- Ian Hunter BBC Breakfast interview broadcast live 11 October 2012 , on the eve of his Rant Band Touer on back of new When I'm President. Sounds as jet lagged as he says he is!
I adore him! A proper old fashioned rock 'n roll star and an absolute legend.
Lol...I live in Connecticut
Ian, thank you for all the years of good ole Rock and Roll
Mott The Hoople
with Queen as a show opener was the best show ive ever gone too. and ive been to 100`s of shows over the years. Thanks Ian!!!
I would have loved to see that.
He is one of my all time heroes. Still the essence of cool. Love ya Ian!
Will always be one of my favorites!
Everybody's got their favorite "cult" band/singer. You know, those that aren't the Beatles, the Stones, Kanye, whoever...Ian Hunter has been my guy for on 50 years.
Through the highs and lows -mine and his - his words and music go to the very center of my Rock&Roll soul! Rock on all!😎😁😎
Just seeing this in 2021. They were not scruffy. They were super cool. Also David Bowie was a friend of theirs and a Mott the Hoople FAN. Interesting how the British interviewers unfortunately feel the need to be snide...And they did not break up. Hunter left to form HunterRonson band and the band continued as Mott/British Lions...No one will remember these two. Everyone will remember Mott the Hoople. Rest in Peace Dale and Pete. Rock on Ian Hunter.
Known for being a proper rocker, but he was also an excellent balladeer. That "The Hoople" LP was one of their best, imo. IH is currently 84 years young
Ian is one of the best.
Classic 2970s Hunter was so so original and looks amazing in his 70s 😎😎
Thomas Eaves he looked amazing last Friday.
Well done for putting this up.. Was already out the house when it came on.. Brilliant
75 years old in 2014. Remarkable.
I loved the way that he said fans would nick a bike or a car to get to their next gig. My musical tastes go toward prog but I always considered Mott the Hoople my working man's band.
A fucking legend!
Thanks for posting this little gem. Ian is a living legend and I can't wait to catch his show in Bath very soon. Fantastic new album.
It's great that he still speaks like he just got off the bus from Oswestry despite decades in the US! Never done a duff record yet, and some real corkers like "You're Never Alone with a Schizophrenic"
I love that he sings with his English accent.
Ian you are a legend,..... when are you going to have an “Audience with.. Ian Hunter”......????
Had the great privilege of 150 people personnel concert in a small place in Capistrano Calif ,small personnel and unforgettable,,I grew up top hats and coats long hair rockinrollers, thanks Ian for the music,,jammed on American alien boy just today,,,the your music is timeless, thanks again,,,61 and still rocking California kid!
Loved him with Mick Ronson!
All the Young Dudes was a fine album, but Moot the Hoople was EXCEPTIONAL prior to that - especially Brain Capers.
both great albums but "Mott" takes the cake easily for me.
Bowie damn near ruined Mott but he did dissuade them from breaking up, so good on him!
Eric Campbell Yup... the marketing turn to glam was Not Mott - a straight ahead tock band...
One of the best front men ever.
ian hunter....happy birthday to you....loved you for years!!...born 3rd june 1939!
Always and still... a class act, damn, and this was 2012? Well, Connetticut has some beautiful country, and I bet Mr. Ian has found him a pretty sweet spot too, you know they always talk about bowie and the ATYDudes cut, yet that lp is loaded with cuts that are way equal to if not better, but the tactful man whos music ive come to love remaims quietly modest while putting up with stupid young people's erroneous comments, just a really down to earth man that...."Loves American music",...hes got to be near 80 now, and I sure do hope and pray that he and all his family are doing well, thanks for the post, greetings from Jacksonville, FLA. !
I really regret not seeing Mott 2019 now. My friends had 2nd row.
Ian Hunter must to be nºONE in Brittish Rock Hall of Fame
Also John Lydon always cites Mott the Hoople as a major influence on Sex Pistols but Ian did play up to it for a time saying they released the first punk album years before punk and the New York Dolls cited Brain Capers as a major influence and so the link with punk was born.
Possibly the most bullshit-free rock'n'roller ever...love him
Those two have presented that show since time began. Same sofa as well by the looks of it.
His performance at the Freddie Mercury tribute (with Bowie, Mick Ronson, and Queen) was magic. The lady here is hot, by the way.
Love his solo stuff more than MTH.
from Mott The Hoople to World War One, that's breakfast TV.
Sensible dude...
Too cool
He's 80 next week.
I'm not surprised Bowie offered Suffragette city because it sounded too close to Under my wheels by Alice Cooper, Bowie always hated being compared to Cooper; probably because his "Ziggy" character and band were obviously influenced by the Alice Cooper group.
Bowie was on another level way above Alice cooper
So patronising, but he handles it great
Suffragette City... _"an average rocker"_ ??
Telling how he'd never ever get anywhere near the sort of genius of that 'average rocker'.
Ian.Sounds.and looks like Jimmy.saville how's about.that
Scruffy? My arse!!!
ciggy voice......sad
that female presenter is awfull doesnt have a clue shouyld be sacked
that geezer dude as well. Probably still going strong.
Hunter was too much of a diva
It’s a shit business!
Ann Wilson said she had an affair with him years ago, eewwwwwwwww!
Who's Ann Wilson?
