Andy Scott has a version of Sweet going and so does Steve Priest, so what version is this?Plus, how could you call this band Sweet with only one original member?Oh wait, there's Guns 'n' Roses!
I would rather see a band with one or two of the original members, any day, than a tribute band. For one reason, the sheer panache of it, plus few, if any tribute bands still can touch the musicianship of the original, therefore, when I am in Europe, I will try to see Sweet. I was around during the era, and it is still exciting to see bands. Who would ever have thought that we could see YES, Sweet, etc. in 2011? I mean, it is great. Sure, they look diffident, but it is still an honor to see them
Looks like the sweet have been made into a cabaret band.......shame, they were bloody good in their hayday.
We went to a sixties weekend a few years ago, it was very good but lots of the bands only featured 1 original member, some featured none!
They had a Hollies "type" band on doing all the hits very well but they only had 1 original Holly, who happened to be the original bass player who left long before the hits started.
Enjoy these bands for what they are, don't take them too seriously.
@orriblebob what if they are cabaret ? How ridiculous do you think they would look if they were ancient rockers..yes they would be a parody of themselves.
Hmmmmmmmm 1 original band member - Andy natch!, 2 dead and 1 living in USA into property dealing - rock and roll!.........Big Sweet fan by the way, used to play Hell Raiser and Ballroom Blitz on the record player before school in '73.......yep that old! and saw them live in '74.......ears rang for days, still loudest band I've seen and I've seen Motorhead since - no contest
This video is from 2004 - Just because you can hear some people in the back ground doesn't mean that the audio is correct. I didn't say they suck, i said i think they synced that clip is all. lots of people do that. You just said "gr8 2 see them still going" wtf man? it's 2011. this clips terrible. i am sure you can find a batter clip somewhere that is more up to date and not synced. SDP1677 - cheese ass mfer
i watched this one twice now - i would have to , and really really want to, hear and see them in person to make a 100% judgment but just from examining this vid here - i would have to say that hey are lip syncing so that they can sound like they used to. makes me sad to say that though. they are heros of rock. It is possible though that they just can't do it like it supposed to be done now though - we all get old. I hope I am wrong. :O( sweet rocks.
@RockAnAhardSpot I have seen the current Andy Scott's Sweet (new Bass player now) and believe me they can pull off the original sounds. Andy always did the high falsetto and still does. He is both amazing guitarist and singer. All 4 of the band sing, so the big harmonies are all still there. They play a lot in Holland & Germany, but now and then can be seen in UK and other countries. Catch them if you can, seriously you won't be disappointed. can't say the same about Steve Preist's Sweet in USA
@RockAnAhardSpot you think they was mimeing m8?? ROFL!! u can here the crowd applording in the background u idiot!! LONG LIVE THE SWEET. Brill 2 see the guys r still going in 2011!!!
It is awesome to see the pictures of the original Sweet with Brian being slipped in here.Thanks for keeping it alive..,rip Brian and Mick.Lost but not forgotten.
this is total bullshit, they are singing on top of a recorded track. the music and vocals are prerecorded and they are pretending to be some great vocal band.
It is The Sweet , the one run by original guitarist Andy Scott and the vocals is Tony O Hora , but i believe there is someone else in lead vocals present day , this video is from 2004, the song is from 1975.
Even though Brian Connolly is no long lead vocals i have seen these play at our local Hall For Cornwall, and they are the nearest anyone alive TODAY will get to see The Sweet live.
Look at the crowd-90% were released from the nursing home to get exercise- this video is a county fair gig-LOL- didnt i see the lead singer working at wal-mart !!
I was just a kid when they came out and always liked their music.It was very good for drag racing it always gave me that extra edge and chicks dig it.
@vnz75 No I'm not stupid you prat!..I realise they are a send up of Sweet with Andy on guitar there.At least he looks like hime but they are not SWEET!
@967150 im 15 and i agree the music today is absolutely pathetic. people thinking they are all gangsta by saying yo and in da house and all of the techno that 90% of people are starting to get into under the age of twenty just sounds like computerised onnoying noise and the makers always sound shit live because they don't have the aid of a magic microphone. i can't help but think what music will be like in twenty years. if you can call it music. it makes me sad.
You're 15? You sound about seventy. For Fucks sake go and enjoy your youth before it disappears completely. Or stop pretending you're fifteen. Whatever comes easiest.
@illman76 Someone is giving me shit over the internet.. it is going to scar me for life. im happy, a have friends and shit and are you assuming im not enjoying my youth because of my comment.... wow... so i fucking hate todays music. does that mean im unhappy and shit?.. i'll tell you something, assumig so much when you don't know me is kinda ignorant. JUST SAYING. don't bother replying. i don't care what you say.
@illman76 Not being illiterate doesn't mean advanced age or lack of fun, jackass. It's nice for some of us to be able to read Utube comments w/o needing an idiot deciphering system.
haha i loved this so much when i saw it on tv i had to look it up again. im fourteen and i was with like 8 friends and we were killing time and this came on. We all thought it was gonna be old and boring. but we all loved it
@readmycomments100 EXACTLY the same happened to me. Ok I didn't watch it with 8 friends, but when I saw this performance on TV about 2 years ago I was nothing but fascinated ^-^ lasted till today and I'm a big fan now :)
this kind of music is the best there ever will be.. I'm just 16 and I listen to 70's 80's music every day.. I hate that shitpop music and that kind of shit.. This is way and way better.. Sweet RHCP AC/DC and so on are the fcking best!!
The singer just sounds terrible. Good for Andy for trying to keep the "Sweet" up but sounds awful, compared to the original, very "nasal" voice like Motley Crue or something like that. Good bless Brian!!!.
Sounds like a kevin Debrow wanna be singing but it's still not bad. Iwould go see them. I like it. It's hard to replace certain singers and this guy plays guitar too.
I was lucky enough to work with the original 70's The Sweet and believe me Brian would be only happy about one thing, that someone remembers him and I am sure he is smiling at this, long live his legacy and music.
To Brian's climbing out and after the Sweet flopped in the 80s, should Andy have finished the chapter "Sweet". Thus only one monument is destroyed, because everything what started afterwards as "Andy Scott's Sweet" can not even get roughly at this what Sweet in the 70s made so unmistakeable and unique. Lots of love from Germany.
My favorite was Steve Priest. I think Andy should have kept his other lead singer he had a very powerful voice. I don't like this guy, but it's a great song;)
If you want to see the true musician behind this take a look at BAROCKESTRA Fantastic Guitar work from Steve Grant who's never appreciated for the talent he gives to these bands
It seems impossible to me that still they support this magic and this potential. The voices continue giving surprises to the contemporary history of the rock.
This is just shit its like when they tried reuniting queen without freddie mercury and the doors without jim morrison the sweet without brian connoly just dosent work.
@tonymontana1974 The thing is that some folk were not lucky enough to be able to go see bands like Queen and Sweet live, this may not be as good as the original line up, but it gives you a taste of what they were like, better than nothing, or a DVD, i suppose
@RockbertoRocks I am so glad to hear someone recognise Steve Priest. He had a very powerful voice and very much a classic metal voice. I would love to have heard him do more vocal work.
'I gots more bitches and money so you best stfu before I bust a cap in yo ass'
'ooh baby, baby, baby, baby (20 more times), lets take it off and get nasty in the motel wit some crack and treat me like a ho'
There's nothing like watching Limp Bizkit make millions with his rap version or the Who's Behind Blue Eyes complete with the usual mindless repetition and Speak and Spell cameo.
fucking boomers, you grew up eating orange and cheese flavoured substitute and now that translates to your music. go do the mom clap at a 150$/seat fleetwood mac "reunion"
Thank theuncle321 for the answer. I have here something about "Andy Scott's Sweet". Is a good version, energic, but obviously in the seventies was another thing... I'm agree with Unitedsredarmy, without Connolly the real Sweet can't exist. But time will pass for everyone in the end...
Connolly was killed by alcoohol, but who we think we are for judicate? So many musicians was killed or destroyed or loose they're mind for alcoohol or drugs, just like so much guys in the street every day...
A great version! Too many rockers (Bob Seger, et al) change the music because they're just too old. Sweet always kicked ass and always will. Fox On the Run is one of those tunes that always gives you a spark. If you've got 'em, smoke 'em!
@ccjr39 What you see here is "AS" - Andy Scott's Sweet!
Andy (founder and last surviving hero of my childhood days) is the guitar player to the left.The other guys are replacements,sure, since Steve lives in the US and doesn't do tours anymore.
I was lucky enough to see a concert of them here in Munich in early 2008.Belive me mate: they are still great!
Sounds really good. Saw them live in April 2011 and God, they rock hard! Sweet are fantastic.

@tonymontana1974 Ya, we should respect Brian's memory and his body of work and not slander it like this...

@tonymontana1974 The thing is that some folk were not lucky enough to be able to go see bands like Queen and Sweet live, this may not be as good as the original line up, but it gives you a taste of what they were like, better than nothing, or a DVD, i suppose

@RockbertoRocks I am so glad to hear someone recognise Steve Priest. He had a very powerful voice and very much a classic metal voice. I would love to have heard him do more vocal work.

What? And miss out on all the:
'kill yourself, lets all just commit suicide'
'I gots more bitches and money so you best stfu before I bust a cap in yo ass'
'ooh baby, baby, baby, baby (20 more times), lets take it off and get nasty in the motel wit some crack and treat me like a ho'
There's nothing like watching Limp Bizkit make millions with his rap version or the Who's Behind Blue Eyes complete with the usual mindless repetition and Speak and Spell cameo.

And why is that so? because it's very easy to have a statement without arguments to suppress that.

@Maxwell2323 Especially in the 1970's.
There are so many reasons why this decade was THE GREATEST, that I cannot even begin to list them here.

Thank theuncle321 for the answer. I have here something about "Andy Scott's Sweet". Is a good version, energic, but obviously in the seventies was another thing... I'm agree with Unitedsredarmy, without Connolly the real Sweet can't exist. But time will pass for everyone in the end...
Connolly was killed by alcoohol, but who we think we are for judicate? So many musicians was killed or destroyed or loose they're mind for alcoohol or drugs, just like so much guys in the street every day...

A great version! Too many rockers (Bob Seger, et al) change the music because they're just too old. Sweet always kicked ass and always will. Fox On the Run is one of those tunes that always gives you a spark. If you've got 'em, smoke 'em!

@ccjr39 What you see here is "AS" - Andy Scott's Sweet!
Andy (founder and last surviving hero of my childhood days) is the guitar player to the left.The other guys are replacements,sure, since Steve lives in the US and doesn't do tours anymore.
I was lucky enough to see a concert of them here in Munich in early 2008.Belive me mate: they are still great!

Ive seen em few years back in our local Hall for Cornwall in Truro.
Andy Scott is still as cool as he looked in the 70s, well worth seeing

Sorry, that's kind of disappointing... isn't it.. oh well back to the 70s I guess :)
