The Life & Death of Sweet's MICK TUCKER

[@glamgal7106]

Thanks for a lovely tribute to the legendary Mick Tucker. I think it's safe to say that his drum opening in "Ballroom Blitz" has reached iconic status. He was definitely an amazing drummer who I believe has influenced others. It's heartbreaking that his daughter Ayston lost her parents both too young. Mick is deeply missed, yet fondly remembered. 🥁🎶

Thank you so very much! 🤗 And yes terribly sad indeed 💔 Thank you for watching 🥰

[@matthewchild]

Mick was absolutely underrated. He was incredible.

[@Txmedic76]

Mick was the best drummer. There will never be another drummer like him. One of a kind! 😢

[@derekkiltie]

What a Drummer. One of the best. R.I.P Mick Tucker. G.B.N.F

[@philliamproject8113]

Mick was a brilliant drummer there is no debating this! RIP Mick!

Никогда не забуду с детства любимую группу Sweet и конечно же Мика Такера- непревзойденного барабанщика с золотыми руками!Покойся с миром,дорогой,талантливый Мик!

Mick Tucker was the greatest rock drummer that the UK and the world never truly recognised.., he was, and is .., A Legend! Ballroom Blitz..., an incredible piece of drumming., and then some.., Into The Night., Sweet F.A., Solid Gold Brass..., Just a Superb piece of drumming, every track!.., and then some.., Midnight To Daylight.., and in my humble opinion..., one of the greatest recorded rock jams ever.., the brilliant 'Keep It In' from the 'Give Us A Wink' album from 1976.., absolutely incredible drumming!! I was fortunate enough to accidently bump into Mick in Debenhams in Harrow in 1982.., I had nothing for him to sign for me as it was purely an accidental meet.., but he shook my hand as I told him that I was a life-long Sweet fan, and that he was the main reason as to why I became a drummer., x R.I.P Mick..., you, (& Cozy) were and always will be the one and only reason as to why I too became a drummer at an early age.., still am, and I'm way passed 60 now!! .., ;) xx

[@laurencelevene4333]

I agree totally with all you said. IMHO one of the greatest rock drummer's who ever lived

[@ВикторПелагеин-и4в]

Мне 61 год и я тоже барабанщик. Mick Tucker и группа Sweet - это мои кумиры. Основа музыкального исполнения группы держалась всегда на ударных, во главе которых был великолепный Mick!!!

[@haydoncooper3744]

Mick Tucker was and will always be a great drummer. He was fresh had great technical skills and had a natural talent. As a drummer he was and will always be a true inspiration to me. An absolute Legend, Taken way too early. Rest In Peace Mick.

[@paul7769]

One of the first records I bought- 'Fox on the Run' - 45 rpm!

[@rosannag.8172]

Mick was the king of drums 🥁 and man with the golden arm 💪 Unforgotten and forever in the hearts of his fans 💕❤💕❤

[@tstuart7333]

This was the BEST drummer the UK and EUROPE ever had, maybe even the word. God Bless the man. Thank you for the memories.

[@benjiarehart2878]

The most underrated drummer of all time. He had it all. The looks, the skill, and a good voice. He got better with time. By the mid 80's, he was at his best as far as his talent goes as a drummer. Love Mick Tucksr, and consider him one of my most valuable influences as a drummer. R I P. Bro!

[@stevewilcock4767]

Mick was an ace drummer. He had a great technique and fantastic chops. Ballroom Blitz was a classic.

[@DAVIDDOWNEY23]

Terrific drummer who was/is very highly regarded by many of his peers.

[@richardmurphy4520]

I first heard Micks drumming when I was ten years old in 1973. The Sweet song " Blockbuster" had just shot to No1, no easy feat when a band had to sell a million 7inch single records in under a fortnight to reach even the top 3 in the charts. The only other drummer at the time that blew my mind was Kevin Godley of 10cc, this shows how great Mick Tucker sounded to me back in those days. Just listen to his opening snare work on " Ballroom Blitz " absolutely world class and completely original. R.I.P.

[@Gmmaika]

Nana, der, wer das Schlagzeug als bestimmendes Instrument in den Vordergrund gebracht hat, war Keith Moon....

[@ShaunStClair-nx3xy]

Mick was an awesome drummer. Underrated and in a league of his own!

[@robhanhart2730]

I'm a Sweet fan for more than 50 years and Mick was a very underrated fantastic drummer and showman. Saw him twice perform and meet him in 1990. Got two drumsticks with his name on it. (thnx to Janet Tucker)

[@dumpling49]

A wonderful lovely man and incredible musical talent!! For me the best drummer of the 70s!! 💝 RIP sweetie will never ever forget you!! 💝😘

[@volkiruski1221]

One of the best drummers from that time, for me he was an inspiration, I tried to learn from him....all these times I played with theire record Ballroom Blitz...my parents went crazy....

[@alancrisp1582]

I always thought of mick as the quiet 🤫 one of the group. In any event 54 years old is still far too young to leave this world !............

[@silviazanicotti5054]

Above all, he was good-hearted, a kind and empathetic spirit. When Andy and he were asked about Brian's problems, while Andy replied: 'we should have just replaced him', Mick replied with a sweet smile: 'we should have tried to do more to help him'. A statement that reveals all the depth and richness of a soul... a real man before being a musician...

[@TuckerSP2011]

He was wonderful. A real powerful style and presence. He looked like a very nice person too.

[@robhanhart2730]

Yes he was, very loyal to the fans. Spoke with him in 1990...

[@raymondwilliams2609]

My absolute drumming hero. Thought I could follow your patterns, boy was I wrong. I tried my very best with "Give us a Wink".... failed miserably ! But my love and appreciation for everything Tucker, will always carry on. Good and safe journey, Michael. Always.... 😆🤗😊❤️💐

[@KathyWilber-hy1sq]

Once again, damn!!! I had no idea about all of these tragic stories behind the men of the band Sweet when they were just getting started pretty much as big time in the rock music business, and how sad their stories really are!!! I lost my mom to cancer in 1999, and just recently my one and only brother about a year ago, so every time I hear of someone else having this fucked up disease, I'm very sad for them and their families, especially when it comes to children being sick with it!!! But this story about Mick Tucker is no different!!! It makes me very sad for him and his family, and how awful it is that this is how he passed away!!! One more time I have to say R.I.P. Mick Tucker!!! Ernie Wilber 🤘😢🤘✌️

[@HarmonyHeartsLifestyle-ul5yv]

💔🙏

[@KathyWilber-hy1sq]

@HarmonyHeartsLifestyle-ul5yv Yes, I also forgot to mention Mick losing his wife in the very tragic way that he did, and I also want to mention my heartbreak for his and his loss, but also his daughter Austin, and my deepest sympathy and condolences to her as well!!! Like I've already said, the whole thing totally breaks my heart for all of them!!! Ernie Wilber 🤘😢🤘✌️

[@mr.pac.4614]

Me listening to Mick (Sweet) in the 70’s influenced me to play the drums. I thought he was amazing with his fills and quadlets. I still play to ‘Ballroom Blitz’ etc to this day. I was sad and shocked when I heard he passed, he was still fairly young. R.I.P. Mick. 🥁

Согласен, полностью!

[@DeidreL9]

It’s so good to see this today. I’ve had a rough couple of days with a virus, I come back to KZbin and see this straight away, it’s fantastic. The ins and outs of how a band comes together is fascinating. The thing that sticks with me is watching these guys in a documentary sounding like regular tradies, really down to earth. They understood theatre as well as music. This is brilliant!❤️

[@HarmonyHeartsLifestyle-ul5yv]

Thank you Deidre I hope you are on the mend and feel better very soon 🥰 Yes it's great learning about musicians and how they lived, it's so interesting and sometimes a little surprising! Take care of yourself and thanks for watching 🤗💕

[@stephenbennett1643]

One of the best drummers, the Uk ever produced period . Knowone twirled the sticks like Mick . Went far to young 😔

[@Lloyd1885]

If he'd had hooked up with one of the big rock bands like iron maiden or black Sabbath he'd have been rated much higher and got the recognition he rightly deserved, amazing drummer who I never tire of listening to

[@sometimes99er]

Another fan you can add is drummer Larry Mullen Jr. from U2. Larry's been in the band for almost 50 years and they've sold nearly 200 million albums.

Tommy is fan of Mick.

[@28076130513B]

Mick was my favorite band member from the 1st moment on. As a young (German) boy, I´d build a "drum(fake)kit" out of scrap and "play" to all the Sweet songs of this time - without any knowledge about drumming. It should just look good, and make me feel a little bit like my idol - and I gave all during my air drumming behind my "drum kit". Sadly I never had the privilege to see him live in concert. 🥁 R.I.P. Mick - I will be one of your biggest fans forever.

[@HarmonyHeartsLifestyle-ul5yv]

That's so lovely to hear! You are a great fan my friend 🥰👍

[@KenHeying]

He is one of my top three drummers. Moon and Bonzo are only better.

As an amateur drummer myself I can tell you that Mick is not underrated at all.

[@JESUS-SAVES_1975.]

I think I read somewhere that a poll was taken every year and Mick Tucker was voted the best drummer in the U.K. almost every year in the 1970's, beating out the likes of Ringo Starr, John Bonham and Keith Moon.

[@merlin5476]

Carl palmer also recieved quite few trophies in the 70's for his drumming. Mick Tucker was also up there with the best drummers & quite rightly so. Ive recently been looking at the box set of the Sweet at Musik Laden, ! Mick had some awesome grooves going on & was a beast of a drummer.
