Before the Vince Neil car crash put a tragic and untimely full stop on Hanoi Rocks' career, the band had been on a brilliant path to greatness. “We had a shopping bag full of weed which we had bought for 10 bucks,” McCoy explains.

The driver of one of them, 18-year-old Lisa Hogan, was rushed in a critical condition to the intensive care unit of the Little Company of Mary Hospital, where she remained in a coma until the end of the month with a broken arm and two broken legs.
