LC Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Is it Sweet, or The Sweet? Welcome to the board, Panasonicq, even if you had to get riled up a bit in order to register. I will say this: Eric is a stand-up guy, and a great person. He's the last person I'd consider a "wanker." Some of us here are wankers, sure, but I wouldn't include Eric among them....

hollies65 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I don't think Eric cares if someone likes the Sweet...I know he knows people like the Sweet...Eric said he liked the Sweets music...He just thought they were jerks...just like Steve thought he was a jerk...Did the 4000 plus members here go vent on the Sweets website to give Steve shit for stating his opinion??? That's between Eric and Steve. Almost anyone who likes the Sweet is gonna like The Berries...and vice versa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panasonicq Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Well maybe 'hollies65' IS the only wanker/tosser here just because they want to be one, why push it, why believe all that is said by the god that is "Eric"?IS HE ALWAYS RIGHT?Probably not.

marvin Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 This "argument" has been raging for a while on the (The) Sweet message board. It was inevitable that someone from that board would come here and defend their band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you appear to be the resident Sweet expert, can you tell me what the deal is with Andy Scott and Steve Priest? Do they hate each other that much that they have to splinter into two 'cover' bands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna R Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Why do they need to come here and 'defend' them?I have NO desire to go to that message board and defend Eric. What is the point? Plus, the only feedback Eric got for the comments he made, were YOURS! Lastly, because I am not going to waste my energy on this anymore, you are the one who made some VERY inappropriate, ostentatious comments.On HIS message board no less!You lash out and then retract, only to lash out again? Thanks Tim, I have NO desire to see a bunch of people put down and ridicule another human being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 What actually transpired here was a member of the EC.COM family went onto the Sweet board and quoted Eric's comments. We're all very protective of EC here, so of course it was not so unpredictable that someone from the Sweet board would come here and protect their band.By the way I checked out panasoniq's Profile, and he (?) lists "My Girl" and "Boats" as his favourite EC song and album, respectively. Me-thinks this person actually knows Eric's music, since neither of these could be called 'well-known.' How many people here can say that they are familiar with Sweet's non-hits?

Tim From Wisconsin Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 My favorite is "Give Us A Wink" - I love every song on it!Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 As far as EC fans who are also fans of Sweet, I'd guess that Tim, Steve, and maybe one or two others here (including me) are the exception more than the rule. I've got "Desolation", "Give Us A Wink", "Cut Above the Rest", "Off the Record" and a "Best Of." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hollies65 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 All you have to do is make sure they see your first comment. Gonna be hard to top that! BTW, I was half on your side on the Springsteen matter. I only liked one song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Carmen Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 And all this time, I thought their album was called "Give Us A WANK"!!!!!!! Lighten up panasonicq! I was just havin' a little fun. I didn't know the bleedin' drummer was dead! I don't know a thing about the band, except that they weren't very friendly to me and my band. I haven't thought about them for one second since the tour ended in 1976. I wish Steve, and whoever else is still alive, all the best. Cheers, Eric Cardboard P.S. I'm pretty sure they turned their amps up to "eleven!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
