Andy McCoy have said that when they meet, Mike was a more talented guitarist than he. Here is Mike solo with this song: ua-cam.com/video/2GYOICaw85A/v-deo.html
@@MikkoGibson Thanks! I didn't know Andy say that! I remember reading Andy saying that Michael was a fabulous musician -- meaning that Michael could play a lot of musical instruments very, very well -- but that Michael was not that great at songwriting. For what I understood after listening to some very recent Michael interviews on UA-cam is that Michael is (or was) really annoyed by the fact that Andy does not see (or did not see) him as an "equal" in Hanoi Rocks. Not sure if I got that right!
@@ludurigan Michael has been a bit bitter towards Andy, because he participated in the creation of Hanoi Rocks songs more than the composition rights show. At the time, Michael didn't understand how much financial value the copyright holder has, so he didn't claim his name on official contracts. Andy had been cheated in a similar way with his first band, so he knew that whoever is listed as a composer will get a regular income stream over the years.
These videos deserve more views!! 😢😢
I had no idea Michael could play the guitar like that. Can't help but imagine how would it be if he had Any playing this one with him!
