[edit] Concerning founding members
Andy McCoy was not a founding member of Hanoi Rocks, although he masterminded the band. In fact, Hanoi Rocks was founded by Michael Monroe and Nasty Suicide in 1979. For a short period of time other members included Stefan Piesnack (guitar), Jesu Hämäläinen (bass), Nedo (drums) and Keimo Hirvonen (drums). In 1980 Andy McCoy & Sam Yaffa quit punk rock group Pelle Miljoona Oy to join Hanoi Rocks. It was at this time that HR moved to Sweden and enlisted swedish drummer Gyp Casino. --Humppe 14:50, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sales figures
Hanoi Rocks have sold 30 million albums? Where did you get that? Their ex manager Jone Nikula said that the band have sold about 780 000 - 1 000 000 albums altogether.
