Nowadays those punk-rockers are same kinda like hippies were in the sixties – really pathetic.” Of course it kicked ass, ya know, when Sex Pistols came. There were few good punk bands but just few. Infact, I didn't like that punk stuff, I dig bands like Mott The Hoople or Shangri-La. I changed myself 'cause I didn't believe in that. I still got a gold record from that period.
Andy: ” Yeah, I played in a punk band with Tony (odd nickname of Sam Yaffa used by Andy). I can't walk in the streets 'cause I fear someone's gonna conk me.” I hope we'd be so big one day that we'd have some political power.” Michael: ” You can't live in here. People would change themselves if the surroundings were different. They don't let people to have fun, there's always some security guy or a cop. It pisses me off to see this incredible controlling. No wonder Finnish bands aren't succesful at international music business 'cause you have to believe in yourself and sometimes you have to use your elbows to get through.” Andy: ”Finland would be cooler country if here would be at least twenty five million living innit. People in there has that strange sorry-that-I-even-exist –attitude. There's totally own unique feeling, though a thought of moving back to Finland is out of the question.
Michael: ” It's groovy to play in Finland. Lido Music was in charge for selling concerts in Finland. Playing with a familiar team is more tempting to me than being just a solo character.” Otherwise we'd be called Monroe and McCoy. It was also important that the chemistry between the members wasn't cracking and nevertheless Andy and Michael had claimed afterwards that Hanoi was just their project Andy told in 1984: "Of course we're a band. Quite often Andy went to some music club and returned about 2am with his friends who usually left at 4am wherever they were going. After this he popped in a record store or just played guitar at home. Then he watched movies from a video and ate something. A good example is Andy's daily routines: if the band wasn't rehearsing, recording or shooting a video, Andy woke up at 2pm. Now the band's rock'n'roll life had more humane shape after being skint for many years. That didn't burden them financially especially after Anna got a job from Scorpio Sound Studios. They told that their rent was £100 a week. There Andy and Anna lived in a luxurious one bedroom flat near Oxford Circus. Living in London was now little bit different after they've moved from the suburban areas filled with rats and garbage to city centre. There aren't any kind of troubles looming behind a corner.” Everything's gone exactly we've expected. This is all only a logical consequence of what we've done. 1984 started with belly tickling feelings but still manager Vesterinen kept his feet tightly on the ground:” We don't have too many expectations of what's going to happen this year.
