"...life reminds me about a symphony on the radio ..."

Forty nine years ago today a drummer came into this world who Mötley Crüe's singer Vince Neil helped escort from it. Nicholas "Razzle" Dingley was the Brit drummer who provided the unfailing and unflinching beat for the Finnish glam band Hanoi Rocks from 1982 until that fateful day in December of '84 (six days after he turned 24) when Vince and Razzle climbed into the fancy Italian sports car that Mr. Neil should have never tried to drive to the liquor store. This song is from their '81 debut album Bangkok Shocks, Saigon Shakes, Hanoi Rocks. Razzle did not join the band in the studio (replacing Gyp Casino) until their fourth effort, Back to Mystery City but he starts off this live performance. If you've not heard of them before, Hanoi Rocks was an excellent band (and clearly Guns 'N Roses were taking notes).
