Tommy Lee of Mötley Crüe doing one of his crazy drum solos in the 80's.
The fact that he's probably high on a minimum of 3 substances and spinning in the air that fast while killing a drum solo like that… it's superhuman.
@KTrain939913 The move away from hard rock continues ever since Permanent Vacation I can’t listen to this version of the band , outside writers MTV and bad direction from management led to the pop rock version

📰 Mott the Hoople – Concert Advert
A bold, decorative concert advert bursts with mid‑’70s energy, framed by a floral border and the promise of a loud, electric night. The atmosphere is immediate and urgent — a show happening tonite, with Mott the Hoople headlining and Queen rising fast beneath them.
“TONITE — One Performance Only.”
“Mott the Hoople — with special guest Queen.”

📰 Once Bitten Twice Shy:
A stark, stylish half‑page promotion capturing Ian Hunter at his most enigmatic — hat brim low, sunglasses on, attitude unmistakable.
The advert radiates cool, self‑possessed swagger.
A moment where Hunter steps out from Mott the Hoople’s shadow and asserts his solo identity with sharp visual branding and a killer debut single.
It reflects the mid‑70s shift toward artist‑as‑icon imagery, where a photograph could communicate as loudly as the music.
