What a legend!! Met Steve after a gig March 1973. Such a lovely down to earth guy, I fell in love with him then and my heart still jumps a beat when I hear his beautiful voice now. He may be 71yrs old and looks a bit tired, so would anyone if they had worked as hard over the years. Most 71yr olds are retired but Steve is still doing what he loves. My only wish is for him to tour in England again. Please, please come back. Love you Steve priest. Sue. Xxx❤️❤️

@@INDIEPOWERTV Then why do you keep posting things about him needing to "freshen up" and other derogatory comments like this one? Also, when giving an interview, you might want to let the subject answer the question instead of cutting them off just to hear yourself talk. It's disrespectful to prattle on over the person you're supposed to be interviewing.

Steve Priest was such a GREAT entertainer and would be fun to hang with. He, and the rest of the Band were taken advantage of by the horrible greed in that business. On the plus side, their music will carry on and WE know who made it great. My dog at the time was named Willie, who was a German Shepard - Collie that lived over 17 years, and I attribute that to us singing Little Willie to him, and I remember Willie when we did the Ballroom Blitz, wish I had a cell phone cam for those times.....Thanks Steve, wishing you the best...always!

Yes, just as the interview gets really interesting talking about Brian, the dickhead doing the interview let's it slip away. I saw a Brian interview denying he was a drinker at all until after he left the band. Even during that interview he slipped up when he recounted being more of a beer drinker in the past. Brian's demise, which I guess was Sweet's, is something you don't get to hear about too much. And this guy had his chance and blew it. And how hard would it be to not throw the dog in another room. That chomping sound throughout was a little distracting. I think Steve is the most interesting member of them all and I always get a kick watching his antics on stage.

According to a tv documentary that I have from the mid 90's while Brian was still around. He said that he, and Andy Scott did not really get on. And another band member, I think, Mick Tucker, said, "If it came to Fistey Cuffs" then I am leaving. Not sure if that was true, but it's sad to know when Brian was going through alot of health problems at the time. Both Brian and Mick sadly no longer with us. Steve and Andy keep up the good work keeping the "Sweet" alive.

Absolutely the first song I ever downloaded back in the day of Napster was Ballroom Blitz from The Sweet. Later in the KZbin era of music, I found Desolation Boulevard and it's become one of my top 10 all time albums. Such a fun band! And I love the hooks and hard rock sound. I contend The Sweet is essentially the first Heavy Metal band,. When you consider what happened in the 80's with all the make up, catchy choruses, wild costumes, and hard rocking sound, am I wrong for thinking The Sweet started it all? Steve seems really cool. I wonder if he still makes those crazy eyes like he used to in those old performances. And I also wonder if he hits that freakishly high pitched vocal when he plays live. I've sung Ballroom Blitz on Kareoke and struggled immensely with it. It was only alter that I realized it's a two man vocal arrangement. Brutal on one guy!

Sweet was around before my time, but i was fortunate to have an older uncle that was really into their early stuff. It thankfully rubbed off on me, their first two albums were so powerful, then it seems to me that they lost some of their power. I remember reading back in the mid 80's that Ritchie Blackmore was going to be producing a new album from them. I waited forever to hear any follow up info, but never heard anything again. I think many people forget how big they were in the 1970's.

You all knocked out some really memorable songs that will live on in our minds 4 - ever. Glad to see you are still around to talk about your times with the legendary "Sweet" One of my favourite bands from the early 70's and the main reason I tuned in every week to watch "Top of the Pops" Just to see "The Sweets" latest hit record. You were all better than most other "Glam" artists of that time. And you went on to do, what you do best, some quite heavy metal numbers after the "Glitter" had faded.

Agreed! I wonder if he knew about the interview in advance or had forgotten? Didn't think it polite to do it/film him until he was properly awake.

Please try to not to talk over the person you are interviewing. And asking questions that never end. And why begin every question "Obviously ..... " Makes me sad that he agreed to be interviewed by someone who made interesting subject matter into an ordeal to watch.

Great interview and very sad that Steve is no longer with us. One thing I’ve been wondering is why can’t ex 60’s and 70’s rock stars comb their hair?

I’m 66 now and I adored him. He made it OK for me to be str8 and queer as fk in 1970. 😍 But above all he was an amazing musician.

Ball blitz was a song written for the raspberries,. But it started with an introduction. Eric told me he known the perfect band. Chin received it from me. No one wanted to mention me, because of age, I was 10. If the bands would have put my name on the album, it my have killed rock and roll.

Heathen, a thrash metal band from the 80's, covered Set Me Free. It's a good version of the song. It has a really cool bass fill.

Jorgen Ingmann had the version of Apache Steve talks about and he was Danish, not Dutch it wasn't very good because he copied the pretty awful original English version by Bert Weedon which was put out before the Shadows, The Ventures in America copy the bad version too. The Shadows took the track, changed it around, and made it their own and many people think that theirs is the original.

This could have been a good interview, but i stopped after painful 8:13 min listening to an interviewer who sounds so self entitled, rather listening to his own rambling and constantly talking over Steve - If i were him, i would have thrown him out of my house - Impolite and unprofessional.
