Mott the Hoople: Difference between revisions

[[File:Mott_the_Hoople_6273.jpg|frame]]

After the breakup, Ian Hunter did some solo work and later performed "All the Young Dudes" at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert with David Bowie and the surviving members of [[Queen]], while lead guitarist Mick Ralphs joined the [[Supergroup]] [[Bad Company]]. While their success was relatively short-lived, Mott the Hoople managed to be fairly influential; David Bowie, as has been mentioned, was a huge fan of the group, while Queen did their first American tour as their support act (inspiring the song "Now I'm Here").

* [[A Good Name for a Rock Band]]: Guy Stevens, who signed the band to Island Records and also named [[Procol Harum]], took "Mott the Hoople" from the title of an old novel about a circus freak.

* [[The Band Minus the Face]]: After Ian Hunter left, the band was much less successful.
