Love Is Like Oxygen - Sweet | Andy & Alex FIRST TIME REACTION!

[@andyandalex]

Apologies for the wrong version it appears the version you’re all talking about isn’t on streaming, we grabbed the long version we saw available on streaming, when Alex is back in town can do a vid checking out the proper version!

[@marksmith4204]

please do :)

[@thomashartmann2891]

This is the version you’re looking for. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZSUpJp5iZyLaMUsi=mjYejbbS4ZvUljZa

[@kallsop2]

Cool. This is actually the short version and whoever did the remaster blew it.

[@kallsop2]

​@@thomashartmann2891That's the right one. Been listening to it since came out. My other favorite on that album is The Fountain.

[@Jalahr77]

This version seems to have a little better audio quality. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqmtoKyZeauEfLc

[@darrinvonstein6101]

Holy cow! I didn't realize that remastering a song could destroy it.

[@darrinvonstein6101]

B level recording of an A+ song ...

[@viclagina347]

No chit

[@toxic_badasss9656]

For real

[@doc_adams8506]

not remaster but re-recording! Ugh!

[@cej7519]

The original version is one of my favorite songs. I found listening to whatever this is painful.

[@gracegeek4678]

re-do, not the original.

[@keithfricke5049]

I think you’ll both raise your rating after listening to the long version. The middle interlude of that version takes the song to another level

[@AudiophileTubes]

Yes, it does!

[@Gymbo-Baggins]

No middle interlude break ..which makes this redundant as hell. I give this version a D for dis

[@craigborchard7424]

Absolutely!

[@gracegeek4678]

Not just re-master, this is a complete re-do. Disappointing. Original is way better.

[@robertcartier5088]

Indeed, there are even lyric changes! The extra echo-ish notes ruin the iconic sound. Very weird.

[@razorart1371]

Agreed.

[@TEverettReynolds]

I was just going to post the same thing. The old version was not so bright sounding, and had much better vocal enhancement. They seem to have thrown that all away and enhanced the instruments.

[@joeykopack]

You guys got to listen to the original version this one is not very good in comparison

[@maceomaceo11]

This is worse than the "Slowride" fiasco, almost.

[@jallereimer8293]

Wrong version

[@YouDummy]

One of those times it's actually true

[@strqrt70]

Yes. I can’t even watch.

[@debjorgo]

@@strqrt70 I knew it at the edit. What a pity.

[@thorolsen8057]

Need to do long version

[@adrianstevens2146]

My first thought, too. Album version is so much better!

[@asm4864]

Guys this is a re-recording it’s not the original 70’s version by the original line up. Disappointed to say the least the original is absolutely sublime!

[@SaverioP]

Guys, haven't we been thru this enough? It's simple. Play the original ALBUM version. How many times do you have to make the same mistake before you learn? Edit: Props to A&A for the quick acknowledgement. Looks like an honest mistake, and I look forward to your reaction to the real version. You might have dropped the ball today, but you're still the best out there by far.

[@viclagina347]

So pissed rn

[@jaydayton9781]

Missing out on good stuff when you stray from the album version....

[@jefframsay8399]

Yep not extended album version.

[@-Ricky_Spanish-]

The album is not on streaming. It looks like they played the version from the Hits collection. I hardly think they deserve the abuse they're getting here, they tried to get the right version it just wasn't there.

[@SteveSly-u1e]

Exactly! Always do the album version of any song.

[@jaquestraw1]

A&A getting hammered for the radio edit 😆 Damn it, play the album version!!! 🤣

[@viclagina347]

I insist

[@Mitschfibre]

Not just a radio edit, but a complete re-recording.

[@zebonaut]

@@Mitschfibre Propably without Brian Connolly or even not from Sweet completely..that sounds really strange..

[@John_Locke_108]

You guys would be over the moon if you heard the "correct" version. This one is just wrong.

[@zitabraun1176]

So wrong!

[@KathySandru]

This is the original version guys: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZSUpJp5iZyLaMUsi=D91CxvqarIf-WG1B.

[@simply_psi]

Yes, they need to do the full album version, either your link or there is a good high-quality remaster of the full-length version here, kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3myqmmjfr-lmdksi=3TWYr9GAyvOGvUOs

[@jeannie177]

👍👍👍👍

[@danhageman5443]

Thanks. Much appreciated!

[@michaelbrooks2670]

Never heard this version and I remember when the song was a hit.

[@paulspillman9413]

I thought the song I remember must have been a cover version or something. Tried searching for it.

[@djimaging2]

What version is this? Sounds like a demo

[@kathy2122]

We all wanted the long version, but we love you anyway.

[@brianmcfarland4854]

This was not the version to listen to. Thirty seconds in and I was wondering what's wrong with these speakers.

[@AudiophileTubes]

This is NOT the original! The original is phenomenal, especially the long version. Check out the videos too! Great band 'back in the day'. So much fun.

[@dougphelps6917]

I seem to remember the vocals being a bit more clear in the original version.

[@jeffrogers2180]

This doesn't even sound like the same singer.

[@Mr.Greeeeeen]

@@jeffrogers2180It’s not Brian, the original singer.

[@zitabraun1176]

This version is so different.

[@tas22222]

oh man, the flack you two are going to take on this tune is real !! gotta do a redo if not for us but yourselves :)

[@BoltManiac]

This version is not nearly as good as the one that got all the airplay.

[@dawngipe6324]

Agree!!!

[@ozzieray]

Agree

[@surlechapeau]

A&A, great song, but should have done 6:57 (album version). We told you the longer version!!

[@viclagina347]

Many times we told them FAIL

[@mobanewman7139]

I thought, "How different can a remastered version be?" Well, within a few bars I was fully aware. SO different...Wow!

[@carlfisher3924]

I'm guessing, not remastered but re-recorded by lead singer Brian Conolly and studio musicians. I've seen the album Brian Conolly's Sweet in the bargain bins but never actually heard it

[@craigtennant7637]

This is not the version that got airplay, yet it’s great

[@BoltManiac]

I thought this was off. You’re right.

[@gregsteele806]

Not the album version with the extended instrumental either. :(

[@kevdarby9460]

Heard this a thousand times-but never this version!

[@SteveSly-u1e]

I don’t know where you guys found this version of the song, but it is not from the original album. It is a single edit version that cuts out the whole prog rock middle section of the song with guitar and keyboard solo. Even the mix on this one doesn’t sound like the original album. The album version of this song is about twice as long and much better than whatever this is.

[@HeyfordF]

I was confused as I listen to this . Realize I am getting old but I didn't remember this song sounding like this!? - then I read the comments!

[@cholomite]

Action is the ultimate Sweet song. The Sweetest, if you will.

[@jallereimer8293]

Do the album longer version

[@stevenmix3723]

Next is The Tubes, "White Punks on Dope." You are still missing so many artists you have never heard even once. And this is a glaring omission.

[@adrianstevens2146]

The video of that song is hilarious, always loved The Tubes! Good post! "What do you want from life?" is another good one of theirs. "She's a Beauty" actually made the charts, I think...but a later departure from their earlier, crazier stuff.

[@anglosaxon5874]

Love this song. One of my favourite Sweet songs! Im 62 and remember them all well! Those were the days....so much better than now!

[@DoakFelix-qr8uw]

A&A, thank you for the video and sharing your journey with us. The journey is not always smooth, and sometimes wrong turns are taken. You couldn’t have known that this was a wrong turn on the GPS. Been listening to classic rock radio for over 40 years and I’ve never heard this version. Don’t tell me that the original is gone and that this is what is left for posterity. It’s not just remastered, it’s been re-recorded.

[@333perfection]

SWEET was my very first rock concert. They opened up for FOGHAT. Both were great. I'm now(62), and have been to so many more concerts, but that night was the COOLEST. A fan of SWEET in Hanover,PA👍🎶😁

[@pommie5093]

That must have been awesome!

[@brucekaufman7014]

The original is what you want!

[@how-to-linux.]

Wrong version > short version of the wrong version > so many wrong things here > open a window and let some of the wrong out. We demand the classic studio long version.

[@nancysmith38]

They make me think of early 10CC.

[@alangreenley3257]

slade,slade.slade, please play some more slade how does it feel, or anything off the slade alive album

[@carlfisher3924]

Know who you are... Ta! Ta very much!

[@jeffreyprehn5768]

Gudbuy T'Jane is the song to play folks!

[@scottingram7634]

Every song from these guys was a banger.

[@jimigroov]

You have got to react to the original long version - you will be blown away

[@bryanforis1839]

There great at what they did was the group when I was younger great live performance

[@danmayberry1185]

Def hearing 10CC in the chorus structure

[@billsantospianomore678]

I have been listening to this song since the 1970s, the longer album version and the shorter radio version, but I have never heard this version until now.

[@jamiemaloney1552]

You gotta do Sweet's Teenage Rampage next.

[@Renkk17]

Sweet - Teenage Rampage! Another Great Song

[@moeruss2726]

I just love watching you 2 listening to these oldies but goodies rock songs. Way before my time but I’ve learned to appreciate these older songs. Both of you are just adorable when you get lost in the sauce! ❤

[@gracegeek4678]

Well, I just checked again, and the list of re-actors who have re-acted to Yes "Changes" (studio version) keeps growing. Guys, give it a listen.

[@donnadubyak6504]

Never noticed but this drummer really rocks.

[@johnnyjga]

I never listened close enough to this one. Man it's been years but what a great tune.

[@williamjones6031]

Criminally underrated. I'm not their biggest fan, but I've loved every song I've heard.

[@jeffrogers2180]

They'll get to hear the original version eventually, and all will be well in the world.

[@MarkFreeman-kd2hz]

When I see you were doing this song, I had to watch. I grew up in the 70s, Totally loved this song. Brings back memories at the lake in the summertime. I will say I liked the original much better.❤😮😅😊

[@bethcrumpton476]

As soon as I saw that the video was only nine minutes long, I knew this was not the right version.

[@carloslozada470]

This is not the original version check it out this is probably the rerecord version because of copyright and or financial dispute

[@carlfisher3924]

Brian Conolly's Sweet re-do I'm guessing. I've seen it but never touched it.

[@dgator3599]

As an 8th grader when this was released back in '78, I rocked out to this song. Still do. It's on my driving playlist. Back then I was driving my mom's Pinto LOL! Now a Mustang GT. Sounds like the shortened radio version.

[@Tbass-yy8uc]

Little Willie is my favorite song by them you guys need to check that out

[@vovindequasahi]

Sweet had a perfect mix of hard rock and pop, and are probably responsible for the entire glam rock and metal movement of the 80's! Still they fucking rock, and you can't blame them for what was to come!

[@TheMirolab]

While the original may be lower fidelity, it sounds SOOOO much better. The original is simply magical.... and this re-recording is just OK. I think bands like Sweet do this is because they don't own the original recording, so they re-record it to get better pay for purchases and streaming.

[@auntvesuvi3872]

I've always loved this one! 💎 Many thanks to Andy and Alex.

[@DrumAndDrumber]

Never heard this version. Is this even Sweet?

[@JamesOBrien-tr2eo]

Years ago I had to buy a Sweet greatest hits import from the UK just to get the original extended version, I've no idea what version that was you reacted too. "Sweet- Love is like Oxygen (12" long version) is the KZbin vid of the album cut.

[@craigborchard7424]

You owe us one!!! And that one is "This Beat Goes On/Switchin' to Glide" by The Kings. One of THE great one-hit wonders.

[@scarpad]

And it’s my favorite sweet song too😢

[@RandyHall324]

Love is like Oxygen!!? ...and what looked like a home run goes foul with the wrong version. Deep sigh - I'd been waiting for this one!

[@viclagina347]

I have been requesting this for over a year and then this fail

[@yjkhjghftf]

Saw all of the comments about the album version. It'd been so long since I heard it. But I agree. It changes the whole dynamic of the song. Sort of a cross between PF "Animals" and Alan Parsons Project.

[@kdm71291]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed the issue....to say the least! I have a best of Sweet CD....love it!

[@zenclover8468]

I'm glad im not the only one that caught this wasn't the original. I thought maybe it just sounded different on my computer speakers for a while.

[@bugvswindshield]

Fantastic song! This band had a HUGE first album , then went no where. Rumor has it this is the band the movie " Spinal Tap" is based on. it does fit.

[@V7avalon]

a remaster is a second print of the master record with no changes, called a 2nd remastering. people are confused this is a remix where they try to make a song sound better and clearer with altered tonalities and insturment loudness the vocals are way off in this remix more like autotuneallity 🤣 You can't fix perfection stop remixxing the great classics ❤🎸

[@flubblert]

Yeah it's amazing how so few people actually know what remastered means. It's not about tampering with the mix.

[@gigantor62]

No, it's a bootleg copy. There are no members of Sweet on this record.

[@darrylvonrokk]

Sweet had so many great songs! Ballroom Blitz Fox On The Run Little Willy ACDC No You Don't Set Me Free Into The Night Restless Cover Girl Action Wig Wam Bam I Wanna Be Committed

[@CCDzine]

Little Willy!

[@carlfisher3924]

Won't go home!

[@timriehl1500]

Sweet is so great. I love listening to this group.

[@marybostick428]

Hearing this reminded me of another group, from about the same time period, and I hope you’ll check them out. The Baby’s. Every time I Think Of You, back on my feet again, isn’t it time. Such great songs, from wonderful time! Do yourselves a favor, and treat your ears

[@alvillanueva2525]

"Set Me Free" is one of their best.

[@iKvetch558]

Aw yeah! This one is a total banger...definitely one of Sweet's all time best! Always glad to see these guys find this terrific older material.

[@benninger123]

Sweet had a lot of great tunes , i loved these guys . Not given as much credit as they deserved. High voices.

[@robertheckman8013]

Sounds like a "cover" of the original by a Sweet tribute band. Close, but no cigar.

[@tomcookman7202]

This is an actual re-performance..I don't think that's even Brian singing the lead vocal here? But, thanks for playing Sweet! Please check out the heavy and fast songs..ahead of their time!

[@jeremiahrose4681]

This song is so fun with headphones

[@jamesvomsaal]

Need the long version

[@mlespaul]

Come in, Andy. Come in Alex. The CORRECT version (full original length from Level Headed album) has just shown up on Spotify as The Sweet - Love is Like Oxygen. It is released as the "My Best Friend's Girl Soundtrack" (2008).

[@Flowerchick1967-tq1vn]

Finally! 🎉👏🏻 Thanks!

[@guichogf5636]

Sweet was such a good band, excellent musicians. Personal favorite is No You Don't

man..theres some Heavy ELO vibes going on here! Love IT!!

[@davestr7031]

Sweet doing their very best Ambrosia imitation.

[@magicbrownie1357]

It's been so long since I heard this song, I can't say if this is the right version or not. Sounds a bit different than I remember. Still a great song.

[@davidheiser2225]

This was like biting into a cheeseburger, only to find it's a veggie burger with velveeta. Maybe not horrible, but definitely not satisfying.

[@bobdelp2023]

[@o_krush67]

I remember the first time I heard this.....I was 10......riding in the car with my momfrom down town Nashville to the burbs. Have loved it ever since....

[@Ldastro]

Yes, please on the LP version. To me, the background vocals in the chorus are affirming the singer, letting him know he is correct in his statement. Also please consider their hit Fox on The Run as well as No You Don't, which Pat Benatar later covered.

[@viclagina347]

They did Foxy

[@Ldastro]

@@viclagina347 my bad, Can't remember all their vids and not running to the chart each time I post but thank you!!

[@peterborchers410]

The drummer in the original version was Mick Tucker, who died much too early. He had incredible skills and was absolutely underrated as a drummer.

[@BufordT]

Guys, please have someone knowledgeable with these songs preview the version you plan on using. This was not the one you were looking for.

[@scarpad]

And this is the biggest augment for physical media right here

[@strqrt70]

This is not the original song. It’s a remake. Sounds like a different vocalist.

[@vadave311]

Everybody calm down. I've heard the song since it came out and I really did not even notice that it was not the original.

[@Grizazzle]

Me too. Bought it on 45 and played the hell out of it. I noticed the difference with this version immediately!! Get your ears checked!

[@mikeford5678]

Sweet are massively underrated. Seeing as you’re in a 70’s mood, Gimme Gimme Gimme by ABBA needs to be on your radar

[@msfoodiediva]

Little willie and ballroom blurz should be next

[@TheSoloAsylum]

What am I listening to, I don't remember this song like this.

[@TheRokjok]

Please... do appropriate research... US Capitol Records Album, Sweet "Level Headed" was the lp the original version was on. This short and remixed version sucks. Please research and find the original versions. (This is not the first time the wrong version had been reacted to on your channel) Maybe you should ask your viewers what versions they want to hear. This version is nowhere near the incredible original long album version. Sorry guys this is one of the reasons I do not watch your channel as much as I used to.

[@crunchyhippo8957]

This isn't the radio version. I recognize the song, but it's like it's some kind of re-do. I'm used to the original, so I don't care for this one so much. It's still a great song that reminds me of my high school days.

[@jvmonte6638]

Sadly, you played the wrong version. This is not what I grew up with. What you’re looking for is not even the short version but the long album version which is over 6 minutes long which has elements of perfectly executed prog rock Love your channel boys
