Self Destruction Blues is an 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 record a cover version of Beer and a Cigarette for their 1993 release "The Spaghetti Incident?".

Dead By X-mas has been covered by the US punk band The Hillstreet Stranglers in 2005 and the British electro group Sohodolls in 2007.
