I for one am not comfortable with Rick missing and my gigging days are probably over if he doesn't return. However I am not one for knocking the way things have gone either, Ricks condition could not have been for seen and like i said it's what it is now at the moment or nothing at all. I enjoy some of what they are doing , but not all, one thing I could have called though is that on here they were mainly going to get slaughtered. I am quite surprised they didn't get slaughtered at the gig. Why would they? the people that are at the gig are there because they wanted to be

Well... I never thought I'd have this reaction - have I gone over to the dark side? No, you are already over here.

Shall we ring him up and ask him to look a bit more miserable? No but, we could ring him up and ask him to wear a blonde wig and double denim, so you and others are more comfortable to call him Rick And before anyone says anything, the things some "fans" are saying, that's the way it's heading.

I didnt say the actual one off concert didn't make money but the tour. And yes I get that at times they have to take risks..but they didn't set out to lose money...the demand was way below what they had hoped for...and now we have them, not being able to sell 700 tickets. They are flogging a dead horse...and let's not forget that they are about to take even more degrading steps by taking this once great rock band on a tour ship...All so that they can continue to flog this dead horse... Nothing wrong with a Cruise ship performing. Afterall Alan did ! Let's blame AL for giving FR the idea.

Wake up yourself, it looked full enough to me and didn't you bang on about having to cancel it Your passion for CQ to fail has to be commended tho. AQ1 charted far longer than you said it would, and touring it is tough, small venues and a lot of musicians to pay, but yet they still want to do AQ2? A big seller so why didn't it translate into ticket sales. Small seated venues compared with their usual half hall arenas. But ticket sales were less than stella. The band lost money. Will they tour it again ? Or do set piece shows? Don't get me wrong it's not really my cup of tea but let's face facts, they aren't fit enough for FF or CQ electric tours anymore, hence stopping after winter. What's the answer, get Rick fit enough to do a sit down acoustic or retire? Rossi cant be ready yet and what we get is what we get enjoy it or don't enjoy it. But like I said decline or not, most bands would have disappeared long before now and CQ ( i know we need RP back quick) are still around.

You've been saying for years and years that Quo are on the decline and let's face it no matter what happens from now, it doesn't really matter, they have done all they need to do and could finish tomorrow anyway. Acoustic 1 was going to fail in the charts, the Radio two gig wouldn't sell out, etc etc The radio 2 gig didn't sell out, they were practically giving the tickets away, apisstic 1 was a financial failure and now they can't sell 700 tickets, wake up Wake up yourself, it looked full enough to me and didn't you bang on about having to cancel it Your passion for CQ to fail has to be commended tho.

Acoustic 1 was going to fail in the charts, the Radio two gig wouldn't sell out, etc etc But they have been in decline for years. This gig should not happen. No Rick No Quo. Even so, the live shows still sell very well in general, the first Acoustic charted very well also. If it didn't pay they wouldn't still do it. Decline of not, it's not too bad after over 50 years, most anybody else would be long gone. Your right though I would say Rick has to be there, however when they kicked of AQ2 at the beginning who could have known what was going to happen.

Don't think I was suggesting he didn't care, merely making a point if you re-read what I put, showing the difference between the two bands and why one is called status Quo and the other one isn't. You could have done that without the comment about John. I think it's silly to suggest they aren't Status Quo. But these days it is just in name only as they have lost their soul that made them great. Can't argue with any of that. We are very lucky that all the FF are still around and that gave us a chance for the two superb tours they did, but all I was saying previously is why Francis can call his band Status Quo and JC cannot.

The difference is Francis and Rick kept the rights when they won the case to keep the name Status Quo where as JC has thrown some guys together and are a tribute band. These are the facts despite peoples preferences. Rather disrespectful to say John threw his band together. Suggesting he didn't care who was in the band. So did Rhino get 'thrown' in to Status Quo.

Alan, Rick and John won't be at Union Chapel, as you know. The band is not the Frantic Four, nor is it pretending to be. It's current Quo or, as I prefer to call them, Status Quo. I did see John perform on Sunday afternoon at his local pub in Shilton, Oxfordshire, though... No, the band is not Status Quo. One original member (Francis) vs John, who you seen perform. Which one is Quo? What's the difference? Both bands, playing Quo music, with one original member. What's the difference? Both cover bands, both tribute bands. At least with Rick it retained an element of Quo The difference is Francis and Rick kept the rights when they won the case to keep the name Status Quo where as JC has thrown some guys together and are a tribute band. These are the facts despite peoples preferences.

You always go on about the decline but the gigs I go to are still selling well. Aquostic gig on radio 2 sold, albeit a bit slow, but still full. Francis said the Aquostic tour lost money. So why is that their future ? I believe their clientele are 'more selective'. They are getting too old for electric gigs i reckon, so it's probably acoustic or nothing. Too many members to pay as well imo.
