In a new interview with Waste Some Time With Jason Green, former HANOI ROCKS bassist Sami Yaffa talked about the death of his bandmate Razzle.
He touched upon the topic by recalling what happened that day.
Here’s what he said (via Blabbermouth):
“Vince came to pick up me and Razzle.”
“We stayed at the Franklin Plaza Suites, or something like that, at LaBrea and Franklin. ‘Cause Razzle and Vince were buddies, so he was going to pick up Razzle and show him around L.A. and all this stuff. And Razzle was, like, ‘Sami, come along.’ And he came with a tiny little sports car — it wasn’t that car that ended up in an accident; it was another one; but [it was] a two-seater — and there was no room.
He continued:
“Razzle was just, like, ‘Oh, f*ck it, mate. Just hop on my f*cking lap.’ So it was three of us just cruising around L.A. And he showed us Santa Monica and Hollywood Boulevard and we drove all around L.A. And he was showing us places: ‘There’s The Troubadour’ and ‘There’s the Rainbow’ and ‘There’s Roxy’ and ‘There’s the Whisky.’ So we had a really nice afternoon with Vince. And then he said, ‘Let’s just go back to my house and my wife will cook some lunch, or whatever, and some dinner, and we’ll hang out.’ And that’s what we ended up doing — we ended up hanging out, having some beers and smoke a little spliff and have a good time and talk about things. And little by little, it just turned into more of a party. But it wasn’t really like a crazy party; it was just a bunch of people showed up.
He added:
“Andy [McCoy, HANOI guitarist] and Tommy [Lee, CRÜE drummer] came a little bit later and some of their friends. And we’d been kind of drinking beer all day. And I just said that I’m gonna take a nap. They actually asked me to go with them to go and pick up some more beer. And I said, ‘I’m gonna take a nap.’ And when I woke up, Mick Mars [CRÜE guitarist] was just kind of shaking me awake. And I wondered where everybody else was. And he said that there’s been an accident. And we went to the hospital and I found out that my bro was gone. It was very heavy.”
