And just look at the crap 80's suit the interviewer is wearing. Despite what they said about the seventies, it is eighties fashion that time will most despise. Mick, I hope for your sake you are not still a smug creep
who the fuck is mick brown . ooppsss sorry didnt mean to swear but people like this make me feel sick . who is going to remember him , i dont even know the silly git . brians going to live on for ever
Mike Brown you sir are a cunt and I hope you end your days quite miserably surrounded by ppl who exude the smugness and piousness you display in this pseudo-interview. Stick to announcing records as interviewing and research are clearly not your forte.
You are no Howard Stern in fact you are not even Howard the duck.
Brian has certainly made it with dignity. Anyway, he didn't let them to get him ripped to shreds, instead, he recovered himself in the eyes of many. Those two clowns couldn't let him down. He was a great man.
Brian was just an all around good person and those who criticize him are just jealous of his talents from everything I have gathered so shove it up your asses I say
Poor Brian Connelly. Such cowards picking on a Rock Legend Band of the seventies. It was obvious to see he was suffering from an alcohol problem too but to rub it in. WHat cowards. And who was the sarcastic ponce wearing pretending to be an oversized Brian look-alike? The kind of guy someone would like to punch.
I've played music for years and have seen fellow band-mates devolved into addiction sad as it is.Some are now fucked up its that simple.I was no angel believe me,drank far too much but shit happens. I had toured too and can testify to the pressure,and inter-band conflicts and I never even got famous.
Shame that alcohol had bad effects on Brian,I've seen other musicians drink insanely and come out better.
RIP Brian and Mick we still love ya! Steve and Andy come on and make amends!!
Check out Mick Brown in his (self-penned) Wikipedia entry...He's not done anything, unless you count the books he's (co) written about people who ARE well known...Hopefully he's now dead
Loooooser Cunt taking the piss, Bri should have punched him ! 60s/70s RULE, Brian RULES, 80s were a sad pile of shit ! And btw, his name is CONNOLLY NOT Connelly !!!
Loooooser Cunt taking the piss, Bri should have punched him ! 60s/70s RULE, Brian RULES, 80s were a sad pile of shit ! And btw, his name is CONNOLLY NOT Connelly !!!
Misleading video title that has biased the opinions of some die-hard Sweet fans before they even watched it.
Back in the 80s everybody cringed over 70s clothes & hairstyles. Connelly wasn't "ripped to shreds" by the interviewers. There were no personal slurs. It was purely banter relating to a fashion considered 'dated' by the 80s.
@BigEricHunt Well Well ! Here we have a prime example of self diagnosed Carpet Pilot Syndrome folks ! Baaaah Baaaah ! A big hairy what's his name again ?
@fraudexposer Connelly was fronting a nostalgia band. You know the concept: Same hair, same clothes, same songs - but afflicted by the ravages of time (especially in Connelly's case - due to alcoholism & illness). Had the interviewers wanted to "rip him to shreds" they could have focussed on his alcoholism - interspersed with old Sweet footage to emphasise how much he'd physically deteriorated. Instead, they joked about the fashion. Disrespectful at worst, but nothing he couldn't handle.
@BigEricHunt The title is apt. It is quite apparent that fashions are trends - so in years to come you will not like what you once wore.
Everybody in the 80s did not rip the 70s fashion either. I was very aware in the 80s that the fashions change and 80s fashions would eventually be out of vogue.
BC was not responsible for 70s fashion and frankly what is shown are stage costumes. It was just a lazy piece of interviewing to snicker at Brian's expense. Covering up the guy cannot interview.
Ripped? No! Disrespected? A little, especially by the loser wearing his old clothes. Some of this seemed to be just good humoured fun. But then it get's into two little pricks trying to be the "clever one." Honestly, I truly HATE guys that act like "clever" little bitches.
All I know is, Brian Connolly still has a whole bunch of fans. I don't know anyone who's a fan of these two interviewer douchebags...or knows who they are even...or gives two shoots,
I would'nt say ripped to shreds but this interview is really awkward mostly because the interviewers are shit, the comment about 'poor misguided people' was a bit wankerish but Brian handled it all pretty well and did'nt come out looking bad at all the other two on the other hand made themselves look pretty stupid.
It don't matter what he was suffering from. These two numpties still belittled him and tried to destroy what little faith he had left in the human race.
Bit like the piss take humour they have on 'never mind the buzzcocks' were some current no mark gets to poke fun at someone who has at least been there and done it
. No idea who thse two losers are or what theyre doing now, which kinda sums it up. Connely was in one of the most succsesfull acts of the 70's, the lad burned it both ends and paid the ultimate price.
Brian Connely was one of the greatest performers who happened to have a problem with Alcohol...Rest In Peace Brian...You will be remembered by those who accepted you for who you were...
Who the hell were these little fuckers? They can only dream of the kind of success Brian enjoyed. Assholes... Are they even still in television? Doubt it.
Brians illness didn,t change the fact that he REMAINED sickenly gorgeous. He was totallyy beautiful, and always looked smart and hunky. You can,t say he was not these things.So it is near impossible to put down someone with these attributes. These guys were merely refering to these issues, That is what they were doing. That is also why they went on about his hair story too.
What a bunch of sad tossers. especially the last geezer .......what an unbelievable sad wanker!!!!! About the rest of the interview eh...... was that an interview? NO it was a waste of the short time Brian was given to be amongst us!
The wanker who came on was insulting, listen again, when they talk about his hair & how people liked it he replied "poor misguided people". I hope thats not Mick Brown from Gold radio (Capital Gold that was) who's doing the interview as I used to listen to him before he left. He was also a twat towards Brian, showed total contempt. Brian & sweet are still a big name & always will be, we arn't even sure who those 2 C*nts are!!!
I didnt see anything malicious at all. Brian IS a little shakey...unfortunately, 2 or 3 drinks would have brought him up to normal. Alcohol addiction's a bitch.
yes im not sure why you think he gets ripped to shreds, there are talking about rhe fashion not the bands music this was form night network i believe 1989 LWT production
I would not say that he got ripped to shreds but you can tell he is nervous and his voice is a bit shaky. He doesnt really want to talk about the papers and medias depiction of him. You can also tell that the alcohol use had taken a toll on him. The guy that came on wearing the outfit was a real wanker and was sarcastic and condesending.

The interviewer is a cocky fucking arsehole - nobody expects him to lick arse, but his attitude is cocky and smug.
The interviewer is now Brian's age and I hope so twenty-something just out of school wanker will treat him with equal contempt and snideness.
He is asking Brian to defend himself constantly through the interview which makes him a poor interviewer.
His agenda is to humiliate in order to be controversial- even the way he sits radiates superiority.
