[@marcstevens8576]

@@suchabadkitty1293 I respect your opinion, as Paul was a better vocalist than Ian was, however, I must put it in the words of Mick. "Had I known how influential we were to become, I never would have left". He was talking about their early years, before they became Glam Rock & how their songs influenced the later Punk Rock of the late '70's & early '80's. Nothing against Bad Company, as I liked their hits & Paul's voice. Only my opinion....

[@walterpewen7903]

When Mott hit the States in 74 really went over huge. We all were into them.

@@chasbodaniels1744 True. He stormed out of the hotel in Germany and bent car ariels as he walked down the street. Enter Luther Grovesner of Spooky Tooth ,who were the opener for Mott.

[@rustar00]

I saw them in Atlanta during this tour. I recall Ian wearing a white suit. This to me was their pinnacle. As genuine an article as there ever was.

[@curly_wyn]

This is what rock n’ roll is to me: theatrical, teary-eyed, over-the-top and larger than life. The fact that Ian Hunter was much older than his contemporaries in rock (being born in 1939), and the fact that he had a much more pragmatic and mature POV about the rock n roll life, knowing it probably wouldn’t last long makes this very bittersweet.

[@WiltshireBooks]

I played the Hell.Out.Of.This.Song. Ian's words are as caustic then as now. It's one of those things, they struggled and almost called it quits when David Bowie ( a fan ) wrote All The Young Dudes, and of course fame followed and with it problems. It was overwhelming and it's reflected in the lyrics. "You look like a star but you're really out on parole...

[@MacDaddyRico]

It was the Golden Age Of Rock And Roll, and I was One Of The Boys, a Whiz Kid... Me and All The Young Dudes would drive All The Way From Memphis to play regular Saturday Gigs at a place called the Angel Of Eighth Avenue...
