Michael monroe – cathouse glasgow review.

Neil Henderson 3 December 2013 Event Reviews

A cold Friday at the end of November finds me back in the Cathouse in Glasgow for the UK leg of Michael Monroe’s Horn’s and Halo’s world tour, but the temperature doesn’t matter when for my money you have one of the best front men in the rock scene at the moment about to perform on stage and entertain you.

Support band for tonight was The Black Lights from Central Scotland who’s brand of classic rock seemed to go down well with the filling venue. Songs like ‘Season Of The Bitch’ and ‘Money’ doing particularly well with the Mike Monroe fans, all too soon their time was over and the stage was cleared ready for Michael Monroe and his cohorts to hit the stage.

Hitting the stage doesn’t really do justice to what happens when Mr Monroe and his all star band walk on stage and start to play. The band arrive quietly enough while the intro tape plays there is a short pause Michael arrives and it’s like a 1000 tons of TNT has been let off in the venue! To my mind this is how rock n’ roll should be played loud, fast an with 100% commitment from all on stage and tonight was no different from any of the other times I’ve seen Michael Monroe live. With Sami and Karl driving the band forward, Steve Conte’s excellent guitar work not forgetting Dregen replacement for this tour Rich Jones also on guitar this has to be one of the best sounding and working bands out there.

A large part of tonight’s set was from Michael’s new album Horns and Halos as expected and live it certainly did not sound out of place with the older material that was played, the ‘Ballard Of The Lower East Side’ I thought was sublime. Michael was on great form tonight like some prowling caged animal he was all over the small Cathouse stage and constantly leaping across to the barrier to be closer to his audience. The fans had to wait till the end of the main set before we got some of the classic Hanoi Rocks tunes before a stellar version of my personal favourite Michael Monroe song ‘Dead, Jail or Rock ‘N’ Roll’ rounding off the main set.

Tonight was a perfect example of everything that is good in rock music great musicianship, great showmanship and a band that won’t quit till the very last note of the last song is played. Now if somebody could tell me where that guy gets all that energy from night after night on the tour I would be eternally grateful lol.

Monroe’s newest batch of songs is hard-hitting and honors tradition while searching for some new kick-ass ingredients to mix into the primordial rock‘n’roll stew. The band gives the more melodic material a punky attitude that the songs wear with style. The beating heart of the group consists of bassist Sami Yaffa and drummer Karl Rockfist. Sami and Michael go way back, to the 1980s – Sami played bass in Hanoi Rocks, launched Demolition 23 with Michael and started cult band Mad Juana in Spain in the 1990s, before going on to play in the reformed New York Dolls, as well as with Joan Jett and the Blackhearts this millennium. Karl has pounded the skins behind stars like Glenn Danzig and Joan Osborne.

Michael Monroe and Vince Neil finally come face-to-face, decades after fatal car crash

39 years after the crash that killed Hanoi Rocks drummer Razzle, Michael Monroe and Vince Neil exchanged pleasantries backstage in Finland

Mötley Crüe frontman Vince Neil and Hanoi Rocks vocalist Michael Monroe have come face-to-face for the first time. 

Neil was driving the car that killed Hanoi Rocks' drummer Razzle in 1984, after which the Mötley man had been charged with vehicular manslaughter and driving under the influence of alcohol. He was sentenced to 30 days in prison. 

In 2003, Monroe recalled in the incident, telling Classic Rock , "I was in my hotel with my foot in a cast. The guys went out partying, and Vince was fucked up on whatever. He took Razzle out driving and couldn’t handle his car; he was trying to show off. 

"Now, Razzle had been in an accident when he was younger. He was paralysed from the neck down at one point, from a bike accident that he had, and so he was a safe driver. If I had been in that car it probably wouldn’t have happened.

“And after that, Motley Crue made those fucking videos with car crashes and shit. Imagine a kid paralysed because of this guy, and he’s on TV hitting a burning car? That to me is totally ignorant, insensitive and stupid."

Now the two have met in person for the first time. The encounter came backstage at Mötley Crüe's recent Stadium Tour show with Def Leppard at Finland's Rockfest 2023 festival, held in Hyvinkään, and pictures published on Instagram tell the story of what appears to have been a pleasant meeting.

"One of the most important moments of my life was meeting Vince Neil for the first time last night." writes Monroe. "Razzle always wanted us to meet as he thought 'us singers' were a lot alike. Under different circumstances both bands probably would’ve ended up as good friends, but fate had other plans… Thank you for your time, Vince. We didn’t say much but your eyes told me more than 1000 words ever could. And your singing was great at the show. Nice to finally see you guys live!"

Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx was also conciliatory, saying, "What a wonderful surprise seeing Michael Monroe at the show tonight. Haven’t seen this fine gentleman for years with everybody’s personal life on top of careers and then living in different parts of the world. You're a class act Michael, and please bring your harmonica next time."

"It was truly wonderful to see you again, my friend," responded Monroe. "I had the greatest time and meeting you all meant the world to me. I will definitely bring my harmonica next time so we can do some rockin’ together! Love, respect and rock’n'roll!"

Mötley Crüe and Def Leppard's Stadium Tour continues, with the next date at the Copenhell festival in Copenhagen, Denmark, on June 14. Last week the bands added three Australian dates to the schedule . Full dates below.
