Mick Tucker is a criminally underrated drummer.

It's true. Charges have actually been filed.

Every hair metal band owes their entire existence to these guys, and T Rex.

[@aricp9173]

And Bowie. Everybody did everything they could to keep up with him but he was miles ahead of everybody. The drumstick twirl is just showmanship. Tommy Lee has done it and he obviously got it from Sweet.

[@glamdolly30]

@@usesumlogicmanlogicman4334 I doubt many who've come here are spring chickens! My earlier post was a joke but the point holds true - the music we knew as teenagers is the music we love best. I grew up in the 'eighties so that music has a special place in my heart. You obviously didn't! I love other eras too btw, but I'd have to massively disagree with you that the 90s produced better music than the brilliantly creative 80s. The 90s was generally a lousy decade for pop. Oasis, Blur, Steps, Spice Girls, S Club 7, Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears - Christ-on-a-Bike it was dire!

[@usesumlogicmanlogicman4334]

@@glamdolly30 Yeah, not exactly a pop fan. Judged on that basis. I agree, the 80s was poppy as heck. Van Halen, Metallica and Stevie Ray Vaughn were to my liking in the 80s. Anyhow, you proved your point and mine too!

This band was very popular in the 70's. Don't forget their big hit "Little Willy".

[@sarahadelle1953]

i love that song :)

[@827dusty]

Lame Bubble gum music.

[@buzbom1]

When I first heard Little Willy(small town radio NH 1972) I must have been around 12 and thought at the time it was a new Archies song...LOL That's just wrong. I found out the truth quickly soon after that. "73" Desolation Boulevard came into my life, and I took to the drums and singing more seriously. Sooo many great songs on that album. And so many others during that era that never really got heard. They were so tight and ahead of their time. Andy Scott's wammy bar,neck bending guitar licks, years before a guy named Eddie, never really got the recognition he should have...imho. Rock on all, be safe and healthy out there. Rip Brian, and Mick.

[@RalphPacheco2]

Little Willy is William Campbell /Billy Shears, great band

[@toddbell6989]

YES!!! Little Willy - great song

I always loved Mick Tucker's drumming- simple,powerful, fundamental and musical🤙🏽

[@juanjaramillo6792]

Thanks for this one! Steve Priest (the bassist) is one of the best 70s backing vocalist. Everyone could sing in that band. RIP Brian Conolly (the lead singer).

Also R.I.P Mick Tucker, a very underrated drummer.

Great music never gets old. That's why they call it "Classic".

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

[@noneyabusiness1302]

Awesome!! Sweet is so important to glam!! When I saw them at Rock In America one of them (I think keyboard player) was wearing a cape. I'm so blessed to get to see these pioneers!!!!

"Three minutes and twenty seconds of life changing music!" Awesome.

[@lorenabautista2242]

Nick Gilder's 1978, "Hot Child in the City" is another gem!

[@tonycanabal1659]

Great song too , Coulda been done by them too. Nick kinda looks like Sweet's lead singer.

[@kynamatthewson7702]

Anybody who wasn't around for this back in the day missed out.

[@atlasking6110]

On top of everything else that's fantastic about this song, the PRODUCTION is OUTSTANDING. This track EXPLODES out of the speakers the same in 2022 as it did in 1976. This song even sounded fantastic playing on AM Radio out of 1970s car speakers and that's one of the many reasons this song was a huge hit!

[@onefatstratcat]

Sweeeeeeet!! :) That song just bleeds early 70's rock

[@johnclarke-vs9qe]

Dazed And Confused for me

[@ehsnils]

I heard Ballroom Blitz in the 70's and it got stuck already then.

[@RabbiSteve]

And somehow, I misremembered it being in the movie. But apparently not. It's amazing to me, that it's such an iconic use of a song that I stuck it in the movie in my mind!

[@aileenhoop5810]

I bought the GotG soundtrack because this was on it!! 😆

[@richardbutton1179]

But you dont hear the song in the movie too bad

[@terryray8370]

Their vocals blended together so well! Part of it is dubbed, if you watch where Andy does the keyboards; his fingers leave the keyboard but the music stays on. Brian's hair was set and styled before the shows by his wife.

[@billmorris8358]

From another planet? I tell you in 1974 when this was released, most older people actually thought they were back then! This was Glam Rock! And l stress the word rock! For a pop band singing a pop song it was heavy! Thats why we fell in love with it. We all wanted our hair to look like that. Mine never did alas. My biggest frustration!

[@butchstevenson7029]

Also check out their song“Little Willy” too!

[@chefkdowg]

The older generation back then thought all the rock 'n' rollers were from another planet, as well. Late 60's to early 80's was the sweet spot in music, bro. Everybody was doped up in one form or another, playing with all the new gadgetry available, getting incredibly involved in the studio. It was a great time for music. Even for pap like this, it was just great.

Really really underrated, I loved hem so much back then!

[@claimguy]

One more Sweet request Big Guy; "NO YOU DON'T" This one really shows off Mick Tucker's drumming, including a mid-song drumming breakdown that is quite unique. The riff is a great crunching melodic riff, too. Some of the Sweet's success comes from how superbly they were produced, and a lot of people will discount them as a serious rock band because of that, and their glam rock connection. I suggest watching them live on a German television program Musikladen, from 1974 performing "No You Don't" kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJXRmpelqJp7iLc

[@Marcus-Oh-really-yes]

Awesome song! In the U.S., the British band Sweet only had two more hit songs (compared with more that they had in England, Europe, Canada, Australia and New Zealand). Those two are ""Little Willy" (No. 3) and "Action" (No. 20). Sweet dropped the "The" (The Sweet) by 1974, I have read online.

Which one had Dave Hill in the metal nun outfit?

[@richardthresh3587]

@@paulqueripel3493 NOW you're asking ... I think some research is required!

[@richardthresh3587]

Okay... that was Cum on Feel the Noize. The metal nun outfit was supposed to be an Egyptian! Dave said in an interview a few years ago: "I’m very fond of it. I’ve got a particular story about CUM ON FEEL THE NOIZE… It was going to come out the week after this particular edition of TOP OF THE POPS that they wanted us to go on. People would watch TOTP to see what I’d wear next, so I’d got this idea for a costume for when we did CUM ON FEEL THE NOIZE. Usually at TOTP I’d go in the toilet bit of the dressing room to put on what I was going to wear and then I’d come out and everyone would start falling about laughing, right? On this occasion I’d got this outfit which I thought looked Egyptian. It had a head-dress that looked Egyptian and then a long cape with all mirrors on it, all over. Everything was happening, you know what I mean? It had mirrors like Noddy’s hat, but really big ones. So I got changed in the loo and I come out, and our manager Chas Chandler’s there and Nod and everyone. Nod always knew where I was coming from with the clothes and Chas was always very positive about me and whatever I wore. Anyway, they fell about laughing like they always did and Chas, who was a Geordie, he says “Flippin’ ‘ell Davy. That’s great. This is gonna be another number one hit”, right? So I goes on TOTP in my Egyptian gear - and we heard later through a third party that someone quite famous said “Dave Hill, I’ve met him… He’s the metal nun”… He’d thought I looked like a metal nun! I could see what they meant! Anyway, the point is, when I’d come out the loo after getting changed at TOTP and they’d be falling about laughing, I’d say the same thing to the other chaps in the band: “You write ’em, and I’ll sell ’em ... "
