  • @pez53 ya list was going well there .. until ya mentioned green day ..

  • The name is from a Willard Manus novel about a circus freak. There are some great bands now but back then the bands didn't have a slew of foot pedals and special effects so horns and background singers were hi-tech. Mott always rocked and died way too soon.

  • This is marvellous. Buffin wielding a pair of oars, mocking the lip synching they were forced to do, Ariel looking cool in his new persona, The Thunderthighs delightful and delighted, as they "Push, Push!", and Ian effortlessly commanding all. I wish the camera had been back a little farther to capture Ian's magisterial hand movements.

    Ahhh, what a band!

    -I'm a straight guy-but if I had to blow one of them it would be Ian. Cuz I am a lover of the punk/glam stuff I just like Ian's stuff better. I mean if you like punk you probably like Mott best and if you like metal you probably like Zeppelin best. Even tho Mott isn't punk and zep isn't metal. they helped lay the groundwork for those respective genres. I will say I think Robert would've been a great glam singer tho with all his moves on stage!

  • @dancetech Naw, they were called Thunderthighs

  • @Ballisticob He writes books too! - Looking at your grammar, I'd give that a miss. ar ar

  • @supercerealxxx Now now, don't be so down on your ears! OK they may stick out a bit, wear a beanie hat then! As for the song - absolute magic.

  • @v1m Depends what you like I suppose, Bowie gave away ATYD's for a reason perhaps? Not one of his better ones perhaps? (and doing IH a favour as he knew it would get radio play with his name attached. Personally I prefer this almost everything from the 1973 / 74 albums Mott and The Hoople over the Bowie track, and I love Bowie.

  • @f1dcfan, funny, that bit makes me chortle as well, I was gonna type the same thing, especially her in the red t-shirt, well cool

  • @dukeofcandoa I guess Thats how you spell this. With all do respect to Ian and his great music he is not even in the same league as Robert Plant. So what if has aged better? What are you saying subconsciously? That you would rather blow Ian than Robert?

  • I like it ! !

  • ian hunter looks the very same today as he did back in 73.
