Quotes:
Mick Hucknall ("Red"): when I meet a girl after the show, I spend more time with her - take her out to dinner, and we get to know a little about each other. I don't fuck women, I make love to them. Submitted by: I Chase Redhead Girls!
| Mick Hucknall ("Red"): I know some critics and music journalists have these descriptive labels to describe what your band's style sounds like, but that can lead to some people saying that they listen to jazz or heavy metal and nothing else. Recently at Glasgow I saw a couple of guys in AC/DC T-shirts at the edge of the stage cheering, "Yeah, go Red!" That's what I like to see, people breaking barriers set up by these stupid fucking labels. Submitted by: I Chase Red Head Girls!

Jokes:

Band Name Origins:
- Saw a brief interview of the band before a concert many years ago, in which the interviewer asked Hucknall where they got their name. Hucknall replied "simply due to the fact that we are socialists" (red being the associated colour of solialism). Later claims that it is down to his hair colour comes from the fact that he is now extremely wealthy, which goes against the principles of Socialism. Loser. Submitted by: BigDog
- Mick Hucknell is a big Mnchester United support. (I saw him leave an interview early because he had to go to a Manchester United football match.) Manchester United lay in red and their supporters call themsleves 'Reds', Mick Hucknell, therefore, is a Red. This, along with his hair colour gives the bands name. ( Submitted by: Paulmarkj
