I'll enjoy Quo and Uriah Heep, even if others think I shouldn't! Why would you give a fuck about what others think you should or shouldn't do? |

It's not fucking Quo!!! Jesus Christ, get it through your head!!! Go and watch a mediocre rhythm guitarist, a shite drummer, half arsed singing, an out of tune singing bass player and high in the mix keyboards...."I'll enjoy Quo...." Give it a rest! You're fooling no one! don't worry fw..the geezer will be a casual fan..just gone to hear somat from bula..probley never heard of the ff.. Casual fan? Lol I've been a fan since '77, seen them 57 times and have over 1000 albums on CD, Vinyl etc...been on all the Quo forums since 2002 under different names. Seen Quo and Judas Priest in Dublin in 1979, seen gigs all over Ireland North & South, UK quite a few times and Isle Of Man in 1992, I don't give a fuck about people like you say, I love all line ups but some more than others. Where the fuck were you moaners when Heavy Traffic came out, an album which for the record I don't rate at all, you all claimed it was like 70's Quo, was it fuck. It was Rockin' All Over The World and Rossi's voice that made me a fan when the single came out, I was too young to even know their names and whilst I will agree that the 70's albums are the best, I wasn't going to Quo gigs then as an adult or teenager, Antrim Forum gigs in 1982 were my first gigs as a teenager. Quo were fucking excellent last night, as were Uriah Heep, so as long as I enjoyed it, it doesn't really matter what you think. |

I didn't come on to wind anyone up, you forget Stevie I've known you since 1986 when I met you at Maysfield and you got me a lift home, I just think that you are a fucking hypocrite with your anti-Rossi statements and yet still go to the gigs. I even heard last night that you and Kenny had meet & greets with Quo yesterday or was that another spoof? |

I'll enjoy Quo and Uriah Heep, even if others think I shouldn't! Why would you give a fuck about what others think you should or shouldn't do? Where did I say I did or didn't in my original post? I was merely posting to say that I would enjoy it even if Stevie (derryquo) thinks I shouldn't, it was not a wind up at all. I didn't see anyone else mention Belfast so I started my own thread about it, or is this a total Frantic Four only board? I don't see anyone slagging anything before Ma Kelly's when the 60's music is not my thing at all, just because Alan & John played on Ice In The Sun doesn't mean it's good does it? Too many people on here and elsewhere who have the same argument every single day, "it's not Quo it's a Rossi solo project!","it's not Quo if Alan & John aren't there!", "I'm getting a refund because Rick's not there!" Same shit different day, have the people saying this not got partners to have sex with, have jobs to go to, have games consoles to play, anything to keep them occupied from posting the same pish everyday.
I'm not arsed in the slightest if people think that the band are that bad that they can't go anymore, that's an opinion, where I draw the line is when people harass, name call and try to bully people because they still enjoy Quo's music even if it doesn't sound like Piledriver.
I'm big enough and ugly enough to take a good slagging when it's merited, but to be called a casual fan for still going to see Rossi and co., and to be told that if I was a "REAL FAN" that I shouldn't like anything after 1981 is absolutely ludicrous.
I don't like some stuff from 1982 onwards but I don't post about it on boards, I used to til I wised up, more important things in life to argue about.
The weird thing is, I know for a fact that there are quite a few on here and elsewhere who only got into Quo after 1981, but now slag everything from that period onwards, what's that all about?
I rarely post on any Quo related forums anymore cos it's just endless Rossi bashing and I can't be bothered with it, I just read the topics of any interest but there very rarely is any, just the same stuff I used to read on the old Quo board.

It obviously bothers you enough that you have come on here. The rossi bashing is completely justified IMO as he has almost single handedly tarnished the bands legacy by the direction he took them in. That and a management completely out of touch with the fans all Porter wants to do is come up with the next gimmick just like Dave Walker before him. And rossi goes along with it. Ok he wants to make money but did you see led zeppelin appearing on coronation street,making SHITE movies,getting their old boys out for the camera to sell a few more albums ? it all comes down to rossi and his henchman Simon Porter who have destroyed this band Cheers |

Don't know where anyone said you were not a "REAL FAN" for liking post 1981 stuff but some one did think that your comments were from a 'casual fan'. This is natural as there are many people winding things up, also some registering and making a few comments that outline how Acoustic 2 is the best thing ever recorded and that the new line up has improved since 'Ritchie' has taken over etc., and then not posting again, which all seems a bit suspicious and hence why people see it as a wind up. No one has said that you are not entitled to your view that what you love and attended last night is 'Status Quo' but many also believe that it is not Status Quo but a band centred around one founding member of Status Quo playing Status Quo songs who actually dislikes this music and 'nostalgia' but has to play it to survive and finds people , who I personally consider as gullible, willing to go along with the travesty and mis-selling/representation, but that is their choice and prerogative. To each their own. Good luck to you. Enjoy your concerts. For myself to watch this band would be painful and something I would not even contemplate as I think they are musically, and all other ways, a joke, but I respect your right to differ and to get enjoyment from following them on this tour. It sounds mad and obsessive to be honest but you must think that it is worth it and fair play to you. |

Great rant - what were you like before you "wised up"? As for your actual response to my query, your original post said it: "I'll enjoy Quo and Uriah Heep, even if others think I shouldn't! " Clearly a statement of intent to enjoy the gig despite what anybody else thinks - if you didn't give a fuck, you wouldn't mention it. Perhaps you should re-read your comments before you post, just to double-check you actually understand what you're saying. By the same token I could ask you where in my post I'd indicated that I thought your post was a wind-up, or that you shouldn't start a thread about the Belfast gig. I agree with you about the '60s stuff, most of it is quite mediocre sub-pop, imo - although I've always liked When My Mind Is Not Live. Why are you arsed about people posting the same shite all the time? Why are you drawing "lines" - what are you going to do when people cross your imaginary lines? You know what they say: opinions are like arseholes, everybody's got one & everybody else's stinks! Glad you enjoyed the gig. |

I honestly think that the calibre of the band members musically is pretty fucking good..they're no mugs and know how to put on a show.Rossi is a superb guitar player as a lead and a fcuking brilliant rhythm player..go to see Rossi if anything.When it finally all ends they'll be a big reappraisal of this band and how good they were.

Why do fans of this line up get all defensive? It's a head scratcher.
But yeah, the reason no one dared bad mouth Quo between 2002 and 2004 was purely because the product, output and live gigs were fucking excellent.
BTW, it wasn't Quo who were excellent last night. They split up in 2014. It was Rossi and friends

A shit drummer 2. An average rhythm guitarist 3. A half arsed singer 4. A brainless bass player, who sings out of tune 5. A keyboard player, too high in the mix 6. No changes to the set 7. No rehearsals 8. Going through the motions 9. Rushing to the end of the gig 10. On occasion, we have the smug substitute, arrogantly looking down his nose at the audience Believe me, I can understand why my enjoyment of the gigs has diminished and it has been diminishing, quite rapidly, since 2011. Only the FF saved me from falling out of love with Quo |

I also suspect that for this last tour and having to cope with a new member, they tackled some of those problems on your list. Hence some fans enjoyment. |

Andy and Rhino continue to sing out of tune, there are no changes to the set and the lack of power and dynamics, due to Rick's absence, is astonishing. What eats me up inside is it felt like a proper band between 2002 and 2007. It's a piss take now sadly and I say that with a heavy heart |
