[FLEXTHELudwigDrummer]

[AtomHardstyle344]

[TheChelseafan01]

I'm only 16 and i love quo, they're fantastic! Brilliant music.

[YingleYangle]

the first world famous band i've ever seen live where these guys, and im 15 xD age means nothing. status quo are good and thats that (:

[12quo]

Look at the that dickhead in the red hat at 0:39. And again at 1:08. Great song though. My favourite 80s song from quo.

[TheSaoirse777]

@12quo He's having fun an a laugh, unlike you watching every move the audience make, some peeps was living , having fun , not worrying what people thought, and they were right. Don't waste your life worrying about other people , enjoy it, its short .

You say Bruno Mars, I say Guns'n Roses You say Hannah Montana, I say KISS. You say Owl City, I say Bon Jovi You say Jonas Brothers, I say Queen You say Taylor Swift, I say Aerosmith.You say Justin Bieber, I say Fuck You 95% of teens these days listen to the same formulaic, crappy pop over and over again. If you're one of the 5% who still listens to real music, thumb this up, then copy and paste it to at least five videos. Don't let the spirit of rock and roll die

[123kateboo]

[tenti1524]

[Feisty1967]

Oh God, my invisible drumming got a bit out of control towards the end.

[TheMano59]

What You're Proposing.

Status Quo, cette chanson ma fait découvrir un groupe de musiciens fantastique et doué une histoire de pur bonheur qui dur depuis bien longtemps.

[Bastelmike]

puh, Memories.

Alt genug um mich an meine Jugend zu erinnern.

VW Käfer und altes krächzendes Radio, auf dem Weg nach Hanover mit einem Kasten Stuttgarter Hofbräu unter den Füßen.

That rocks.

Dieser Song ist einfach und geil.

[MrJonnybeegood]

genau mike.

hatte damals ein kreidler florett rmcs weltmeisterklasse.

bei dem song war es doch weltmeisterlich und erst gestern?

Gruss

Klaus

[tristangeorgethomas]

awesome song

[MrPomdownunder]

All of the audience had probably supped a "Party Seven" before this.....I saw Quo a few times and I delivered a lorry load of building materials to Franks home in very posh Rose Walk,South Croydon..alas he was away......

[hv113]

Greatest Song.Thank You.

Greetings from Croatia.....

[gioconesv]

This song and whatever you want are the best rock songs of all time

[guffley]

good post dojj

[cc75frenchygirl]

Status Quo is a fantastic band. probably the best band that has ever been and ever will be. They don't take themselves seriously, which is really great, because how many bands nowadays make jokes or mess around on stage? Status Quo overall has such a great and inviting personality. =)

Long live Qu

[Delia1950]

Well Yeeeeeeeeeeeeee Haaaaaaaaa !!

What a class song !!

[cc75frenchygirl]

listen to the lyrics. its one of the best songs ever and made it to the top 10

[XaviClot]

Totalmente de acuerdo Manolete... y no veas esta noche que conciertazo en Barcelona uffff me dio de todo. Long live Status Quo, long live rock and roll!!!

[dojj1968]

Difference between 1980 and now is simple.Then - how much fun can I have?

Today - how much money can I have?

[andymckenna1]

they dont care how much money they make they simply do it for the fun of doing it

[dojj1968]

Andy

That's the point I'm making - the quo always looked as if they were simply enjoying themselves. If you compare it with many so called pop stars of today, ego and money are priorities, I was noting how values have changed with the generations.

[schusterlehrling]

Don't be fooled.

Business was as importabt as today and Rock musicians were regarded as a product.

But I think the diffrenc eis that then creativity and originality were reagarded superior.

Not so today.

[astapic]

@dojj1968  SPOT ON!

[superemposed]

@dojj1968 Yea that true

[Feisty1967]

@dojj1968 Very true.

[bonkswa]

@dojj1968 sinds money existed people thought how much they can get

[sneeyize45]

@dojj1968 It was also more about making good music and less about how much will it sell or sell at all. I know that probably sounds naive to some, but that was true for much of the decades of the 1960's to the 1980's, even with some of the artists becoming hit makers, with a few exceptions.

[massimonesei]

[impact1]

yep the original frantic four were: john, francis, alan and rick. unmatched :)

[schusterlehrling]

Rock'n' Roll!!!!!!

[tripijb]

Can you see this is the time of PUnk? There are kind of punk jumping dance or how you called it (I am not English native speaker)... It is funny seeing punks enjoying Status Quo (like and old hog like me).

[gorgonslave]

I got into Quo previously was a big fan of punk.

The music is not much different than punk. Same roots :). Are you firmiliar with the ADICTS?

They told me personally that Quo was some of Their first concerts, and a favorite band. Best wishes from USA bud!

[Bubblesnraz]

My fav of all Quo apart from Down Down and Caroline.

[steliano55]

good song,but the sound is inspirated by romanian folklor(sarba)

[DigitalUnderground7]

If anyone can tell me what type of guitar it is that rossi plays in this vid id be very greatful. I was wondering if it was a schecter or a custom that rossi had made. He also plays the same guitar in the song 'rock n roll' on one of the early quo videos. Cheers :D

[attendsanty]

Best of the best of Status Quo!

[SITITEATER]

@attendsanty With you 100 %. Their best song.

[vaichevoa]

Aun me tiemblan las piernas.Imponentes.GRACIAS por subirlo

[Umbr3on]

Awesome song xDD

[chopchung]

am not a particular quo fan but this one really got me and i still love it today,also the much overlooked "Rock'n'Roll" from the following year!!!

[STEVEMILLIGAN2]

jc lancaster they were quo rossie wake up and get them back

[tattooedgodlike]

thats my drum kit.they flew in from germany and the kit wasn't there so I loaned them mine.its an Eddie Ryan kit.very rare.
