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.
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.
@@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!
@@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!
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).
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!!!!
Fox on the run and the Sweet was the soundtrack to my youth :) and to watch you discover it was a true joy to me........I have always said that this film clip was the whole 70's in a 3 minute segment and I still stand by that :) WELL POSTED :)
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!
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!
The drummer is one of the best drummer around and his so smooth with the drum sticks Jamel you would like to be a teenager back in the seventies you really rock dude
Jamel, you can hear this song (and many others) in the movie Dazed and Confused, featuring Matthew McConaughey. It's a throwback to mid-70's culture an music! =)
kmf65 Indeed! That movie came out the year I graduated. But we were still listening to the music from Dazed and Confused as well as the stuff in FTARH. True story: I read the short story of FTARH in Playboy about a year before the movie came out. When the movie came out, I knew I had to go see it. The short story was awesome! And the movie...well...it's a classic for us of that generation.
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!
Y’all are giving him terrible songs to react too. That when they started going sour, that first album Fanny adams, and the song “into the night” now that’s the fucking jam son
Little Willy always takes me back to when my grandmother used to chase me around the house. I would be looking over my shoulder , yelling "I love you gram" She would end up laughing and give up
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.
Always, great reaction! Sweet was the first band that i saw live in the begining of the 70's. Today am 55 y/o, and I still like them. Try Teenage rampage. Take care. Peace. 🤘😎🤘
Absolutely LOVE your reactions and appreciation of music Jamel. Yes, "No school like old school." I remember when I thought 50s music was old school in the 70s... Thank you for entertaining us.
I was 10 years old when this song first came out. I remember thinking it was the greatest song ever. To this day I would put it in my top 10 songs of all time. Amazing vocals all the way around!
This band influenced so many bands, the likes of Def Leppaerd, Motley Crue, Metallica to name afew, I have had the priviege of seeing them many times and meeting the guitarist Andy Scott. They are still amazing live. It is wonderful to see you enjoying them. Dont stop listening to them, I really must see you react to "No You Dont", give it a try.
I think we have a new Sweet fan here! You get it, man. This was a fun band that was so underrated here in the US. They had a lot of great songs. Thanks for your reactions. You really have an appreciation for music
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.
The three songs of Sweet so far are their most well known tunes. But there is so much more than that. Action, Sweet FA, Set Me Free, Want to Be Committed, Madusa, The Six-Teens, Into The Night, White Mice, Hellraiser, Teenage Rampage Man With The Golden Arm(Mick Tucker drum solo). Explore this rabbit hole. You won't regret it.
Now you're bringing me back to a time forgotten. I was 7 years old when this came out. I remember it on the radio, but it faded as all songs do. I thought it was about a fox. Lol
I love this song so much! Try The Lies in Your Eyes or Hellraiser for more rock style or Lady Starlight if you want to listen to them harmonize. They were such an underrated band.
It's fun just watching you enjoy these videos. You appreciate them so much. It's refreshing and very cool. You thank your subscribers all the time. Thank you!
Jamel you bring so much joy to my day. Thanks for doing this request. I'm going to watch your reaction to Love is Like Oxygen next. I love you brother!!
Listen to Sweet - 'Set me Free' if you want to hear arguably the first speed metal song. About ten years ahead of its time. All the tropes of what Speed/Power metal would become.
Jamal should really do this one, especially their performance on Top of the Pops where Steve was dressed in a german uniform with swastika and Hitler-moustache. To them it was all just for fun but the people at the BBC didn't really appreciate it. :-)
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" ruclips.net/video/Ndnidos5HRU/видео.html
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.
The Europeans were Alway's a step ahead. Sweet, Slade. At the time America wasn't ready. We were sitting motionless smoking pot watching the Almond Bros, Zep. Not bad just different. I think KISS reaped the rewards .Rock and roll all night. Fun stupid not serious join in. it's almost like a masquerade. Tomorrow's a new day.
These Men had every reason to be messing around having fun with stuff because they ALL had the Musical/Vocal goods and could cut it. Great review Mate!
I was in Jr high when this came out. Sweet was a combination of hard rock and pop(top 40) AND we were listening to it on AM radio. Another big one back then was the Bay City Rollers out of Scotland. Music marks time for us all.
You like "unique " 70's outfits? Recommend Slade-Momma We're All Crazee Now and Cum on Feel the Noise. Quiet Riot did a remake of both in the early 80's.
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 ... "
Mick Tucker is a criminally underrated drummer.
It's true. Charges have actually been filed.
Like a metronome.👍🏼
I heard that John Bonham said the same thing!
🤣I just woke up when I read this & my glasses were dirty- I thought u said "Mick Tickle"! 😜
Luv this band!
I agree! 👍
Every hair metal band owes their entire existence to these guys, and T Rex.
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.
and the ny dolls.
Don't forget Slade
🤟😎👍
You got that right!!
The Drummer was never given the credit he deserved, one of the best bands ever.
Mick was amazing!
Theres that so called 80s SYNZ in a 70s song lol the 80s what ever lol
This band was very popular in the 70's. Don't forget their big hit "Little Willy".
i love that song :)
Lame Bubble gum music.
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.
Little Willy is William Campbell /Billy Shears, great band
YES!!! Little Willy - great song
“There’s no school like old school!” AMEN, Jamal!
Put that on a t-shirt, Stat!!!
The best of the best. His sticks were almost part of his hand.
The 70s KICKED ASS HARDER THAN A PISSED OF DONKEY ON STEROIDS
No school like old school
....baby
BLUE SKY yep - this is all my elementary school childhood....
Sweet was so underrated. They deserve to be in the Music Hall of Fame.
There's Sweet (Love is Like Oxygen) and then THE Sweet (Little Willy).
@ted ritola Showing your age love!

Steve Priest - Vocals, Bass Guitar
Andy Scott - Vocals, Guitar
Mick Tucker - Vocals, Drums, Genius
Thank you so much for this.
I grew up listening to them.
Steve is my fave
Early 70s British glam rock is some of the most underrated pop music ever ... it was a great time to grow up :)
Richard. T Rex, David Bowie among others 👍
Richard Thresh The word underrated is so overrated
Gary Glitter, too.
Absolutely stunning. Great band, much much more than "a glam rock band".
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.
Their vocals were sooo good.
Just started getting in depth with this band just a few days ago. I’m fascinated and infatuated with Steve Priest
Yes darlin’ welcome to glam rock at its best!
Absolutely 100% 😊
I always loved Mick Tucker's drumming-
simple,powerful, fundamental and musical🤙🏽
Never got the credit he deserved , always played a double kit.
One of the worlds best drummers, RIP Mick. ❤
Criminally underrated. I'm not their biggest fan, but I've loved every song I've heard.
There's no School
like Old School.

Jack, you've got one heck of an idea. I'd buy one (or more) if they come in 3XL. Yeah, I've gained some weight during this isolation period.
"Three minutes and twenty seconds of life changing music!"
Awesome.
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!!!!
Nick Gilder's 1978, "Hot Child in the City" is another gem!
Great song too , Coulda been done by them too. Nick kinda looks like Sweet's lead singer.
Fox on the run and the Sweet was the soundtrack to my youth :) and to watch you discover it was a true joy to me........I have always said that this film clip was the whole 70's in a 3 minute segment and I still stand by that :)

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!
Great music never gets old. That's why they call it "Classic".
This song was used in the first teaser trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2 - that is where a lot of people heard it. :)
Dazed And Confused for me
I heard Ballroom Blitz in the 70's and it got stuck already then.
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!
I bought the GotG soundtrack because this was on it!! 😆
But you dont hear the song in the movie too bad
Sweeeeeeet!! :) That song just bleeds early 70's rock
The drummer is one of the best drummer around and his so smooth with the drum sticks Jamel you would like to be a teenager back in the seventies you really rock dude
One of the best bands ever. Brians vocolas are perfect

@@charliemac64 Probably the same way Fast Times at Ridgemont High itself, takes me back to my early 80's SoCal HS days!

Vital, iconic, classic, vintage, quintessential 70's classic Rock.
Anybody who wasn't around for this back in the day missed out.
Wow!! This brings me back to summers on the beach on the Russian River. Been decades since I've heard this song, but I am a teenager again. Timeless!!

Y’all are giving him terrible songs to react too. That when they started going sour, that first album Fanny adams, and the song “into the night” now that’s the fucking jam son
You CAN NOT fake the appreciation you have for all music! I love watching your reactions!!
Also check out their song“Little Willy” too!
They did little willy?
That's one of my least favorite songs by Sweet. I'd rather Jamel react to Blockbuster, Teenage Rampage, or Action. Cheers mate.
A world of a difference.
Little Willy always takes me back to when my grandmother used to chase me around the house. I would be looking over my shoulder , yelling "I love you gram" She would end up laughing and give up
Zee Risek I like all those other choices too! Lol
Thank you for reacting to this, It made my day. This band has a deep pot of great hits.
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.
Possibly the greatest rock single of the 1970's, bar none.
1970s=Best most creative diverse innovative poetic anything goes fun musical decade:-)
EASY
I know what your saying , Im all most 62
Always, great reaction! Sweet was the first band that i saw live in the begining of the 70's. Today am 55 y/o, and I still like them. Try Teenage rampage. Take care. Peace. 🤘😎🤘
Sweet was Queen before Queen was Queen. 😏
The hairstyle Brian Connolly was sporting was known as a "Feather" back in the 70's
Hands down Jamal aka Jamel is easily the best reaction host on RUclips.
Gotta listen to "Action."
That's a banger for sure.
I can’t express enough my joy over this reaction. This song is FANTASTIC, and your reaction was PRICELESS! LOVE IT!❤️❤️❤️
It feels so fresh and timeless. It always sounds great!
This song would be a hit if it was brand new this year!! It was a dance floor song and STILL is played at parties I’m sure of it!
Absolutely LOVE your reactions and appreciation of music Jamel. Yes, "No school like old school." I remember when I thought 50s music was old school in the 70s... Thank you for entertaining us.
I still have this record....it is my favorite Sweet song. I remember watching an ad on TV about Sweet coming in concert...yeah I'm old. 😄
Easily my favorite reaction of yours, ever. This was just what I needed to pick me up today. Cheers man.
The Dazed and confused soundtrack was my only cd for, like, a year and a half. Best soundtrack ever.
Check out The Big Chill soundtrack
Yes!
Old school is the best. The rhythm, harmony, drums, vocals, all fit together..................js
Really really underrated, I loved hem so much back then!
I was 10 years old when this song first came out. I remember thinking it was the greatest song ever. To this day I would put it in my top 10 songs of all time. Amazing vocals all the way around!
WOW!!! I haven't heard this one since it was a hit on the radio!. Thank you Brother J for revisiting a rare treat. ☮&❤
This band influenced so many bands, the likes of Def Leppaerd, Motley Crue, Metallica to name afew, I have had the priviege of seeing them many times and meeting the guitarist Andy Scott. They are still amazing live. It is wonderful to see you enjoying them. Dont stop listening to them, I really must see you react to "No You Dont", give it a try.

THIS!!!!!
I saw Head East opening for BOC in the early 90s, great show all the way around.
Yes!!! Please do Head East never been any reason! Great choice!
I think we have a new Sweet fan here! You get it, man. This was a fun band that was so underrated here in the US. They had a lot of great songs. Thanks for your reactions. You really have an appreciation for music
Wig Wam Bam by Sweet is another great and entertaining tune. Such a timeless band
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.
The three songs of Sweet so far are their most well known tunes. But there is so much more than that.

My favorite of theirs is “Love is Like Oxygen”, had it in all my playlists.
@Lon Spector Nope. It was Sweet.
@Lon Spector no, 10cc did songs like "I'm Not In Love" and "The Things You Do For Love"
Now you're bringing me back to a time forgotten. I was 7 years old when this came out. I remember it on the radio, but it faded as all songs do. I thought it was about a fox. Lol

Jamel you bring so much joy to my day. Thanks for doing this request. I'm going to watch your reaction to Love is Like Oxygen next. I love you brother!!
Mick Tucker - the man with the golden arm. I enjoy your reaction videos. Try Sweet - The Lies in Your Eyes.
Listen to Sweet - 'Set me Free' if you want to hear arguably the first speed metal song. About ten years ahead of its time. All the tropes of what Speed/Power metal would become.
SWEET FA AS Well
Desolation Boulevard...STILL one of the greatest rock albums ever!
You must do "Blockbuster" it's an absolute belter!
Dave O'Farrell my ultimate guilty pleasure when binging you tube videos it’s a crime against humanity of you don’t react to BlockBuster Jamal
Dave O'Farrell y fave. Especially the performance on Top Pop. So great!
Jamal should really do this one, especially their performance on Top of the Pops where Steve was dressed in a german uniform with swastika and Hitler-moustache. To them it was all just for fun but the people at the BBC didn't really appreciate it. :-)
Jamel i wish you could have lived in the 70s You missed out brother ,I did They were the best 10 years Ever
I absolutely love this song!!!
I am smiling the whole time watching this. Lmao!!! This is awesome!!!!I love how much you love this!!!!!!!
A criminally underrated band
Yup this one right here... Killer harmonies! You can't help but tap your foot to this one.
when music was music...and sweet kicked ass !!
Love your Vids! Keep it going! This is from a 62 yo guy that loved so so many types of music back in the day!
Oh man I totally forgot about this song! Loving everything you post!
Timeless. Good music transcends it's era, you can listen to it and go ok I see what's going on here just like it was made a day ago.
Try “Action & Teenage Rampage & Blockbuster “ from Sweet. This band was so underrated!
Just wanted to say. Thank you that was so much fun.😂😃👍🌼✌️
I had this on 8 track. These guys are from England I think and it was the 70's.
I think they're from Sweden
I think they're from the planet Earth;-D
lynn dederich England
thanks
Yes Hayes England 1970s. Best band to come out of the 70s. Love sweet and Steve priest

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 ... "
The 'metal nun' costume performance can be found on RETROVISOR's RUclips account listed as "Slade Cum On Feel The Noize 1973"
