I still enjoy this kind of music .. I'm 66 years young .... and I believe the music of our time was the best ... it will live for ever.
Мне тоже 66....это музыка нашего времени😅

Hello , yes I do still very much like the Sweets music still now, How about you are you still a fan@@gregnormal55.

Who is still enjoying this amazing record in 2024 ?
Such fantastic music and memories
Always enjoyed this great song and all their others!
Never stopped dude 🤘🤘🤘🤘
And I suspect in 2024, 2025 and on

Today my 19 year old nephew was helping me do yard work and he was listening to this song on his phone.
I told him that it was one of my favorite songs.
I’m 60 years old. I think that says something about how GREAT this song is.
Rock On Everyone!!!

Ballroom Blitz rocks even harder in 2024! A legendary song and performance.
В восторге от Sweet вот уже 50 лет! 👍
In 2024 “Sweet” make you crazy and kick chairs over! Rock will never die! Ever rock on! Listen up kids.😎🤙
If you're blessed to have ever seen "The Sweet" live, that's a sign you're old and from better times.

This has to be THE most underrated groups of the Glam rock era. How ?? They were brilliant.
Mick Tucker was a heck of a drummer.

Life as they know it will change forever!!!!!!!
👊😎
For sure

Mick was the best drummer rock has ever known. There will never be another like him.❤
Барабанщик Led Zeppelin считается лучшим во все времена.
Always the best drummer I have ever seen,💯👍
@natakataeva261 Clem Burke of Blondie is the best drummer in my eyes!
Keith Moon too
One of the greatest rock n roll songs ever.
I have seen them in Stockholm in the 7O's!!!!!
возврат в юность
It's mine to
BerlinFan82 show me your face ......
This is one of the Best *Crunch Guitar* songs of all time! _Proto-punk rock_ and very raw!
I never felt like this band got the credit they deserve. I loved their music, still do. The range that they could achieve vocally was outstanding! One band I wish I could have seen live with all the original members.
And they pulled it off live too......
I saw them i '84 at a venue in Watford,Mud being one of the other '70's bands to play,sadly Brian was a bit worse for ware,and the opening had to be restarted,(but i think that was a band fault),anyway they pulled it off and played like true pros..........i was only 21.....LOL..SWEET,great band
Owe some live and loud 🤪
Beautiful, talented boys from the English Midlands. Forever in my heart.
Same here
I guess we all are still enjoying Sweet in 2023. Glam Rock of its finest!
*One of the greatest songs of Rock n Roll history!*
Absolutely !!!
It sure is!
Yes, that's true 👍
...and the best intro ever... ❤
Yes
Yes yes yes yes yes yes Great Mate 💖💯👍👍👏🌹
Ah, I recall the year. I was in 6th grade, 1975/76. My teacher, Mrs. Letts, was the coolest. It's when I discovered I loved Ballroom Blitz! On rainy days, she'd grab a stack of 45 records, throw em on an old turntable, & we'd jam. We often pushed back the desks & danced. It's the only year I liked school at all. Mrs. Letts & The Sweet were the bomb. Both got me thru an awkward, tough year.
For all you young-uns out there, a 45 record is a small black disc with grooves in it. It's spun in circles on a turntable. An arm with a needle on it is placed on the spinning disc, which plays the music embedded in the grooves! It was cool! It was GROOVY, baby! 🤣😁👍
😂
Ussr Russia Moskow sity kazan tatarstan 64 years Mr Veselov Andrew Russia super star songs ok yes please Andrew Veselov Russia 1960 kazan sity Ussr
Sounds like you had one cool 😎 teacher!
Awesome 👌
One of the best Rock bands in 70's iNDEED!
As an ex drummer, this drumming by Mike Tucker was definitely electrefying. May Brian, Mike and Steve RIP. Love you guys. 💙
No one will ever see anybody else like these lads, EVER.
Mick Tucker
@@andymatthews7617 You mean a band whose biggest hits were written by a songwriting duo? Good. Hate to burst your bubble, but we've seen loads of better groups.
@@barrymitchell6444 everybody's got their favourites, ITS CALLED CHOICE.
@@andymatthews7617 Everyone's got an opinion too, thicko, and I gave mine 🤡
Loved this band way back in the 70s. Still love them in 2023! 😊❤

I love this after forty years bloody brilliant
This song was truly my awakening at 8 years old,55 now and still havent put the sticks down.Still play it regularly and it feels just as good every time.RIP Mick,one of the coolest ever👍
I had forgotten this amazing song.
That's such a great story. How "sweet" for you. This band rocked
Love this song im 52 now but love it
these guys were so advanced musicians in the 70s, that you can play now this song after 40 years and it is still actual
STEVE RED who can playit ???? Noone to complicated
This is one of the Best *Crunch Guitar* songs of all time! _Proto-punk rock_ and very raw! I heard the song on AM radio when I was growing up, but I just listened to it again several times with my head phones on. The guitars are amazing, and especially for its time. Wow.
@@nillonil8276 its actually an easy song
They were great musicians no doubt. They had the ability and foresight to rock like few bands of their time could.
P
The Sweet 2023.... still Rockin

Back in early to mid 70, s. We as young boys had the pool/snooker table in New Zealand. This song got the party started. Still rocks today in 2023, sad today's music can't do the same.
me a young boy in Paraparaumu at that time . great music
Never got the kudos they deserved. Brilliant Band.
It's gonna get now thank to Suicide Squad!!!
No thank you.
Michael Tarulli, hi! Where are you from? I´m from Finland and I love Sweet very much. I love many other bands and artists too, but Sweet is so special to me. I have heard many Sweet songs, but this The Ballroom Blitz....it´s so speedy and full of rhythm, that I can´t stay in my chair :) !!! Wonderful Sweet and wonderful song.
Hi Päivi, glad you agree with me. I am from Melbourne, Australia :)
Michael Tarulli Hi Michael! Thanks to answering me :) !! What´s the weather like in Melbourne?Here in Finland is a windy weather and a little snow, not very cold.
I think it's safe to say that Mick Tucker's drumming opening of "Ballroom Blitz" has reached iconic status.
Simple sticking but so hard to get right as Mick did,so much swing going on.Sadly missed😥
Not sure if you guys gives a shit but if you guys are bored like me atm you can stream all the new series on InstaFlixxer. I've been streaming with my brother recently =)
@Emmanuel Maxim Yea, I have been using InstaFlixxer for months myself =)
the BEST drummer EVER ❤❤
His drumming is great in every song they did. That's just my opion ,I think he's the best drummer of rock.
The Kings of Britpop...i Love them still from the beginning...RIP..Brian...you are cool man
it´s an intresting music from when I was young. It make me remember much how free we youngsters we were at that time. I still miss it.
Glam rock at its finest! DAMN I MISS THE 70's!! best time to have been a teenager!
LesSmith45 worst time to be a war veteran though
Ur so right, thanks to elder ephews I grew up with Wigwam Bam, Hellraiser, Coco etc. unsurpassed!!! Got it on CD now (Starke Zweiten), 'cause the disks are worn out by now!
Let there be drums! I had a poster of The Sweet in full drag on my bedroom wall in 1974 and my grandmother said that it gave her nightmares. Perfect.
Little did you know your grandmother was on bass.
I'm 29 years old and I'm enjoying music from the 70s! Why? Why the fucc not! Had this on ➿ for over an hour now!
I love watching Mick Tucker play the drums. He was so talented. RIP
Мне 60,а я балдею от этой группы,от этой песни,от Брайана Коннолли,земля ему пухом...
И Царрство ему небесное !
Brian,Mick & Steve Rest / Rock In Peace

Была у меня пластинка, по-моему , в 1981 году. Ох , соседям не нравилась. На всю громкость как включишь. Привезли из-за границы. В СССР такого не было. Молодость, школа.
Я в 1973 году винил приобрёл в Риге за 80 р.мне было 14 лет
ABSOLUTELY A TREMENDOUS TREASURE BALLROOM BLITZ NEVER NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.🥁🎤🎸⭐🏴😇.

What do you mean by "band mates"; there is only one left you idiot?
@@redblade8160 Steve had his own version of the Sweet later on. They probably meant those band mates.
@@shippy1991
They all had their own version of the Sweet, except Mick Tucker (drummer).
@@redblade8160 A typing error while having the intention to view a video by Steve Priest's Sweet brought me here.
@@MrHoefnix
Well it will not take much to lure you into a trap then!
Mick just kills it here and makes even the hardest things look so easy. That's how great he was. The world lost a great one on February 14th, 2002. RIP Mick (and Brian & Steve). The Sweet will live on forever in our hearts and minds). We fans will keep the fire burning!
❤❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢👍👍👍🎼🎤🎸🎸♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
@@zeppelinbk I love Led Zep also. RIP Brian Jones as well as Charlie now. 💔
Didn’t know they died
This was recorded in 72/73 but wasn't released in North America until 1975, so it is almost 50 yrs old, but still listenable. In 1975, we sure as hell weren't listening to music recorded in 1925. I actually still remember the 1st time I heard this song, in Oct 75, being introduced by Dick Clark on his American Bandstand show.
The Ballroom Blitz was among my favorite songs, when I started to listen to pop and rock music in the mid of 1970s.
Hello!!! How are you doing today! Please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you're a fan!.. Stay Safe!
The hard rocking guitar sound makes this song pure glam rock.
"Desolation Boulevard" was my girlfriends and I favorite album during our teenage years. It was played constantly during our summer vacations at our cottages in Quebec. Thanks to CZcams, 40 years later I am discovering that instead of being an American Los Angeles band, Sweet was a British Glam Rock band! Wow, Brian is so gorgeous and Steve is so flamboyant. Thanks Andy for keeping your legendary band alive. A reborn fan from Canada!
It takes a man to carry on a band like that, thank you Andy! Sweet deserves a spot in the rock and roll hall of fame. \m/
@@gabbygossett7812 Desolation Boulevard was a bit Epic! :)
@@gabbygossett7812 Brian was perfect for the time and this band, led from the front, but with musicians like those behind him, it must have been stress free l0l
@Isabelle Gagne
These fantastic guys were my idols when I was young.
I'm also discovering after more than 40 years these wonderful band.
I still love them.
Sweet-Music never dies 💕
Great album 47 years ago love the rendition of medusa
THIS SONG IS A MASTERPIECE. YOU PLAY IT AND THE PARTY IS ON. THE VIBES , THE RHYTHM , SIMPLY IRRESISTIBLE. WE LOVE YOU SWEET.
С тех лет в 70ых в годы моей молодости слушаю эту вещь и она мне не надоедает ! 👍
Песня - супер-супер, слушаю больше 40лет,шедевр классиков рока, Англосаксы-виват!
Daß,waren noch Zeiten sehr tolle Musik das gabs damals eben noch .Vermisse diese Zeiten .❤Einsame Spitze die ganzen Bands .Och,genießen u.Augen schließen u.aus bzw.von alten schönen Zeiten träumen.❤
❤
Oder auch: Augen auf und tanzen !
YEAH 🎉
The music is just wow! I'm 15 years old and I love the 80s through to the 60s, just a great performance!!!
Love ❤❤❤ 😢😢😢RIP Brian
Rhythm, melodie, drive, sound...all in perfection...and HANDMADE, no synthesizer used in 1973 ! My Rocksong No.1 forever !
Hammer Gruppe, die man immer wieder gerne hört
Great band. 👌
Eye-lined eyes and heavy makeup. I just love it. We're all grooving. Real fathers of the so called HEAVY METAL..........
Great band....great song...brian...
When I feel down I just listen to this group. They bring me up in a instant! Best group ever!
Best Rock bassists let the noise of the band rise. Brilliant bass. Uk 🇬🇧
I just turned 65 two weeks ago. I have a 27 year old son. He loves the rock music I grew up listening to. I believe rock music is what has kept us young all these years. The only difference between the rock music that my son and I like, he also is a death metal fan LOL Long Live Rock!! My profile pic is from 7 years ago when we attended the Roger Waters concert.
It's 2022 and I'm falling in love with this band all over again. Great song!
The most beautiful song of all time ,
I saw this video on television about 40 years ago.
Great

Mike Tucker fenomenal drummer.
I'd live it all again!
One of the best Drummer I know..Mike Tucker
One of the great bands of the seventies definitely under rated.
Excellent record, takes me back, don't make records like this now 70s + 80s all the way.
When the rock has style, glam and principaly rock and roll
The BEST band EVER
Мне 68 я просто балдею от них, все поют классно, огонь, столько лет прошло, а у меня слезы.
Glam Rock you either hate it or you love it! I love it! Back then, everything was easier! Man I miss those Days.
Brian Connolly - What a voice that guy had. I think it's as close to perfection as you can get.
Ну свит я вообще балдею! Группа моего детства,юности и вообще взросления! Все еще слушаю с превеликим удовольствием! Класс!!!
в ссср в 1970е - народная песня было
@@sergikoms9611 A What?!
Sweet was a hard rock band
IMO they should have been way bigger. This is my fave rock song and the first as a little kid that made me literally smile, uncontrollably.
I grew my hair like lead singer when I was 10 lover those times
The best soundtrack to speeding around the roller rink!
Mick Tucker would have to be one of the greatest drummers in one of the greatest bands!
Hola soy Gloria y tengo 62 años en estos momentos estoy escuchando a Sweth pasando la Cuarentena total ya que La Capital de Chile retrocedió a fase 2 pero escuchando a estos grandes de la música se pasa mejor
Absolutely the BEST !!!!
THE BEST ❤❤
glad its not just me thinks it
@@vanessacruise3261 no it's not vanessa all 4 band members had real talent I hope I can get tickets to a concert in heaven 😊
