I have wrote this on different forums over the years...and I still believe it. The Sweet belong in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Feel the exact same way about Uriah Heep, Boston, Jethro Tull, and for the longest time felt that way about Rush, Deep Purple and Yes.
Sweet are one of those bands, in my opinion, where it’s hard to consider which album is their best. I enjoy all of them with original singer, Brian Connolly. They really did everything from psychedelic (the early singles before Andy joined), bubblegum, glam, hard rock, etc. A superb band in all their phases. I’ve been a fan since hearing “Little Willy” for the first time in 1972.
Love these interviews, Andy like sooooo many musicians back in the seventies never gets bored in stating how things were back in the day
Your interviews are the best, John. Sweet...an extremely under rated band!
To this day, I believe that Sweet is the most underrated band in history--of any music genre. And I agree with you that John has provided us with the best interviews with the legendary Andy Scott.
@@glamgal7106 I completely agree with you with every word!! Sweet is my favorite band of all time. Sad that only Andy is left with us but also glad he is!! I appreciate these awesome interviews and to Andy for always sharing his memories with us. Love Sweet!!
I remember listening to "Give us a wink" for the first time way back in the seventies. I could not believe my ears. It was an epiphany. I was flabbergasted. The Sweet had so much more to offer than the commercial Chinn & Chapman stuff. How I miss those days. The Sweet were anything but sweet, they were a genuine hard metal band, one of the best ever and far ahead of their time. Many youngters today, including my sons, were very impressed when they first heard "Set me free".
Funny to hear Andy talking about 1967; the year I was born and yet they are my fave band of all time. Andy is always so open sharing his memories with us all. Love you, Andy, and Sweet!
Very cool thx John
Just love Andy he has such a nice voice when he speaks, it is sooo nice hearing stories about the things they got up to when they were all together, just wish they were all alive and still singing together.
Andy Scott us a Living Legend IMHO!
Andy is so eloquent with his laguage and how he decribes the times and the people and stories. He is of my parents generation. Even they didn't understand the massive shift they were a part of in their time. I had to retrospectively discover Sweet (and other brilliant artists) and be hooked (secretly) in the later 80s, dare I say, when they were uncool in my age group. I just finished reading Steve's book. I couldn't put it down til the end. If ever there was a band in history who really did click and create magic music, it's Sweet. Totally undercredited by the industry, and by bands they obviously influenced. They had such a profound impact because of their energy as individuals and as musicians. Personally, for me, I like the original Sweet with Brian. Good on Andy for keeping magic alive though with his band. So many questions that could be asked of the four of them. Three now sadly gone with their own stories forever silenced.. Their music legacy no doubt will be discoverred by future generations thanks to yt and this channel and others. Ask Andy more please!
Good interview!!
Excellent words Andy. I prefer the British version as it's what I'm used to. A great band who had five top 20 US hit singles
Amazing album! (Although I'm more familiar with the UK version)
The first album I bought with my own money. Still one of my favorites.
Excellent interview
Brilliant continuing interview.
I'm so happy to see andy I'm a huge fan I wish I could see his band
Love Andy's comments about "the future". I was at the new Century Hall gig he refers to and had gone to see his band, the Silverstone Set - as most of the xrowd had. When Hendrix came on, as he said the floor emptied and the bar was packed out. I was one of about 50 watching Hendrix.
Evertime Ihear this comment about the gig, it always makes sme smile at the irony. Andy in Sweet and Ted, the singer, joing Love affair :-(
Howerver, Sweet red hot!!!!!!!!
it's my birthday today feb 6th and this interview was my gift hahah ❤❤
The man can really play.
excellent history lesson, my skin is dancing. wow how inspiring and insightful... brilliant ! i can not say enough
I personally like the UK version better of Desolation Boulevard but my favorite album is Give Us A Wink
My two favourite Sweet albums are the heavy rock classic Give Us a Wink and their sophisticated Level Headed album 😃
Austin Johnson
My favourite album of theirs is "Sweet Fanny Adams".
@@redblade8160 - “Sweet Fanny Adams” was the first UK import LP I ever bought, back in 1976. I remember it being expensive at $7.98. lol
Great series ...loving this !
Love Sweet..they sre something spec..❤❤❤❤
Sweet....noone above them, nobody at their side.
Great interview! I really liked the more recent Quatro, Scott, and Powell album, too. Nice, nice playing.
Jumping about a bit...love it!! Love to hear all your stories!! ❤️😘
Loved them more in 2022
Legend !
I have the German version of this album, so I'll have to look up the difference between the UK and US versions. My favorite songs on this are Turn it Down and Solid Gold Brass. This is my third favorite album behind Sweet FA and GUAW. Love the Sweet forever, and RIP Mick, Brian, and Steve. 💔
I prefer allso the UK version but, ofcourse both versions are in my collection. Pity we have to wait for for four day's to see part 5
I'm not familiar with the US version of Desolation Boulevard I know it's a mix of the UK version and Sweet FA. But IMO Sweet FA is The album, way better than Desolation Boulevard or Give Us a Wink. I still have my Vinyl copy, and it still plays. One of my most treasured items.
They hit their peak with DB. Must say Wink is nearly as strong and a formidable follow up.
I know that an interviewer has to ride the flow and waves of the interviewee, but I really wanted to hear more about Desolation Boulevard. Oh well...
I didn’t know that the North American release was different from the British. I guess that’s why the album was so spot on. My perspective of Give Us a Wink has changed now.
Love this album! The parents had a copy that I scratched up so bad. My dad's side is native so I just assumed that the dark dark haired guys were breeds. Haha! Such a heavy album!
Andy is an intelligent guy and should have been Sweets spokesman when they were at their commercial peak IMO
Andy, Mick, and Steve didn’t want to get involved with the press side of things, it was left up to Brian. Then they got peed off because Brian got the headlines, quotes, and attention! It’s well known that Brian was the only member of the band who could be bothered with press and publicity.
I completely agree with you. Andy is a true professional.
@@joshousen1441 And - he's the last member of the band to be alive, sadly. I'm glad he's still able to share these stories.
He actually WAS the spokesman of the band from 77 onwards and although all members got songwriter credited, he wrote most of the material and parts in cooperation with Steve.
Not much on Desolation Boulevard there! Bit still interesting and enjoyable.
Andy Scott still got handy amounts of hair.😎
Stop with this underated crap! Sweet were huge back then.👌
Sweet where huge all over the world
They were huge with the fans but never got taken seriously much with big wigs of the industry because of the bubble gum stuff they had to play in the beginning. A lot of people here in the US didn't really get to hear much of the great hard rock stuff. We mainly got the 4 big hits. That's why people say they're underrated.
