You’re right - it is crap. As expected. I’d never heard it before… I did well though, I lasted until the first ‘a-woo hoo’. I mean really, what’s the fcuking point? 🙄

Not a big fan of it tbh, sounds like Quo-by-numbers filler stuff.

Unfortunately there’s no need for an ‘alternative universe’ at all - they really did/do do this shite! 🙄

a 'new' album to me - never heard of it before but stumbled across it accidentally on a web trawl - I like it, Tormé's guitar's always had that 'freaky' non-usual side that sounds fine [when he does it!]...

It was in Ireland (b/w Calling The Shots) and a few other countries, Germany by the look of one of your links. Yep, one of the few Quo 7” I still have - didn’t get a pic sleeve with it tho. I’ve no idea why I’m keeping it! ‘Jealousy’ itself ain’t bad (that’s not the same as saying it’s good, btw!) but the b-side is worse than shite, would’ve fit nicely on B2B alongside GDTT🤣🤣

Um… no, Teenage Kicks! (Dammit, I didn’t ’play’ the video, just saw the TK graphic!)🙄

… Thought it a bit of a questionable choice as the first single they recorded after John was ousted. Yeah I always wondered about the title too, was it a not-so subtle dig at John? Still not convinced it’s not.👀

Yep, I didn’t delve too much into ‘Metal’ either , Priest, Helloween and Megadeth are enough for me! (Though, I’m going to see Priest, Saxon and Urinal Heap in Dublin next Friday😃) Kings X are a one-off group of wonderfulness in a group of 3, there’s just nobody like them 👍

Yep, the album version for me too - real classy and flies along nicely too, everyone playing at the top of their game👍
Re: SQ’s slide into pop rut, don’t forget, they started in a (f*#kin’ awful) pop-rut, slid out and have slid back in again (imho!) It’s the ‘golden’ period between the 2 pop ruts that I’m here for! 🤣🤪🤘

Yep, I remember it real well still - have the ticket stub an’ all. During Christy and Dónal’s set the crowd up front were chanting for Rossi - Christy said “he’s up in the Gresham havin’ his dinner!” Fergal Sharkey wearing a red & white check-pattern short sleeve shirt - to this day, it reminded me of a table cloth! Priest were brilliant (don’t mind Shearlaw, he’s talking shite) Les Binks’ final gig with Priest - but we didn’t realise it at the time (neither did he, by all accounts!). What I wouldn’t give to hear a recording of that day😢
