Love MtH and Ian solo but respectfully... if Jethro Tull can't get in, MtH doesnt have a chance.

100% agree! Mott The Hoople and then Ian Hunter!

Com'on. Procol Harum could not get in excerpt for the new category of single song, and you want Mott to get in? They didn't even write the song they were most famous for, and Mick Ralphs left because he was not happy with Ian Hunter's limited vocal range.

Legend, in all the band's he was a part of and Yes starting with the Hoop!

They were the most under rated band ever!!!

bath?

Gave me goosebumps

Yep! Me

not surprising since david bowie wrote and produced it, he gave the song to these guys as a gift.

Every. Single. Time.

Every. Single. Time.

Thanks for that very poignant expression. ✌🏼

Truly classic Rock at it's finest. Put 'em all in the R&R H0F I say!! 😁💚👍✌ CLE rocks.

Gladly, Bowie wrote it for them, during a sort of lull in their career. It gave them a much needed hit. One of the greatest rock anthems!

They didn’t write this song..David Bowie wrote the song and gave it to them…Fact

Well, Bowie doesn't since he's been dead.

Agree....100%

Yeah me too rock on bro

Eighty? Time flies faster than we think. I remember seeing him in 79 or 80 at the Spectrum in Philly. I was just out of high school and pushing sixty now. It's sad that this generation doesn't have any good music and a culture built around it. They'll never have the memories like we did.

I also can't believe 80, he sounded and looked great for 80. I think I saw him live in 88 at a large club in Mississauga (let's just say Toronto). I'm 59 and trying to remember if I saw him. I guess I was stoned and missed it in those wonderful 80's.

Go for it, Bro... Good to see you still going strong. From one fossil to another, YOU ROCK!!

Probably wearing sunglasses due to cataracts! My hats off to these Dudes!!!

@@maryjobrezny3702 He was known for wearing them from the 70's.

Amen to that.

God rest David bowie

Don't forget Overend...

As are we all. What a wonderful experience it was to have lived in the 1970s. Awesome that so many of us are still here. Long may you live!

@@richardscott3724 right back at you, darlin!💜💜💜

Loved my life in the 70s

It’s the memories they gave us that hopefully will live forever 🤘🤘

@@jimf.1054 Yes! indeed. I was trying to imagine life during the 1940s, 50s and 60s -that prevailing sense that death and world destruction was at the garden gate. For me, any song that can rise above that kind of curse is golden :) Maybe that's what the 1970s were about, to some degree...

You young uns and your cell phones...📱📱📱😄

Me and my dudes use One of the Boys for our brotherhood ring tones

Total respect for you Colin! brilliant stuff

Thank you Tina

Btw. Someone stole Ian’s suade jacket at the R&R Heaven show.

I saw him in 81 as well for his Short Back N Sides tour, it was a great show!

He's an absolute class act.

I'm a dude yeah.

Jon, you are absolutely right. Also, one of my favorite songs. 💜

First time I heard this amazing song was at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert in 1992 and I’ve loved it ever since, especially that performance

@@jdooris83 What a Great Introduction to Dudes. Ian Hunter Mick Ronson David Bowie Queen Joe Elliot & Phil Collen of Def Leppard. They Crushed It.

Bowie MADE them. Great song, anyone know another off the album? (without looking it up) hahahaha.

@@user-ve1er3sc8j All the way from Memphis!

@@user-ve1er3sc8j Saved, not made. Please get it right.

@@jonnyringo3 Bowie is little recognized for his impressive contributions to music. To think that the same year he was recording and working on Transformer by Lou Reed and Raw Power by The Stooges, in addition to beginning the recordings of Aladdin Sane and finishing those of Ziggy, all in a matter of months, a genius that sometimes is not remembered as such. Also save the career of Lulu or Tina Turner, he discovered Luther Vandross or Stevie Ray Vaughan, he got the band Devo a contract with Warner, among many other things...

@@OnlyGoodMusic_ Even less recognized is Mick Ronson's contribution to Transformer and All the Young Dudes, the man who actually fulfilled the role of "producer" to both of those recordings. By the time Raw Power was realized, Bowie had too much on his plate, and therefore that record was compromised in a sense, though not before producing an iconic recording. Luther Vandross's appearance on Young Americans could also be credited to Bowie's new guitarist (at the time) Carlos Alomar. None of these comments detract in any way Bowie's impressive run back in 1972... I only took issue with the flippant comment that Bowie MADE Mott the Hoople, and yes, there are many fans that could name all of the songs on All the Young Dudes as well as the rest of their catalog.

Ian hunter ....top guy lived in a flat in swan hill Shrewsbury before it all got crazy 🍺

First time I heard this beauty was at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert with Ian, David, Mick Ronson and Joe & Phil with Queen which I still love today

@@jdooris83 I saw Queen back up Mott the Hoople in 74

@@gordonbgraham bet that was a great gig, who knew what the future had in store for Queen

@@jdooris83 I’d never heard of them before then. I think Queen 2 had just been released. That was really their heavy rock stage. They were awesome. I went straight out and bought Queen 1 and 2 after that show. The same year I went to see the New York Dolls at the same venue, Massey Hall. They had some unknown backup band as well. After that Mott show I made sure not to miss the backup band. The Dolls backup that night was some other New York band that no one had ever heard of...Kiss. One of the better backup bands I’ve ever seen was The Waterboys who backed up U2 in the early 80s when U2 was still doing small venues. Great memories!

UNDERRATED BAND

Right there with you, Ian is my rock and roll hero!

Me too.💗

That was Brian May then I wasn't sure.

Actually it was Mick Ronsons guitar solo originally_check out David Bowie he wrote it

No, Mick Ralphs played it before Ronson! Bowie did his version after Mott

Bowie wrote “All the Young Dudes.”

Me too ! Same age same line up ! Peace my fellow survivor , now a thriver.......

Blimey Laura, you're even older than me - (only Just !) Like you, I also bought "Electric Warrior", as I just adored the 45rpm single, "Jeepster" My vinyl-album was (IIRC), a later issue, on the "FLY/CUBE" record-label - image on reverse-side BTW - My mate's brother (also named Ian), sold me the album "MOTT" for just 50p - (laughable)

Me too

My first Album was electric warrior, too. I still like it.

this song is written by bowie

I think Bowie writing All the Young Dudes is common knowledge, Ian Hunter has written 100’s of songs, truly most underrated songwriter in rock, he’s a favorite of musicians & people who know music.

He and Iggy Pop "The only survivors of the Davy Jones Mainman Gang". I would not have thought.

@@borisbrosowski6630 I get shivers watching this. So much history connected to this song.

Not long after this induction he suffered a very strong tinnitus - and cannot sing or play any more. Even Ian had to pay his tribute to rock'n roll (((

Top 5 fo sho...great tune

@@georgeobrien3659 Every man and his dog knows this song was written by Bowie. Certainly every audience member should know that.

@@georgeobrien3659 David bowie wrote it specifically for them. He was a big fan and he wrote it for them right when they were about to break up.

@@georgeobrien3659 It was recorded & made famous by Mott, written by Bowie. Get over yourself. They performed this at the HoF Show because Mott the Hoople is Joe's favorite band.

OMG yes! And she's 61 years...young!!

Susanna looks better than 35 years ago

No idea why she was there but she's still HAF.

@@jaykay6387 = 100,000% in agreement !!!!!!

I saw Mott open for KISS in '75. Saw Ian twice, but never got to see Mott the Hoople.

Love Mick Ralphs.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_the_Young_Dudes

Yes , mick is in the top five greatest guitarists of all time .

bowie wrote it, produced it and sang backup vocals on it, he gifted the song to them, he also recorded the song himself years after the mott the hoople recording.

I agree … 76 yo

Bowie wrote this

this song is written by bowie

Dude - 'All the Young Dudes' wasn't released until 1974.

@@ziggsstar 1972

and Freddy Mercury

the weird thing is most people have no idea david bowie wrote the song and produced it and sang backup on the studio recording of it, most people think its just a dude who sounds like bowie

Time to induct Ian Hunter into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist!

Dude - why would you say that? He's been performing that at his shows for the past 50 years. Aside from Cleveland Rocks, it's his most identifiable song to the causal rock fan. Real fans know better. If you knew anything about him and it really pissed him off - he would have stop playing it decades ago.

Yeah must be shit singing the song that saved his career

MTH were on the point of breaking up when Bowie gave them ATYD. No ATYD, no MTH. So he's probably not pissed off.

😿

amen!

Yes, but "All the Young Dudes" was Mick Ralphs, who did one more album (Mott) before forming BadCo

He's 80 here and looks 20 years younger.

Me too!

Yeah Mr Bowie is great

Not many around who saw them live. I saw MTH in Toledo touring to promote The Hoople in the 70s. Kansa opened. Then I saw Ian with Ronson promoting All American Alien Boy late 70s. 2 incredible concerts.

December '73. I was there. Support act was Queen. I was 15 at the time and the sister of a guy in my class at school worked at the Odeon. We could get tickets for anything.

@@agnostic47 So cool!!!. I saw Elton John at the Odeon as well and a few other acts around London like the Stones and the Faces. Terrific concerts. Great times. Take care.

All the Way from Memphis!

MAN, is she EVER. WOW!!!!!

Hard to believe she and Joe Elliott are the same age. Susanna is actually several months older.

Communist but nice piece of ass

And Queen opened the show! That nite in St. Benard, it was special.
