Actually, because of the sign on the video of the opening post I got confused. I was actually talking about Coming and Going

Would you had liked it if Rossi had written it and sung lead on it ?,, just out of interest.

No, why should I? It's an awful track.

Sounds like a precursor to 80s hair metal. "YOU'RE DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". Dreadful.

That was The Wild Ones I think. A remake of the 50's movie of the same name starring Marlon Brando.

As for Over The Edge, its an absolute belter and the last great track (for me) that Alan contributed to any Quo album.

For some reason, they never seemed to be able to recreate the sheer power of it live.

It's OK, I quite like it. Yep it's 80s 'hair metal' - but it were the 80s.
Better than most everything he had written before it and for a long time IMO.
Best 80s song from Alan was The Wild Ones though. (and yep, that's the one from the film)

Beware of snakes - if you ever get one you want another one and another one

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
