Get ready to turn the volume up to eleven! In Episode 302 of the Hear 2 Zen Podcast, we are joined by an absolute icon of rock history, the legendary guitarist, songwriter, and the enduring heart of SWEET, Andy Scott!
With the massive Final Blitz Tour of Australia locked in for this October and November, Andy sits down for a massive, unfiltered chat. After being missed on the last run down under, we check in on his health, dive deep into the band’s incredible legacy, and get the stories behind the songs that soundtracked a generation.
From selling 55 million records worldwide to ruling the Australian charts with 13 Top 50 singles, SWEET is a true rock treasure. Andy opens up about everything from their 70s bubblegum beginnings to the moment they knew they had to break the mold.
Some of the things we chat about
- Andy gives an update on how he’s feeling ahead of hitting Aussie shores this October.
- Almost a year after its release, how does he view the album Full Circle, now? Plus, we crack the code on that mysterious RAM946E license plate on the cover.
- The songs and albums that completely changed Andy’s life when he was a kid.
- SWEET moving away from the powerhouse songwriting duo of Chinn and Chapman to escape the “bubblegum pop” bubble and reclaim their heavy rock identity.
- SWEET music placements in film and TV
- What Andy, a lifelong fan of Wrexham FC, really thinks of the Hollywood takeover by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.
- If Andy wrote a 100% honest autobiography, just how much would have to be left out to avoid getting sued?
With the tour kicking off on October 30th in Perth and hitting 14 venues across the country—including Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane—this is the perfect way to prep for the ultimate greatest hits set. Ballroom Blitz, Fox on the Run, Love is Like Oxygen… you’re going to hear them all.
