@mikemoviez I was a fan when Trapper and Henry Blake weee 2 of the main characters also got a kick out of Frank Burns later seasons didn’t hit me the same way
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.
