What else is Ricky Jnr gonna say? Of course it's not the same. It's like the Stones without Keith. You can get a lot of people to learn his parts, but it still isn't the same.
I have no issues with Rossi continuing and guys like Rhino and Andy have long earned their Quo shoulder pieces in my book, but Rick is irreplaceable, he was their engine room.

Perhaps it's true that it's only ever been the Rossi and Rick show.

Thing is, they had become set in their ways and Francis and Rick didn't have a great relationship in those last few years. Francis' lead playing massively improved again with Richie in the band.
I miss Rick's presence as the second frontman and vocalist, but that doesn't mean the new version is without merit.

Perhaps it's true that it's only ever been the Rossi and Rick show. Every original member leaving gnawed away at their original 70ies heyday sound. But that is not to say that Francis had no influence himself or that Andy and Rhino haven't shaped the band over time as well. Yeah, to me Status Quo today is still Status Quo, just with a lot more Rossi content. That said, he hasn't restructured the set to simply accomodate his songs; Rick's songwriting influence hasn't been purged.
