He hasn't done himself any favours with that interview... Although, I suspect he knows exactly the kind of reaction it will no doubt receive..

The big hard man strikes again. He doesn't give a shit though Too bad. There's plenty of CQ fans who'd eat it.

Not a smart move on his part

And yet the bottom line is that Rhino has been a member of Quo for seven more years than the man hardcore fans call Nuff. Quality, not quantity
I feel really sorry for Nuff that he can’t let it go. I watched a recent interview with him and he was still incredibly bitter. After more than 30 years I would hate to think that I might still harbour a grudge over something. 30 years of a lost career with Quo
If they had done an album I don’t think it would have been very good – not at all. Maybe Nuff will want to punch my lights out for saying that because I know he was very keen to do it, but they’re not as young as they were and the band has become something different to what it was back then, whether that’s a good or a bad thing.” A bad thing.
That’ll set the message boards into hyperdrive. “Again, do I give a fuck?” he shrugs. “Those places are full of people who write: ‘I’d like to eat Alan Lancaster’s shit, Quo are the best band ever’. It’s ridiculous.” Classy. Very classy. However, I KNOW you do care. Have a read of Quo's Facebook page if you want that kind of stuff in excess.
Our announcement said it was the end of electric touring. What we’re doing now is gigs [and not tours]. Ah, righto then. How silly of us.
Well, what to say about all of that. I'd be pissed off too, being compared constantly to a predecessor, but that's the gig, and you stand on the shoulders of giants. Quo was Nuff's band, he was ousted and I'd suggest that grudge is warranted.

I see there is one bitter (or frustrated?) man and I don't think its Alan. Very sad to read and totally unnecessary.
Glad he got on with Rick and cared about him. As for the rest, well, I've lost respect for him, even if he is basically a decent bloke fed up with the online backlash. He should be thinking of his current fanbase, rather than those who won't be going.
And looks like team rock read this board as well. So think on folks, with what you say.

The better side will of course pop over to look for the steam and hyperdrive.... Nope... There goes to show what addiction to Lauda or alcool gives the brain... A lot of holes and a reality that is not..... real. I held that person high but he fell down down, deeper and down to the marshland where the Loafer Man roams... Two feet in two mouths... They are friends, right? And seriously... Who wants to eat another person's faeces?? Rhino? I have seen what they do in the water... And being in his 60:s doesn't really show.... Ah... another little insecure of course.

He should be thinking of his current fanbase, rather than those who won't be going. Without the hatred for the current lineup, CQ fans' enthusiasm would be totally non-existent. They only show their colours when somebody is slagging their band off. Capitalist Porter knows this, which is why he allows band members to say anything derogatory about the FF.

Don't have a problem with vast majority of his views. It may seem out of order for him to say what he says about Alan, but it was Mr L who was in the press in 86 calling Rhino and Jeff "a pair of ballerinas". Reckon I'd feel entitled to speak as I find if I was Rhino.
It seems he did have a hand in helping the reunions happen, and if that's the case then thank you Mr Edwards! It was magic for me.
I don't think he's bitter, but I think there are things that have bothered him a lot, and it seem's he's read some things online that were hard for him to take. Not sure he's been able to keep that in perspective. Like I've said before, Rick saying he preferred the FF and wanted to continue with it will likely have been hurtful to the other members of CQ. Wonder how Andy felt?
Only comment I didn't really like was about John - that did seem uncalled for

"What we’re doing now is gigs [and not tours]."
What does that even mean?
When is a tour not a tour??

I see there is one bitter (or frustrated?) man and I don't think its Alan. Very sad to read and totally unnecessary. I quite agree. All bravado, front, and gobiness. Of course he feels like he's taken a storm of shit over the years. Of course he's worked hard to get where he is. So why comments like "I also like Spud which is quite bizarre as not too many people do" ? You don't earn respect just to then sit at the top looking down and taking the piss out of your audience and your predecessors. FFS Quo, change the record. Get creative, and wind your necks in a bit! Rhino personifies the complacency within the band. "Personally I’m thrilled that we’re carrying on"....oh well, who gives a FF about the audience, then.

If you want to keep Rain alive, stay the hell away from it.
