Mott the Hoople needs to be in the Hall of Fame. Ian just turned 82 ffs-- he has done SO much in music history since the late 60's. Come on, two from the original band have left us-- induct them! NOW!
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.
I've had this song in my life for fifty years. As an eleven year old, I lived right out in the sticks. I had a tiny black transistor radio for company and I remember being out walking through a field of yellow blossoming corn, or rapeseed, I'm not sure..As I laid back on that burning hot day amid the flowers, this song came on....Life changer for me...Every single time I hear it, I get a little moist in the corner of my eyes. They don't wrtite them like that anymore,..do they..
Ian Hunter rocks. Saw him in 81 at University of Western Ontario with Mick Ronson. Awesome show awesome night. Saw him again at Rock and Roll Heaven in Toronto. Ian doesn’t need the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame. He’s a Hall of Famer in his own right
Bowie's arrangement and production on Mott's studio version of Dudes is pure genius. His anthem to the coming out movement of the early 70's is spot on.....
@@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.
Special thanks to Joe Elliot for all he had done for his Heroes Mick Ronson Ian Hunter and Mott the Hoople. And to share Def Leppard’s big night of being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with Ian Hunter & Brian May to play Mine and Joe’s Favorite Song of All Time Absolutely Amazing Thanks Again Joe
@@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...
Age 13 in '71...Bolan, Bowie, Ferry, Stones, Reed and then this after. 64 last week and listening transports me back in an instant. My first 2 albums were Electric Warrior and Ziggy. Music has gotten me through a lot of crap tines. Forever grateful. 🙏❤🙏
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)
"All the old dudes, playin this tu une, all the old dudes, playing this tune" 😂 love this, Ian Hunter sounds fantastic for his years, the great Brian May and the Def Leopard gang and all the backup singers, wonderful job all👍🏼✌🏼️
I met Ian at one of his shows in Chapel hill n.c a few years ago. Got to talk to him he posed for a few pictures with me and my wife, a real classy guy , one of the best song writers of all time..seen him in concert several times never disappoints .......live on Ian
Ian Hunter sung this at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert ...............Mick Ronson was on lead, but sadly passed the following year, Bowie was on Sax.......All my heroes slowly leaving us now !!!.......R.I.P...........
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.
@@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.
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 (((
I saw Mott The Hoople at the Fillmore East in 1971. Row RR @ $5.50! Up until that time Mountain was the Loudest Band I had experienced. Then Mott played their instrumental, "Thunderbuck Ram"....WOW!!! The Sound was more Physical than Aural!!!!!
No band ever deserved the title cult / legendary / than this lot . people still talk about them today {2021} .No one like them anybody who knows anything about music loves them . Long Live Mott the Hoople ........Im a dude dad !!!!
I bought All The Young Dudes while visiting my brother at Purdue University in 1971. Loved the title track and Sweet Jane, which was written by Lou Reed. In my opinion, Mott was there best album. Wish I could have seen them live. Thank you for channel’s like this, who care enough to develop stories like this. Blessings to you and your son. I just got done donating.
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... Pearl 'n' Roy always wanted us to play their favorite songs, like Ballad Of Mott The Hoople and Hymn For The Dudes, and we'd gladly oblige... The Foxy Foxy girls would always be there, dancing in the front row... I saw Sweet Jane up in the balcony wearing a sexy mini skirt...she truly is a Rock And Roll Queen...and when she bent over, I saw The Moon Upstairs... Laugh At Me if you want, but I've always been a Sucker for short skirts...They make me want to be a "Sea Diver" if you know what I mean... Yeah baby...I'm Ready For Love..!
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.
Bowie wrote the lyrics, yes, but Mick Ralphs composed the opening and closing guitar chords. Incidentally, Mick wrote "Can't Get Enough" and "Moving On", for Mott before defecting to Bad Company and taking the songs with him.
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.
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.
Ahhhh our kids will never know the joy of the 70s - the extremes from the 3 day week to early doors at 6 - all we had was pub and the hits. Feeling good on a Friday was a high time
Kick ass, most excellent, really an anthem... brings back the 70s when music was really good and had an uplifting purpose not trying to harm others with anger... push your agenda peacefully you'll gather more flies with honey than vinegar...
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
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’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!
I was 12 when this was released in 1972 and can remember it at every party my parents and friends had for years after a great track then and still now. Are you out there Walworth roaders come on lets hear you.
THANKS, for your precious music David Bowie and Rest In Peace where do you rest now, for this master-piece, this art-work, this song are fantastic, incredibled, amazing, dazzling, magnificent too much!!!
I am inspired by these individuals who epitomize true badasses. Their unwavering determination and strength are qualities that I aspire to emulate with confidence and determination.
Absolutely Mott the Hopple should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The Hall should be for Rock and Roll only. A lot of Rock bands don't make because of non Rock groups are voted in. Mott was Rock and Roll.
Ian Hunter wrote so many classic glam-rock tunes, it must piss him off that he had to play a Bowie composition for the HOF. Brian May proves once again that he is a master in every genre.
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.

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.
Anyone else get chills listening to this song?
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.
Bowie gave the song a form. Hunter and Mott the Hoople gave it substance. What a one-in-a-million match.
One of the greatest pop choruses ever written. God bless Bowie. Great performance !!!
Ian Hunter is still one of the greatest of all time in Rock n Roll.
Agree....100%
Truly awesome song,remember wen it came out, still rocks me today,another timeless classic, rock on forever
Yeah me too rock on bro
Ian Hunter rocks. Saw him in 81 at University of Western Ontario with Mick Ronson. Awesome show awesome night. Saw him again at Rock and Roll Heaven in Toronto. Ian doesn’t need the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame. He’s a Hall of Famer in his own right

Mick ronson and David Bowie did some amazing work together. I absolutely love bowie but we owe a ton of that great art to Mick as well.
amen!
Yes, but "All the Young Dudes" was Mick Ralphs, who did one more album (Mott) before forming BadCo
Saw Ian Hunter and his band open for The Kinks in Detroit 1979. GREAT show......
I saw Mott in St. Louis in 72 I think it was. Their Marionette Tour. Stilm one of my favorite shows. The opening act?? Queen.
Ian!!! Such a great thing to see and hear
Great being a young dude in the seventies fab song 🎵
Time refuses to touch Susanna Hoffs. Still stunning.
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
Great energy and singing.What more can you ask for in life--as a rock and roller--at age 79--than to be able to perform like that.
Mott the hoople!! I remember when this came out it was awsome then and its awsome now
once bitten twice shy......the golden age of r,and roll..so on.....
All the Way from Memphis!
Went to there concerts in the 70s had a grate time
No one played the intro to this song like Mick Ronson, but Brian May (who I love), did him proud.😊
Nice rendition of the Iconic Great British Rock Anthem.
One of the greatest songs ever. Thanks!
1st time with this def Leppard line up whats not to love about Mott the hoople. There overnight angels:)
Nice one. I loved that record which not a lot of us heard. Ha
On this Oct. 2nd morning thats exactly what I needed....they sound great...Ian hunter one my favs....

A fantastic Bowie song, and a fantastic piece of guitar work by our Brian x
