Thank you - my life is now Damned Sweet/complete...
Way way way back in time at age 13 Sweet was the first band to awaken my interest in rock music. At the time I had only a couple of 45 records, one was "Fox on the Run", which I wore out on my cheap turntable. Good thing at the time I didn't know what they looked like, because otherwise I would have been worried about what my parents thought. From a vocal standpoint, not just a group like The Beatles or KISS, with 4 lead singers, but a group with 4 STRONG lead singers and impeccable harmony vocals. And fun was the most important element. Thanks Max (from the USA)
also, das macht aber sowas von meinem Tag heute, eigentlich seit gestern schon. habt Dank, Herr S.
ich weiß, dass es zwar nach Opa war Leipzig/Einundleipzig auch dabei klingt wenn ich es sage, aber driss-ejal: damals war (zwar nicht)alles besser, jedenfalls alles, was sich Blockbuster schimpft.
und wenn ich mir Rebel Rouser was genauer anhöhre - und hell, yeah, das tu ich gerade in so voller Lautstärek, dass mein Tinitus tirriliert, dann muss ich feststellen, dass die Pistols bei Something Else in schamlosester Manier bei den Süßen geklaut haben. Check it out!
der Ernst Wilhelm Ney-Preis für die hippeste private Wiederentdeckung geht übrigens diesen Monat an Love is like Oxygene, was ich bislang irrtümlich für ein vernachlässigenswwertes Spätwerk gehalten habe. Asche auf mein restbehaartes haupt!!
