I'm trying not to sound too negative but I just can't watch this anymore without a very uncomfortable feeling.
They now hit the biggest of drums for this mega release next month,but I don't know.
Pleasant enough for those who still thinks it Status Quo,the masters of boogie rock,but to me it's Francis Rossi and friends nowadays.
Aquostic or electric or wtf....

Sadly so. Its not Quo to me . Rossi somehow manages to look out of place in his own band nowadays ....or is that just me ?

Sad and sick...refuse to even open the link.
If this awful band ever comes on TV it will be a swift change of channel. Don't want to see them or know anything about them in their ongoing massacre of the Quo reputation and credibility...
---as 'CQ' over the last 30 years they were a half hearted band, a watered down version of the Frantic Four with a vital engine room and creative spark missing, but they have gone completely beyond the pale now. Just a wreck sitting in a scrap yard, a shameful shambles. Rossi who states he does not want nostalgia has spent 30+ years ripping the **** out of the Quo nostalgia as an 'insecure little show off'.
He is devoid of any new original musical ideas but deluded that he can do better than what he was able to create with the collaboration of Rick, Alan and John, without whom he has not been able to produce to anywhere near the same standard. Puts his whole persona and ego in perspective.
A thing that has always intrigued me is why he never writes songs on his own. Starting to think that he does not and that it is the other partners who are really writing the material presented as 'Rossi and another'.
Rossi's Quo must now rank well down in the listings of Quo covers bands. What a fall for the once mighty.

Not just that the hate and disgust others in the music biz at the whole saga of the band now after Rick's Passing and how Rossi presented himself and the things he said during the last reunion tour and on the Dublin Documentary dvd. You can tell how eager Rick is to do more and Rossi just slams the whole thing not interested doesn't see the point etc
What is being presented as "Status Quo" is a joke and a con i mean its so far from what SQ and what they were once like the reunions proved that. Yet the management are blind to it and are massaging Rossi's ego to do what he wants. Funny how he has not played none of his solo songs yet to "change" the setlist yet has the nerve to play Rick's song yet does not mention him at any gigs or pay respect to him at shows.
Thing is though they can only go on for so long before people eventually stop seeing this farce of Francis Rossi Karaoke Quo and realize its a farce and not genuine just from that trailer alone its all fake smiles winks o polished stage antics etc
Alan and John must be fuming with Rossi well we all know John has no time for Rossi the way he has ruined Quo's name and brand with his ego bashing and ignorance for the name and fans. Rick always thought of the fans he always said it in interviews so did Alan yet we all know Rossi always got his own way.

Just a wreck sitting in a scrap yard, a shameful shambles. Ha, if it was a wreck it might at least be interesting  Problem for me is it's the opposite, it's so slick, so devoid of passion, personality or artistic merit. The Quo experience has been 'normalized', become glossy, manufactured to an almost condescending level of self-parody for your Daytime/Saturday night telly addicts. A brand indeed, the epitomy of everything they weren't. And now even the faces in the band are looking bland and unrecognizable. But hey, as long as lots of people are still enjoying it (£££££££££££££££)... |

Best mate, who pushes you into becoming a lead guitarist, who pushes you into writing songs, who pushes you into singing (All this by Rossi's own admission) get's stabbed in the back...
Now Rick has sadly passed...According to Rossi, the band is much better, has a different edge and has the kick up the arse it needed....
How anyone can still defend him is beyond me
Very sad to see...

Fantastic stuff.This shows up the Frantic Four as the tired old toss pots they had become.The injection of youth has resurrected the band and Malone is far superior in every way and Cave actually keeps up with the others without being injected with baboon adrenal gland serum.I will buy every version of this magnificent work that finally lays to rest the over hyped and ordinary shows from Glasgow in 76.Rossi's playing is stirringly magnificent and better than Rory Gallagher at his peak and best of all the amount of white sock action makes for a pulsating evenings viewing.
All the best
Derry Quo.

A thing that has always intrigued me is why he never writes songs on his own. Starting to think that he does not and that it is the other partners who are really writing the material presented as 'Rossi and another'. He was asked about this in an interview not long ago. He said that sometimes he does write stuff himself, sometimes Bob does or sometimes Bernard (Frost) did, but because they have a writing partnership they use both their names on the credits. Lennon and McCartney did the same. I don't think they were writing much together by the end of the Beatles. |

I'm not interested at all in this constellation of Quo if you can call it Quo. If Rossi wants to continue this might be the only way, and obviously after all these years he has the right to do so (this time, it was wrong in the 80's but that might be prescribed now). For those who are not familiar with the members of the band and just want to hear some classics they have heard 30 or 40 years ago this might still work. But as I said, I'm not really interested and this is not Quo to me.
