667.. The Neighbour of the Beast is the debut album by the Norwegian glam metal band Wig Wam. Released in Norway on 8 March 2004, the album was included two singles, the Melanie C cover "I Turn to You" and "Hard to Be a Rock'n Roller", and their Melodi Grand Prix 2004 song "Crazy Things". The album was produced by the band's guitarist Trond Holter and Ole Evenrud.

In January 2005, the album was reissued for a release in Scandinavia and renamed to Hard to Be a Rock'n Roller. The album included a radio-edit of the song "Hard to Be a Rock'n Roller", an instrumental track titled "The Drop", and a re-arranged tracklist. This album was reissued a second time for release in Scandinavia in March 2005, and renamed to Hard to Be a Rock n' Roller.., with the song "In My dreams" and the video for "Hard to Be a Rock n' Roller" being added to the tracklist. The album was further reissued for releases in Europe and Asia titled Hard to Be a Rock'n Roller.. in Kiev! and Hard to Be a Rock'n Roller.. in Tokyo! respectively.

The album title is a reference to the Iron Maiden album The Number of the Beast. The number 667 was later referenced on the cover art of Wig Wam's third album Non Stop Rock'n Roll as the license plate number of the "guitar car."
