Is it me or does Rick Parfitt rpj band try to outshine what current quo are doing? To me he seems to try very hard to try and prove he’s a major band( rockstar). However to me he will never outshine current quo by living on his dad’s status. He’s not bad but come on let’s put things into the perspective as we know he has a gripe with Rossi.

I don’t think so. RPJ does his thing & Rossi’s Quo do there’s. No comparison.

Having seen his setlist it's wall to wall obvious mainstream covers that you can see in any number of boozers on any given weekend. I'm sure he probably does it well but really, aren't people sick of Mr Brightside, Chelsea Dagger, Summer of 69 nd the rest?

I've only ever seen RPJ perform once and he was supporting Quo. Cannock Chase a few years back I think. He was entertaining enough and has a good voice and stage presence. He also released a single around that time; a cover of Sowing the Seeds of Love and it was good. A more than decent cover. Never destined to be a hit though. That ship had sailed really, even by then. But, yeah, I liked this

what's he doing to "try and prove he’s a major band( rockstar)"? I only ever hear of him via this site, & then only really in the aftermath of his father's death

I think it's mainly corporate type events he does, hence the 'crowd pleasers'.

I think he's just doing the same thing as a lot of covers bands, blues bands. No sign he's trying to be "like" current Quo (or any other Quo). As 4th says, he gets corporate gigs, which is probably where the family connection comes in. He's hardly doing the arena circuit!

So this is doing the rounds on Reddit. Suggestions that this was a setup blah blah blah but that the kid is the singers nephew... This would likely make him Rick's Grandson and I guess Harry's son?

From being in a band when I was younger, if the vocalist had said "my guitarist" or "my drummer", or my case, "my bassist" he would have got a punch in the mouth.
