The one thing I know is we differ in opinion and always will. Status Quo is now FR, RP (out due to ill health) JE, LC and AB. I know a lot on here won't accept anything other than the FF and that's fine but one thing is for sure I ain't in no Porter gang Don't try justify following this crap by saying Status Quo is FR and RP. This is 100% FR quo and if your happy with that then fine, it's not Status Quo........... Real Quo fans accept no substitutes.!! Is that your rule or a general one? I have been a fan since 1973, seen the band numerous times and have most records, I must be somewhere in the REAL fan category . Despite what you think and say it is Status Quo albeit minus Rick (due to ill health) Fact!

It's not Status Quo ffs JC may as well call his band Status Quo then or any of the tributes If you enjoyed it, great. All power to you. Life is too short but don't try insult people's intelligence by saying it's Status Quo.

Life is too short but don't try insult people's intelligence by saying it's Status Quo. Like I said we will never agree. Just as a matter of interest who is Status Quo then? Status Quo are Francis, Rick, Alan and John. Why? Not only because they made the sound and made the band what it is but, it's the songs they wrote and crafted that future line ups made their money and fame off. Now, having said all that, I can accept the fact that Rick and Francis are seen and are known as Status Quo. They wrote and contributed as much as Alan and John and are the face of the band. I can also accept Andy being there. Take one of Francis or Rick away and replace them with someone who looks like Harry Kane and it ain't Status Quo. I don't give a toss what anyone says, those gigs should have been cancelled. No promoter is going to over look Rick's past health issues when it comes to insurance for a tour or gig. It's just greed from the band and managment! Pure and simple Case in point. Noel Gallagher may have wrote the songs for Oasis but, live, he wasn't exactly important and certainly nowhere near as important as Rick is for Quo.....When Noel got injured on their last tour, he could have easily been replaced for a few shows. The band done the right thing and cancelled the dates in Canada and America

Pass the Werther's Original. Cletus being a twat again. What kind of fans would tolerate this? Oh yeah... "Accept no Substitute". How ironic.

The band done the right thing and cancelled the dates in Canada and America I'm not arguing about the gigs, if possible they should have cancelled. Our opinions differ about who we think Status Quo are. I don't deny that the Pre 1986 line up wrote the classic tracks and I don't deny the current band live off the back of that. But line ups change in many different bands and the name continues regardless.

Concentrating on audiences for a moment, compare the above with this (not the best quality, but it highlights what a Quo crowd can and should be like).

Yeah, who'd want to play to that lot when they could be playing to audiences in pac a macs sitting in deck chairs sipping Ovaltine from thermos flasks?

In this Scarborough and Swedish footage Rossi is coming across in my opinion as a one man band and, although it grates with me to say it, he is doing a mighty fine job.
He seems fired up and playing with a real free and fluid style which at times is very interesting and creative even if he also looks bored and going through the motions a lot of the time. Would not however still go to see this band if you paid me, but it is interesting nevertheless.
His support band of session musicians is not however up to the same standard or any where close. They are irrelevant and might as well not be there.
Rossi is wasted in this covers band!
