[AiRzZtv]

[TheMerryBear]

Today the 14th Feb marks the 10th anniversary of the passing of Mick Tucker. R.I.P. Mick and God Bless

[68bobba1]

@TheMerryBear Amen to that...I started playing the drums because of him

[EmilyTianaCampy]

[EmilyTianaCampy]

fallen bass

[SzymonMaslowskii]

Than u can wear normal clothes, and nobody tell u "u r gay" Why not now?

[toxikwafflestudios]

This song is amazing. Idk why but I like to listen to it when i snowboard

[HeavyBlackPain]

So fucking glam!!!

This song is titfucking awesome!

[TheMerryBear]

Today the 9th Feb marks the 15th anniversary of the passing of the legend Brian Connelly, gone, but never forgotten, R.I.P

[gothrowsome2a]

autotune didnt exist back then

[Aechtblut]

Und was ist so schwer dran, ein Clip für eine Band zu machen, die in Köstümen aufrtitt? Wählt man da bevorzugt die Nahaufnahme, Porträt?? Trottel!!!

[MrSylosis]

i guess the ones saying its gay are big straight hard men? nah very much doubt it get over yourselves. Todays music sucks badly and i doubt we'll ever get this sort of music again to the same popularity as it was back then (if that makes sense)

[ricbe63]

brilliant brings back a lot of good memories for me i was a teenager buried in glam rock bands this band being my favourite excellent thank you for the video

[labrat420]

All the people saying this is gay are probably people who have flock of seagulls haircuts yet have no idea who flock of seagulls are

[rhabarberkompott]

über glam

[Misssiobhan21]

Wish I had amazing hair like that :P

[jonblevins123]

LOVE THIS SONG!! and to every one who thinks this is Gay THEN WHY R U LISNING TO IT and PISS OFF!!

[divisorplot]

Nice religious history lesson metaphor of lyrics re Krishna and Buddha Harper roe Funk and Wagnell Folklore Mythology and Legend.

[MrModGamers]

I wish i wasnt born on 1998 i was born on 1970 ! Justin Biber or Rebecca black didnt last as long as these gyes did!

[WENGERGOONER]

If you judge a song on the video before the music then I fear you know diddlysquat about music,and maybe enjoy the taste of gentleman sausage yourself?? Just sayin' :)

[diwiak]

that surely is woman in that green coat.. neverthless its great song

[johorridoh]

The intro is so gay !

[putty1994]

@johorridoh No you are gay now piss off!

[UltraMegaBurrit0]

Por alguna razon este video me hizo venir a la mente la pelicula "Deep Throat"

[themysteriesman]

my mum has this on in my living room this is an awsome song

[Hyperflummi]

Gay? Because of the clothes? Bullshit! By the way, it´s not important if these fellows have been gay or not. Who cares?! They were just cool! And their music was fantastic. As it is fantastic today! This song is my favourite, just like "Teenage Rampage". Awesome musicians!

[andypac7]

Very shame that Bri Connelly died an alcoholic.



[martinec5]

Most 70's and 80's bands look like chicks...it wasn't gay,it was cool back then

[finnisawesome]

Oh, the 80's. Good times, good times.

[jacleafy]

@finnisawesome Er, the 70s, dear!!

[Uwirubi]

the unforgetable "let`s start" was one of the best songintros ever !!! And one of the best songs ever !!!

[Bassimprov17]

Ooooooo my god they all look like chicks!!

[markito379]

ooooo yessssssssssss

[markito379]

o yes

[JoeyRivers]

Any autotuner here, any lipsync, any of the other manufactured fake shit that they do today?? Nooo this is pure raw talent...

and yes its GAY = Golden Age Yesteryear

[jacleafy]

@JoeyRivers Oddly, The Sweet were a "semi-manufactured" band in the 1970s, this isn't live, they could play live but only with the best part of a backing band. In the later 70s, they had a go at being more 'musically credible' like a number of other bands of their era ... but their fans had largely moved on together with the "teeny-bop" market.

[fleischpudding]

@JoeyRivers I thought this was lipsynced because it sounds exactly like the studio version

[Superbatron]

Justin Ballbag and Lady Gitface get a mention in every video FFS!

Say what you like. This is glam rock and there's nothing gay about it. If you weren't there at the time, you missed an excellent period of music. You have my sympathy......

[orochileona]

Yay, that's the power of the OLDE SCHOOL ---

--- 100% pure rock and roll ^__^

Thanx 4 shäring :-)

[davichocuore]

@orochileona buenicimo tema ..genial

[chillstylergirl88]

omg thats ultra gay. i cant belive anybody ever liked this shit

[MrZendy94]

@chillstylergirl88 Are you sick?!? This is ultra gay? Then what is Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Lil Wayne... This is pure awesome you pitty fool!

[cheezpuff18]

@MrZendy94 Look here youngin Queen was a gay band and they are still popular to this day bands are a group that plays instuments and sings with great voices like AC DC and Metallica, lil wayne can't sing thats why he needs that microphone with the voice inhancer in it just like t pain justin beiber is a little boy with a high pitched girls voice he wont last long when he hits puberty

[fabiocaraffa]

e cosi inizia il film romanzo criminale :-)

[toifesludaaa]

grandious begin of the song, he calls his guys and they answer him gay :D

[rayva1]

If there were viewers who disliked this song or video for whatever reasons they need to take their viewing elsewhere, but seriously where can you ever find a band today where a majority of the members not only play an instrument but also can sing, harmonize, and create a cool sound such as this?

[LDamyane]

60 persons don't enjoy the ballroomblitz .

[JULIOHOOBASTANK]

enfermedad ..! 

[blueybean]

[henningsjolie]

[rossnparfitt]

@henningsjolie No man just an top act just get up and grebo

[xxBIRDY]

@henningsjolie In those days it was normal to be 'A' sexual and play with your sexual identity. It was a way of rebelling and shocking the uptight people!.

[PollitoPolito378]

wayne's world

[yorkie6687]

FUCKING CHOICE TUNE, thanks for downloading!

[edimage]

hey everybody

no matter what anybody says they have got their place in rock/pop history

good band

pity brian got kick in the head and started going downwards afterwards

[FredricEric]

In Schweden hatten sie nicht so gute Kritik gehabt aber doch eine grosse Publik. Heute finde ich sie wirklich Klasse und irgendwie Vorläufer auch.

[FredricEric]

Waren sie grösser in Deutschland als in England?

[hollywoodfee]

@FredricEric

Hast du die 70er nicht miterlebt ?? Die waren das Beste was es in dieser Zeit gab und das über Jahre hnweg

[HuntertheHacker]

@hollywoodfee english please?

[brunoabramoderramos]

The camera almost misses the wink of Steve's eye.

[xsickpuppiex]

[markito379]

[leroyrs]

@vivitafc

[RandyRandyRhoads]

fag? fuck you! I wear my 70's masculine long hair like a crown!

[thefuckyouchannel100]

Little known fact,this song was written about a riot at kilmarnock ballroom when the sweet appeared on stage wigh make up on.

[SeattleLA]

Are You ready Steve? Sweet rules.

[SuperCrazyRoy]

anyways, great song!

[SuperCrazyRoy]

who would say back then that they would look a bit gay in 2011? or at least to me U_u haha

[HuntertheHacker]

Good music but not a very masculine look...

[shigenobu0]

@HuntertheHacker Long hair was a very masculine look for us in the 70's, and still is!

[hollywoodfee]

@HuntertheHacker Das war der Zeitgeist der 70-80 und der nicht in dieser Zeit Sweetfan war kann das nicht verstehen es ist oberlammeraffen......

[hollywoodfee]

@HuntertheHacker

[Ghostridersful]

oh, shit, weres the time!!?? seems like i watched this for 660.857 times now

[GoldenOldiesOn45RPM]

Brian Connolly of Sweet = dead RIP

Les Gray of Mud = dead RIP

Freddie Mercury of Queen = dead RIP

Gerry Shephard of Glitter Band = dead RIP

Marc Bolan of T.Rex = dead RIP

Gary Glitter = still alive

There`s no justice in this world is there...

[pookyroxon]

@GoldenOldiesOn45RPM freddie 4 ever

[loxiify]

Szerettem őket!!!

[MauREAPER1313]

Welcome to Disco's Time!

[germanwrestler1]

BEST BAND EVER!!!

[ekriebler]

oh yeah!!!!!!!!!

[dinarathirty]

Amazing sounds still. Will live forever. Such energy. Massive. Sad that some of these guys are not with us anymore.

[ONLOOKERHOOKER]

These are THEreal bands not like todays taylor made paper doll fit for the kids crap, this is the good stuff

[TheRiseAgainstFan93]

Someone get me those outfits please!! xDD

[SeattleLA]

@TheRiseAgainstFan93 Hi. I love those costumes also. I have determined only 2 ways to get ones like it. First, get a seamstress or tailor who is familar with fashion. Then, they watch the videos you like. With their skills, they can make what you want. Fabric stores will help you choose the material. The only other way I have found, is in the West End of London, UK, where this is popular. Shops sell them. I am going to do both of these for my band's outfits. It took a long time to learn tnis.

[therealdefpunk]

The artichoke with the guitar in his hands has a so remarkable voice. 

[hullthebull]

and mick on drums died of cancer , with brian long gone SWEET are just as we remember them , living the glam life of the 70's xx

[gpr150961]

Delírio geral, uhuuu! Muito bala, dos mais tri! Minha época...

[brooklea98]

My friend didn't like the beginning of the song, but I personally think it's very considerate of Brian to make sure his bandmates were ready!

[HotKayla103]

@brooklea98 I said the same thing! That is very nice of Brian lol

[wingully]

@brooklea98 you ready to rock n roll

[northernraider]

You youngsters should have seen this once bubble pop band when they became hard glam rockers, I saw em live many times across the UK and they just rocked every town into submission.

[gothicsakura82]

the singer looks like mi mother in law

[924babycakes]

Who sings the chorus pretty much like the "I see a man in the back as a matter of fact his eyes are as red as the sun" part??? Cuz he freaking gave me goosebumps he was tht awesome not trying to state the obvious but really what's his name!?!?!?

[northernraider]

@924babycakes

Steve Priest

[northernraider]

@924babycakes

Twas mad Steve Priest who still tours today, sadly Brian Connelly the lead singer died some years ago.

With Sweet and Ballroom Blitz, Teenage Rampage and Blockbuster, Plus Alice Coopers Schools out, and the other yteen rebellion music no town centre was safe in the early seventies, I saw hard tough cops flee from a tidal wave of teens coming out of T trex concerts

[xxDRESSuptime]

One of the best bands ever !!!

Forget about this shit which you can see in the top 10 today.

THIS is music. REAL music.

[TheXandaorock]

this band is pretty cool guy d +

ASIN: barzil am

[biskpinch]

LOVE THIS!

[khgisel]

me encanto mucho desde que lo conoci en el guitar hero de los '80 n.n

[TheMsautobodyman]

[thenerdisback10]

oops, I meant 13

[thenerdisback10]

I'm 123 and I love classic rock, music nowadays sucks.

[BananaJSSI]

Classic!

[bolosliliana]

SUPER SUPER SUPER

[muzikkraz]

Other than Ziggy Stardust & the Spiders from Mars, who was a better glam-band than the Sweet?

One has to admit, the bass player steals the show, among other things...lol

[666ilmark]

TOPCOM; i say Queen u can say the Nzareth, i say Hollies, u can Sweet, i say Three dogs night .....

[KelseySmileyful]

I'm 12 years old, my name is Kelsey. I'm the only kid in my whole school that loves the 70's,80's, and 90's. The rest listen to all the crappy present songs from Taylor Swift all the way to Britney Spears. I have nothing against them but this is the real music. Thumbs up if you agree& and think im amazing for my age listening to this wonderful music<3 ;D

[hollywoodfee]

@KelseySmileyful Finde ich echt klasse das Du so klassen musikgeschmack hast

[sandra1771994]

mein dad findet die sowas von hammer und mich und meine schwester hat er schon angesteckt ich finde die voll ok



[hollywoodfee]

@sandra1771994 Dein Vater hat echt Geschmack und ihr auch schon klasse . ich finde es klasse das es noch so viele Sweetfans gibt

[sandra1771994]

[endracismguy]

[it234561]

let the real music still alive

[tsoum09]

even crappy quality is soooooooooooooooo good...!!

[Jsoccer4lyfe]

@68bobba Are you freaking kidding me they are not the best, not anywhere close to the best to come from England! The Who, Rolling Stones, and oh yea the f*****g Beatles are all better. I'm not saying Sweet sucks, in fact I love this song, but there just not the best.

[68bobba]

@Jsoccer4lyfe The Sweet were the best band to come out of England during the Glam era....funny how yours is the only negative comment regarding my " opinion"....looks like a lot of people must agree with me....

[Vagranttoad]

To make some of you shake your head and feel really really old at the same time. I associate this song with Waynes World from when I was in 5th grade.

[kaareww]

Absolutely agrees with Bigmacdaddy! David Bowie; your cool. but this one is IT!

[YamersLexx]

Alot of the eariler songs they didn't even write. Their managers did. Later they dumped them and wrote their own music. Sweet Fanny Adams, they wrote. The music has a harder rock sound to it.

[TylersDonutCO]

gay as fuck wtf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SAHASTOR]

ШЫКАРНА !!!

oh yeah.. da fährt einem der Blitz wieder in die müden Knochen rein.gggg....
