Hanoi Rocks last gigs ever :""{
I wish I could be there in April!
But Helsinki is so far away from Sofia, Bulgaria (as well as Japan)...
May be I have to change my plans to spend April in Paris, FR and to think about the cold Helsinki...
I'll love your music forever!
Admiration and respect,
Antoaneta

So tempted to fly over to Finland for the shows during Easter '09. It'll be the only way I'll ever get to see you guys as you're not coming to America.

I'm sorry, but that f*cking sucks! Not only are you depriving the world of your songs, but we've been waiting for you guys to play in the States since the 80s. We've been buying the solo albums and the amazing new albums and the rereleased old ones, and dreaming and hoping for the day that the most important band ever would teach us all once again how to rock. What happened to the "Radio and MTV need people like me?" attitude? There has not been a single band that compares to you. I'm sure there are a million people that would see you play here, if you came. Please reconsider this decision as it effects many many of your fans that have been supporting you for almost 30 years.....antoine of the anti dance movement

Your gig in Bristol UK was the best thing I've seen this year - and I've been to a lot of festivals and seen a lot of bands - is there any chance you could do a farewell gig in the UK too? We love you and are going to miss you loads xxxx

How disappointing.....Okay one of my fave bands ever is breaking up (anyone else feel 2008 was the worst year ever for music?). ..Eh...sucks, but the music will live on.....The real bad part: never got to to fulfill one of my little wishes to see you guys live at least 1 time. :(......<3..TH

This way bites...! Been a HUGE fan for over 20 years and I've seen many different versions of the bands you guys have played in... Michael Monroe solo tour, Cherry Bombz, Cheap and Nasty, saw Jet Boy and the Dolls with Sami - met Andy outside the Whisky during a Cheap Trick gig one night, had a beautiful art painting done of Mike's solo album cover.... and I was so HOPING to actually get to see Hanoi! ....I know I'm one of TONS of US fans who would love nothing better than to see you come out here. If you're going to do farewell gigs, don't the US fans matter enough to do a farewell tour too? I'd love to come to see you in Japan, Finland or Sweden but since I live all the way in Los Angeles, it's pretty much impossible.....I've bought everything Hanoi that I could get my hands on and I just can't believe you're ending it without coming to the States first. This is so unbelieveably depressing!!
