![]() ![]() I wouldn’t do just a reunion kinda thing with old guys. I wouldn’t be doing this if it weren’t for long term. I just think it’s a good strong record and it’s done for the right reasons. I really don’t have that much expectation. Zrock: So far, is the new album progressing as you expected? Michael: I just don’t have a computer yet. ![]() ![]() Zrock: As things develop, feel free to send an email and we ll pass on the info to the fans. Zrock: Hopefully you ll make it through Texas we’d love to participate with the label in a showcase if it fits the routing. He has a little station there, I think, in Arizona, or his own program, Nights With Alice Cooper or something like that. He’s always loved the band and he likes the new album. They always like to have Hanoi Rocks and Alice Cooper and Hanoi Rocks at the end sounds great. Alice is really interested in having us open up for him. Mind you, I was talking to Alice Cooper during an interview the day before yesterday in New York. Then a proper longer tour later on I believe the plan is for later in the spring to come and play here. Probably first a handful of showcase gigs, you know, West Coast, East Coast, maybe Toronto, Detroit, and wherever. Zrock: Do you have current plans for a US tour? So it’s exciting to see what we can accomplish now. Communication and collaboration with him is so much better because, with all the experience over the years as songwriters, as performers, as musicians, we’ve gotten so much better. In the past, we didn’t really talk much at all. Our relationship now is more we can talk about anything and communicating much better. Me and Andy hooking up and started to get reacquainted. I had already decided that I was just going to be Michael Monroe and then this thing came together by itself. When I stopped looking for a band most of my solo career I was trying to look for a band situation I just wanted to be a rock singer in a rock song. Hanoi Rocks was gone and dead and buried. As I’m doing this here, I could say that it’s something that I never expected to happen. I wanted to play here I didn’t want to come here and do interviews, but that’s cool too. Michael: The project is Hanoi Rocks reborn. Zrock: Welcome to Austin and South by Southwest. I met with Michael to discuss the return of Hanoi Rocks after a 17-year haitus and the current state of music. ![]() See below the photos from the first concert of the Hanoi Rocks band with the original line-up since 1982.Legendary Hanoi Rocks vocalist Michael Monroe was in Austin for the South by Southwest (SXSW) Music Conference to promote the new Hanoi Rocks album, Twelve Shots on The Rocks.
