Mott The Hoople - Violence : see related link below .
1975-"Mott" opened for KISS, at least they did in Richmond, Virginia. However, "Mott" were not Mott the Hoople. MTH broke up in 1974 with the defection of frontman Ian Hunter. The original drummer (Dale "Buffin" Griffin) and original bass player (Overend Watts) continued as simply "Mott" for 2 years after Hunter left. By July of 1974, 3 of the 5 original members of Mott the Hoople had left the band. Keyboardist Verden Allen, guitarist Mick Ralphs (who formed "Bad Company") and as mentioned Ian Hunter. Griffin and Watts hired a new guitarist and a new frontman, and along with (Mott the Hoople's replacement of Verden Allen) Morgan Fisher they toured simply as "Mott" from 1975 thru 1976 or '77. In concert they were a powerful band playing both original material as well as older MTH material. When I saw the Mott/KISS concert, many in the audience afterwards felt Mott were the better band, but it was the theatrics of KISS that stole the show.
Ian Hunter is 70 years old. He was born on June 3, 1939.
If I viewed the ad you're referring to, it is actually Mott The Hoople's All The You Dudes, which does have a Beatles vibe.
