This will be the future of many famous bands: they will sell their name or select their successors themselves so their music (and the income) will continue. With a back catalogue like Quo any band would be able to survive the live circuit for decades. (CQ only needed about 20 songs anyway). There are no new super groups and this is what the people seem to want: to hear those old hits over and over. When I saw the Australian Pink Floyd it struck me how old fashioned I am: the music was there (note perfect), the light show and videos were amazing, and yet I missed the magic. It's a drag getting old... Similar to what Queen have done now. Brian May and Roger Taylor auditioned musicians to make up the Queen extravaganza. An offical tribute band. Which seems to be the way it's heading. The music will live on and Quo's music, Queen's music, Floyds etc. Needs to be played live. We can relive the old days but young people need to hear this music played live to them that way it will live on. I've seen Queen Extravaganza twice in the last couple of weeks. They were absolutely outstanding. In one week, I saw Aussie Floyd and Queen Ex. Both world class. The idea of tribute bands has moved into the big league, with these bands charging £40 for a ticket, selling out arenas, with a full production. Queen Ex, having been given the nod of approval from Brian & Roger, have the advantage of Queen money behind them. But the players were superb. I doubt very much that I could have ever heard the entire album of Night at the Opera being performed as well as Queen back in the 70s as what I have witnessed this month.
Now - this leads me on to Quo. There are loads of Quo tribute bands - and some of them are very good indeed. I daresay there could be a market for a big production Quo show, using session players, reproducing the classic Quo shows from the 70s.

I'm sure it's called the music business or the entertainment industry.Don't kid yourself we'd all do the same as Rossi,bearing in mind none of know his financial situation.

I think you're right.If Quo had been invisible and faceless it was always the music with me.When I first heard Piledriver I could have walked past them at a bus stop and not recognized them.You can imagine a well motivated guitarist giving ROLD their best rather than bending and mugging all over the place.

Remembering that Rock music has not been around for that long and may well go the way of classical music.The players change but the music doesn't.

Nothing is right without Rick. I hate this tbh I noticed they left out Rhino's reaction to Rick's near death experience. Typical. Maybe because he wasn't being interviewed.

I never thought I could 'like' this idea. But you know what, if it was a choice between this or Quo the Musical, I know which one I'd prefer!

I don't understand. It is the same things they have said over and over since the Summer. Doesn't it get a bit repetitive, nearly as the set list. Move on keep listening to the music you like. What they do is no concern to me. There's nothing really new here, except maybe, Francis openly acknowledging it could be him. And I get the bit about him feeling, "Dont do that to Rick". I've heard that CPR is really traumatic, to experience and to watch, probably more to watch than to experience as the target is usually unconscious. Most people in fact don't survive it, or don't survive it for long. Rikc is a lucky Rick.
