This man was KILLING it writing and recording and playing live on stages over 40 years ago and people have the nerve to make juvenile comments about his appearance now that he is nearing 70 years of age?
Grow up. This man is A LEGEND.

Four super talented musicians with voices that until this day is not matched. Should be in the Rock &Roll Hall Of Fame

"Action" is the song that made me a Sweet fan, and caused me to purchase "Give Us A Wink." I thought it was a brilliantly-constructed hard rock song. And I was not disappointed with the rest of the album either. Gone was the 'bubble-gum pop, ' and Sweet suddenly had my full attention as a top-class hard rock act rivaling any of the other top acts of the day. I was impressed by both the songwriting and the musicianship, and I went on to buy all of their albums. And when the CD format came out, I've re-bought them all many times over to get all the extra tracks. I think I'm even more of a fan today than I was in the 70's, knowing more about music today than I did then, and now more able to fully appreciate all of the hard work these guys put into their craft. Respect.

I had the pleasure of seeing Andy Scott play live in Las Vegas back in 1994 at the Hurricane club. I got to meet him after the show and I was like a little kid. I had so many questions about songs over the year and my mind went blank lol. I did get an Andy Scott pick :-)

Absolutely love the sweet... In my opinion the most underated british band... Long live the sweet rip the past members i for one will never stop listening to their music and promoting how heavy they were for their time and how talented the were and in my view they should be remembered for their accomplishments

Cellos! Who knew ...This just goes to show how brilliant musicians Andy Scott and the boys were .You can't take it away from them they had so many hits and heavy guitar albums and yes they will go right up there with Purple and Zepp and Sabbath. Keep on rocking Andy .

At the time Action came out I was ~ 10 or 11. I remember being thrilled with the 'edginess' of the song. All my friends thought I was a dickhead for liking such shite.
Well let me tell you, now I'm older and know a thing or two about stuff, I think Action is quite possibly one of the most unlikely songs to make it to the pop charts.
Fully twenty years after it was released (around 1995), I remember at 7am one morning, on an alternative radio station of all things, driving over a bridge (I'm a truck driver) and Action coming on. At the end of the song, the DJ said "An anthem to kick start a town".
I thought that was a rather classy thing to say. It is very like that this song.
It makes you feel at home in a world of dystopia - it's all happening and I'm in it!

For me this song has never aged and accordingly I would call Action a Rock Classic.
Synergy; the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Action nails synergy and is just a bit special.

Action was THE sweet song that got me aware of the band back then. It hypnotized me as i was 10 years old. I always asked myself how they did it and until today, i frequently find something new in the track.
I feel blessed now listening to Andy explaining the details.

I love the simple creative genius of forming a cello trio just for one song to orchestrate a one-note guitar riff. It seems like they had an artistic philosophy similar to The Beatles, in how they intentionally recombined fresh creative ideas into something infectious, innovative and unique with popular appeal.

Please, I beg of you, for the love of God, ensure that these videos are always accessible to musicians. This is information you can't get anywhere from people of this magnitude in the business. The Sweet was such a badass band too in those days, not to take one iota away from the band now, but holy crap, what an entertainment machine! Thank you so much for sharing this wisdom! I have been obsessed with your work for nearly 50 years. Very best wishes, sincerely!
