thread_title:  Why "Hanoi Rocks" 

message: Andy McCoy was not a founding member of Hanoi Rocks, although he masterminded the band. In fact, Hanoi Rocks was founded by Michael Monroe and Nasty Suicide in 1979. For a short period of time other members included Stefan Piesnack (guitar), Jesu Hämäläinen (bass), Nedo (drums) and Keimo Hirvonen (drums). In 1980 Andy McCoy & Sam Yaffa quit punk rock group Pelle Miljoona Oy to join Hanoi Rocks. It was at this time that HR moved to Sweden and enlisted swedish drummer Gyp Casino. --Humppe 14:50, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: FYI

message: "The band launched a 102-day tour in January 1981, which is believed to be the longest rock tour in Finnish history."
Did not Nightwish tour for over 22 months in 2007–09 and a similar span in 2011–13? Perhaps the assertion should be qualified with ". . . up to that time." or something similar, or perhaps a tour within Finland (as opposed to an international one) is meant, but we really need the original source of the statement (I did not add the "citation needed" tag, it was already present) and for that source to be checked, if it is to remain even in modified form. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 2.125.73.196 (talk) 04:39, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
