Conscientiously Quiet?
Creatively Quintessential?
Captivatingly Quantifiable?

No I really shouldn't say, but it was widely used on the Squimby.
Funnily enough, its use did cause certain people's twirly fingers to become swollen with rage and was even known to cause buttons to explode from their cardigans. In the melee that followed, dropped stitches were known to occur from those sitting at the back of CQ gigs.
So, it's use should be carefully considered for those not fortunate enough to understand the simple formula FF>CQ

it's not really very good is it (the term, not the band!)
it seems to be used to mean Quo from 86 onwards, which, erm, isn't very current!
other fanbases have stuff agreed like MK2, MK4 etc, but it's too late for us to agree any of that
We now only generally see "FF" and "CQ", while there is nothing for, say, Quo 82-85
CQ exists because it helped us differentiate the two different SQ's during 2013 and 2014, then CQ just stuck. Still, it's better than "panto Quo"!

Still, it's better than "panto Quo"! I agree with using MKI and MKII etc.. like other classic rock bands. Problem is even Quo themselves recently (for marketing purposes) used SQ1 (rather erroneously) in the "Back to SQ1" FF campaign. But, I do like the SQx format too. Forgetting anything before the Status Quo name, SQ1 would cover anything recorded upto Umleitung and SQ2 would be from that date upto JC leaving or does SQ3 start when AB officially joined the band? Then again AB's face wasn't on the back of the NTL album. See we'd have problem deciding and we wouldn't trust the band as they have a habit of rewriting their own history. So how does it go? SQ1 : 1967 - 1970 SQ2 : 1970 - 1981 SQ3 : 1982 - 1985 SQ4 : 1986 - 2000 SQ5 : 2000 - 2013 SQ6 : 2013 - present Not counting FF reunion dates. |

1977 with Andy Bown, a full time member. I always thought that Andy was made a 'full time member' in 1982.
I played Never Too Late yesterday and noticed that AB isn't included in the names of the group. He is credited along with Bernie Frost as an additional musician.
He may have been playing with them live since the mid 70s (off stage in the wings in 76 and on stage from 77) but if memory serves, he was appointed 'official' status in 1982 as part of the 20th Anniversary publicity - and he appeared in the group shot on 1+9+8+2.

According to the quo site: "A full member of the band since 1976, he has contributed some great songs to the Quo hit list including "Whatever You Want" and "Burning Bridges"."www.statusquo.co.uk/quo.htm#andrew |

What's that? Status Quo play free and easy with their history, according to what suits their marketing?
No, no I'm sorry, I won't hear of it. Looking forward to their 30th Anniversary tour this year. 
Andy was promoted here, but poor old Bernie remains on BVs:

Yes, Andy was officially promoted in 82, but really it was a gradual thing. To be fair his contribution to the sound was very much that of a full member on NTL and JS
And of course he left for a few years at some point following bereavement. I forget the name of his replacement

Finally, somebody coming around to my way of thinking. I rate them as three bands, however. First, I hate the psychedelic stuff, so I don't care what they were. So, Quo1 -1970-1981 Quo2 - 1981-1986 Quo3 -1986- present The reason for only one Quo 3 is that none of the drummers have had a significant enough impact to matter, although I think Jeff came close at times. Only Coughlan lifted the drumming into something special. |
