​@@debraweaver6308Both Steve and Brian had something supernatural about them, starting with their eyes: Brian had blue-grey eyes that were incredibly dark, like a late night, shining if he was happy, becoming a black abyss ready to suck you in forever if he was sad or suffering.

One the dramatic side and the other the funny side of the coin...two unforgettable voices, they remained friends to the end. Now they are together again...

Brian getting attacked was one of the worst days in the history of music. Our world would have been better if that had not happened.

My favourite band as a teenager

Underrated group..period.

Brilliant!!!!!

An all time classic b side from one of the most underated bands of all time

The sweet played songs too every persons taste i loved all there music , i still listen to them every day and im 63 years ill keep on listening untill i take my last breath 😊❤

I'm sure if Brian hadn't been attacked sweet would have catapulted into superstardom they hardly got any airplay in the states in my opinion one of the greatest bands ever

I bought most of their 7" singles in the 70s and still have them stashed away. They were ahead of their time and the only thing I wish we could change about them is the poor quality of most of their videos. Imagine watching them in fabulouse 4K instead of SD or worse.

The 7" singles were called 45's on vinyl records. They were great.👍

In Australia we had an album called "Sweet Singles Album". It only contained 4 singles (Blockbuster, Hellraiser, Ballroom Blitz & Teenage Rampage), but what made it so good was the seven "B" sides they gathered up to make a full album. None of these brilliant songs had previously appeared on any album. They were the "B" sides of the Little Willy, Wig Wam Bam, Blockbuster, Hellraiser, Ballroom Blitz, Teenage Rampage & The Sixteens singles.

Man they really brought the excitement and action to their rock n roll ,very tight yet loose enough to have that fun style Very underrated ,like this is the first time I heard this particular song and right away I knew I liked it ,then you hear it a second time and it's even better and so on!! That to me is genius writing and performing ,when a song makes you anticipate it and then you wanna turn it in to your friends

"Desolation Boulevard" included additional tracks, like "Burn On The Flame" (B-page of The Six Teens) & "Own Up, Take A Look At Yourself" (B-page of Teenage Rampage). I belive, I saw the CD with overall 18 tracks/songs at Amazon or eBay. You must search a little. Maybe somebody else knows more about that? Good luck!

@Merca230e There are many people here that still think Sweet a joke band! All they remember them for is blockbuster etc and the outrageous costumes... mainly people from my age group. The media did a wonderful job with their image - bubblegum pop band! No wonder their biggest fan bases were in Europe, in particular Germany.

Oh yes, tou are right : I remember that some Germans told me on this site "The Sweet" were as popular as (perhaps more) than Abba or Queen in Germany in the 70'. Amazing! In view of the fact that, for instance, France was the country in Europe where they were the less popular except perhaps "Ballroom Blitz" and "probably" "Peppermint twist"..

Great song this. I would like to hear a cover over it re worked with a 20 second longer intro and the song made more atmospheric by slowing it down a bit and making the guitar licks less "commercial". It is actually a very underrated song this. After hearing it for the first time in about 35 years I am very impressed with this song.

ïncredible song.

The sweet de los mejores grupos creados en Inglaterra.

One of their best songs. Would have been popular if it was released as an a side and got air play.

Yes I was at the Whisky A Go Go gig on June 12 and Steve's new Sweet lineup is great! Don't miss them on tour this summer!

С детства слушаю и очень уважаю!!!❤❤❤ А мне под6о

Steve's book ('Are you ready Steve?') is ONLY available from thesweet(dot)com. I reckon Andy will only write his memoirs once he is the last of the four - then there's no one to contradict his version of events. My personal opinion? Andy blamed Brian for the band not rising to the top (where they rightly should have been) and took every opportunity to remind him of this fact. Brian hit the self destruct button!! Andy took over, and booted Brian out . . . Sweet never recovered!!!

OBVIOUSLY It won't be the same without Bryan, Mick & Steve, but I will take a night of LIVE Sweet music, anyway I can get it

Eine der besten The Sweet "B-Seiten", da geht echt "die Post ab". Damit begann immer mehr die Unabhängigkeit vom Chinn/Chapmann, die immer sehr auf Mainstream aus waren. Kommerziell sicher kein Nachteil für Sweet, aber musikalisch war das lange nicht der Anspruch, den die Musiker hatten! Mick Tucker allein an den Drums ist schon auch heutzutage immer noch "das Maß aller Dinge".

This song shows (like many other b side songs of theirs), that they didn't really need Chapman and Chinn.....after Blockbuster, and Blitz. I think they could have went into 1974 with their own stuff. I know Foxy is their own, and came in '75. I just wonder how long Andy had that being in his pocket? Pretty much every successful band has a lot of songs they hang onto "for the next album", it's just a matter of when to release it. The Sweet knew they had what it took to make it as a group at Poppa Joe for fuck's sake. C&C were also writing songs for other groups so they could show up on T.O.T.P. and, of course, make them more money! Sweet should have said Fuck that shit, and went their own way! Who knows what could have happened?

Given Brian's beautiful looks - jealousy probably took over. He had his throat stamped on! (thugs heard to say you'll never sing again) his voice range was never the same again - and because of it, the band couldn't support The Who in London -cont
