thunders’ gig. That was just a few weeks a week before they played. Then I met with them at their hotel, met Andy and Mike - got on really well with’em ???????????????????????????? "
Mind blowing! I Love it. Thank you! Keep on uploading these:) Btw. Guns N' Roses totally ripped of the intro to this song in Don't Cry. But who wouldn't want to do that. It just sounds so damn good.
Angela McCoy thank Ya for been there for Him in the worst whiles of His life and thank Ya for keep Him alive. Andy is one of the greatest guitarists in history of rock'n'roll! Greetings from the polish Hanoi Fan livin in UK ♡♥♥♥♥ This year I plan to visit Razzle's Resting Pleace, sped some time there with Him, and tell Him how much He mean to me and how huge influence r Hanoi Guys to me and my life, wanna sing for Him and play n guitar as I'm a singer and guitarist as well... [*] Rest in peace Razzle, never forgotten, always deeply in heart... ♥ ♡ ♥

BTW: If you want to get ahold of * Andy McCoy* or I please go to Facebook and put in a friend request. You will get all the latest official news from music to paintings, etc.. BTW: I will show Andy your post as it is so beautiful!!! Thank you again. Please do sing and play for him. IMO: I know his spirit will be there in the wind, your breath, all over. May G * D Bless you! RLF/LAMF Dada!
Angela McCoy thank Ya so much Hun! Wish to av some contact with Ya Guys, as now a day's ima not able to use my usually fb account... :-/ Ima so glad to hear that Andy is on His best way to do His own thing again... I want Him to know that I truly miss Hanoi Rocks as a band and as a sweetest Guys ever and there was no other like 'Em in the music history... Thay was those trully biddin Heart of the Rock'n'roll and in the worst whiles of my life Their songs are like a Ray of the most beautiful sunshine between the darknest clouds of depression, and in the past it was Their Music which saved my life frm a suicide in the moments when I thought that there is no hope and no chance for a better day... I wish to c'd tell Andy and all the other Hanoi Guys how much Ima thankfull to 'Em... I dream to av my own rock'n'roll band which w'd be in some kinda Hanoi Rocks Tribute as well... And so I'm going to visit Razzle on September 7th and it ll long travel as Ima livin on the 2cd side of England, near Birmingham. But when I've thinkin about this incoming travel to His Resting Place, I feel such a beautiful feeling - I don't feel as ima going to visit a Restin Place but I feel like I'd have to go back to my own home (which I've never had) to visit a most beautiful and most near Best Friend which I've never got a chance to met when He was still between Us but I've those feelin as I'd knew Him frm the beginning of my life and forever... just like in the song Milion Miles Away "and You are milion miles away... I've never got a chance to hold You" But I feel it like He won't be a milion miles away, I feel like He w'd wait there to hold me in the worst while of my life by which I'm goin through in this time... I feel like I'd av to go there to experience that He is ryt next to me and tryna help me to get my self togheter and find new life's beginning again. .. I can't find a words to express how deep meaning this feeling av to me and how much this travel gonna mean to me... And the last one - Hanoi Guys made me fall in a deepest love with...Finnish language! Bcoz of 'Em I've gotta dream to lern Finnish, and I've promised to my self that one day I ll lern to speak Finnish fluently as it's most beautiful language on the planet earth! But for now, Andy and Mike has teach me those one specjal and mabe most important word in life - and that's the word "Kiitos" (thank Ya)! I wrote that Thay teach me this word bcoz that's the word which Thay both often usein and Thay r brave enough to not afraid to use this word as I know a lot of ppl who afraid to use such important words... And that's one more thing ima thankfull for. Luv Ya both Angela & Andy! And luv Mike Monroe as well! God bless Ya all! :-* :-* :-* [*] Rest in peace Razzle, the Angel of the diamond Ray's...
* Roccey Misiuk* Thank you for opening up to me ( us)! IMO: You showed courage! A lovely rare quality today!!! Cheers to YOU!! You have your platform right now. I feel this letter will make * Andy McCoy* tear up as well. I will show him this weekend. Imo: Suicide is never the way! ( I know easily said) however sometimes we get stuck. Are minds produce bad thoughts and memories. It is subliminal. We are creatures of habit. I had to train my mind to all positive thinking. Good no matter what! Anger will shut us down. Please try and process good /power thoughts. I believe life should & will be bright again and optimistic! Those bad feelings get trapped inside. I would have a needle or alcohol to dull that suffering. Now I am free! I do not want to sound like I am preaching. I am not religious, however I do believe in Almighty G * D!!! All is as it should be. This too shall pass. Write to me if you feel this bad thought. Hey, MUSIC saved my life too. I am thanking almost every artist I can think of that touched my soul. I am sick of this business and if you could only imagine the stress it causes us. No more! We are awake. IMO: You are equal in all things! You can write a song better than , or just as good as any my husband has written, if you write from your soul like you are doing! Have a fantastic voyage. I will be there in spirit. Be in it to win it! Off topic: Oh I love Finland! I speak Stadi ( Helsinki slang) & some book Finnish.So many people speak English today. I made up Finnglish years ago too. hihi. It works. FYI: It is the hardest language to learn in the world (well *Polish* too as you must know) , however so fun once one gets the bouncy rhythm! Kiitos! Thank you again & enjoy. I want to hear all about it.I will be back with the man. RLF/LAMF Ciao for now.
Fantastic! Well done on the remasters, they are brilliant, I've watched All Those Wasted Years on VHS and DVD so many times and this really adds to the experience. Thanks CrueLoaf
This is so damn good playing especially Andy but also the whole band. That's why it's hard to believe Razzle met those just couple weeks ago. This also amuses me because as a decades played guitarist I can hear accent of guitar play and sound. Andy has no finnish but british accent like Brian May, Mark Knopler, Iron Maiden guitarists, Noel Gallagher, Edge. You can hear certain melodies and riffs and sounds and they are million miles away from Steve Vai or Eddie Van Halen "Brown" or L.A.sound.
This inttro is Cheyenne a song from Hsnoi rocks who An dy wrote back in '80/81 You can find un Hsnoi First record and Andy's build on tradición album japanese edition from 1995. Awesome song that Guns used to write their hit Don't cry the parts are very similar. Listen Hanoi forever and ever
this was the band that put finland to the map, if we talk about music... after this came him, rasmus nightwish... think guys they where 83 at the marquee,later budokan where dont go, youll be invited...we wait for the next big one!
i also like the other version of this they did where mike mentions about the lights going down in lexington avenue , so many lyric changes to this version but still a great song
He had his problems with R'n'R lifestyle in 80's (-90's?), but music won the lure of the 'sideshows'. Here's how he's now. From a gig early this year: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4iFlJEhBi3M.html
timomastosalo oh yeah most of the gorgeous rockers don’t look great now that their old but hey at least they have the memories and can look back and say they were the shit
facts straight everyone. this song is dont never leave me from first hanoi album in '81. second version came out in two steps... album in '84 called dont you ever leave me 'cause producer wanted to use one of their well known songs but this time slightly different. this clip is from all those wasted years album/video from marquee '83
