My all time hero. So hoping I get at least one more chance to see Ian live after seeing him literally dozens of times in various countries. Loving Defiance Part 1. Shout out also to Andy York. He’s been a great friend to and collaborator with Ian and so have also seen him live often! God bless you and Trudie our Flying Scotsman. 🏴
Thank you Kyle so much! Love Ian always! I was secretly hoping you might ask him about being on Sun Records. The story of how and why etc. Thanks again man, great interview!
Whaddya mean "last" ??!! He's healthy and strong, got years to go. Although with his tinnitus, it'd have to be quiet, maybe unplugged. Maybe just him and a guitar and a piano. And a lot of stories. Now wouldn't that be a real treat?
Probably my favorite songwriter ever. Todd Rundgren number 2. “Don’t Tread On Me” is a masterpiece. I’d love to know if the lyrics are correct on iTunes. I hear the first line as: “Ain’t life for heavy burden, when you can’t get a word in?” Can someone confirm ?
Such a deep music library of great songs. I can listen to Spotify "This is Ian Hunter" with hours of music over and over and then fill gaps with individual Albums from both Amazon Music and Spotify. Looking for the missing tracks that doesn't get covered. Long term, I have almost all his & MOTs albums & CD. Seen him many times in NY area, all were special to me. Can't wait ti see him again in NY. Must get into the Hall-of-fame. Ian, although you said you don't like Over-Night-Angle. It is a great rocking song.
Ian you crack me up.... thank you for putting up with interviewers (this one not too bad) im 12 minutes in and its getting good now because of radio Luxembourg and Jerry Lee Lewis and a loner from a little country town.... retired now and making some time for "president" and "bed of roses" and "Pavlovs Dog" - thank you for so much great music, the last cd i bought was "Y-U-I-ORTA", and I was totally blown away, a real rocker, everything and then some, I could go on and on, the live LP with the medley finish, the way yall honored Buff and got him in the gig and playing "mott" and "the hoople" LP cuts like "the ballad of" and "marianette" and so many others.... ok im ramblin on, the ibuprofens starting to take effect, hope there are more upsides than downsides for you and your mates, cheers from NE FLA Jacksonville.
Ian H still working? He has an incredible back catalogue.. All the way from Memphis, Roll away the stone. All the young dudes. Once bitten twice shy. ... What a treasure,
i saw the Ian Hunter Band with Mick Ronson ( late '81; MR had a new short hair cut at this concert which seemed to fit him!)at the now defunct Wolf & Rissmiller's Country Club in Reseda CA(my childhood residence)...ʕ´•ᴥ•`ʔ ᶠᵘⁿ ᶠᵃᶜᵗ!🌳🌲🌴
It's funny Ian has been much more successful than Warren Zevon. They are very much alike, the UK and US versions of each other. I love them both very much, Ian Hunter's BOY is my all-time favorite song.
Very good comment! Ian perhaps less cynical/acerbic than WZ but there are similarities. Mott's bassist Overend was a huge WZ fan and turned me on to him back in the day!
Thank you for watching! If you liked it, PLEASE SUBSCRIBE! I’m posting three new interviews every week!
84 yrs old and still looking and sounding great
The most underrated rock God ever up there with Bolan and Bowie give him the accolade now not when he's gone!
The man just keeps writing great music.
Got to see Ian two nights in a row in 1979 when Ronno was still with us. Two of the best nights ever!!
My very favorite artist!🤘😎🤘
The new album is FANTASTIC!
Excellent interview with one of my favourite artists! Keep on rockin Ian!

Ian writing a song about his old school, brings to mind, Tim Martin, naming 650 pubs after his teacher, in New Zealand, Mr weather spoon!!.

Amazing Rock Artist, completely underrated, the real deal , no less. Hoping for 1 last Tour at 84 , please ....

I always thought Ian was the epitome of a rock and roll frontman! Attitude, charisma, and a fearless spirit.
