A versatile Finnish musician, songwriter, and visual artist best known as the lead guitarist for influential glam metallers Hanoi Rocks, Andy McCoy has been a working musician since the late 1970s. Although frontman Michael Monroe was the focal point of the group's live shows, McCoy was their musical heart and soul, as he penned or co-penned just about every original song that appeared on a Hanoi Rocks album from 1981 to 1984 (their "classic" period). After the band ceased operations in 1985, McCoy kept busy with projects like Suicide Twins, Cherry Bombz, Shooting Gallery, and Grease Helmet. His solo releases include Too Much Ain't Enough (1988), Building on Tradition (1995), and Jukebox Junkie (2022).
