"If you actually look at the way that the 'glam' bands, if you want to call it that, from Los Angeles dressed themselves up, they totally missed the point," Elliott replied. "When English glam bands from the '70s came on 'Top of the Pops' [long-running British music chart television program], it was almost an afterthought to what they were actually doing — music always came first, and then they'd be like, 'What are we gonna wear?' . . .
"The only band — and I'm not saying it because we're here — the only band that did pull it off was [Finland's] Hanoi Rocks. I thought Hanoi Rocks were a good band, and they looked… Michael Monroe [Hanoi frontman] was one of the best… I would have shagged him. [Laughs] I like Michael, I think he's sexy, and I'm not gay. And I think Andy McCoy [Hanoi guitarist] does the best kind of Keith Richards... so much better than Motley Crue or Poison or any of those bands. They [Hanoi Rocks] were real — the rest of the guys, it was all a bit fake for me." - We edited down his comments a little, read them in full and get to the real fun with the fan comments here
