Thank God for Youn Tube!!! I have been exposed to some of the greatest music out there that I never knew existed thanks to the idiots that control the music industry here in the States. Had it not been for You Tube I would never have heard of Mott the Hoople, Slade, Sweet, and other tremendous UK groups!
Sweet were a big part of my teens and I still love them.Now I like Def I have 3 of there CDs But SWEET made this song great.Andys licks Briens voks.Def had new tek well ahead of the 16 to 24 track tape of the 70s.I saw Sweet at there peek They were the real deal
I LOVE THIS SONG!....want to know some juicy gossip about the sweet that they dare not print in the magazines.....go to "hey st peter gnowangerups70s" and read my 3 comments. regards.
when I have been a teenager; SWEET had been my FAVORITE band; still like them of course; many songs from SWEET including ACTION; it`s true it`s ACTION we need
@redgreenjr yess! if it wasnt for yuotube i woudlnt have heard half the songs they have sang! and yes, they ARE the GREATEST band ever!! but im sad to say that people my age nowadays dont listen to this type of music anymore and dont understand/appreciate how much better life was back in the 70's :(
@kittiesgomow33 Actually my favorite glam band from the 70's was Angel They don't have too many live videos on youtube, but here's a good one: youtube.com/watch?v=8n07qiAo1lM
You may have to cut and paste the link into your browser. Enjoy!
Sweet,Slade Trex all but forgoten by now but it was a grad day for rock not pop not prog the glam thing was about good times.Sweet were the BEST at it. They made Bowie glam and Rush was there support band.They stad out. From the pack
Ok I did not know Def did this song.I did check it out and it's not bad but it's just not sweet.Sweet had sumthing no other band will ever have...Andy Scots balls the man could rock like no other
Steve Stevens from Billy Idol also did his own version (check it out). I still like Def Leppards though. Still one of the best songs ever and the solo kick ass (speaking as a guitar player).
I love the Sweet they were the very of the glam bands.I saw there give us a wink show in 76 i think ,and Def did not do this song,they did hell raiser RIP Brian Connolly
Sweet were YEARS ahead of their time, you can hear and see their influence all over rock and roll music. Nobody sounded like them, looked like them or had the stage presence in the 70's. They are probably the most ripped off band in rock and roll history LOL.
This is the single version and there was an album verion with sythesiser in the intro but I remember there being a third version like the album version but with just a single "Action!" at the end . Does anybody else remember this? (My tapes are long gone and none of the re-releases seems to have it.)
I`m fifty seven and can remember the early seventies: endless strikes, power cuts, rampant inflation, oil crises, British Leyland cars; the list goes on, but the music? the best ever. Shame the kids of today have to judge music by the X Factor.
@glenn1340 i totally agree with your comment but we teenages of that era had a fantastic time and yes it is a shame that kids of today have to judge music by the x factor what garbage that is.so fortunate i was around in that period of time
I gotta admit - I LOVE both versions - hard to tell one from the other - although Rick Savage's drumming is quite distinct and Mick Tucker was always a hero of mine ....RIP Mick and Brian.....:)
my bad sorry :) never been a huge follower of DefLep - however I felt hugely for Rick Allen after his HUGE accident and having to learn play drums all over again with a modified kit - which he does magnificently :)
@ukmetalman I had a channel I put together back in 06 it had 1500 music videos from the 50s to the 90s here on YT. It was an ongoing work in progress then they shut my channel down wiped it out from existence it was a big hit with nearly10000 subs just to please all age groups. I'm just glad to see there is still videos like this that exist.
If you heard this song today on the radio and never knew who this band was it would be as fresh now as it was then, lyrics and musical arrangements. It is time less rock period!
@JBofBrisbane - This was the follow up to Fox on the Run and it was written and produced by The Sweet - there have been several cover versions, most notably Def Leppard, but it is an original Sweet classic.
Besides the vocals which are outstanding really listen to the guitar work and the arrangements of all the instruments. You will hear things ten years later that other bands were doing exactly the same thing so they were very ahead of there time by at least 10 years.
def leppard could not hold a candle to the original sweet. sinse there drummer lost his left arm year's ago he is limited to what he can do, thus, this is why it seem's all new def leppard song's alway's sound the same, 1 /2 beat with a low e six string growl followed bt basic and pathetic lead riff's

Not only Def Leppard did a cover on this but also Scorpions did cover of both Action and Fox on the run. Scorpions called themself The Hunters in that project for some reason. Very rare recording from 1975.
@007Cassandra Thank you! There are so many cool people sharing and helping each other out here on youtube, it more than makes up for the trolls and assholes. Keep on rockin', Cassandra!
Folk who knock the 70s just havent got a clue. This is music as good as it gets.......from a Band as good as it gets. SUPERB.......and Thanks for posting this gem.
There another version of this song "Action" that is by Steve Stevens, "Atomic Playboys" CD released in 1989 before the Def Leppard version. Steve Stevens does an awesome job on this classic song! Steve Stevens was Billy Idols former guitarist in addition to playing with Michael Jackson on Dirty Diana. Steve Stevens ROCKS!! Atomic Playboys is a GREAT CD and the cover artwork is done by H.R. Giger the guy who did the "ALIENS" artwork.
Sweet vs. Queen is a hard call for me to make. Without Brian May on guitar, Queen wouldn't stand a chance to me. Leppard hasn't done anything I can still listen to since the High n' Dry LP.
@queenfreak1990 That is a close race. Their styles are different and Queen definitely lasted longer. Sweet are sadly a bit forgotten now, while Queen still have international star status.
action is a wicked tune but not written by sweet. it was written by a guy from stratford ontario canada in the early - mid seventies. nicky chin and mike chapman who wrote most of sweet's tunes until off the record paid five hundred bucks for the song and it sold 1.5 million singles and the rest is history.
@ROULEDUKE5 Actually the credits on the single go to Andy Scott, Brian Connolly, Steve Priest, Mick Tucker, so either you are misled, or there's a court case waiting to happen.

@queenfreak1990 That is a close race. Their styles are different and Queen definitely lasted longer. Sweet are sadly a bit forgotten now, while Queen still have international star status.

This song is as awesome as I remembered it being in my teens. Rock music was so much fun then, not like the whining crap now.

Hit #20 in the US (Billboard). How'd it do in the UK? God bless! RIP, Brian.

I have to say that Brian's throat injury may have damaged his voice, but the newer harsh sound suited their musical direction.

action is a wicked tune but not written by sweet. it was written by a guy from stratford ontario canada in the early - mid seventies. nicky chin and mike chapman who wrote most of sweet's tunes until off the record paid five hundred bucks for the song and it sold 1.5 million singles and the rest is history.

Action was written by: Scott-Priest-Connelly- Tucker. Not Chin-Chapman.

@ROULEDUKE5 Actually the credits on the single go to Andy Scott, Brian Connolly, Steve Priest, Mick Tucker, so either you are misled, or there's a court case waiting to happen.
