“Hilarious”: Queen were the best band Mott the Hoople ever toured with

“Hilarious”: Queen were the best band Mott the Hoople ever toured withAll roads lead to Rome, but all the roads of British rock back in the 1970s invariably led back to the glam rock stylings of Ian Hunter and Mott the Hoople. Mott the Hoople toured with various artists over the years, some of whom went on to become rock stalwarts in their own right, and some who quickly succumbed to obscurity. Looking back upon their touring history, though, you’d be hard-pressed to find a support band better than Queen. “Out of all of Mott’s support bands, we got on with Queen the best,” Ian Hunter once shared, per Classic Rock. Still, Mott the Hoople recognised the otherworldly power of the group from their very beginning.
