Michael Sweet

Yes.

So welcome our new friend, Michael Sweet.

How are you guys? This is a

first, a first for me.

So you seem like, I think you've been called maybe the busiest man in music because you have a lot of things going on.

You're writing, you have some other projects and I love that.

When you're writing, do you go specifically in and in a writing season say I'm writing for Striper or you're like, this could be a Michael Sweet solo.

This could be a Striper song.

How is this, how is this my fate? How is this, how is this my fate?

Hey everybody, this is Michael Sweet with Striper, and you are listening

to The Antidote with Dave Hawkins.

Past lingered, tried to stay and then the spirit came A gentle refrain A lost moment, found again Thoughts are broken from beginning to end Burying in this space

And that'll be coming up.

Also coming up, Michael Sweet will be returning to the show from Striper.

And a bunch of other very cool guests.

But right now, let's get into this cool guest.

Very nice.

Well, anyway, Boston is back out on the road, and they've tapped the lead singer from the band Striper, Michael Sweet, who's been a guest on the Classic Metal Show.

As a matter of fact, if you listen to the Classic Metal Show every week here on... on 104.7 The Rocket or at cmsradio.net. We always ask a classic metal show traditional question to all our guests.

How has Lemmy from Motorhead influenced your career? And Michael Sweet of Striper and currently of Boston was the very first person we ever asked that question to.

Yeah, 300 interviews ago, it was Michael Sweet that started it all.

Right, so here it is.

This is Boston with Cool the Engines, or should I say Cool the Grills, on your morning show, 104.7 The Rockets.

All right.

September 28th, we have a album anniversary, a solo record from Michael Sweet.

The album called Real came out in 1995.

That one I know is okay.

Yeah.

I just had Michael Sweet from Stryper on a couple days ago.

It's great.

And that's what made them huge, was being on Dial MTV-

I do.

Art Attack Brooks is listening to Michael Sweet's solo albums and Striper.

Philip Hill is listening to Kiss Destroys Anaheim and Kingdom Come Bad Image.

Anthony Stockham is listening to Trouble Walking.

Might not be enough to sink in, but I'll see if I'm close to your reviews." And another one here says, uh, "I listened to Angelica in the past.

I saw Dennis Cameron playing in Michael Sweet's solo band in, back in 1994.

That was a great festival.

Had Sweet, Whiteheart, Rich Mullins and others have played." And yeah, so that's how that went.

It's interesting to hear how people write a- and I've heard it all over the board.

I had, uh, my friend Michael Sweet from Stryper on...

He's been on my show a couple of times now.

But he's a very structured writer.

Of course, no pressure, right

... you're, you know, you have to immerse yourself in...

I could understand like Michael Sweet because he's not only got that, he's got four other projects going on.

Sure.
