Nevertheless, their nasty fusion of heavy metal, glam rock, Mott The Hoople and Ian Hunter: All the Young Dudes - The Biography Bob Dylan 's sneering hipster cynicism provided the groundwork for many British punk bands, most notably the Clash. However, their lack of success meant that they inevitably splintered apart in the '70s, with Ralphs forming Bad Company and Hunter launching a cult solo career. Early inthe band added vocalist Stan Tippens and landed a record contract with Island Atlantic in the U. By the summer, Tippens was fired, later becoming the band's road manager, and was replaced by Mott The Hoople and Ian Hunter: All the Young Dudes - The Biography Hunter. Their eponymous debut album was released in the fall of and became an underground hit, known for its fusion of Blonde on Blonde -era Dylan and heavy metal, its straight cover of Sonny Bono 's "Laugh at Me," and its pounding instrumental version of the Kinks ' "You Really Got Me. Despite all of the attention Mott the Hoople received, it didn't sell well and neither did its poorly reviewed follow-up, Mad Shadows. The band returned in with the country-tinged Wildlifewhich was its least popular record to date. Despite their lack of sales, Mott the Hoople had gained a cult following in Britain through their constant touring. At a concert at the Royal Albert Hall in Julythe band sparked a mini-riot that led the venue to ban rock concerts Mott The Hoople and Ian Hunter: All the Young Dudes - The Biography a number of years. More than any of their previous releases, Brain Capers demonstrated the band's live power, but when it failed to sell, the group was prepared to disband. Just as the band was about to split, David Bowie intervened and convinced the group to stay together. Riding at the height of his Ziggy Stardust popularity, Bowie agreed to produce Mott 's next album and offered "Suffragette City" for the bandmembers to record. They refused the song, asking for "Drive-In Saturday" instead. They eventually settled for "All the Young Dudes," which became the group's breakthrough hit. An explicitly gay anthem recorded by a heterosexual band, "All the Young Dudes" became the anthem for the glam rock era, becoming a number three hit in the U. An album of the same name was released on Columbia Records in the fall, and it became a hit in the U. Allen left the band before the recording of the group's follow-up to All the Young Dudesciting Hunter 's reluctance to record his songs. A concept album about a rock band struggling for success, Mottreleased in the summerexpanded the band's success, receiving good reviews and peaking at number seven in Britain and number 35 in America. While the bandmembers were finally experiencing the success that they had desired, the group was beginning to fall apart. He was replaced by former Spooky Tooth guitarist Luther Grosvenorwho changed his name to Ariel Bender upon joining the band; keyboardist Morgan Fisher also joined the group. The new lineup toured in lateand the concerts were documented on 's Mott the Hoople Live. The live record was released after The Hoople appeared in the spring, peaking at 11 in the U. Within a few months, Hunter and Ronson left the band to begin working as a duo. The new incarnation Mott The Hoople and Ian Hunter: All the Young Dudes - The Biography the group released Drive On and Shouting and Pointing to little attention before adding John Fiddler as their lead singer and changing their name to British Lions. They split up two years later. Though the allegiance between Ian Hunter and Mick Ronson was short-lived, it was well-received and the two would continue to sporadically work together until Ronson 's death in Hunter pursued a moderately successful solo career, highlighted by his eponymous album and 's You're Never Alone with a Schizophrenic.

Ian Hunter (singer) - Wikipedia Just at the moment Mott the Hoople were calling it a day, David Bowie swooped in and convinced them to stick around. Bowie spearheaded an image makeover, urging them to glam Mott The Hoople and Ian Hunter: All the Young Dudes - The Biography up. He gave them a surefire hit with "All the Young Dudes," had them cover his idol's "Sweet Jane," and produced All the Young Dudesthe album that was designed to make them stars. Lo and behold, it did, which is as much a testament to Bowie 's popularity as it is to his studio skill. Not to discount his assistance, since his production results in one of the most satisfying glam records and the title track is one of the all-time great rock songs, but the album wouldn't have worked if Mott hadn't already found its voice on Brain Capers. True, Dudes isn't nearly as wild as its predecessor, but the band's swagger is unmistakable underneath the flair and Ian Hunter remains on a songwriting roll, with "Momma's Little Jewel," "Sucker," and "One of the Boys" standing among his best. The entire band was on a roll here, turning out great performances and writing with vigor. They may not be as sexy as either Bowie or Bolanbut they make Mott The Hoople and Ian Hunter: All the Young Dudes - The Biography for it with knowing humor, huge riffs, and terrific tunes, dressed up with style by Ziggy himself. No wonder it's not just a great Mott record -- it's one of the defining glam platters. AllMusic relies heavily on JavaScript. Please enable JavaScript in your browser to use the site fully.

Sea Diver Ian Hunter. Ian Hunter Biography | Ian Hunter Dot Com Mott The Hoople were one of the seminal British rock bands of the early 70's. Insome 24 years after their demise they still had a loyal and fanatical following, so it was surprising they hadn't been covered in any great depth in the printed media. But then came the 3-CD Anthology and this biography. This, the definitive biography of Mott The Hoople and their vocalist Ian Hunter, finally puts that right. Written by long-time fan Campbell Devine, this book Mott The Hoople and Ian Hunter: All the Young Dudes - The Biography been some six years in the making. Campbell has wisely avoided recycling old press clippings but has instead interviewed all the Mott The Hoople and Ian Hunter: All the Young Dudes - The Biography of Mott The Hoople. The result is an entirely fresh treatment of the subject, and for that he is to be commended. Running to some pages of close type, this book is no lightweight but is absolutely fascinating from start to finish. It traces the early pre-Mott careers of all band founder members, through their time at Island, their meeting with Bowie and the switch to CBS, the rise to international stardom and on to their break-up, their subsequent careers up to the present day. Fresh insights are provided into various aspects of Mott's career including much-debated topics such as Mott's break-up at the end ofIan's relative inactivity during the 's, and the chances in the late 90's of a fully-fledged reunion. It seems there is something on every page I didn't know before, so thorough is Campbell's research. This book is the most comprehensive work on the subject, and could well be the most detailed book written about any band. Although they were interviewed extensively for the book, following publication both Dale Griffin and Overend Watts disowned the book and were scathing about it and the author. There are supposedly mistakes that they'd hoped would be corrected prior to publication and they felt the book concentrated too much upon Ian, making it more of a hagiography than a true biography. The book's author is clearly a fan and there is certainly a treasure trove of facts and trivia here, but he is not a professional author. Don Arden, Don Powell and Lemmy all used professional writers to assist their autobiographies, and if ever there is an updated edition I think such a move would be of benefit here.

  • Bad Company Biography
    BAD COMPANY BIOGRAPHY One of the most acclaimed bands of the classic rock era, England's Bad Company has put its indelible stamp on rock 'n' roll with a straight- ahead, no-frills musical approach that has resulted in the creation of some of the most timeless rock anthems ever. Led by the incomparable singer and songwriter Paul Rodgers, arguably the finest singer in rock 'n ' roll and a huge songwriting talent. Formed in 1973, Bad Company came to life when Rodgers was looking to start anew after the disintegration of his legendary band Free. His powerhouse vocals and songwriting were a main ingredient during Free's impressive five-year run; a period of time that saw the release of seven extremely influential albums that featured Free's minimalist blues-rock approach. Included among Free's dynamic body of work is the 1970 smash, "All Right Now," one of the most recognizable rock anthems ever recorded. Lyrics and melody by Rodgers. He was Free’s main songwriter. Rodgers had met Mott The Hoople guitarist Mick Ralphs and after jamming together and listening to new songs that Ralphs had penned and songs that Rodgers had penned, Ralphs made the decision to leave Mott and form a new band with Rodgers. The duo recruited former King Crimson bassist/vocalist Boz Burrell, added drummer Simon Kirke and Rodgers Christened the band Bad Company. Rodgers’ brought in Led Zeppelin manager Peter Grant and Bad Company became the first band signed to Zeppelin's Swan Song label. "I had to fight to get the management and the record company to accept the name Bad Company," explains Rodgers.

David Bowie’s urban landscapes and nightscapes: A reading of the Bowiean text 1 David Bowie’s urban landscapes and nightscapes: A reading of the Bowiean text Jean Du Verger “The Word is devided into units which be all in one piece and should be so taken, but the pieces can be had in any order being tied up back and forth, in and out fore and aft like an innaresting sex arrangement. This book spill off the page in all directions, kaleidoscope of vistas, medley of tunes and street noises […]” William Burroughs, The Naked Lunch, 1959. Introduction 1 The urban landscape occupies a specific position in Bowie’s works. His lyrics are fraught with references to “city landscape[s]”5 and urban nightscapes. The metropolis provides not only the object of a diegetic and spectatorial gaze but it also enables the author to further a discourse on his own inner fragmented self as the nexus, lyrics— music—city, offers an extremely rich avenue for investigating and addressing key issues such as alienation, loneliness, nostalgia and death in a postmodern cultural context.
