As to the other nugget he finds funny .....
Perhaps that person has children and grand children that he thinks should be shielded away from some of the stuff that went on years ago . Maybe he’s embarrassed by some of it and doesn’t like the drug thing to be bought out in Quo interviews .
After countless books , tv , interviews ... wouldn’t it be interesting to hear a version of 80’s Quo history without the default being around cocaine ?

Everytime you think okay Rossi has finished bashing of the past and of former quo members than he strikes back badder than ever.
I am into rockmusic for nearly 40 years but I cant think of somebody like Rossi who always and always bashes his former band members and some of their or his fans.
Without this 3 guys he would be nothing.

I think I must be reading a different article to you guys. What did he say that so upset you? The only person he called a cu*t was himself! Come on he’s Francis Rossi, he’s been doing the same interview for ever, he used to do it with Rick. Same old stuff. It’s showbiz, got to shift some product, it’s his job and at least he’s kind of funny with it. The interview I read was a good one. Him and Bob having a laugh.

Okay it is showbiz to say that the punters wanted their money back because Rick was singing so bad.

Not defending him but we are responding as die hard Quo fans. If there were complaints, wouldn't they have come from the casuals? Or.. he really mean't his own singing which we've grumbled about for years. Whatever the truth, not a great thing to do Francis... sigh.

I’ve seen them a few times now, just a few. And as I mentioned before on this here page, at the recording of “Just doing it” at the old NEC , Rick barely sung at all....just mouthed the words so they could dub it in later. Now if one of the main guys in the band isn’t actually singing, for what ever reason. Then it could be a money back situation. And there were plenty of times after that where you just sit there and think ....oh dear...but it’s Rick so that’s ok. I don’t want to slag him off coz the experience of him banging out living on an island was always a high point of the gigs for me, but the last few times it was a bit rough.

Either he was singing 4500 Times or they were playing a recording of him doing it ...
I don't really care about the others. He was certainly sounding a bit rough, but that wasn't really surprising. He mostly sounded a bit rough in the last few years and as you say ... we go "poor old Rick, sounding a bit rough right now".
There's always someone who will ask for their money back if something isn't right. But I don't recall anyone mentioning a stampede.

The quip about John Coghlan's foreskin made me actually LOL. Rossi can be a very amusing fellow. The interview is a good read, I honestly can't get over how some on here will pick holes in every single thing & debate the most tedious minutiae to death. The Rossi bashing is so OTT.

But he doesn’t say that though , I wish he had , maybe he’s watched too many political interviews . He’s saying all this to a decades old Quo fan interviewing him , whilst sat beside Bob Young . He is entirely aware what he is talking about and who will read it - Ex Quo members and their families .
