Jetboy have always been a bit of an oddity in the California rock music scene. Thanks in part to frontman Mickey Finn’s punk image, and some stylistic shifts, people have struggled to pigeonhole them. The singer’s hair has resembled that of Jean Beauvoir (Crown of Thorns/Plasmatics) and Wattie Buchan (The Exploited) in the past, and that sleaze-punk cred was only amped up when Hanoi Rocks bassist Sami Yaffa joined in the late ’80s, a replacement for original member Todd Crew, who tragically died in the hotel room of Guns N’ Roses’ Slash.
