HOLY SHIT IVE HAD THIS SONG STUCK IN MY HEAD FOR NO APPARENT REASON FOR THE PAST WEEK, AND I HAVEN'T HEARD IT FOR ABOUT 10 YEARS....THEN A FRIEND POSTS IT ON FACEBOOK......LIFE = MADE!!!!
@brucencalifornia Bowie handed the song to them to re ignite their career. They had basically broken up and then bowie gives them this magical song and they decide not to break up. Damn I must say they definately did it justice. Bowie then recorded the song but never officially released it until 1995... basically what you said brucencalifornia.
If you look closely at the 1:01 minute mark (and again near the end of the video) they show a street scene of some kids standing around. Looks to me like it's the band "Slade" in street clothes. Dave Hill smiles at the camera, Noddy Holder and Jim Lea appear to be preoccupied but I'm pretty sure that's Slade.
I was trying to think about it. Why was music back then so much better than now? I actually think it's because they didn't try so hard. Keep it sincere, keep it four in the bar, don't overdub, and use no more than four tracks (eight if you are Pink Floyd). Give it love and enjoy being young. More technology and money + shittier music.
@ltschmidt02 It was better because they paid their dues....... and clawed their way to the record companies...playing countless dives and roadhouses along the way.... they sat down and wrote.....etc etc...
@missjacko1 You're right, of course. I should post praise of bands I love, rather than post knocks of bands I don't even care about (like this one). But, well. It's a lot easier to complain about something you don't like than to give intelligent praise of something you love, and that's why I said what I said. If you like 'em, it's not for me to say that you're wrong. I love Bach and John Coltrane and the Beatles, but sometimes I just want to listen to the Geto Boys.
they were a great live band. period. the band members went on to do important work with other artists, esp. Mick Ronson. he has always been respected by his peers along with other guys like Spedding. i saw Hunter with w/ current lineup in chicago. It was far from faded performance with a band who clearly enjoyed themselves. His voice is strong, which surprised me. he was in good shape but skipped prancing a la Jagger. He did sing an unfortunate homage to USA to a suddenly quiet crowd.
Rampantly heterosexual pub-rock band covers Bowie and almost completely fails to convey the implications of the original song. Mott the Hoople should be allowed to take their place in the not undistinguished roll-call of one-hit wonders. Nothing else they did was nearly as much fun as this, inept as it is.
@lexo30 "the not undistinguished roll-call of one-hit wonders"...Sheesh, relax and lighten UP! Nobody cares if the song "fails to convey the implications of the original song". People don't listen to rock to become enlightened...they listen to it because it makes them feel good.
@emidore Good point, and I concede that I was being a pretentious idiot there. But, you see, Mott the Hoople don't make me feel good. They make me feel like I'm a little kid and it's a wet weekend in the early 70s and there's nothing to do and my toys are all boring and I can't even watch telly because someone's watching some shouty, plodding, boring band singing about stuff that I find depressing and incomprehensible. Mott, and many bands of that era, have the power to do that to me.
@emidore It wasn't until I was in my late teens, in the late 80s, and I discovered '73-'74-period King Crimson, that I realised that not all early 70s bands were shouty, plodding and boring like Mott.
@missjacko1 There were a lot of bands from this period who had as much talent as Mott, but they were just as bad at writing songs, or their lineups were just as unstable, or they were just as uneasy-looking and charmless onstage, and they never got to be as famous because Bowie didn't hand them a song. I am not a Bowie fan; I don't even like his stuff. But he is the reason why Mott is famous. It's not because they were somehow great but we haven't caught up yet, or whatever.
@missjacko1 The reason why people don't always say 'in my opinion' is that that would be hopelessly wishy-washy. Obviously, most of this stuff is people's opinion, but not always, if you know what you're talking about. I think I can prove that Mott were a third-rate band, but not within the word limit of a YouTube comment. It would take me about 2000 words, but my basic argument would be that they are only famous because their biggest hit was a Bowie cover.
@missjacko1 No, just because I don't like them doesn't mean that they were crap. I don't like Verdi either, but that doesn't mean that Verdi is bad. Mott the Hoople were bad because, however good their other stuff was, they had nothing as good as this song up until this song, and nothing as good as this song after it - and they didn't write this song. I've read Ian Hunter's book. They were an early 70s boogie band with delusions of seriousness that struck it briefly lucky. Bless 'em.
I've never liked this song, and I've never liked this band - they really did ride to their five minutes of fame on the back of Bowie's comet, and I don't really like Bowie either. But Ian Hunter's book 'Diary of a Rock and Roll Star' is one of the most endearing documents of early 70s rock, with Hunter's bloody-minded determination to prove that Mott was a real band, in spite of the obvious evidence that they didn't have much to offer beyond this song, plus his naivety about the lifestyle. Aww.
one of bowie's rejects - but still a great song with brave lyrics and a great, contemporary groove...bowie used to perform it live in the ziggy era and the crowd went into orgasm mode...and revived the song in more recent gigs.
@captaincomputa There is no one good era. They all have good stuff. The 20s and 30s were great for blues and early jazz. The 40s were great for jazz, generally. The early 50s were...okay, maybe that was a bit of a lull. The late 50s were great for rock & roll and the revival of Frank Sinatra's career. The early 60s were the time of the early Beatles. The late 60s were the late 60s. The early 70s were very complicated, but I don't personally think that Mott the Hoople were good. And so on.
Playing Mott the Hopple on my Harmon Cardon Stereo blew out two sets of speakers in my youth. Today watching and hearing them again brings sheer joy to my heart. Rock On Mott!! from a former Detroit rock n roller...
@imajeepster Thats a handmade, one of a kind custom job. It sold at a Christies auction a few years back for a lot of money, I dont remember the exact amount but it was north of $100,000
@NorthsideBill I figured it had to be! very interesting bit of trivia!
I keep thinking I may have seen footage of MTH where the guitarist was playing Rickenbacker Lightshow. It would have been some Glam-era band, but I am not sure it was them. They were available at that time and would have been played in a band like Hoople..but I could be wrong and it could have been some other band.
@imajeepster Entwhistle from The Who played a Light Show bass for a while, a very rare model. McGuinn from the Yardbirds played a Light Show guitar. There was even an all girl band around Vegas in the early 70's who all played Light Show guitars and bass. I owned one for a while and wasnt thrilled with it, the visual effects were great but I couldnt get the sound I needed from it
that's what i understand...but the effects were really cool. I guess that's why they only made them for a short time. If you can find one they're worth about 100 grand! "Don't touch that one! We don't play it!"
@goonsackmask i do agree with you a bit there, but i knew this song before i ever heard about the movie Juno. I saw the movie for the first time about a week ago. And i love it!
@TheWizzboo Trust me man, me and all my friends were saying the same thing in high school, just keep listening to what you love, and share it when you can. Good music never dies.
Thank God for Youn Tube!!! I have been exposed to some of the greatest music out there that I never knew existed thanks to the idiots that control the music industry here in the States. Had it not been for You Tube I would never have heard of Mott the Hoople, Slade, Sweet, and other tremendous UK groups!
Thanks for the info, but luckily, even without their promotion on the airwaves here, Queen, Adfam and the Antz and Madness have always been some of my fav's!!
Unfortunately that tragedy has a global character now, name any country or region. Finance wizards dictate what kind of music you`re going to listen !..
This was in a Guitar Hero game, which might account for younger kids knowing the song. Guitar Hero and Rock Band are pretty much the only things that saved rock and roll from the blitz of hiphop and dance-pop that has enveloped the entirety of mainstream pop music in the last 15 years. Without them, the younger kids would know nothing other than Kanye West and whatever.
@cjwynes Actually, for me, that had nothing to do with it. My dad listened to rock, and I liked it. He isn't around much anymore, but I still like rock. I know plenty of kids who aren't at all impressed by music today, and honestly -like me- don't even own music from 2011. I've only really ever heard the pop songs that other kids sing. I suppose that makes me lucky, because I only hear the best music 2011 has to offer. Even then, when I do listen to newer music, it's always 'alternative' radio.
@iwantcompletecontrol The Clash blows. They always tried too hard to be cool....instead, they come off like a trio of downer geeks with guitars. I don't think they believed in anything other than "The world is coming to an end.".....and, who wants to listen to that?!! Ian Hunter and Mott make you want to take a bite out of life, while the Clash is just standing in a puddle of piss.
@emidore LOL chill out. If you don't like the Clash that's fine, don't be such an ass about it. Secondly, you obviously don't know anything about them if you think they believed that "the world is coming to an end." They're not the Sex Pistols. The Clash were actually pretty idealistic and believed in bringing out the best in people to stand up for injustices and do something about their crappy lives (not like the Pistols, who were the ones who sang "no future for you"). Anyways, to each his own
@emidore By the way, if you came to that judgment based on the lyrics I quoted, you should know that that song is about how they met, how they worked hard as a band, and some of the frustrations/perils of signing to a major label. You mention "taking a bite out of life" yet think their music wasn't about that... so clearly you don't listen to their songs. Regardless, I'm not here to "spread the message" about the Clash. I was only commenting about a song with a similar title, that's all.
Thank you Ricky Gervais and Cemetry Junction :) I love Ricky Gervais and I was watching an interview of him and then the trailer for Cemetry Junction came on! It was an awesome film! But I only watched it because of that song haha :) <3 My favorite song yet!

The Clash have a great song called "All the Young Punks," whose title is, I believe, a reference to this song.
All the young punks
Laugh your life 'cause there ain't much to cry for
All you young cunts
Live it now 'cause there ain't much to die for
....
Face front you got the future
Shining like a piece of gold
But I swear as we get closer
It looks more like a lump of coal

@iwantcompletecontrol The Clash blows. They always tried too hard to be cool....instead, they come off like a trio of downer geeks with guitars. I don't think they believed in anything other than "The world is coming to an end.".....and, who wants to listen to that?!! Ian Hunter and Mott make you want to take a bite out of life, while the Clash is just standing in a puddle of piss.

@emidore LOL chill out. If you don't like the Clash that's fine, don't be such an ass about it. Secondly, you obviously don't know anything about them if you think they believed that "the world is coming to an end." They're not the Sex Pistols. The Clash were actually pretty idealistic and believed in bringing out the best in people to stand up for injustices and do something about their crappy lives (not like the Pistols, who were the ones who sang "no future for you"). Anyways, to each his own
iwantcompletecontrol 3 months ago
@emidore By the way, if you came to that judgment based on the lyrics I quoted, you should know that that song is about how they met, how they worked hard as a band, and some of the frustrations/perils of signing to a major label. You mention "taking a bite out of life" yet think their music wasn't about that... so clearly you don't listen to their songs. Regardless, I'm not here to "spread the message" about the Clash. I was only commenting about a song with a similar title, that's all.
