HANOI ROCKS RETURNED?


Michael Monroe (Hanoi Rocks) and Jay Hening (Star Star) formed Demolition 23 in New York 1993, 8 years after the break-up with Hanoi Rocks. Their first and last album was mostly filled with covers (Johnny Thunders, UK Subs & The Dead Boys). The album was dedicated to the memory of Stiv Bators (The Dead Boys) 1994. Sam Yaffa (Hanoi Rocks) played bass guitar on the album. Jay Hening was injured in a road accident and was not able to perform so Nasty Suicide (Hanoi Rocks) replaced Jay on guitar. The fourth member of Hanoi Rocks Andy McCoy also joined Demolition 23, February 1995. Just a month after Nasty Suicide decided to leave the band so Michael Monroe got surprised and decided to split the band.
