It doesn't matter; It doesn't matter one iota who is in the band*, it's only the 'music' that matters. Rick was a washed up rock star who couldn't sing at the end so better he's gone and young Richie takes on vocals. Richie is so refreshing. I'd love to hear them do WYW Acapella. Oh, if only they could have Freddie too. Less than a year from his death, it's acceptable to have a go at Rick and use smirking emojis as you make your point that he didn't really matter. Alan and John who? John never wrote any songs, especially not their greatest hits like RAOTW or SBYBIL, unlike the others..... On every album, Alan's songs were just the worst ever. It's a business, don't you know how businesses work? People buy tickets to see the band, not Rick Parfitt. Rick still being on the poster was totally irrelevant. Francis didn't reform Quo because his attempt at a solo career failed. That's not what happened at all. FACT! Accept no substitute..... It doesn't matter.  What a classy bunch. *Apart from Francis Rossi |

I happen to agree with the first point - it is the music that matters. However, for anybody in any doubt about it, the Reunions clearly demonstrated that those four had a musical chemistry which hasn't been replicated since - the closest being the replacement of John by Pete, which at least worked live. I don't know any of these people personally, so have no great emotional attachment to them individually, as I do for the music they produced back in the day.

I thought this thread was going to be about the track from 1+9+8+2.
I quite like that one, especially when I'm in a bad mood.
But in a nutshell, I agree it does matter.

Pete was fantastic live I love his heavy style just wish he’d had a chance to play on some better material than the 2 albums he made with Quo. I should have Known,She Don’t Fool me and Young pretender are good examples of his straight forward style Cheers |

Accept no substitute..... I've actually seen that being quoted by a "true fan". Just goes to show that, in the end, when people are sheep and of limited intelligence all they can utter are soundbites and whatever Porter tells them is the "truth". As for Rick on the poster being irrelevant, didn't they learn about false advertising when they went to business school? |

And imo Ricks vocals were much better on his last uk winter tour with his weight loss even if he did look like he’d lost too much timber.
The FF as a unit were unbeatable imo nothing comes close....I’m dreading next month.

I fear this thread will push freewilly over the edge. Nah. I've suffered from mental issues in the past and occasionally still do but, this just makes me smile and shake my head with a sigh. You're wasting your time even debating with these people. If anything it makes one's soul feel purer |

"FF tours were poorly attended. The 02 in 2013 was poorly attended. A third one would have been a disaster. Francis was very smart for stopping it. All I want is for Status Quo to make a new album with Richie"
From ****, the infamous character who was conceived on here.
I thought he was a troll on here, fishing for bites. I was wrong though. He's just a moron
Didn't realise they played the O2 in 2013.  |

Didn't realise they played the O2 in 2013. I've edited the person in question as they're not on here but they go way back to the original message board with the same patronising nonsense. |
