I posted a video of Rossi & paid friends actually Don't you think that's a tad disrespectful towards Andy and Rhino at least ? Andy has first played with the band in 73 and Rhino has been with them far longer than Alan. But you know all that .. On the other hand - I hope all band members have always been paid their share. After all the band's a job and not a hobby ..

I find you entertaining 😂 Its gotta be bad when you have to "like" yer own posts Yeah so ok I missed out the word "main" in my original post, an oversight on my part, he is a hired hand doing a job he is paid to do, nobody would have turned down the chance he was given so I cannot knock him for that. Just as well you do not see a lot of the stuff I see in other places regarding the band you still think is SQ, and the even more amusing attempts at defending them from folk like yerself , or maybe you do see them, but as a "TRUE" fan (which really translates into "accept anything") you deem it below yerself to respond, OR, perhaps you don't infact have a valid response with any substance. Its all about opinions of course

I also find stuff amusing as there are more of us than there is of you. You and a few cronies from elsewhere who pretend to number many...lol. The hilarious part is the more the band go on the more annoyed the few of you get ! 😂

I think we can officially call W.O.M.O.R.R (aka Ive) a troll, as he insists that this is no longer Status Quo, yet this board is about Status Quo. As I suggested in an earlier post that was locked by admin for some odd reason, perhaps we should give him his own section so that he can rant with the same thread ad infinitm in that section, instead of hijacking every thread at every opportunity. Alternatively he should post his thoughts in the Tribute Band section to be consistent with his view that they are now simply a tribute band.

Alternatively he should post his thoughts in the Tribute Band section to be consistent with his view that they are now simply a tribute band. I locked the thread referred to as it had simply become a personal, mud slinging exercise. That ain’t what this boards about. Hopefully that answers that one. The band touring as Quo, are indeed Quo, the record books will show that. Whether people choose to accept them as Quo is very much a personal decision, based on emotion. Ive/WOMORR doesn’t accept it, he associates Quo as having Rick in the band. I don’t see any harm in that, it’s an opinion he’s entitled to. Accepting opinions works both ways I guess. You/I see it as Quo, he doesn’t. Of course we can take the moral high ground, it IS Quo, factually speaking. BUT, isn’t music all about passion and emotion? Does the difference of opinion not make for interesting debate? Is it really Quo without Rick? Yes, this is a Quo MB but if we all said everything was great it’d be dull as owt I suspect. A bit of tolerance on both sides goes a long way. We all share a common passion at the end of the day, rock n roll. Some folk sometimes get carried away. That’s why admin exist. We sometimes get it wrong, every now and then we (Snakelady) get it right. Hijacking threads ain’t great but debating threads is. Fine lines.

Yep Bam agreed. It’s all about passion and individual opinions. We will never change their opinion and they will never change ours so it’s good banter! Again... very correct. The history books do show and will show this band is Status Quo up until they decide otherwise. Or Francis decides more to the point. So my opinion is I / we have won the argument and Womorr has already lost. 1986 - to be continued has happened folks wether you choose to agree with it or not. And the FF is in the History books now in s very good way. Ended. How does Womorr win the argument if QUO call it a day ? Answer He has already lost !

Can we please concentrate on this mb here. Quotes like 'many from elsewhere agree with me' don't prove anything and aren't exactly helpful @irp. Your opinions are in a very small minority on here. That's just how it is and you knew that before you've returned - if you need that backing from others you better post elsewhere, where your opinions are more popular. It doesn't mean anybody is more in the right than anybody else, but pretending you're the only one in the know and ridiculing others is never going to be helpful for an enjoyable debate and that goes for all sides.
Facts can be wrong, opinions can't and better not confuse the two.

There's certainly nothing wrong with having an alternative view. And, to be fair, there's been some stick on here for the band (or perhaps more accurately Francis and the management) for a good part of this year. And certainly since the whole 'plugged in' debacle. From myself included. But there are always two sides to every discussion. Or it wouldn't be a discussion. We'd all simply nod our heads From my own viewpoint, it has never been about carrying on without Rick. That's a decision for the band and if I didn't like it I'd simply walk away. I've had a good innings The issue that gets some of us is the 'official statements' that have been coming out. Some are so transparent they're actually insulting. But, at the end of the day, the songs are the same, the live performances are not detracted in any way (in my opinion) and they're played well. So, if I ignore the rhetoric I can carry on quite happily. The same as the band really. It's not all rosy in the garden but neither is it the end of the world. And I can almost guarantee that a new album of material - if it ever comes to light - will be a cracker. I just have a feeling.

Sadly, this dwindling support are the ones a certain band relies on,, but ticket sales are saying otherwise

Many have walked away but are equally taking great delight in the U turns and obvious BS. The songs are NOT imvho played the same at all,

Couldn't the same be said of you but with the opposite argument obviously?

Its all about how it sounds, its beyond me reading some of the comments I have read regarding the Rossi & friends band, comments such as (and these are genuine quotes I assure you), it sounds as good as it did with Rick I couldn't hear any difference Richie is better than Rick Rick isnt really missed There are loads more such (IMHO) BS comments I have seen, but I say again, all the comments above are genuine

Re: in bold above, of course they are, as in reality this would appear to be a Rossi & friends board,,, but I have the right to express my views, if you do not want such views as my own then fair enough, just rename the board as for current fans only.. or a praise only board, as far as i am concerned its A SQ board, so therefore that covers all era's of the band, and NOT just the current Rossi and friends band,,, and I delight in watching some try to defend what is imvho the undefendable. If you honestly expect just praise on here and nothing else, with respect, you really are not living in the real world I mean, according to this board Alan was a drug addict Its always been Rossi's band Rick was lazy Ex fans are cronies I have read all of the above ON THIS BOARD,, pure fuel to me

That's why John felt alienated as he was the only one not doing cokeIts always been Rossi's band Of Course, though not solely Rick was lazy If not practising can be classed as lazy then yep, he was lazy.Ex fans are cronies ?I have read all of the above ON THIS BOARD,, pure fuel to me Hope that helps You got more questions ? Btw. It's nice to have your opinions - as long as it's not in doses too large ..

Hope that helps You got more questions ? Btw. It's nice to have your opinions - as long as it's not in doses too large .. Can you tell me what others ? What you really mean is its nice to have my opinions but don't knock the Rossi and Friends band I. e. I remember an interview with Rick in which he remarked something along the lines of 'I could feel for John and why he'd feel alienated because I've always enjoyed a drink as well. He was the only one not doing drugs, so he just wasn't on the same wavelength as the rest of us any longer and must've felt lonely'. That definitely implies that Alan took drugs as well at the time John left. You can always say that you don't like the sound or look of the current line-up as long as you're aware that it's your opinions you're stating and not facts.
