Went into the shop and read it. It's in Planet Rock magazine.
Will summarise...
He's never been influenced by the blues.
He's the boss of the band and always has been. He makes every decision.
Him and Alan haven't spoken since Christmas because apparently Alan was insulting him.
He said the FF shows were piss poor and the atmosphere was all for John and Alan nowt else.
He says none of Alan, Rick or John ever wanted piano or keys but Rossi did.
He says while there are a "couple of moments of magic" on them, the albums between Ma Kelly's and BFY are filled with mostly shit.
He says Rick played up to rock star image and tried to be "macho" which Francis hates and said that at one point he thought Rick was after his position as number 1 in the band.
He says the band now are better than ever and better than the FF
He says he understands fans wanting the groove the FF made but said it took John 50 takes to get the groove and then he'd walk out.
He says the reason for changing the tour to electric was because the fans demanded it and the acoustic thing was to accommodate Rick.
He says been in Status Quo has held him back as musician and songwriter.

Expected as much that he would say that everything bad is someone else's fault and everything good is down to him.

what a c""t a nasty bitter person he is saying the current version of "QUO" is better then FF LMAO that is a joke statement surely or is he on crack. The only shows which are piss poor are not the FF shows but the 4 blokes pretending to be Quo right now.

Bearing in mind Francis said he would be stuck to do anything outside of playing with Quo, it seems he is hell bent on earning a business diploma in his dotage...
Its all rather horseshit isn't it?

Without us fans he has no job, and no new BMW each year. Why is he working so hard to denigrate and ostracise us? Are we fools for enjoying Piledriver?

He also said John Edwards wasn't exactly truthful about his feelings over the reunion in the media or in public
