Yep....hence Noddy was able to give up Touring etc... he has his nest egg through that song. I don't see Quo members being in that position. Too much money shoved up their noses..buying Porches every 3 days etc....during their selling years. Came back to bite them unfortunately! Ironically the person who has probably secured his future is Bob Young credit to him. Major songwriter of the hits and got out as soon as the band got the Sniffles....excuse expression.

The only version of Quo I'd support for any one offs, tour or new album would be Francis Rossi, Alan Lancaster, John Coghlan, Andrew Bown and a selected rhythm guitarist of your choice. That would be worth supporting as far as my selfish blues rock tastes go. Hi All, What about ricks son does he play ? either that or the guy who Rick mentored who plays now Richie Malone ?
As far as the rest of it goes concerning Rick (RIP) does anybody know if Rick received any counselling when he was told not to tour ? I can imagine what he must he went through as I have been in a similar place. Being told you cannot just jump back into what you like doing as a job through ill health it does your head in.
Thankfully I had my rather splendid wife and daughter to help me through the last 16 years, I would have thought that given his marital problems along with his health the thought of not playing on tour again would have a rather detrimental affect to his mental health without support such as I have had indeed if that was the case ?
As for the band carrying on well as many on the forum have said and the FR himself has admitted being insecure, could that have had something to do with (Going back to post FF reformation) the direction he took the band ? Being insecure you would obviously think whatever you did was just not good enough from Writing the music/Making Albums/Touring to the retirement plans not being well formed always seeking to improve even when perfect ?

Christ sake however many cars they bought,coke they bought,wives they paid off. They should still be sitting pretty. In this respect I feel no pity for them in anyway shape or form.
