In 1980 Andy joined a Finnish punk rock band Pelle Miljoona and played on their hit album Moottoritie On Kuuma. In 1981 he quit from the band and went on to start Hanoi Rocks.

Andy's eccentric lifestyle has been documented in the film The Real McCoy, which had its world premiere in 1999 in the Gothenbourg film-festival in Sweden. Also, following the success of the MTV show The Osbournes, a Finnish TV channel aired a reality TV-show about the day to day life of Andy and his wife Angela.fi:Andy McCoy
