A third reunion scenario

feeds@yuku.com (SGBrass) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 16:50:04 GMT

We know a little bit about the mysterious reunion attempt from the late 80s.
We recently heard about an even weirder reunion plan from the mid-nineties without Andy.

And here is a third scenario, which can be found in "Classic Rock" No 49 from January 2003. It's from an 11-page story about the Sweet that has lots of very interesting information about every period of their career.

I recently came across an article on Sweet in the Kerrang Magazine March 10-23, No.37, 1984 which I would like to share with you. It provides reviews on all their LPs starting from Sweet FA until Identity Crisis. It closes with the following quote

Songs that were not number 1!!

feeds@yuku.com (briansrockchick) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 19:38:30 GMT
Ok!!! I have always wondered with a few of the songs by The Sweet.. Why werent these songs a number 1?? A few songs as an example.. here they are:

Fever Of Love
Lost Angels
She Gimme Lovin
Set Me Free
Live For Today
Your not wrong for loving me
Lady Starlight
L'ettres D'Amour
Lies in your eyes
Action!

Al these songs listed here to me were worthy of being a number 1 or atleast in the top 5!!!...

In this months Mojo magazine, in the 'all back to my place' section on page 9, there is a small Q&A with American singer Andrew W.K. He was asked what his all time favourite album was, and he replied...
"It would be painful for me to sum it up, but for today, i'd say Give Us A Wink by The Sweet, where they became more aggressive and more aggro, my favourite band in the world".
Someone buy that man a beer!!

Platinum Rare

After watching 'Don't Leave Me This Way' I needed something to cheer me up again, so I put the CD 'Platinum Rare' on. Two things strikes when listening to the tracks on this great CD :

1 . People that says Brian allready had lost his voice in 1978 should listen to 'You're Not Wrong For Loving me' on this CD, wich is recorded from the rehearsing for the 'Level Headed Tour'. He sounds better than ever on this recording. Pure magic !!!

Punk, drunk and funk- Sweet in '77

feeds@yuku.com (hongkongmick) — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 13:49:12 GMT
One thing that consistently came through in interviews with Sweet in 1978 when they were promoting their 'new' mature-sounding Level Headed album, which included the worst song they ever recorded, a funk-brass track no less (Strong Love), was that if they hadn't had a long break from each other during 1977 they'd have split up. Their punk-metal tinged album Off The Record wasn't half bad and...

Have been watching the fantastic DVD footage from Devizes, a couple of questions, Who is the person that comes up and sings Blockbuster and Fox? great voice. Was there ever an unplugged solo CD made after Devizes?
Would loved to have been there that evening.

I am looking at buying some photos of Sweet and did a online search and came acroos this website http://www.angel.dk
They have some great B&W photos. I am looking at Marc Bolan, Sweet, Thin Lizzy and UFO. Only downside is the price is US Dollars.

I was looking for Ballroom blitz as a ringtone on itunes and failed, but blundered across Steve's Sweet. His live album is there and several videos of the band too. The quality is very good.

I've never gotten to see KISS live before. I usually work the graveyard shift {third/night} and the concerts usually fall on my work days. This year however, I find myself with a little more time.

I was looking on the net for some up comming concerts in the area, and found KISS. I chose the "will call" option for the first time when ordering tickets. So my wife, I get there about two hours early to get a park. After parking the car we walked to the main entrance, and...

Great Balls of Fire

feeds@yuku.com (honeytummy) — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 19:27:53 GMT
Can anyone tell me if the Sweet Album "Great Balls of Fire" would still be out there somewhere. I believe it was recorded in around 1971 in Holland. Thought i would ask here first before i started searching, in case my search would be a waste of time.

Thanks
