Why is every second comment obsessing about their sexuality? FFS they are PERFORMERS on stage, wearing makeup and, gee, COSTUMES. Having FUN, in a time before everyone went insane about everything. God no wonder so many of us want to go back!
Zep was mythology
Queen was in white tassle and white leather, Sabbath was in black leather ... These guys out sold them for 2 yrs straight and dressed glam ... To my knowledge all were straight.... But who gives a shit.... Extremely underated band , all could sing amazing and also were all talented musicians. How they aren't recognized more , hall of Fame , Ill never know.
I think they look fabulous! Glam rock at it's best 😍😍😍
To be honest Women preferred the Glammed up look way better the generic granola look of jeans and t-shirt! Glam rock ruled the 70's and 80's. Glam rockers like Poison got more groupies than Mike and the Mechanics.
Maybe they get noticed more with "silly" clothes, like Slade and Abba
Who cares what their sexuality is. They were a great band and part of many of our childhoods, like you said, it doesn’t matter
Big Hello to all the 70s people out there, what a superior time, all hail the 70s!
Ace Times....someone make that Time Machine.....👍🇬🇧🤓
Grew up.listening to all these my mum loved this era and used to get all us kids dancing at her mates house .
RIP the three members of The Sweet
Brian Connolly (October 5, 1945 - February 9, 1997), aged 51
Mick Tucker (July 17, 1947 - February 14, 2002), aged 54
Steve Priest (February 23, 1948 - June 4, 2020), aged 72
You will be remembered as legends.
Nice one...
Thank you!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Nice one 👍
Hab Brian 1993 oder '94 in Dessau live erleben dürfen. Schon schwer angeschlagen, aber immer noch genial!!! Werde mich immer 😊daran erinnern, dem Idol meiner frühen Jugend auf wenige Meter nahe gekommen zu sein. R.I.P. BRIAN!
Their music makes me feel good
Glad I was a 70s kid . A magical time in music.
Me also
I think the problem is that every avenue of rock music has been explored so it's difficult to be original any more.
I become a teenager in 72 and it was the best

God: Hold my beer.
I also a child of the 70 ten and the music of this epoch inspired me so much🤠
50 Yrs LATER,THIS IS STILL A BIG HIT 🎶
О, да это действительно так, на самом деле!
@@user-qh4pm3pe7pL♡VE THIS🎶
Да Чувак! Балрумблиц и Блокбастер! Мы кайфовали ещё при СССР
My mum told me that this was banned in the factory she was working in at the time as it sounded the same as the factory fire alarm!! I've always loved that story!!
I am now 63, and I was madly in love with Brian. Fantastic times the 70s when young men didn't think it was cool anymore to look like their granddad ❤❤❤❤
I’m 65 and I totally agree! So sad they are no longer with us.
Sweet wasn't just a glam band, they were a damn good rock band
One of the best in their era.Michael.
I agree. Whatever you pitched at the boys, Sweet knocked it out of the park.
sweet sold 50 million records.
With a damn great lead singer!!
Up there with the finest xxxx seriously great,,dared to be differentx
Brian Connelly was a brilliant singer I loved Sweet and their music sadly there's only Andy Scot still alive
Steve Priest’s campiness is hilarious, love him!! 😂
Me too! I keep binge watching him!
Back when music was about having fun!!! Still sounds great😊👍❤️🇬🇧
Exactly 50 year's today,What a Hit, What a Group!
Was in first teenage love when this charted and loved this ever since!❤
Ain't no way I love music from half a century ago 💀 I'm 22 and can't live without old music
Wow! Time waits for no one…
Love them too.
The 70s was fabulous
Really music that means a lot to many of us who were young in 70'ties. Music that never will be forgotten.
"we just ......JUST havent...... AAAAAHHH HAAAAAA" CLASSIC STEVE PRIEST LINE!!
It's an absolutely cracking band. Talented. I would have loved to see them live.
I did. They were a very good band even when not playing their Chinnichaps top 20 hits.
"We just haven't got a clue what to do" .. classic.
that line sums up todays generation
Best glam rock band of the 70`s just magical.
One of the best what about mud slade T rex Kenny smokie the rubbers Dave Edmunds 10cc
Mick Tucker.. Great Drummer. 🎇🌀💫💥⭐✨🔝🎸💃🔙✳️
46 years later this song is still brilliant, Sweet will last forever
shycharlieace fuck me I'm getting old here but still love the songs not 40 years older surely only just turned 60 lol
@@sharonann3344 I'm right behind you at 59 years young!
@@PNEKarl Ok...i join the club
I'm only 55...may I join too?
Had the vinyl album and played it until the grooves turned grey. Lol!
shycharlieace this is one of my favourite ever songs. Brian was a good looking man too 😍
❤❤ I loved them, Posters..., Brian Connolly was so cool...❤❤❤❤
Sweet were massive from 73 to around 76. A brilliant band who were far more than just Glam Rock or bubble gum pop. Their music has stood the test of time.
So did Gar Glitter and Slade.
Always make me smile , and groove. this was my introduction to Sweet at 12 years old, rather hear Sweet before the Beatles any day of the week
They're playing at a festival in my nearby town this coming weekend, I wish I'd known before tickets were sold out!
@@LarzGustafsson nah gary stayed because he can't keep his hands off of his favorite note: A minor
They were a bunch of smart alecky bad asses...and I loved 'em so! Ha!
50 years ago today (25/01/23)! Timeless and classic music.
Still sounds great over 50 years later. Do you like their new song "Don't Bring Me Water"? :-)
@@dariowestern Sounds pretty good to me.
Evergreen ❤❤❤❤❤
Офигеть ! Балрумблиц и Блокбастер 50 лет слушаю! Кайф!
It don’t get more 70s glam rock than this 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Hammer 🔨 ⚒ 🛠 🔨 ⚒ 🛠 Song von the sweet grüße aus Berlin
Das war eine super Band ! 👍👍👍👍👍
Even though sweet didnt make it big here in america, i fricken loved them since 1973....would have paid anything to see them.
My family were living in England (Dad in USAF) when this came out, and, when this aired on tv. Pops about spit his beer out in shock! And worse for him, me and my brothers sang along. Fun times!
I was ten in 73 and Wow!! To Blockbuster!!
I'm 35 and when I was about 10 we had a Sweet CD and not much else 🤣 so this is my childhood right here 🎶
So was I..Loved the sweet.
Behind all that glam and glitter there are some good musicians.
I was 8 years old when watching this performance. I fell in love with Brian…now I’m 57 and still in love. I could watch him forever.
Hes got better hair than most women
One of my karaoke favourites.. love The Sweet ❤️🤟 Ahhhhhh!!.. Ahhhh!!!
The best opening EVER.
RIP Steve Priest. "We just haven't got a clue what to do" 🎸
@Neil Steadman That lines feels different now that he's no longer here.
and never will.............
mesmerising performance.
58 on Wednesday ..... can't get enough of Sweet .... bloody brilliant & bring back some wonderful memories x
Well said diane, THE BEST EVER, I WANT TICKETS TO THEIR CONCERTS IN HEAVEN.

Memories, me and my mate in the bedroom playing their music and us with our guitars pretending we were sweet. RIP to the three. Loved mud as well another chin and Chapman creation.
Very good rock music. Relaxing. Thank you very much.👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
These were the days! Thank you Sweet!
Glam Rock was very popular in the 70s in Germany. The Sweet were a milestone and their way of performing was just amazing. They had been frequent guests on TV shows, especially on New Years’s Eve Events. Great Band, good old times…

Sweet - Blockbuster - Top Of The Pops 25.01.1973 (OFFICIAL) 1107am 5.7.23 it'll be that hard beat very strident and we know germans love that kindda drum beat... laibach should have covered this band with all those kettle drums and hard beats going on...
Queen were as glam as the rest of those bands in the 70s , not a bad thing , but I prefer sweet, as the drummer was a Monster on that kit , just think if Mick Tucker was in queen , it'll be a fight between Freddy and Mick cos both were the powerhouse of both bands 😊👍
@@petebest22Comments on ‘Sweet - Blockbuster - Top Of The Pops 25.01.1973 (OFFICIAL)’ 0625am 23.7.23 hmmm.... they were too gay to get into fights... this, too, seems like a very old coment. probably made when you were lying-in your caravan thinking about vegetable plots and your hatred of a certain who person who you then found out had used the moniker of your fav person in the whole wide world and your vengeance had been taken out on the wrong person.. maybe the synopsis for chess!!? awoke this morning to the words jenny wren has committed hari-kari. what does that mean, sir?
Brilliant memories.. Wish I could go back and stay for good. Groundhog day sounds bloody good....
I was 4 when this came out and k thought they were fantastic and that Brian was the vest thing since sliced bread. Broke my heart when he died
This is the exact time period when music was the MOST FUN.
OFR never bettered 😈
Yes.....1973 was incredible.....even Little JImmy Osmond!
Spot on , sweet Slade cockney rebel Roxy music sparks and so many more
Weren't we lucky to have been young during that era.
@@duncanbirss8923 Status Quo before they became family entertainment and T-Rex?
Great song and I'm 64, but you can't block buster out.
A sad day for glam rock R.I.P. Steve.
RIP Steve great music
Well said, another childhood Hero leaves the Stage.🎸
Found out as I read your comment. Gutted. Steve's passing only appeared on Australian media internet services. Should have been lead story on every 6pm TV news bulletin. These guys were huge in Aust back in the day.
Tnx again for your sentiments.
Can this year get any worse 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
@@mayort6548 I found out by someone commenting in the comments section; not 1 mention on national TV news. I googled to make sure it was true and like you said, internet news was on it.
Bring back the music from the 70s !!!!
Wow!!!! I found my favorite "Sweet" song. Was just cruising oldies and "bam". Omg wish we could go back to the 70-80's. Girls were so much fun and everthing was sooo cool. 👍👍👍👍👍🙌🙌
The best music of the 60s,70s and 80s came from England.
Brazil had greaaaaaatttt 60s and 70s music too!! My favorite.
That's highly debatable. Throw "Some of" on the front of the sentence and I'd agree 110%.
Brian Connolly was Scottish
Sweet were a fantastic band. Glam rock at its finest. All great musicians.
64 here and still love these xxx oh .... thems the days ❤
I`m glad I was in the 70 s What a great time off splended music.
Why am I only just now discovering the absolute awesomeness of this fg song ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
All the people dancing around the band is so cool! Loved those days of dancing with abandon with friends and making new ones! 😅
😻
Good old days. Good memories for me.
4 good looking guys playing fantastic Sweet-Music 🎶🎤🎸🥁🎶💕
Brilliant 💃🕺🥰
Sweet, Slade, T.Rex . . . oh what a time ♫
You forgot Gary Glitter 😂😂😂
Sadly,I still like his music,shame he turned out to be the devil incarnate.
Queen , David Bowie , and Elton John too ...
Alvin stardust wizzard david bowie the glitter band the list is endless for all the glam rock greats
@@FHIPrincePeter your kidding hes a dity old bastard
Im now 63 and STILL get Goosebumps looking at Brian...... Swooning..,
Me too😻 and days away from turning 67 😻
Sweet memories 😍
I still love you guys 💕
R.I.P. Brian, Mick and Steve 😘
Keep on rocking and having fun together where ever you are ♥️
Iconic and immortal - long live glam rock 🎉
My favourite band from the 70s
Mine too.
Loved Sweet too; my granddaughter likes them also.
Same here. Particularly from the 70s Glam Rock era
Oh Steve 🤣 Love these guys. Big part of my childhood and still loving them now.
RIP Brian, Steve and Mick😥
Ha! Still love it! My sisters and I were so young but we loved SWEET❣
Hmmmmm🤔
Gott war das eine geile Zeit, ich will dahin zurück😢😢😢😢😢
....me tooo
Loved this band and still do!!
One Great Band. SWEET !
Sweet are utterly untouchable; no rock band will ever rise to such great heights!
The Sweet were great but Zeppelin, Who, Stones etc didn't exist then?
Mick Tucker was such a phenomenal drummer that the drums kept playing while he stepped away to play the tympanis.
@60s Man 60s Guitars Very well said.
@Shane P LOL!
🤣🤣🤣👍
Come on, people! Shane P5121 is just kiddind with his comment.
Playback magic.
Steve Priest!! Gone but not forgotten!!🤟🤩💥
What memories. My first 45!! Played it to death. Never knew what the lyrics meant and still don't. Who cares? Back when everyone took themselves a little less seriously. Happy days.
Just a great Band!!! Wish that they were still around.
Best band ever! RIP Steve x
I still have goose bumps listening to this masterpiece, And I am 59 years old!!
I'm 62, well said mate, bloody brilliant.
Back at a time when people enjoyed themselves. Me and my brothers were kids in the 60’ & had nothing , then we left school & started to earn a few quid. We would spend our cash buying records like this. A fantastic time with fantastic music and great bands. And sweet we’re right up there. 🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍👍
This band was out of my time as born in 79 but luv most of there songs my dad used to play them all the time I listen to there music was a great rock band
OMG 50 years ago they were rocking and still sounds so good
Brian, Mick, Steve and Andy 🎤🥁🎸🎸
You were the best 🎶💕🎶♥️
Still love you guys 💕
Forever in my heart ♥️
Christ these songs bring back memories
Just fantastic. The first 7 inch single I bought! Happy memories 😍😍
My granddaughter age 10yrs now sings along to this and ballroom blitz . Gotta keep the younger generations into good music
Cool kids! I'm glad that the younger generations are re-discovering Chinn and Chapman's music. :)
It's our only hope!
My 18 yr old loves these
I'm 14 and I love their music! My 8 year old brother likes this band too but his twin doesn't. well not all people have a good taste in music.
I have been a fan of the sweet since I was a kid, born in 1991. My Dad has this set as my personal ringtone
I was born in August 73 so I was late coming to the Sweet party but so glad I gave their music a chance. They are a very iconic glam rock group whose music never ages or gets boring to listen to
I can safely say I'm a Sweet fan and a glam rock fan ❤
Sad that only Andy is the remaining Sweet member still with us.rip Brian,Mick, and Steve.
Greatest band of all time.grew up with this.awsome band.
My 2 year old was dancing to this just now. Catchy no matter the age!
Oh dear, another legend has gone today, 04 June 2020 and we have lost Steve Priest, at 72 years of age i believe. One of the best supporting singer lines in rock
"We just haven't got a clue what to do" . Are you ready Steve, to be missed.
Mama you don't understand every time I touch her. "Hellraiser".
RIP Steve. Thre's only two of them left now.
@@arita2006 ?? Andy is the only one left. Brian Connolly went first from a heart attack, then Mick Tucker from leukemia, and now Steve Priest from causes unknown as of this time. It's just Andy Scott left now.
@@100nitrog2 Oh no, I didn't realise there was only one member left.
@@100nitrog2 Exactly, sad but true
Absolutely Amazing Band!
Formed in the late 1960's, went through a couple of line up changes before Andy joined as the final part of the jigsaw! One seriously underrated band! dx
I was 12 when this came out, I loved the Sweet in my teen years, brilliant band !
Me too. Just getting into music and collecting vinyl. Pissed off my dad when on TOTP so ok with me!
Funny thing is im 16 listening to this just brought up with good taste
What a banging fucking tune!! Even now after all those years,it still holds its own✌️top band
THE TOP BAND EVER BEATS ANY OTHER BEATLES ,STONES ;AND ANY OTHER BANDS
I was 13 my first band that I.liked
I was in 2nd year of senior school
73 very underrated band
As well
Lead singer was Mark
McManus Taggert
Brian connly was
His brother
Lead singer ha I never
Knew that one myself
Steve Priest's stage performances are hilarious.
@@andymatthews7617 I would tend to agree.
@@keythdanielsen9315 A great capacity for sending himself up, but of course, most normal folk enjoy a band more if they're obviously enjoying themselves up on stage. If they'd rather not be there, it tells.
Brilliant. Nothing beats glam at its best.
Best glamrock Band ever!!!!
Легенда,они гении,таких больше ни когда не будет.вечная память.
Great stuffwhat country u in Sir?
Is that you Pootie?
I wasn't born until 2005, so I did not get to hear the bad news about Brian and Mick until I was 14. Then I found out about Steve. Andy is the only one left. Someone give Andy a hug
💯🤘👋🤚
Gabby,you are a lovely big-hearted girl X
It brings back so many happy days when I was young. When we didn't have a care in the world. I wish most of us that was around then could go back again and enjoy the era with so many great bands around.
💞❤️💯💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💯❤️💞
70s FOREVER 💪🏻🥰😍🥳
@@kaiserinsissi563 yes the 70s were great, some days it feels like yesterday but it's 50 years now 😢😢. A great time when we were young.
Me too. Miss my neighborhood friends from those years.
@@kevinkmandew759 yes I do. One of my friends who I grew up with died in the 80s.
Me and him and 2 other friends acted out being the sweet when we were at school. I've lost contact with them but still think about when we were growing up.

I’m a firefighter and I’d love to play this instead of the 2 tones when im on the way to a firecall…
I remember been a kid in the seventies i was 9 years old when this single was released i played it to death , loved the sweet , slade and wizard and queen. in the seventies , it lead me in metal in the eighties , i still have fond reflection of sweet and those care free years ❤️ 😊
I was 12 in 1972. I did spud picking for my local farmer to earn money to buy Sweet's 7" single from the record shop in Preston. I still love Sweet. Thank you lads!
i was 15 it was the year i left school
U was 12 to and more than a fan. I even went for the same haircut as Brian do it was(and still are)
I live in preston, where abouts did it used to be?
@@patrickrogers4697 Brady's Records on the Flag Market. 1972
How many English lads would pick spuds in Britain today? I was planting spuds at 10!
I was a big fan of theirs in my mid/early teens. Fast forward 50 years, I'm still a big fan.
Sweet , grandios......unvergessen, einmalig !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hammer Song aus meiner Jugend und der Sänger war so ein heißer Typ!! Rest in Peace Brian!! Einfach unvergessen und unsterblich!!
Sweet is some of the best!
