I'm sure most would say that Great White wrote this song but in fact it was Ian Hunter. I was reading comments at youtube and I presume those who were bad mouthing this song were those who had no clue that this was from the original Ian Hunter classic song!

Now wasn't there another Great White staple that was originally an Australian song too? Like by a different band not Matt The Hopple?

Great Vid, Wargod!

I LOVE Ian and Mott, and I used to play Once Bitten, Twice Shy with my Band (i.e. my family) about 10 years before Great White!!!

Some of my favorite Mott the Hoople albums are:
Mott
Mad Shadows
All the Young Dudes
LIVE
& The Hoople

Fav Ian Hunter albums are:
You're Never Alone with a Schizoidphrenic
& S/T

Ian recorded almost all of his solo albums with the late, great Mick Ronson from David Bowie's Ziggy era on guitar!!!

*side note* Mott the Hoople's All the Way to Memphis was the song that 1st got me crazy for Hard Rock and eventually Metal!!!

And actually a good album after Ian Hunter left is called Mott - Pointing And Shouting very cool album!

Cool Wargod, I have never heard any of the Post-Ian Mott!

Mott - Put out 2 albums after Ian left
"Drive on" and "Shouting and Pointing"
After a couple of member changes they became "The British Lions"
I saw "Mott The Hoople" With "Queen" opening for them in 1974.
I also saw "The British Lions" opening for "Alvin Lee".
Good Times, Great Music

OH! He is pretending to be young! HAHA! I just act immature myself!!!

WOW, I just noticed the age thing myself, I must have messed that one up!!
Actually I'm only 3 and a half years old (luney tunes quote)
I be 44 I be.
I think I was 10 because my very first show was Alice Cooper in Boston, Mass. 1973 and I was 9 years old, My sister and her boyfriend brought me, It was kind of a big deal with my folks. I was already running around the house with my eyes painted up all the time after I seen him on TV. I was quite a little freak and still am!
The only thing that I remember about The Hoople was "Dudes" and "Marionnette" Which was way cool.
The only thing I remember about Queen was that they were QUEER. (I wasn't on the train yet) Trog knows how I feel about Queen, They are very close to my heart.
They did "Hey Big Spender" That was cool.
I have also seen Ian a couple of times in the early 80's. Once with Heart and another time with The Kinks. He opened both shows.( With MICK !!)
NOTE TO TROG: I must have told you about that, C'mon.
My first formal Queen show was in 1977. They did "Millionaire Waltz".
That's another topic altogether.
That was back in the day when everybody used to come here and tickets were 7 dollars!!!
