saw them pub south london, black prince bexley, about 72, they were great, about 150 people, they blew the roof off, never a band for big stadiums in my view, everyone to their own, after about 78 they got boring
JUST CLASS' IM FAMOUS AND DIPPED INTO THE DARKSIDE OF ROCK OTHERWISE ID SING IN CHURCH. LOVE IT.GOD WONT KILL US FOR LOVING OUR MUSIC. WHAT MAKES US HAPPY IS THE MAIN THING THATS IT
Its the easy way out for all concerned to be stubborn and not to reunite. It says a lot more about your character if you are willing to set your stubborness aside and to give at the least the people /fans that made you a multi millionaire what they would love to see: the frantic four ,with andy bown of course also there, reunited. Greatest band ever by the way. A unique sound. No match on these guys.
I didn't want to sound harsh, I just said what I heard. And yeah, Quo turned indeed soft in the 80's, but they never abandoned their boogie roots and their music was never ever crap. They wanted to do some different kind of stuff instead of becoming monotonous like AC/DC, for exemple. And Rick and Francis being on coke? I don't believe that. And like it or not, they are the heart of the band and they are the ones who kept the band together, unlike Lancaster who refused to appear in RAOTW video.
@PurpleInTheDeep Have to say, it's well documented and admitted by the guys themselves, Quo were HEAVILY into drugs from the early 70's onwards. Weed till '75, speed from '76 then coke massively from the late 70's till the very early 90's. Weed and Speed bought about their best music lol.
@craggers Wow, being for more than 2 decades on so many drugs? No way, you missed something. Perhaps they were on drugs for a while, but not for such a long while. If they were on drugs like you said, the Quo wasn't still around after all these years.
@craggers I even saw Francis put a handkerchief in his one nosehole and getting it out of his other nosehole on tv to show what coke can do to you haha
@craggers Ok, let's say it's true what you said. But the only thing that matters is that the Quo are still around. They will record a new album in 2011. Can't wait.
@PurpleInTheDeep Another popular misconception, Lancaster never "refused" to appear in the RAOTW video. It was one appearance on Top of the Pops, and he had to fly back to Australia to be with his wife Dayle, who was having a baby. Bear in mind that incident was 1977, Eight years before he left Quo! Also, Lancaster stayed with Quo until the "End of the Road" which was supposed to be it, so you can understand why older fans are loyal to the Frantic Four and not just Rossi/Parfitt.
@jaffax1 I, for one, am loyal to all past and present members of the Quo. And ok, Francis fucked up the band. But why is so overlooked the 5th of the Frantic Four, Andy Bown?
Yeah, the definatly did, I've read their autobio. But the Stones were probably hooked on it for most their lives. Its just really tradition, not a good one, but I don't really care, as long as their brillant like Quo and The Stones.
Pwoppa quo!..and not a 'ponced up barn dance' in sight!...I sort of agree about Lancasters music...but e was also responsible for some of the shit like 'I love rock and Roll'...awful song...and probably their worst up to then...now we are lucky if they manage two stormers per album.
Lancaster was kicking ass, no doubt. Unfortunatly he had to fuck things up with Parfit and Rossi. Not to mention that he was the one who fired Coghlan from the band. Eventually, in 1985, Rossi and Parfit had enough and they got rid of him. The same way Richie Blackmore fucked up with Deep Purple, or Roger Waters with Pink Floyd, like there was some kind of fashion.
@PurpleInTheDeep That's a bit harsh, Nuff left because he didn't like the direction Quo was going. He was a rocker who wanted to play rock, not pop music. Spud left for the same reason, hence his project with Diesel. If anybody fucked up The Quo, it was Rick, Francis, the management and their coke dealer!!
Quo were fucked up by the direction Francis wanted to go in........his need for "speed" and anything else white and his love of country music. Rick didn't have too much input into the split, He was devastated when Francis wanted to call it a day in 84.
Drummers come and go as do bass players and the sound of the band rarely changes to be honest. Anyone think AC/DC sounded shit with Simon Wright on drums instead of Phil Rudd?.....No is the answer. Change the singer and it's a different ball game
@Syze1 Yeah, that's true to a point, but even AC/DC said that their sound lacked something without Phil Rudd. That's why he's back in. Also there is something to be said for chemistry. The Frantic Four had something special, Nuff and Spud added something no-one else can copy. Same for the original Kiss, Saxon, Dr Feelgood etc.
@bunniman1908 spot on bunniman!!! Maybe some Rose Tattoo?? Something to mull over - Quo and Acca Dacca (circa Bon) doin a 'duet'. Shit, I wonder how 'Baby, Please Don't Go' would have sounded?? Woulda been a smash I reckon!!
I lost the hearing in my left ear because I was stupid or smart enough to enjoy this group at a concert in Seattle. I'll say this: I still crank up their stuff. It IS the way it should be played. They never were concerned about impressing anyone. But they did play loud and proud.
@theslice2: Slicey, You're about as Rockin as a dose of Quo - never better than on Rossi's early ORIGINAL 'Pictures Of Matchstick Men' also their ONLY U.S. hit.
@DougPatton1 Slicey ? slicey ? thats no good..... its a bit like putting a y on the end of Idiot..... see what I mean
I take it you mean that Pictures of etc is a good example of how Quo simply do not rock...... well I saw them live last year and there was a lot of people there that would disagree with you.... I personally think their music turned to shit around 1975 but for old fellas they still rock in a light hearted zimmer framey sort of way
I loved Quo back in the day but come pretend that all this is real - listen to the bass from say 3:05 - its over-dubbed and it is in the wrong key. Now that's wrong!! If you are going to over-dub a live recording you have all the time in the world to get it right and don't forget that Quo were relegated to support band on Slade tours - now there was a band that could rrrrrrrrrawk & rrrrrrrroll!!!!
Quo supported Slade in Australia 1973 get your facts right says Slade were booed off stage after following Quo. Any band following Quo at there peak including ZEP ACDC and THE Stones couldn't match QUO 's high energy rock and Roll.
Status Quo is the best! Every year I got to see them in Wembley Arena. wish i could every month! ;P i want to get front row seats, and i think they should make a contest and the person who wins gets 2 front row seats. who was the guy that got thrown of stage in the beginning?
i was on the left top side of the stage. my dad is friends with the boss of the recording company of status quo or something, so we get free tickets, and thats the guest section. i went to see them dec 13th last year. they played on the 14th too?? their songs just never get annoying like most songs now a days..
I saw Quo in 78 in Hannover when I was in the medics working at the military hospital. They were fuckin' awesome. One of the best bands I've ever seen
Greatest band ever in this line up. Classic Quo. Alan gave Qua that rougher edge. Rick is the Best rhythm guitarist ever. Saw them in november in amsterdam...awesome.
Alan with short scale 30'' Mustang bass - YES, the different sound!!! 10 centimeters shorter strings have better power. And drums.... the best drummer ever!!!! YES, the real Status Quo - THIS. ******************
Status fuckin' Quo is a great band. They're very good live & they just relentless... they have the same neverending buzz like Motorhead. The same un-compromisin' Rock N Roll attitude... like a train rumblin' on the track. Very good. I lis'n to 'Quo for a long long time and can't get enough of it. In this video is funy that the bass guitarist was singin' nowadays (and actually classic Quo songs as well) Rossi / Parfitt sings...
Can someone please pm me a video on youtube which has better sound quality than this? I can only find these live versions of the song, I want a normal sounding version. =\
i cant understand people who knock this band, they realy know how to play, they are very very good live, they have allways been the best live rock band too see, keep rockin and long live the quo
Man, oh, man! Da Quo at their best! Any effort to show stuff like this to rap-infected brains, today, woulda be like offering some good shot of JD's 15 years to a goat.
If only Jagger wouldn't put on his pretend American accent and dance like a prat! Apart from that The Stones were the best rock 'n' roll band back in late 60s early 70s.
Col Joye once went after a guy on stage with his guitar, and as it was solid wood and an old one, it would have brained him if he'd connected! Alan lives in Sydney these days, BTW.

they rock every generation
the best part of the video are those guys in the beginning that punch the mic in the face of the singer and then fell of the stage

Man, oh, man! Da Quo at their best! Any effort to show stuff like this to rap-infected brains, today, woulda be like offering some good shot of JD's 15 years to a goat.

Status Quo was best on the 70s, with Alan Lancaster and John Coghlan. Then they played rock'n'roll. Now they play schlagermusic >.>

If only Jagger wouldn't put on his pretend American accent and dance like a prat! Apart from that The Stones were the best rock 'n' roll band back in late 60s early 70s.

Col Joye once went after a guy on stage with his guitar, and as it was solid wood and an old one, it would have brained him if he'd connected! Alan lives in Sydney these days, BTW.
