    You got it right. The track was inspired by an incident on January 27, 1973, when The Sweet was performing a the Grand Hall in Kilmarnock, Scotland. The band was driven offstage by what’s known as a “bottling,” or when the fans get so angry or unnerved by a group, they begin to throw things onto the stage. It can occur if a band is not of the same genre as the rest of the groups, say, on a given festival lineup. They were unharmed, just shook up. And the world got a great song out of the chaos. The Sweet is the best band of all time, also the most underrated band. Sweet fan forever.

    Loved your reaction! Haven't seen anyone playing air guitar and head hanging since 1980's! As I recall a couple of girls pulled Brien and Steve into the audience by their ankles and had scissors in their purses and were trying to cut off pieces of the hair. With their collaborators, they wrote the song in 3 days afterwards.

    This song is actually about crowd trouble that occured during a Sweet concert in Scotland, where the crowd wanted to storm the scene and stated fighting amongst themselves - I believe the Sweet guys had to run off stage in a hurry.
    One of the band's usual song writers (Chapman?) was at the concert and was inspired by the events and went home and wrote this song.

    Action

    Tom Tom Turnaround
    ………..etc
    Of the songs, well they’re not hymns of worship.
    Unfortunately, for the US, they didn’t get as much fan base as could’ve been.
    And sadly, disaster struck Brian Connolly the singer when he was attacked and then again when he abused alcohol, bringing about his fatality. Later, drummer Mick Tucker became ill and passed away, and more recently bassist Steve Priest, who had a US SWEET. Andy Scott has the last remaining version of SWEET in Europe, and though it’s not the lineup, it’s good.
