I actually had to re-register to the forum to comment on this I felt so disappointed reading it.
But now it comes down to it, I am lost for words.
How can he dismiss the band, the songs, the fans and the success that has made him who he is as something he would rather have not done?
He really isn't a nice bloke.
I wish AL, RP & JC would go out and prove him wrong & let him get on with whatever he wished he'd been doing for the last 40 years.

He's sounding like Ritchie Blackmore, he much prefers the music he is now making and though he has done some electric shows recently. He turned his back on what made him famous and played the music he wanted to all along.

While his comments and opinions are disappointing.. I have to be honest, I've reached a point where I'm just not that bothered about it any more.
Nothing he said particularly surprised me. He's basically just confirmed what we all suspected.
I'm left with great memories of 2013 and 2014. I'd have loved for that to be prolonged a little further.. Maybe an album. Maybe another gig to look forward to.
But that's not gonna happen. So that's that.
I'm away to make a cup of tea and watch a film.

Agree it's disappointing but this interview is pretty much a rehash of the usual pish he comes out with....
Insecure little show off... Would be selling ice cream if he was not a musician...... Not afraid to admit he likes money and needs more to maintain his lifestyle... Doesn't like FF or the music it made and prefers lighter weight stuff.... The drug years were bad......etc etc......yawn, yawn
Nothing new, disappointing but also a complete bore to read.

"I’m excited by the prospect of what might or might not happen next."
I would expect the latter mate as you seemed determined to flush the band down the sh*tter.
Look, I can't take this too seriously, we all know he has talked increasing amounts of bollox in the past few years and my way of processing this, is 'this' is what FR has become, as opposed to taking away what he was. I just don't buy the whole 'Kenneth Williams' style regret at how he prostituted his art, he might feel like that now as Mr Mellow acoustic, but in the glory days he was having an absolute blast and he was that man we saw (and loved) I am convinced of it -just look through the old pictures, listen to the old interviews - that authenticity doesn't get lessened by these silly latter day ramblings for me. One moment "it's like putting on an old shoe", then, nah "don't like it" (Andy: Little Britain).

I see that Quo are not promoting this on their fb page. But we can hear the new single from A2 on R2 on Weds on the ZB show.
