How exactly were Rhinos comments fair and backed up? Cheers “I feel really sorry for Nuff that he can’t let it go. I watched a recent interview with him and he was still incredibly bitter. After more than 30 years I would hate to think that I might still harbour a grudge over something. Life’s too short.”-Classic Rock Magazine article. Completely fair comment, which yet again is a relevant one after what Nuff’s been saying at Minehead. Life is indeed too short. Also his comment about the FF reunion being a “fucking shambles” is fair too in my opinion, nothing personal about the comment at all. From a musicians point of view it was a shambles, and even as a mere audience member it was nothing entirely special, nostalgia aside. I understood Alan's frustration about money as he was not getting his fair share of royalties. This was sorted out before the reunion and he now gets what he is due. However the rest of it I agree that life is too short.

Well I haven't heard anything about Alan saying that at the signing and if he did it would be all round Minehead.... đź‘Ť

It’s present on all the gigs, recordings and videos of which are knocking about all over YT. Yes you thought it was the bollocks and I’m glad you did as well as everyone else who did, but besides the reminiscing and nostalgia of it all, they were pretty shocking, the common consensus being Parfitt held it together, which he did. The comment about Rhino making a good living off the back of Quo seems rather bitter, he’s been with the band long enough where he’s just as much of a member as Alan or John were. Even then he shows his respect towards the latter two and admires the once great band they were, which is mainly what his shambles comment is derived from. Lacklustre. My comment applies about any musician joining a famous band,not just Rhino. Steve Morse Deep Purple,Richie Faulkner Judas Priest as examples.No bitterness there just simple fact,they are making a decent living off the back of being in famous bands as replacements. Cheers Steve Morse was in The Dregs for many years before Purple, who were a very well established jazz-rock group? And Richie Faulkner played on Steve Harris’ daughter’s solo stuff if memory serves me correctly? Both highly achieved before even joining the bands listed. And no, they aren’t living off being in famous bands as being replacements... if that were the case everyone would be doing it. They’re hand-picked to actually add something to the band. Back to Steve Harris and Maiden, when Janick Gers was brought in to replace Adrian Smith they kept him on after Smith’s return because he added a whole other dynamic to the band.

You must have been at a different gig then,it was fine and many thousands of happy fans afterwards too.They got ripped off by bad management.Alan has every right to be bitter but if he made those comments about Francis publicly then I agree that was out of order.Rhino has made a good living off the back of being in Quo so good luck to him. Cheers Just for balance, on the first FF tour, although he said it wasn’t musically great ( I’m paraphrasing as I can’t remember the exact quote), he said it was a great gig he saw and how the next year although they played better , somehow it wasn’t as good. In a recent interview he said he’d text Rick to say how he’d held the whole thing together, a text Rick always kept. Even John admitted that he played much better second time round and had watched the Wembley dvd so that he could iron out the mistakes for second time around .

Of course they’re replacements they’ve taken over from previous members. Brian Johnson was a replacement for Bon Scott. REPLACEMENT:a person or thing that takes the place of another “ Cheers

My own two cents, it's sad that Alan has lived with that anger for years and can't let go. I understand though because I, like him, can't let it go when I've been wronged and it leaves me feeling quite down a lot of the times. It's a horrible feeling.
If he made those remarks about killing Francis (And I say if because people have made accusations against people in the past and have turned out to be false) then it was wrong and he let his emotions get the better of him and he was out of order....If he made the remark about getting the autographs before they all died, well in what way did he say it? He could have mean't it in a joking way? Most of us here weren't there so IMO, it's wrong of us to pass judgement on that.
Francis made the remark in his book, the one about Alan falling over, which was very tasteless IMO. It's interesting how Rick, Alan and John tended to all drift away from Francis.
But yeah, happy Sunday

At which point did I state otherwise? You said they aren’t living off famous bands as replacements. So what are they then? Cheers If bands didn't get replacements many would have stopped before they even achieved a modicum of fame or reached their classic period, Quo included. I think it's the tone of your comment which makes replacements sound parasitic, they're just musicians doing a job.
