Don't have a problem with vast majority of his views. It may seem out of order for him to say what he says about Alan, but it was Mr L who was in the press in 86 calling Rhino and Jeff "a pair of ballerinas". Reckon I'd feel entitled to speak as I find if I was Rhino. It seems he did have a hand in helping the reunions happen, and if that's the case then thank you Mr Edwards! It was magic for me. I don't think he's bitter, but I think there are things that have bothered him a lot, and it seem's he's read some things online that were hard for him to take. Not sure he's been able to keep that in perspective. Like I've said before, Rick saying he preferred the FF and wanted to continue with it will likely have been hurtful to the other members of CQ. Wonder how Andy felt? Only comment I didn't really like was about John - that did seem uncalled for
I think the bit about spud is a Rhino joke in the Quo You Just Had To Be There mould.
I think he should tread a bit more lightly on the Alan situation though. I may be a Francis follower, but Alan made Quo as much as anyone and more than most, and he had his life-work pulled from under him with almost no warning. You might move on in the sense of doing something else, but it's not something you forget. It affected his family and everything he did. I'm not particularly surprised that he still has anger.

I didn't say I agreed with what he said, 4th. Just that he was winding you guys up - which he appears to have done. Odd way of treating people with a lack of respect. The people who have helped pay for his house, car and way of life. Yes. I'm a Rhino supporter, but he sounds here as if he's trotting out an official version, and he doesn't need to.

Baroque ... I'm now struggling with my ignorance. Come in, Wikipedia. "the music lacked coherent melody, was filled with unremitting dissonances, constantly changed key and meter, and speedily ran through every compositional device." OK that was just one critic's view. Are we sure he didn't come in during tuning up by mistake?
Or did he say Bar Rock?
And can anyone remind me when Rick played as fast as Johnny Ramone? I'm not saying he should, Rick was Rick and Johnny was Johnny ... I love them both. I'm just mildly puzzled.
Anyway I'm glad he had a nice time. He must have gone downstairs the same night as me (and been late like me), I recognise the "Only two steps into the crowd".
If we live long enough, who knows! It might become cool to think Quo are cool, as long as not too many people agree. You heard it here first!

I can't see any sign of this on the Caberet site??..How are they going to explain this PR disaster? Doesn't anybody vet these interviews before they're published? Unbelievable. FTMO posted it on their FB page... Of course they did

What a low class human being. No wonder the current lineup sucks so bad.

headless just like his bass a complete and utter disrespectful moron. He got a lucky break in the 80's with Quo Alan has every right to still be angry about some pompous pretentious self obsessed 80's session musician taking his place in the band he formed and made what it was before some twat called Rhino appeared on the scene.

Good honest little interview.The guy has certainly worked hard to get where he is today.I always got the impression that he and Rick were good pals,they did write some decent tunes between them.What he says about him at the reunion gigs is testament to that. He is allowed his opinion,what he said about John was personal and a dum move,but in terms of his view on possible new materail,I have no problem with that,that's just his say.I happen to agree with him somewhat.
Also,if he really didn't care about the reaction of message boards,he wouldn't have even mentioned them...cheeky. Peace

Good honest little interview.The guy has certainly worked hard to get where he is today. No-one can deny him that, but to come out with the stuff he has is shocking. It says it all about his mentality when he resorts to talk about wanking, eating shit etc. He seems to have a vulgar mind. Perhaps that's why he gets on so well with Francis? What did he hope to achieve with the interview? Then again, the two-year-old potty minds of CQ fans will find it hilarious, as evidenced by 111's comments.

I was there and it was all over the place. He also said the atmosphere and reaction of the crowd was fantastic - last time I checked that's a compliment.
