Hanoi Rocks drummer Nicholas “Razzle” Dingley tragically died in 1984 in a drunk driving accident as a passenger in a car driven by Mötley Crüe singer Vince Neil. The group were poised for an international breakthrough at the time, and Razzle’s death ended up derailing the band. Complicating matters years later, Mötley Crüe released a box set called “Music To Crash Your Car To,” which understandably seemed in bad taste given the accident. 

Hanoi Rocks guitarist Andy McCoy last month called Crüe “f*cking ripoffs” for going on their “25th goodbye tour or something,” referencing the current Stadium Tour. McCoy appeared for an interview with Artists On Record Starring ADIKA Live! “I speak the truth … I don’t lie, like Nikki Sixx, through my f*cking teeth.” 

McCoy called Crüe’s decision to name their box set, “Music To Crash Your Car To,” “beyond disrespectful. I thought, and Michael Monroe thought, [that] was the tackiest title, thinking about what had happened… That was in real tacky, bad taste. If you’re European like me, it’s something you don’t do. You respect other people. You just don’t wanna make a buck for yourself. You respect other people.” McCoy also said of Vince Neil: “Never even got as much as an apology from that motherf*cker. You know who I’m talking about. I’m not gonna give any names. Why would I give him fame? F*ck him! Every time I see him, he runs away. Because he knows what I’d do. But that’s our business.”

McCoy also referenced one of Sixx’s stories about allegedly getting beat with a baseball bat on the floor of a drug dealer’s flat after overdosing. “I saved the bloke’s life,” McCoy said. “He tells stories that I beat him up with a baseball bat. I used to play baseball. I know how to use the f*cking bat. You think that he’d be alive? Hell no. Hell no. But he’s after the money. I’m after the art. We are very different. He’s a little farm boy from somewhere in Seattle. Sh*t bumf*ck. I’m from the inner city. It’s a big difference.”

Sixx shot back over the weekend tweeting: “Andy Mcoy has been on a rant saying I never thanked him for saving my life after a heroin overdose. It’s true.I also never thanked him for getting me the drug’s during my deadly addiction that night..I get it, he’s just trying to sell a book ,a album or club tour…”  Mötley Crüe, Def Leppard, Poison and Joan Jett & The Blackhearts kicked off the long-awaited Stadium Tour earlier this year.
