Call me a cynical but whose to say that Quo didn't feed this to the press. ie no publicity is bad publicity. Either that or one of the journos is a disgruntled Quo fan.

They just like stirring up trouble. What paper was it in anyway?

Great to see it being ripped up him, managed this very badly.but let's remember it didn't start since Rick died...he's been treating Rick disrespectfully for months

This is connected to Ricks death and the sadness that goes with it. I think that disappointment is the key word, not anger.
Speaking for myself, it was disappointment I was expressing

Exactly. Would it really have been beyond them to have a clip of Rick or project a picture during Rain? Anything! I know he's gone, people die, 'get over it' as seems to be the case with lots of 'fans'. But he mattered to us.

This is how you do it. With a bit of class.

I reckon Rossi is as hard as nails,he won't be playing the showbiz game expected of him by fans.I prefer this to insincere bullshit and fake heart wringing.Although it's hard with FR and the way he is at least he's consistant.He won't compromise for fans,as the old ones go apeshit new fans keep it all going. How many in the audience in Talin compared to how many on the various boards and it's the PAYING customers that matter.I'm in doubt that he in,the end,will put RP's illness and death into the category "I told him enough times" what more could I have done. I dig him out as much as anybody but really..on the evidence of about 10 documentaries and loads of interviews..not much to base any sort of judgement on to be honest. Yep. They weren't getting on well for a long time. I suspect talking about it at all (nevermind when he is "working") is not easy. Vast majority of us have recently expressed "nothing matters now....Quo over....francis can do what he likes" sentiments. Makes no difference to me what he says or doesn't say. Rick has gone, and nothing Francis does or doesn't do changes that

Rick has gone, and nothing Francis does or doesn't do changes that Sentiments extend to Francis can do what he likes in terms of musical direction he prefers. Which of course he is free to do, whether any of us like it or not.
But that doesn't mean he is exempt from criticism in terms of how he handles this, including the loss of Rick. If he chooses to continue with "Status Quo" as he sees it, then he also should expect to continue to expect reaction to how he does this. Cake and eat it comes to mind.

fair enough @catlady I'm just not bothered now.
What I am is surprised - didn't think any journo would bother looking in on us here!

Because we live in an age where conclusions need to be jumped to to get a quick, easy resolution, we often mistakenly work on the basis that everything is agenda driven in order to make sense of it. Just saying that we know nothing of what goes on in between the initial event and our assumption-based conclusions, or all the nuances behind the scenes. Sometimes we do, sometimes we don't. It's complicated, and i appreciate that it's human nature to do so, of course.

I've read some far-fetched excuses why Rossi said nothing or didn't have to say anything about his "comrade's" demise. He's a crunt is the only explanation. Has he got problems expressing his emotions? Feck off! And what about their shared manager Porter? Couldn't he at least have convinced the sad old git to do something, anything however small to commemorate a person who some have claimed was half of Quo for 30 odd years.
Will they stage a tribute event after this disgrace? The hypocrites can go to hell. Better to have them all walk naked through Hammy for 7 days, while Derry, FW and yours truly ring bells shouting SHAME, SHAME, sHAME!
