    Such an electric funny and honest man...read his book, are you ready Steve...it was just like him...Sweet was so ahead of their time, incredible vocal harmonies, each second of every song unique and captivating ....Brian's and Steve's voices together were gold

      @@streetcatscareandrescue Yes, gold... and as gold they were themselves. These two beings who in their youth had been breathtakingly beautiful, in the last years of their lives, had the courage and humility to show their weak and sick bodies as any of us in life might. Brian was trembling, walking with immense fatigue, Steve could no longer play except from a seated position. Yet in this pain they strove to give joy to others. In the face of this, you realise that what was an extraordinary physical beauty is nothing compared to that of their spirit...

    I was a baby when the Sweet were in their prime. I was turned on to their music by a friend of a friend. When I hear their music, it's like gold to my ears. Though I never got to see them play live, I was fortunate to get Steve's book personally autographed with my name in it. Steve is an icon and a legend and I'm grateful for what he, Brian, Mick, and Andy contributed to in music. The Sweet were one of a kind, talented and truly amazing. Rest in power Steve, Brian, and Mick.

    I've been a fan of The Sweet since Desolation Boulevard. So I clicked on this. I think it is hilarious that anyone on earth thinks A.I. is going to make the world better. I mean who ever heard of a teenager making his on bass (fish)?

    Sweet schon 1974 ihrer Zeit weit voraus. Hört Euch das sehr relevante Album "Sweet Fanny Adams" an. Hammer Hard Rock Nummern !! Teils verrückter als Deep Purple oder Led Zeppelin zwischen 1974 /75/76/77. Die Zeit vorher, war eben halt softe Glitzer und Bubbelgum Mitgeh Musik. However... Sweet sind geil und zeitlos. Als "Action" oder das irre "Turn it down" rauskam ,war ich glaub 5 Jahre jung. Mutter holte mich zum Musikladen nach 22 Uhr aus dem Bett. Dann lief "Teenage Rampage"..... Habe Sweet später öfter mal getroffen. Auch Backstage oder in Stuttgarter Hotels. BRIAN war ein Sensibelchen, Mick positiv verrückt und Andy hat einen sehr guten Kopf... Guter Junge... Grüsse aus Stuttgart. Dee

    First:
    I don’t sympathize with the term TRAGIC every time someone dies.
    Preist got to 72 - a little early, but as the rock star he was he had probably been living 3 or 4 normal lives already. And probably wouldn’t have preferred it different himself. So stop your sobbing! Not said to be disrespectful to his family & friends…
    The Sweet were my heroes as a young teen in the 1970’s. And Steve was an indispensable part of the groups stage show and musical performance. He was a very firm and steady bass player. And a Sweet song without Steve’s singing and commenting Connollys lyrics wasn’t REALLY a Sweet song, was it? It was part of the Sweet DNA!
    Loved the guy❤
