This era of Sweet was not my older sister's version. This was the borderline heavy metal Sweet that I really liked. I cannot dispute so many of you here that "this isn't Sweet" or "no Brian, no Mick, no Steve, no Sweet" attitude, but at this point, Brian was no longer able to perform coherently, Steve had moved to the U.S., and Mick had recently left. Andy was smart for turning to a hard rock sound for the band, as the musical climate had blown the lighter rock sound Sweet had been known for out of favor with the general public. McNulty had been playing with the band for some time, had the hard rock vocal chops, and he was a huge step over Adam Ant/Peter Gabriel lovechild Paul Mario Day. This sure wasn't "classic" Sweet, but it was Sweet who changed with the times. Peace, John
@@metalmanchild1454 much appreciated, Scott. About every week or so I still watch the classic lineup doing Fox, Hellraiser, and the other big hits, but these videos rock so damn much 🤘
@@alfredoperri6158 no I didn't, it was poor planning on my parents part. If they had gotten a little busier about 5 or 6 years sooner I might have had the opportunity LOL
Love it! No complaints here. If it sounds great, it’s ok to say so. Thank you Andy Scott for continuing the spirit, the heart, and signature musical entertainment of Sweet going here.
This is brilliant. The way those backing vocals are all blending together is the best I've ever heard. Coke can routine is awesome as was that drum solo.
Starý a super 100%SWEET,nikto na celom svete nenahradí!!! Sú moje mladí a všetko na svete!!Dúfam, ze mi zahrajú aj niečo tam hore v nebicku!Sweetaci moji,tesim sa!!!!!!##
F******g excellent !! Equal to the best of Deep Purple. What a song and what a tight band. Andy is very impressive with that guitar. A real pleasure )))
This song originally came out about '75 .They never played it on the radio. If they only had I would have been a die hard Sweet. One of the best hard rockin songs ever in my book. Damn the radio for not having any foresight. I love this song. Critics as well have proven worthless. This song still is a Rock- Out . I heard Ballroom Blitz enough to kill a horse.
LOVE the sound, LOVE the ALL OVER THE STAGE "drum solo" !! been a fan since the early 70's and we just can't have that except the recordings & some videos, AND AS FAR AS i CAN SEE & HEAR, this is one helluva performance! \m/ \m/ Long Live SWEET (even IF it's just one original member!)
I realize this is not the original Sweet I grew up with but it's the true spirit of Sweet and a terrific tribute to my hero's that brought this kind of take no prisoners to the scene with Desolation Boulevard. I think the former and deceased members would approve.
Да!!!!! Вот это легендарная песня, это же мелодик-спид-метал! Кай Хансен говорил об этом! Он из-за этой песни создал Helloween. Это они родоначальники этого жанра с одной песней!
Out of all the off shoots using the name, this sounds best. The guitarist's high harmony really made the Sweet sound. I miss the phase shifter on guitar solo.
Does anybody else feel like Andy is doing his best "Nigel Tufnell impersonates Andy Scott" impersonation here? Regardless, I love this version of the song!
Saxon's version was the first I heard and thought it was their original. I friggin' love theirs the best! But, I suppose it depends on which version you heard 1st as to which you might like. I was only 6 when Sweet brought out Ballroom Blitz, which I believe Set Me Free is off of the same album, Desolation Blvd.
We used to listen to Sweet in school when we had something called "fun friday" the boys wanted to listen to Sweet and the girls wanted to listen to some sappy shit, this was 76 or so, before they started to fall apart. The album Desolation boulevard and the song Man with the golden arm made me start to play the drums. These riffs Mick was doing in Sweet actually influenced some guys to start another band called Accept, maybee u heard of them:) Be safe
" ОТПУСТИ !" Кляп из рубахи. Прикован ... Чувство - словно Голова на плахе… А может это Лишь игра? Отпусти ... Весь искусан псом, Охранявшим дом. Это все в реальности Не знаю - Буду ли освобожден? Отпусти ... Отпусти. Освободи от мук… Взят был силком Тобой в доме том. Ложе брачное вдали… Знаю, Я - мертвец почти… Отпусти ... Отпусти. Освободи от мук… Искры в мозгах, Жжет дикий страх. Своим клеймом отметь, Но не бросай Здесь в темноте… Отпусти ... Святошу (cвященника) зови - Я жив еще внутри, В сознании пока, Но скоро буду Не краше мертвяка… Отпусти… Отпусти. Освободи от мук…
This tune was written in 74, I'm pretty sure its the first song ever recorded in this speed metal style, people fail to see this, hundreds of bands copied this style including Judas Priest. Andy Scott still kicks ass!!!
No, Priest never did speed metal. They did some prog stuff and a bit of new wave influenced music though, as well as a NWOBHM sound. Also, this song wasn't speed metal either originally. It was just heavy metal. This version is sped up from the original on the album.
@@camerondodge2070 Of course Judas tackled speed metal. Exciter, Call the Priest, Genocide(live1979) and Dissident Aggressor are indisputably prime examples of them pulling it off. And those songs were pre-NWOBHM too.
@@camerondodge2070 Ignore. Keep reading if you want. Just throwing out some history. Their first album is the only and I mean, ONLY example of prog in their discography; and to their credit, all those songs were throwaways written by the previous vocalist, Al Atkins. If it weren’t for Gull records, Rocka Rolla would not exist. The prog element was issued by the label.
great version of andys classic mal on vocals sings with slade now.drummer bodo scoph and keys and guitar steve mann were in micheal shenkers band not forgetting jeff brown on bass who went to sing in sweet for a few years great band sweet go deep purple on of there best songs.
Such a fantastic group that my father introduced me early in me early days. What a delight it was to watch their concert here in Brazil a few years ago.
Aussie Outlaw Of course that is. Andy cartões on with Sweet since 1985, and back Then the band was called only Sweet. He Just changed the band's name to andy Scott's Sweet when Mick left the band. And then switched again to The Sweet when he died.
Funny Haita, my mother had the 45 single of Ballroom Blitz back in the 70's when I was only a little kid too. I played it OVER AND OVER on my little portable record player she gave me. The B-Side of Ballroom Blitz was a song called Restless which I just loved! Every time I hear these songs, I feel like I've actually traveled in time back to my bedroom in the mid 70's! Ahhh, the good old days!
Recuerdo a mi tío quien ya tiene 50 años poniéndome a ver este vídeo en VHS en el 95 , contándome que era su banda favorita de todos los tiempos y que tenía un Vinilo de ellos ( The Sweet la Versión americana extendida del Sweet Funny Adams del 74) en él estaba esta canción ! Me di cuenta que Iron Maiden, Helloween, Gamma Ray, Running Wild, Ed Guy , Stratovarious y todos los que popularizaron el power metal a finales de los 80s y comienzos de los 90s, TODOS venían de acá !!!!! Por siempre Sweet
Yeah, I know....Brian and the "classic" Sweet. But this is a good song and the singer is great and they are not trying to imitate something no longer in existence. I'd rather have it this way than continuously having to compare their smash hits sung a new lead singer to Brian's version. So, Kudos from me.
Michael Thomas "Mick" Tucker - the one and only original Drummer of this legendary band "Sweet" a.k.a. "The Sweet" ! Fun Fact - Their album "Desolation Boulevard" was the first N.W.O.B.H.M. album - nearly 10 years before that sub-genre even had a name !
hölle geil. natürlich bis auf andy ohne die liebsten alten sweet.. aber hölle geil. und.. in der qualität kenne ich kaum original live aunahmen. mal das alte musikladending aussenvor...
ian. bodo the drummer on here and steve mann are x micheal shenkar bruce bisland was the drummer you saw has been with the sweet about 22 yrs has played for wildfire that had original iron maiden vocalist paul mario day who sang with the sweet in the 80s
Recently attended a show in Shepparton (regional Victoria -Australia) and they wowed us all, it was a great show for sure. Just wondering if the drummer on this video is the same guy in today's lineup.
