Well,well,well...as some of you have said no surprises really..bit disappointing in part.
He really does not want to be a rocker does he ?... Despite the fact he seemed in his element playing those solos in the FF reunions.
I would love to get Rick's take on all of this.
Would have a feeling if Rick was in better health he would be saying he would not want to get back to Aquostic, Bula and the pending Rock The Boat.
I don't reckon he fancies any of it deep down even if he was in great health.. none of my business.
Rick FF 2014 ..Caroline..full denim..sweating and giving his all..take a look..no words needed...just watch him kick it off and then wander over to JC at the drums.
Peace and love to all.

So he loves his ipad and the internet. Maybe he is Swisscheese... Hey, you know that was my theory!! Just read this thread after spending all evening on and off on the other thread. Depressing reading the whole interview.....

I sometimes think that it wasn't just his septum that fell out - it was his brain as well. I'm sure that the actor who has played Ken Barlow in Corrie for nearly 60 years,quite fancied a pop at Hamlet or experimental theatre but he had the common sense to realise his limitations and be thankful for regular work and the comfortable living that it brought. Francis,you will never write convincing country rock and neither will you be Jeff Lynne,so just accept that you are the bloke from Status Quo whose songs all sound the same and have the same three chords in every tune.

That Facebook comment "the shoe you polish the most will kick you" or st along those lines may well have been directed at Francis.

Francis has a new album to sell so this is just a bit more PR to keep people talking about Quo. Whether we agree with what he says or not the interview has done its job.Hes in show business after all. Still can't see this album flying off the shelves though Cheers

Sadly Rick has lots of previous. When it comes down to it he follows what he perceives to be the money. Whether it's '86, cover albums, stupid stunts, Bula Quo, Coles etc etc.

Saying the same things over and over is just boring...

I think it was made by RPJ not long after his father's latest heart attack. It seemed to me that it was deliberately ambiguous so it could be completely unconnected. On the other hand, it would fit in with the argument Rick apparently had with Porter in the hospital and all the shows going ahead with stand-ins.

What could be more macho than those big bushy moustaches and tight trousers! That pic isn't macho - its retro rugged.
Even "rock intellectuals" Pink Floyd band members looked a bit like that at the start of the 70's. Its a good rock guy look- very mid western dusty streets and saloon bar Ok, maybe apart from Ricks trousers.
The FF boys all look just as great as they sounded there
Looking at Francis in that pic - its hard to believe its the same guy as this grumpy, tactless and obdurate old man...

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. They won't promote the Classic Rock interview. Too negative and hard-hitting for them. Francis is a nice man after all. They always do their best to shy away from the rock world. However, the cheeky chappie routine they lap up. Wonder how they got that exclusive play on Radio 2? Oh...
