About this title

Synopsis

Andy McCoy, the founder of the hugely influential band Hanoi Rocks, has written the last great rock 'n' roll memoir. In this autobiography, the Finnish guitarist and character comes clean with a charismatic collection of stories about true love, heroin addiction, and the tragic breakup of Hanoi Rocks following the death of drummer Razzle in Hollywood in 1984. A national icon in his native Finland, McCoy has been compared to Keith Richards, except Richards only fell out of a coconut tree. Andy McCoy flew from a fourth-story balcony and lived to tell the tale.

About the Author

Andy McCoy is a legendary founding guitarist of Hanoi Rocks. He introduced punk rock to Finland in 1977 with his teenage group Briard, toured the world with Iggy Pop, and repaid his karmic debts by being reincarnated as a housefly for The Real McCoy, a Finnish film based on his life. In the self-penned Sheriff McCoy, Andy riffs on escapades and close escapes from a road of romance and rock 'n' roll as only he has lived it.
