Hi All, Well if some fans are unhappy with the band maybe we should have 4th split the forum into a few fan genres eh! ? You know like the 'Dear John' video had toilets with a sign on them :- MEN - REAL MEN.....
Muppet Fans! Real Fans! Fans of the band full stop!
If your a fan of the band your a fan of the band it's really that simple, forumites who like myself prefer FF but accept the band has moved on in it's many incarnations, FF only fans,CQ fans only etc.etc.etc. and don't forget we only have these incarnations simply because of contractual obligations after the split with Alan.
we are all on the same forum for the single reason of we like the band no matter what era, we just all have differing ideas and opinions on the whole the main opinion of this thread is for wishing Ricks health improves can we all agree ?.....
Geoff. Differing opinions ? All fine. Being passionate ? All fine as well... insulting others cos they have differing opinions ? Childish and totally unnessecary. But I guess it's not just on our Quoforum, mate, I have seen the same on many other bands and artist sites. Hi All, Victor, So true...
Geoff.

So to sum up the contributions on this thread: Following Rick's HEART ATTACK that could have KILLED HIM he is having an extended recouperation time to ensure he is fighting fit to RETURN to the stage. Many many Quo fans on message boards and Facebook are wishing him well with his recovery and looking forward to his return. Some 'REAL FANS' on here are moaning on about getting REFUNDS on their tickets for gigs in SIX MONTHS time! Un Fucking Believable You left out the summary that muppet fans are intrigued by Freddie and richie standing in for rick and agree the show must go on.. Un fucking believable

The main priority for me is that Rick gets better.....if that means he never tours again so be it.
As he is the only reason I go and see Quo means I will have a very big decision to make come December if he decides to call it a day.
All being well he can come back into the band for the winter tour but if not I will worry about going or not going or refunds closer to the time.

My big dilemma is that we are on holiday seeing my sister and family in Switzerland in August and they have bought us tickets (ie as a gift) to see Quo at a gig in Erlach very close to where they live (and being Switzerland the tickets cost a small fortune). Given how strongly I feel about this farce how can I go !!! Foreigner on the bill too so might watch them and then go for a wander (via the bar) and accidently miss Quo. However, I believe Foreigner are an even bigger sham line up wise !? Either that or I will get so drunk that I don't remember any of the gig the next day (did that once at a Motörhead gig at Brixton Academy, when they were in their prime, regretted it ever since !). Got a ticket for Ingliston too but won't be going (refund or not). One thing is for sure, IF Rick does return for the winter tour he will get some welcome back !!!! Just go. You can get good quality earplugs.

Hi All, TLF, Can you envision Francis doing a U-turn if his plans for life after the LNOTE gigs goes belly up with no interest or is it as some suggest just another gimmick ?
Geoff.
Difficult to say I suppose. I know he digs his heels in, he did that in 1984. Then U turned in 1986. He was younger then, but what the hell, he is just a sailor on the sea of life, he will do whatever he thinks he needs to. We've all had so many good times with Quo, now the end is becoming ricketty (npi) and indignation follows. I don't get how being a fan is somehow a Scout's Badge of Honour, how some people seem to think, at least not among anyone who's left the parental home. (It was different when you were arguing with your mum and dad.) If people find that what is there now is something they can't bear, please, just walk away. Demand a refund by all means, sue for a refund if that's what they need to do, but no one can control someone else's destiny by any reasonable means. We can love Rick without hating Rossi, fer Pete's sake. Just turn away. PS Lord Flashheart is so right, Rossi reacts ... being slagged off for years by some people has only turned him off, so he cares less about those opinions than he would otherwise. I don't blame him.

I can understand people's feelings about not wanting to go. I would not go myself without either Rick or Francis. And that's it for me. I'm fine though with anyone chosing to go if they want to and I know some will say that that will make me partly responsible for how Quo developed...which is nothing but a bunch of bull. No one but the band and management themselves are responsible for that and the insults of others who do chose to go are totally ridiculous and childish nonsense.

But I'll go and see them - Rick (hopefully) or no Rick - as I have already purchased the tickets, and will not waste good money by staying at home on principle.
