Not Fakin' It is the second studio album by former Hanoi Rocks singer Michael Monroe, released in September 1989 through PolyGram Records; a remastered edition was reissued through Lemon Recordings in 2003. This is Monroe's most commercially successful solo release to date, reaching #161 on the 1989 Billboard 200 chart, #14 on the The Official Finnish Charts chart and going gold in Japan.[2] The music video for "Dead, Jail or Rock 'N' Roll" featured Guns N' Roses singer Axl Rose and received substantial rotation on MTV, and was later covered by the band Warrant on their 2002 album, Under the Influence.
