Self Destruction Blues is the third album by the Finnish rock band Hanoi Rocks, released in 1982. Although often listed as a studio album, Self Destruction Blues is a compilation of singles and B-sides that the band recorded in 1981 and 1982. None of the tracks on Self Destruction Blues, however, appear on their previous albums. Guns N' Roses were rumoured to have recorded a cover version of "Beer and a Cigarette" for their 1993 release "The Spaghetti Incident?". Of note is the fact that although Gyp Casino plays on the LP, his replacement Razzle actually appears on the cover. "Dead by X-Mas" has been covered by the Japanese hardcore band The Piass in 1994, and the British electro group Sohodolls in 2007. In 2018, Collin Brennan of Consequence included Self Destruction Blues in his list of "10 Hair Metal Albums That Don’t Suck", and in 2019, Rolling Stone magazine ranked the album at #23 in its list of the "50 Greatest Hair Metal Albums of All Time".
