 Michael Monroe - Biography - AOL Music
Monroe's first solo release was 1987's Nights Are So Long (a Scandinavia/Japan only release), which was quite Dead Boys-influenced (Monroe had befriended Stiv Bators and covered one of his solo songs, while guitarist Jimmy Zero contributed a pair of songs).
The album would go on to become Monroe's most successful stateside release (the only one to appear on the Billboard charts), while all of Hanoi Rocks' albums were reissued on Guns N' Roses' short-lived Uzi Suicide label (Monroe also appeared on G n' R's Use Your Illusion releases and The Spaghetti Incident).
Monroe has also sporadically reunited with his ex-Hanoi bandmates, including Yaffa under the name Demolition 23 (1995's Demolition 23), and with McCoy as Hanoi Rocks, resulting in the 2002 release, Twelve Shots on the Rocks.

Michael had brought a tape of Stiv's original band the Dead Boys for Axl to hear since he wasn't apparently that familiar with their music.

A Washington, D.C., native and political novice, Monroe is seeking to become the city's next House Delegate, and the District's sole Congressional representative.

 Michael Monroe : Whatcha Want - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Although his initial albums showed promise, Monroe completely turned his back on his solo career after a pair of releases -- not issuing another album that solely bore his name throughout the entire '90s.
But the early 21st century was a different story entirely, as Monroe issued an EP and three full-length solo outings between 2000 and 2003 -- including Whatcha Want.
And as with many of Monroe's solo outings, you get a Stiv Bators-related cover, this time a rendition of the Dead Boys' classic "What Love Is." Not the worst listeners have heard from Monroe over the years, but certainly not the best.

 Not Fakin' It - Michael Monroe - Music Reviews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
On his American solo debut, Michael Monroe adds hair band rock to his usual mix of punk, glam, and '70s heavy metal.
This comes on like a steaming metal locomotive and is more or less a statement of purpose: "I'm not fakin' it/fooling myself that I'm makin' it." While Monroe has the gorgeous model looks, his music is still a little too real for the masses, and apparently he knows it.
The rest of the disc is packed with top-notch material, mostly written by Monroe.

 Get Ready to ROCK! Review of CD album by Michael Monroe called Whatcha Want
Michael Monroe is the singer with Hanoi Rocks and this is his latest solo album.
Monroe plays some tasty harmonica on ‘Right Here, Right Now’, another up tempo tune and the melodic rock sing-a-long ‘Stranded’ follows, with Monroe switching to sax.
He puts in a very gentle vocal performance and proves there’s more to his vocal style than punk pop and sleaze rockers.

 Ink 19 :: Michael Monroe   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
So now you have Michael Monroe sitting on the secret to the frigging Fountain of Youth, and in the year 2000, after nearly twenty years in the metal trenches, HE STILL, for my money, looks pretty damn close to Iggy Pop on the cover of Raw Power!
Combines the cocky stomp of (swoon) prime glam with the rusty edges of evil punk rock, and fear not, the voice is stronger than ever.
It's kinda like if Michael Monroe was Dracula, and the Backyard Babies took the stake out of his heart, and brought him back to life, and in repayment he decided to show them what real gutter rock was all about.

There's also the typical goofy throw-away track "Not Bad For A White Boy" (Hey, Vince Niel did a lousy attempt at rap on his second solo album - I know it's a tasteless comparison but let's leave it alone guys).
Michael Monroe has always had great taste in cover songs and this one is particularly cool.
Guess he's still pissed at Andy McCoy since this is the first one that he didn't stick to the original arrangement.

I'm not even sure what happened to that Jerusalem Slim thing with Steve Stevens a while back.
About halfway through and I don't hear a pop lick on here yet-amazing but true.
Monroe's actually kept quite busy by the looks of things, aside from his solo stuff of recent years, working again with former Hanoi bandmates in this Demolition 23 thing that's since dissolved, but I'll give him credit, the guy's refocused his energies on this new band and the new material cranks!
