Please bring the album to radio play in Alberta, Canada. I want to hear it more. I want everyone to hear the sweet. I want this album to be like it was when I was a kid.
Blockbuster was the first single I ever bought back in January 1973. I was 10 years old. They were the first band that I really loved....and still do to this day. Those batch of albums from 74 to 78 are as good as any of the so called supergroups of that era. Andy Scott remains one of my fav guitarists. He still has that sharp economic melodic sound he always had.
Love your comment, I was 10 in 1973. My first song was Little Willie. Andy Scott is also my favorite guitarist. I place bass guitar because of Steve. I roller skated to lots Sweet songs. Sweet brings me some great memories. I really love this Sweet lineup ❤
First of all, continued good health to Andy. He's right guys, don't be shy get checked out. Great interview Phil, I've posted my introduction to Sweet elsewhere and how it led to my love of the band. Hopefully we get to see them next year as there are no Scottish gigs lined up on their coming tour.
The Sweet were my first introduction to the world of pop / rock via Hell Raiser. Just wish Andy would title the band 'Andy Scott's Sweet' as the other original members were so vital to the band's success. I just can't watch this version as, without Brian Connolly their enigmatic lead singer, it is just not the same. However kudos to Andy in keeping the band going and wish him every success with the new album.
This was a great interview with Andy and I've been listening to the Sweet since I was a kid in the 1970's and I'll 60 next month have a great rest of the week Phil.🎶🎤🎸🎸🎹🥁🎶
Great interview Phil, like you I have been a fan of Sweet since I was a kid listening to my brother's albums. I always thought they were very underrated Looking forward to seeing them down here in Sydney in November. Will also check out the new album!
Great interview Phil... So glad U brought up " Burn on the Flame" 🔥 to Andy... (Too bad there wasn't time to discuss the greatness that is "Give Us a Wink" & " Off the Record" 😉)...
Great interview, so pleased Andy is healthy and still rocking. Last see The Sweet at London Lyceum in 1981, my 1st ever gig. Looking forward ro the new album 👍
My sister had the single Coco and she would dance in her room to it . A vinyl 7 inch single . It was just so , so very catchy . I am actually revisiting Sweet due to your enthusiasm Phil . It's also exciting to see someone of our " demographic " , I'll be 67 soon , showing so much enthusiasm for the music they are making 😂❤ Looking back on that Bowie , T Rex , Slade , Sweet with renewed interest . Thank you Phil , what a lovely bloke your interviewee is . One of your great interviews ❤😂
Only found last week my singles back , stuck away somewhere and not seen in 30 years . First single was Ballroom Blitz and I still have all those Sweet ones till Action . After that my interests in music shifted to Yes , Genesis , Pink Floyd and such , and I turned to LP's. Now at 65 , I bought again my very first Sweet albums ( Sweet FA & Desolation Boulevard ) , have again about 900 LP's , play cassettes , reel-to-reel , cd , sacd , downloads , bluray , I like all media as long it sounds ok. Reel-to-Reel is currently my favorite and so much better in dynamics than vinyl. Will certainly try that new Sweet album , I'm curious . thx !
Fox On The Run…..my first introduction to heavier rock….it’s was a nasty rockin tune for a 13 year old Canadian boy….! I’ll have to check out the new tunes!
Yes another grest informative interview, Phil. Top notch. A group of friends and i will be seeing therm here in Perth in November on their Australian tour. 🤟
Sweet, Slade, T Rex, Mud, Barry Blue, Roubettes, Hello, Racey, Kenny, Glitter Band, Bowie, Mott the Hoople etc brought light, music, energy and hope to millions in the dour industrialised 70s.
