Every kid in Australia will probably also tell you who The Wiggles are .. Oh that's The Wiggles? I thought that was CR poisoning performing Gerdundula.

I've not listened to it that closely. Which ones /times? ‘Without You’ on headphones you can hear that very slight metallic quality auto tune gives to vocals. Cheers

Two points... 1) Don't you think that Over and Out (the track) should have been shifted in the track listing as the final track? 2) Autotune. Knowing how shot Ricks voice sounded in the last couple of years before his untimely passing, surely Autotune must have been used? Ok, ok a third point... I just want to say (before I disappear up my own arse again) that I really do enjoy the album. It isn't a Quo album, it was never intended to be a Quo album, it's a Rick Parfitt album. Yes, several of the songs do have a Quo vibe, but as he was integral to the Quo sound it is only to be expected. There's a good mix of styles and it seems a fair reflection on Ricks love of music. For those that wish to compare it to Quo, well it's a far more enjoyable listen than anything they've produced since the JS/NTL sessions. My only criticism is maybe it could have done with a smidgen more "oomph" in production on a few of the rockier tracks. Great work to all those involved. You can hear the autotune on some tracks. I've not listened to it that closely. Which ones /times?

Bobby Crush. Barring him, I'd have to say Jon Lord. Bobby Crush? Rock?

God knows, first I've heard of it too. It's not if it's exactly new either, from 2004.
What a strange one.

There seems to be some vocals missing! It's taken from a 4 track instrumental EP, apparently! Doesn't an instrumental usually have a prominent instrument where the vocals would be? E.G. Telstar, FBI, Good Thinking (Batman) & Axel F? This sounds like a backing track.

About the original.. At least (after a short while and I believe an impending possible lawsuit from the record company ) FR was added to the list of composers to Scorpio Rising by Death in Vegas. (Ian Button, Francis Rossi, Harry Pratt, Richard Maguire, Andrew Whiston)

another pic to caption FR:Do you think if I stand here and block that camera they may think Spud is on the drums? Other bass player: Well I was thinking of chopping off my feet, wearing a blonde wig and sing all of Ricks stuff. The casual punters are so thick they wouldn't notice.

Francis: Would you mind if I kicked you in the bollox for being a twat?
The other bass player: Me the twat?
Andy: Just look at those pair of twats. One's a rock star wishing to be a country star, whilst the other is a c*** wishing to be a rock star.

Rhino: Aww please Boss, let me sing anuvva one of Rick's. I quite fancy Unspoken Words. I'm good me.
Leon: Just look at that tw@t sucking up to the gaffer.
Andy: FFS. He's so f**king shallow. Not that long ago he was up Parfitt's arse. Now he's gone he thinks he's number two. Well, he is in a way I suppose.

Hi All, Assassins Creed (Via SKY Cinema) I enjoyed the film adaptation of the highly popular Sci-Fi/Fantasy video game which was fast paced throughout and can easily be watched a second time around......
Starring:-Michael Fassbender,Marion Cotillard,Jeremy Irons,Brendan Gleeson,Charlotte Rampling,Michael K. Williams,Denis Ménochet, Ariane Labed,Khalid AbdallaEssie Davis,Matias Varela,Callum Turner,Carlos Bardem,Javier Gutiérrez,Hovik Keuchkerian and Michelle H. Lin.
Cal Lynch travels back in time to 15th-century Spain through a revolutionary technology that unlocks the genetic memories contained in his DNA. There, he lives out the experiences of Aguilar de Nerha, a distant relative who's also a member of the Assassins, a secret society that fights to protect free will from the power-hungry Templar Order. Transformed by the past, Cal begins to gain the knowledge and physical skills necessary to battle the oppressive organization in the present.
Geoff. I can't wait for "Pacman: The Movie" & "Jet Set Willy in the Mine of Doom" .

A big thumbs down for the full album, and id imagine John and Al thought the same . Lancaster wrote two of the worst songs on the album, "Stones" and "Gonna Teach You To Love Me" AND said at the time that "Accident Prone" was the best thing they ever did - so he was happy with it. Life is good through nuff coloured glasses. A lot rosier than looking through Frame's frames. what is image hosting
