The same Rossi, who disgracefully treated and shafted his oldest and best mate?
The same Rossi, who said Alan was too macho but yet, acts emotionless and the hard man himself the whole time?
The same Rossi, who has lied to us for years?
The same Rossi, who hates what Quo stood for but, tarnishes it's name and legacy at every chance he gets?
That Rossi?
No chance!

If Rossi had an ounce of dignity or honour in his body, he would break up the band and stop. Now. He won't, though, because he is a feckin waalloper. This is what he should do, at the most, there will be a mention in a tour programme, and not sure that will happen |

And he didn't even acknowledge from stage when he was alive, so I hope he isn't hypocritical enough to do it now. Perfect time was that piss Aquostic shite at Hyde park, could have said something about his mate of 50 years...
Nah, he was more interested reminding the press that this was all Ricks fault and how brilliant the band were now that Rick had gone, and how great Richie was..
Folks wake up, he has been disgraceful in this entire process

It's seems that everybody on this board at one time or another has been in Status Quo and knows exactly what happens every minute of the bands working life.I've known my brother for 57 years but I've no idea what happens at his work,how he get's on with his mates.It'a band of strangers so what's the story,could the late Rick have been a total bastard? How would you know,all we see is the PR stuff.What is it really like to work with Alan Lancaster...how many of your best mates are still your best mates? Quo still going? I think that they got stuffed in the financial disaster of 2009 and have to keep going.They seem to have loads of fans who like what FR does with band.The FF stuff would have run out steam soon enough,matter of health as much as anything.I'm sure AL is a good bloke but how many people throw a right hander at a customs official without blinking?None of the band batted an eyelid when JC was sacked.Rossi isn't the worst guitar player ever and why shouldn't he keep it going?

Without knowing Francis personally, we do of course have well informed insight into his personality and what makes him tick. We also have value bases in society that help us all conduct ourselves. He repeatedly said that this was all ricks fault, that the band were doing great, that richie was wonderful, and never acknowledged his mate of 50 years on stage. Now what I have just said is factual.. So when I apply the insight we have into rossi with our standard society value base...I come to a conclusion, that he has conducted himself disgracefilly, but based on the insight we have on the man, I am not surprised at any of his actions. So I conclude as per the question in the thread, that rossi won't acknowledge rick. Btw I don't know your btother but if I had met him a few times in 57 years, I would have a fair idea how he might react to different situations, whether I had seen him every day or not |

We all know why the band had to go on, it's not Francis fault that Rick could get no insurance for heart problems. The band is a business and does not want to be sued. Ok maybe Francis said it in the wrong way but he has to "Sell" the gigs. After all is not likely to say "It's crap without Rick don't bother coming". No-one turning up would have bankrupted the band as well. |

We will discuss the whole entire sorted affair of who done what in another post, but for now I am fed up hearing the insurance crap, that may have validated them carrying on initially, but what validates the continuation of this pathetic tour this year, it certainly wasn't a contract that was previously signed |

Venues these days tend to need a bit more than 1 years notice to book a gig, the first gig is in April 2017. Rick "Fell Over" in June last year, I think all these gigs were booked before the Turkey incident. Rick's illness caused the announcement of these gigs to be delayed as they did not know what was going to happen initially. The gigs were selling very well before June, so the fact that they continued was always going to be an option and at the end of they day it's marketing. They have to "Sell" the gigs and saying "due to popular demand" always puts bums on seats as people think "oh im missing out". |

DQ I know that you feel that you're let down by a band that you invested a lot into,I'm not talking money here,but my cynicism,here is the dictionary explanation of the word not because you don't know mate "an inclination to believe that people are motivated purely by self-interest".I got this in 1986 when they came back I thought "Fuck it you're the same as all the rest then after I thought you were like us".You need to get DQ that 'they' don't give a shit about you,me,Davy,QQ,Ceegie,Paradise,4th,Victor,Lemmys,Freewilly,Gav,MB,Kursaal,Granny,1batfastard and everyone on here who I think are ssssooooo fucking loyal to the band.Is aquostic,no green fender and no Rick Parfitt any resemblance to 'my' Status Quo,fuck me there's enough of them to go around.So don't think that there's a bigger truth it's just a case of that you/me made a mistake when we chose them to be heroes,they are blokes who used our hard earned to stuff drugs up their noses and never turn down a chance to dig out the Frantic Fousands(that's the Piledriver to BTB mob)...great music/band DQ but a bunch of wankers as individuals.They've been calling us the 'Billy' long enough now.Nice to be called a customer.

One thing is sure; I will never know because I will never ever visit a "Quo" gig again, and will never ever bother to listen to links, youtube etc to the FRQ. That's 100% sure!
