  • Glam Rock by Barney Hoskyns 1
    Glam Rock By Barney Hoskyns There's a new sensation A fabulous creation, A danceable solution To teenage revolution Roxy Music, 1973 1: All the Young Dudes: Dawn of the Teenage Rampage Glamour – a word first used in the 18th Century as a Scottish term connoting "magic" or "enchantment" – has always been a part of pop music. With his mascara and gold suits, Elvis Presley was pure glam. So was Little Richard, with his pencil moustache and towering pompadour hairstyle. The Rolling Stones of the mid-to- late Sixties, swathed in scarves and furs, were unquestionably glam; the group even dressed in drag to push their 1966 single "Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadow?" But it wasn't until 1971 that "glam" as a term became the buzzword for a new teenage subculture that was reacting to the messianic, we-can-change-the-world rhetoric of late Sixties rock. When T. Rex's Marc Bolan sprinkled glitter under his eyes for a TV taping of the group’s "Hot Love," it signaled a revolt into provocative style, an implicit rejection of the music to which stoned older siblings had swayed during the previous decade. "My brother’s back at home with his Beatles and his Stones," Mott the Hoople's Ian Hunter drawled on the anthemic David Bowie song "All the Young Dudes," "we never got it off on that revolution stuff..." As such, glam was a manifestation of pop's cyclical nature, its hedonism and surface show-business fizz offering a pointed contrast to the sometimes po-faced earnestness of the Woodstock era.

  • Konzert: the Sweet „The Show Must Go on – Tour 2021“ Mittwoch, 10
    Konzert: The Sweet „The Show must go on – Tour 2021“ Mittwoch, 10. November 2021, 20.00 Uhr Sweet ist eine der wenigen berühmt berüchtigten "Glam Rock Bands", die Chart Erfolge in den 70ern, 80ern und 90ern gehabt haben. Sie haben über 30 Millionen Platten verkauft und sind immer noch eine "live" Touring Band. Sweet bietet viel mehr als nur Glam Rock, ihre Musik ist zeitlos und vielseitig. Vom reinen Pop bis Heavy Metal, von Liedern wie Little Willy mit nur drei Akkorden bis hin zu komplexen Arrangements wie Love Is Like Oxygen. 1970 war ein wichtiges Jahr, Sweet mit Andy Scott, Steve Priest, Mick Tucker und Brian Connolly trafen auf die Songwriter Nicky Chinn und Mike Chapman und Plattenproduzent Phil Wainmann. Diese fünfjährige Partnerschaft brachte zwölf Top-Twenty Hits hervor, darunter auch eine Nummer eins. Die Medien meinten daraufhin, dass die Band eine Retortenband sei. Die hartgesottenen Fans wussten es besser. Auf den B Seiten der Hits fand man eigene Heavy Rock Kompositionen. Die Live Auftritte waren sensationell, was nicht nur an der Musik lag. Mitglieder der Band wurden in Belgien wegen eines obszönen Bühnenauftrittes festgenommen. Das alles hat ihr Image nur gefördert. US Hits waren unter anderen Ballroom Blitz, der später im Film "Wayne's World" zu hören war, Fox On The Run, eine Nummer zwei, Action später ein Hit für Def Leppard und Love Is Like Oxygen auf Nummer fünf. Ihr Album Desolation Boulevard bekam Gold. Love Is Like Oxygen war seit drei Jahren wieder der erste weltweite Hit für Sweet. Das Lied, vom Gitarristen Andy Scott geschrieben, wurde mit zwei Novello Awards ausgezeichnet.

  • 1978: El Año En Que Sweet Canta Que El Amor Es Como Oxígeno
    1978: El año en que Sweet canta que el amor es como oxígeno Hace unas cuatro décadas, en los primeros meses del vetusto 1978, un cuarteto británico de Glam Rock alcanza su último Top 10 en las listas, tanto en Estados Unidos como en la isla de Su Majestad, Gran Bretaña. Se trata de Sweet, que sacude la década de los 70 con el incombustible tema «Ballroom Blitz» –parte de la banda sonora del filme «Suicide squad», estrenada en 2016- que decide dar un estilístico giro desde el hard rock a unas pulsaciones mucho más calmadas. Con la canción «Love is like oxygen», incluido en el LP «Level headed» (1978), el grupo reemplaza los riffs rockeros por un sonido más melódico, similar al que muestran por esos días bandas como Electrich Light Orchestra, Fletwood Mac y The Eagles, por ejemplo, en un claro formato de baladas, dándole paso al uso de sintetizadores, solos de guitarras acústicas con una impronta barroca y una que otra influencia de folk rock. Es casi ya el fin de los días del Glam Rock, movimiento en el que Sweet había sido uno de sus estandartes. Y, curiosamente, fue también la última grabación con la formación clásica del grupo. 1978: El año en que Sweet canta que el amor es como oxígeno Bipolaridad músical Sweet comienza en 1965, cuando el baterista Mick Tucker se integra al conjunto Wainwright’s Gentlemen cuyo vocalista es Ian Gillan, quien al poco tiempo renuncia para aparecer y consagrarse -algunos años después- como el front man de Deep Purple. Sin Gillan, los Wainwright’s Gentlemen le dan el protagonismo a Brian Connolly, suman al bajista Steve Priest y cambian de nombre al grupo: Sweetshop.

  • The Sweet – 09
    THE SWEET – 09. Juni 2018 – Berlin – Zidadelle Spandau – 50th Anniversary - Gold Birthday Bash - Support: HEAVEN IN HELL - Text und Fotos: Holger Ott SWEET oder SLADE ??? Im Alter von 13, 14 oder 15 war das unsere einzige Sorge, bevor sich unser Musikgeschmack etwas später ausdehnte und anspruchsvoller wurde. Mein damaliger Favorit waren SLADE und in meinem bescheidenen Kinderzimmer war kaum noch ein Stück Tapete zu sehen, denn neben dem Bravo-Starschnitt prangte alles an Postern an den Wänden, was die Zeitschriften hergaben. Als Fan von THE SWEET war man ja ein 'Weichei' und welcher Junge wollte das schon sein und sich so vor den Mädchen bloßstellen. Trotzdem, mein allererstes Konzert führte mich in die Deutschlandhalle zu THE SWEET. Im Rahmen einer BRAVO-Tour traten sie dort mit anderen Bands auf und nach endlosem flehen, betteln und artigen Versprechungen, durfte ich diese Veranstaltung besuchen. Ich kann mich weder daran erinnern, wie teuer die Karte war und wer da noch alles spielte, es ist eben über vierzig Jahre her, aber es war der Beginn meiner Leidenschaft Konzerte zu besuchen. Seitdem haben sich etliche Foto-Klebealben mit Konzertkarten gefüllt, die ich nach wie vor in Ehren halte, nur dummerweise habe ich diese Eine von damals nicht mehr. In diesem Jahr haben THE SWEET nun auch schon die 50 erreicht und feiern das ausgerechnet in Berlin. Da könnte man sich doch glatt fragen, warum das so ist. Hier in der Zitadelle und nur hier findet der Gold Birthday Bash statt, zudem einige Gastmusiker eingeladen sind. Darunter hauptsächlich Leute, die die härtere Gangart bevorzugen, wie DORO, MAT SINNER, der Leitfigur von Rock Meets Classic sowie MARC STORACE von KROKUS und der ehemalige SWEET-Gitarrist STEVE MANN.

    KNAC.COM - Reviews - Sweet Glitz, Blitz & Hitz: The Very Best Of Sweet Welcome to the LOUDEST DOT COM ON THE PLANET! Create Your Own Blog in Sweet Glitz, Blitz & Hitz: The Very Best of Sweet DVD 2 Minutes! FREE! By Frank Meyer, Contributing Editor Thursday, March 17, 2005 @ 12:12 AM Recent Reviews (MVD) Fans of ‘70s glam can raise their lipstick in toast as the mighty Sweet Sweet Glitz, Blitz & have finally become the subject of one of these cool retrospectives Hitz: The Very Best of where they gather the motherload of clips onto one massive DVD Sweet DVD extravaganza. Glitz, Blitz & Hitz collects all of Sweet's bubblegum and Trivium Ascendancy glam-rock hits from their early days ("Ballroom Blitz," "Wig Wam Bam," "Blockbuster!") as well as rare performances of some of their heavier Judas Priest Angel of rock tracks from the later era (“Action,’ “Fox on the Run”). Retribution The format is a behind-the-music style documentary, complete with Black Label Society interviews with leaders Brian Connolly and Andy Scott, writer/producer/ Mafia manager Nicky Chinn, and producer/manager Phil Wainman. Plus, there’s tons of cool bonus material from the original 16mm films that the band shot to promote their singles. My only complaint would be that you can’t really cue up the many killer live performances and video right to the beginning of the song, the chapters always start with an interview that you have to wait or fast-forward through to get to the rock. Watching the doc is great once, but after that I wanna get to the tunes.
