Sweet rockin....

Post by RIFF »

Funny, Sweet was a pretty heavy band at times... I mean, a really good pop musical sense, yet they put some balls into it.

They also did some glam pioneering in case you werent aware.. not really this here.. they did full on makeup at times & some really bad outfits! :lol:

Plus his unplugged electric tone... well... it exists.

Indeed... I could go see them, but I doubt I will. I just looked up a recent live vid... they actually SOUND pretty good!
