IAN HUNTER BAND - Once Bitten Twice Shy

[@pjpoirier3706]

Saw Mick Ronson in 1974 with Bowie and Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. When they did Moonage Dream I was blown away by .icks guitar!!

[@rosannehurley577]

2024, it still rocks and at 67 still love it. Hearing makes me feel young!

[@pjpoirier3706]

The radio stations need to play Ian Hunters original version of this song. Everybody thinks great white did this song. This a Ian hunter song. Love Ian. All the way from Memphis. Love Ian and Mott the hoople

P.J. Poirer; SPOT-ON U R!!!!! Great White's version SUCKS!!!! The original by Ian Hunter ROCKS!!!!!

[@aaronshane37]

@@billybandyk0720I never really thought GW’s version sucked (probably because I myself was a teen at the time and thought GW was the original artist)but I’m so glad I found this ORIGINAL version to rock out to! I’m now going to research Ian Hunter and learn more about him and his music! 🎶👍

[@billybandyk0720]

@@aaronshane37 Exactly my fuckin' point. 2 clarify matters; I do stand by what I said RE: Great White' version sucking. W/all due respect 2 Jack Russell's passing; it's probably the production of their version of this song that sucks. Nvrthlss; glad that u discovered the original by Ian Hunter. W/that said; R.I.H(eaven), Jack Russell.

You’re Never Alone with a Schizophrenic… one classic album, and an even better tour… especially with Mick Ronson at Ian’s side!!

[@mjrussell414]

I just found that in a lot of old LP’s my husband bought from an auction. I didn’t know who the guy was but pulled it out and put it into my “to listen to” pile because it looked interesting. Glad to know I made a good choice.

[@strictlynorton]

The tone on Ronno's Les Paul... no words really. So good to see him at his best and in great health. We miss you down here. Rest easy King!

[@bul166]

Ikr, it's unreal and so much is just in his hands. Few effects. Just a kickass classic guitar/amp & super rare talent!

I am hooked ! Love this song , just can not get enough . Nothing better than the original version by Ian Hunter . So cool music!

I won an album on a radio station back in the early 80's Ian Hunter Live and I didn't know this dude or his music but after listening to him I was hooked I still have the album a little worn but still sounds good. Thanks Ian HUNTER for the great music you play.

[@robertbrenneman5367]

Michael Valentas I have that album also 👌

[@ryanurban1]

Absolute anarchy from 2:10 on, the way it should be. Great White really ripped the guts right out of this tune. Thanks, Ian.

[@Brewzerr]

Yep. Great White aren’t fit to pluck the corn kernels from Hunter and Ronson’s turds. This is the real deal.

[@chrispetritsch4959]

'Allo.The 'Once Bitten,Twice Shy' single made the Top 10 in Australia.back in '76,or it may have just been in Melbourne.That'd make sense. Awesome groove,catchy as hell dirty,bluesy riff,and that perfect piano,pretty heavy for back then all up and the words and their delivery sleazy enough.Loved this song from the first time i heard 'Allo, onwards.Straight up grabbed me in a similar way to a fair few other English artists around that time.[Damn you English came up with some sensational music back then that's shaped my music life tremendously.]Took a few years to pick up on some of the double entendres on this,however.One of the numbers of songs that really whet my appetite as a just-about-to-turn-teenage kid.Ian Hunter is a legend rocker who was 77 when he made his most recent record,[i believe] Mate! You just gotta love,admire and respect that! Could think of worse ways to go out than with your Les Paul in your hands, still crankin' it out loud in your 80's or more. Way Worse!

[@misfit2022]

He says in interviews he can’t really hear those he has influenced but after the two minute mark I can see why The Clash were big fans and Mick Jones went regularly to see Hunter with Mott and there is the Ellen Foley connection but Ian Hunter also tells this story of letting in a broke skinny 14 year old called John in to a gig in the north somewhere via the back door who only turned into the legendary punk rock vocalist Joe Strummer.
