Paula Yates interviews Brian Connolly of SWEET.

[lewisner]

What year was this?

[rockinrex]

Lady Gaga now owns those shoes.

[monkeysinmypocket]

From left to right: Dead, pedalo, guaranteed to be in the Christmas top 10 forever more, and dead. And Jools Holland was just as annoying in the 80s I see...

[Lytton333]

Funny really.. in the eighties, the seventies excesses seemed to be rather tasteless, but looking back on it now, I'd prefer the seventies to the somewhat hollow eighties.. Music didn't really improve overall as the eighties wore on did it..

[MrLayford65]

Brain connolly had the best rock voice ever he could sing the other two under the table. go listen to Hell Raiser, Action, Teenage Rampage and Ballroom Blitz just mind blowing songs.

[TheHumbuckerboy]

@MrLayford65 I totally agree ,BC could sing sugary pop and Hard Rock superbly .I believe that snobbery in the music press and also the fact that 'Joe Public' want to associate their declared musical tastes to "cool" bands and singers means that Brian's talent and his contribution has been under-valued .Sweet fans,however , realize that,when we listen to E.G the 'Give Us A Wink' album we are hearing some of the greatest vocals ever !

[danceman5000]

i miss gary

[rockon1898]

Two dumb sick lost souls - Paula Yates and Brian Connolly.

Thank God Roy Wood had much more sense than those two.

[lopezfma]

@rockon1898 Who is gone is Paula Yates..who needs to be gone is you...A.S.A.P

[leonaofficial]

I dreamt last night Paula Yates was in bed having sex with Michael Hutchence and Brian Connolly. All I can remember is Brian telling Michael to belt up and the next thing I woke up. Funny dream.

[skree100]

it is very easy with what we know now to slag glam rock. Gary

[Shadzan]

What a sad bitch, she didn't even acknowledge them by name, that is so rude, how did she ever get that job?????

[shane69999]

cause she married someone famous... she s nobody

[sclapione]

@shane69999 Bullshit .... she was a very charming lady, not many like her around

[wildenfree]

Sad what happened to Brian. I saw the sweet right at the end of Brians life and he was a shadow of his former self. One drink too many.

[moorlock2003]

Wizzard were a far cry from The Move; a few decent tunes but too 1950s-ish and cartoonish for my tastes. Wizzard would seem more of a fit for this silly interview.

[moorlock2003]

Kinda sad to see Roy Wood there. The Move were a tremendous band and he deserves far better than this, but then so does Brian Connelly. The Sweet were fantastic too.

[moorlock2003]

This is an example of why a lot of musicians dislike being interviewed; dumbbell interviewers who talk about silly things that have nothing to do with music or if they talk about music they fail to do any proper research and know next to nothing about the artist. A total waste of time.

[palisium]

Look at Gary's shirt, a message to Paula she should have listen to...Gary did that on purpose haha

[rip906]

LOVE HER VOICE,AND ACCENT.

[brooklandsboys]

2 out of 4 dead, 1 unlikely to appear in public again. Bit disturbing if you think about it...

[potzplatz]

Interesting to note that they are all dead now with the exception of Glitter which could be said career wise is dead

[chantillyembrace]

Ol Roy Wood aint dead yet is he?...crap i hope not

[stardustinthezodiac]

No he aint!!!!!!!

[ofunch]

When is this from ?

[NikkiClo]

Gary Glitter..you won't see him on the telly again!

[Dyynamo]

Of course you will. He's always on the news.

[clairabell08]

Brian looks really well there and I wish he would have beaten the f****** crap out of that scum bag gary glitter what a pervert!!!

[DonsonDK]

Agree.

[aks8]

Moorlock , that is Paula Yates who died of an overdose . She was married to Bob Geldof and later with Michael Huchens from INXS . Dont slag her off she dosnt deserve it. She was a good presenter .

[moorlock2003]

I'm sorry she's dead, but really, what a lousy interviewer.

[aks8]

Look ,she was a realy cool girl who was very bright and didnt bow down to pop stars no matter who they were and people respected her for that. Paula and Jools Holland changed the way music programs were made forever .

[moorlock2003]

In nearly four minutes, there is not one mention of music. All she does is comment on the clothes, including asking them why they didn't throw them away. I repeat, a lousy interviewer.

[aks8]

Moorlock you are a TWAT . Cant you see this has been taken out of context and was a piece on glam . If you dont understand the program then dont comment. Dont you think Brian and the others knew what they were doing there!!!!

[pinklesley]

She famously set the trend for every young female presenter on TV these days.

[moorlock2003]

Yes, sounds like she started the "empty-headed bimbo inteviewer" trend.

[sundaeg1rl]

ROY WOOD! cooool

[moorlock2003]

I wish I could throw HER away! This woman is insufferable! She's got three rock and roll stars in front of her, and she's a downright idiot.

[stevejw1947]

Now Now have some respect for the dead.Thats Paula Yates ex wife of bob geldof who tragically died in 2000. R.I.P.Paula And Brian.

[BAYCITYROLLERBOY]

Get that Gary Glitter off youtube.

[funkemariechen62]

[mari12rock]

Even more! Thanks SO MUCH for finding and putting up these brilliant interviews. It so good to know fans all over the world looking out for each other with stuff like this! 5 stars.

[andersnuuu]

Thanks for uploading!

When was this?

[spicegirl7]

Looks like uk tv around 85-86.

[fangsta23]

Brian doesnt look to bad here, it must be earlier 1980's. Garry is funny with his comment "I think times have changed a lot",

must of pissed brian off a bit..

[6PBP6]

You are right, it was from a program called "The Tube" on Channel 4 UK around 1984/85 (back in the days when we only had 4 channels).

It used to be on every Friday with Jools Holland too. This clip features Brian Connolly, Roy Wood (Wizzard) and Gary Glitter when he was one of Britain's favourite celebrities!

Belive it or Not, Garry Glitter even featured on "This is Your Life", although not all aspects of his life were covered (if you get what I mean). Connolly was a guest on that too.

[HisWestiness]

cool :-D thanks for uploading!!
