Fallen Angels 'Runaround' slide show. Fallen Angels were a 1983 collaboration between Knox of The Vibrators and members of Hanoi Rocks. This slide show is the full promotional photo-shoot. 'Runaround' is from their self-titled debut album, now available on vinyl 2xLP. Knox went on to record two more Fallen Angels albums, with a new line-up and with Hanoi Rocks guesting. They're newly-released on a 2xCD with nine bonus tracks, 'In Loving Memory/Wheel Of Fortune' Jungle Records.
Fallen Angels 'Fallen Angels' album - Vibrators' Knox + Hanoi Rocks!
In 1983 Hanoi Rocks were newly signed to CBS Records, and tipped as the next big thing. They found themselves in London with a few weeks off. Meanwhile, Knox from The Vibrators had some great new songs but was kicking his heels whilst his band was taking a break. As they shared a manager, the two problems were easily solved -- record an album together!
The pair-up worked wonderfully. The Rocks were long-time fans of the Vibrators, and Knox's songs and style always had an element of the glam-trash rock roots of the Stooges, Velvet Underground and NY Dolls.
This unique collaboration is released on CD and download, together with bonus tracks from singles 'Inner Planet Love' and 'Amphetamine Blue'. For booklet notes, (the late) former Melody Maker journalist Carol Clerk interviewed both Sami Yaffa (later of the New York Dolls) and Knox for their fond reminiscences of the sessions.
Although the participants went their own way before any live shows of this line-up could occur, Knox continued with the Fallen Angels name for his solo work, issuing a further two albums 'In Loving Memory' (dedicated to Rocks and Angels' drummer Razzle who died in a Motley Crue car accident) and 'Wheel Of Fortune', which both included guest appearances from various Hanoi Rocks members.
