In My Chair (1970)

[austpom333]

Yep should have been a hit 

[underkyper]

A truly great song, but poorly mixed. I can hardly hear John on the drums.

[troikagirl]

A bit like "Canned Heat"

[Joshua12345]

And Mike / Frank still has his critics. (I think he was still Mike at this time). But I think he's a great guitarist, then and now.

[TheVoiVoda]

I still don't understand how Americans never figure out such a good band!

Love Quo last 40 yeras and forever...

[MacFarlane92]

loving the beard

[greshamweed]

Living in the states all my life I have never heard these guys (except pictures of matchstick men) until today. Jesus Christ!! These guys kick ass! They are my new favorite old band!

[JFredUK]

@greshamweed You've got a fair bit of catching up to do, then! Would you believe that they're still going?

[greshamweed]

@JFredUK Yeah, I researched them and not only were they great then but I find their current stuff great as well. Youtube is the best thing that ever happened to me in terms of my musical knowledge.

[Topicarmno]

Supposed this is their tribute to Canned Heat

[seventiesclassic]

Fuck me...where's the other half of the song ??

[IThinkYouLookLarvely]

Francis looks a bit Cobain-esqe. Great song, reminds me a bit of Canned Heat. I think they were fans.

[seventiesclassic]

@IThinkYouLookLarvely

I was thinking of Canned Heat while watching the video...it doesn't sound like them but puts you in mind of them.

[russ9356]

their best period of music for that band pity they dont try and go back to that style

[PeckhamExile]

Pwoppa quo!

[alienintoxication09]

check out (status quo a reason for living)

i quit playing the guitar, cuz you all played me,

what am i without you,,,,,huuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmm. free?

[nwleeuw]

best rockin' blues song i ever heard, good work Status Quo !!

[QuoTime]

That is one hell of a compliment!

[arthurreijgers]

@nwleeuw  I second that!!!

[bryemycaz]

Is number 21 with no radio play really a flop?

[QuoTime]

I suppose it depends which way you look at it. Given that the band were hitting the top five soon thereafter, I think 'In My Chair' was, comparatively speaking, a bit of a flop. But when you consider that the song received no air-play, it did rather well. Regardless, 'In My Chair' is a Quo classic!

[gilljoy]

@QuoTime spot on dude!

[atimbrown]

Classic!!!!

[Islwynpaul]

Great groove, great riff, great look and a great time to love the Quo. Wow was we fortunate to be there in the late 60's to mid 70's. A fine time to be into Rock, the peak of freak.

[peakhouse]

the men in their helmets said whats that you're using...heavy song .Top Boys. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[stblacklock]

I'll have what Frame's having

[carlosdeno]

[carolineJ4]

[ozzierocker]

Classic blues song. Still love it after 32 years!!

[Theniteride]

is it me or does franci look high on something?

[wellsrams]

OOh Man!!! Yeah!!

[mpurves98]

still one of the best guitar riffs ever (IMHO)

[fiutare]

its my status quo fav! absolutely cool!

[jomtiem]

OMG is that KURT COBAIN LOL

[breffnipark]

They looked the biz !! and sounded brill !

They were ahead of the field in many ways !

Their best stuff was from 1970 to 1972/73 .

When to changed to 3 chords or 12 bar blues they had awsome success ... but earlier stuff was much better !

[breffnipark]

Excellent track !

Quo's best music was from 1970 to 1972/73 !

[onyerbikeray]

this is 1 of the times that rossi has really chilled out and said :wat razor?:

[gilljoy]

CLASS!!!

[STataw]

I wouldn't call fourteen weeks in the charts a massive flop.

[QuoTime]

Yes...I suppose "massive flop" is an exaggeration..."flop" would've been a better description given that it didn't even make the top 20.

[txpommie]

But that's only because the World wasn't ready for the new raw Quo. They stuck to their guns and now this is a classic.

[STataw]

Brilliant
