I was always more impressed by the songwriters. Nikki Chinn and Mike Chapman. They wrote most of the stuff for Mud, Sweet, Suzi Quatro etc.
A bit formulaic, but they did come up with some good foot-stomping rockers in their day ('48 Crash', 'Devil's Gate Drive', 'Blockbuster,' 'Ballroom Blitz,' 'Tiger Feet' and so on).
I didn’t know that, wasn’t Suzi from Detroit? That would explain the motor connection.Her dad designed and patented the first commercially viable four wheel drive system. Hence the stage name.
Be funny as fk,if he asked her address & she said devil gate drive..It will have been in the late 1980's and a mate of mine worked at the Dial a phone (remember them?) call centre
He was speaking to a customer who had an issue with her contract, he asked her name and she replied Suzie Quattro. He then asked her occupation and she said "rock star"
