OK, first of all, let me set the record straight. There is no substitute for Rick. The man is and always will be a legend. That's the disclaimer out of the way  Now, to the gig last night; I thought it and the band were outstanding. Really, really good. Flying in fact. Richie, of course, did his bit and did it very well. He also didn't look out of place. Rick's vocal parts were shared by Andy and Rhino but one or two songs were conspicuous by their absence like Rain and Big Fat Mama. As I'm a little tired of the latter in particular I wasn't that bothered. I won't do a whole set list/gig report because that'd be boring but suffice to say - and the bottom line really - is that me and mine had an absolute blast. I went in with some trepidation and came out uplifted by this marvellous, bloody band. If there's any other reason for going I'm afraid it's lost on this poor old soul. I really do hope Rick comes back but if he's unable to, the band is in safe hands until it packs up at the end of the year. Probably making a tidy little sum for Mr Parfitt as he recuperates. Now, I need to put my feet up. I'm in agony. I really need to be in traction. |

More acceptance from so called fans of this tribute band and exactly why the band are going to try and pull of the final tour without offering a refund. ..when they already know rick won't be there..
Fucking hell, quo fans enjoying a quo gig without rick...who would have thought it

More acceptance from so called fans.... Point missed. Again. Although I can see yours for me it's not entirely about personnel; it's about enjoyment (for me) in difficult circumstances (for them). I've been called a "so called" fan before. I seem to be able to get over it. I might even get a t-shirt made  |

Always found I suited that sort of minimalist fashion statement. Oh, and better make it large. My medium days are long behind me. |

Get a fucking life. We KNOW you don't like current Quo. Move on. Rockon everyone else. Wilquo Rhino's been in the band so long because he's a lapdog. Look at the state of him. He appeals merely to the deranged. Alan spoke up about the direction the band was going in and one person in particular took a hissy fit. Rossi spent the best part of 13 years coming up with dull, twee Everly Brothers rip-offs that weren't good enough to be released, and when they did, they flopped. 13 years of complete, utter b******t from David Walker, who nobody answered to - Rhino certainly didn't do anything - which ruined the band, and throughout it all, I'll bet there were "fans" who sleverred at the mouth, "Leave the band alone", "Walker knows what he's doing", "They don't have long to go anyway". 20+ years on and we're stuck in the same situation with the idiots having got what they wanted, rejoicing at the fact that two pensioners have taken their clothes off to promote an album. |
