I think the point is that if John hadn't lost his cool in 1982, he would've played on "Marguerita Time". The way things were going, his input wouldn't have changed much about the song. But that's where Francis' mindset was at that point. It sort of mirrors a couple of fans on this board who just keep acting as if albums like RTYD or HT or QPQ never happened. They're stuck in 1986, basically. Did John ever honor the fact that they did some much more Quo sounding tracks after those 80s deviations? In John's defence, he's never been asked about stuff like HT...Would be interested in his opinion. I do know he loves Army 🤷♂️ Also, Roger Taylor of Queen hates Another One Bites The Dust. Still played on it. Freddie hated singing some of Brian's songs as they pushed his vocals very far. Still sang on them. Alan hated the song but rightfully took his royalties from it. He played on it. He may have hated it but, at the end of the day, it was his job. Whether he was lied to in regards it was for Francis' solo album or not is irrelevant here. From that point of view, should Roger have refused to play Another One Bites The Dust? A band is very different from a solo artist. It's very easy for a solo artist to rip things up and start again. A band, you're dealing with individuals and egos. And Quo, whether they or us like to admit it or not, were never gonna be big time solo artists. They knew they needed the name the 4 of them built. Hence why Francis came running back and still uses it to this day and why John still uses it Never understood why Roger hates this track considering that his track "Fun It" from the 1978 album Jazz, sounds very much like AOBTD. I think Roger hates Hot Space much more with tracks like "Body Language", "Backchat" and "Cool Cat". |
