IMO Rhino has written most of the best stuff in recent years.

It is indeed a belter thats for sure, and yeah I agree, and have actually said many times over the years that Rhino has written, or co written most of the best Quo material in recent years

It lacks the melodic side too, that always made Quo's rock songs so special (same goes for Gravy Train).

I always saw it as a pastiche and/or a parody. The riff is a great old fashioned shuffle to an extent and the lyrics make fun of all those 70's and 80's rock bands who used to declare they were born under a "baaad" sign.

But pastiche or not, it has a great groove to it. The Woodedz demo I think is better. More straightforward production wise. No knob twiddling - if you pardon the pun.

Parodies are great if done properly. And this is up there with Status Quid's Boring Song. The best pastiche ever!

Really fabulous track. Prefer this to quite a few of Quo's rock tracks from the 'golden years'.

BIG Quo mistake (imo): not to play it live. It was a perfect opportunity to not only rock out a belter, to offer Rhino some more than well earned time in the Quo limelight, but also add a 3rd live solo singer to Quo's lineup once more. Alan was sorely missed in that department especially - it was that (and nostalgia) which gave the FF a big advantage over any other lineup I think. Rhino must have been extremely miffed to not have been given the nod.

frozenhero: It's been over a year since anyone posted in the shoutbox. Is there anything that can be done to maybe gently revive this forum? Aug 10, 2023 21:27:31 GMT

mortified: This message board is almost redundant. I look in every day, just to check on things. But very few come on here any more. The band winding down will be a contributing factor I'm sure. It's not really social media in any other sense. Aug 24, 2023 10:20:51 GMT

PsychedeliCon: Many other communities that used to operate forums have switched over to using Discord Servers these days, which are a much quicker form of discussion. Also doesn't help that Quo haven't released anything new in quite a while. Oct 22, 2023 8:48:01 GMT
