I was so looking forward to this but in the end it was pretty ordinary. The band crucified several Quo classics. Obviously being a Quo crowd people sang along but in reality it was not so good. John needs to get a decent band together. I mean for God sake they had a Rick who didn't sing!!! Poor

If you attended as well and left with a different impression, you can always write your own report. Sorry for you johns, that it had obviously been a waste of time and money for the ticket for you.

To be honest I would go again, purely because it's John C. However I'd hope for better next time.

The sets half decent, but chuggs along at a steady pace. I wouldn't go see them again, there's some far better tribute bands out there.. 👍🤔

A Rick that doesn't sing indeed! and it should be in the solo and side projects section Are you saying my post is a wind up? First of all it is in this section because it is a tribute band and not a current band member doing something new as a side project or even an ex-band member doing something new as a side project. Secondly the guy who is the Rick Parfitt equivalent in the band doesn't sing any lead vocals, which if you are going to have a Quo tribute band then you need to get people who can play the part. I know that John's other half gets upset when I have posted on Facebook that it is basically a tribute band but no matter what it is a tribute band that happens to be led by the ex-drummer in the band paying tribute to his own past.

Your poor grammar and writing style offers an indication as to how much notice others should take of your opinions. Why did you insert a comma between vocals and which? You would clearly be totally incapable of writing a songs lyrics, putting music to it, or performing such music in a live setting. Of course I agree this would be more difficult for you to do than an original member who contributed so much to the QUO SOUND regardless of lack of writing. The classic Quo sound had an ingredient called JC

We don't have many rules on here and you can like what you like, but please respect other people's opinion and act accordingly. Wer don't need a grammar teacher on here either.

Only Rick Chase is good enough in that band. The so called Rick Parfitt is naff as is the front man. But you ask if I am saying your post is a wind up, then you go on to admit you wind up JCs other half on Facebook.

Having said that I'd rather this didn't deteriorate into some idiotic childish argument.

To be honest I don't understand that argument. Why does playing Quo songs mean that they have to mimic the Quo's line-up? What if the bass player turns out to have the best voice in a band, or the drummer...? The Australian Pink Floyd show have a singer that only sings - unlike Pink Floyd...

I didn't expect him to necessarily sing all the Parfitt stuff but some of it would be expected I think. So when fans say it's better than Quo I just can't get where they are coming from.

My guess is, they probably prefer it to Rhino singing Parfitt stuff, (or Lancaster stuff for that matter). So in comparison, would you be happy for Rick Chase to sing all the Parfitt stuff in JCQ? he is a very capable classically trained singer unlike Rhino.

I just think if you have what is basically a Quo tribute and that they have the 3 vocalist parts in place.

For a normal tribute band, the idea, is usually, to recruit people that can replicate the parts of the original band, trying to make the covers as authentic as possible. So in that case a Quo tribute with a non-singing Rick would seem a bit naff.
But in this case I don’t think that is the idea. The idea is to see the original drummer performing songs from his time in the band. Thus he just needs a band able to achieve this, and it really doesn’t matter if the correct guitarist or bassist is singing whichever song it is. Just about playing the songs with the original drummer. You are paying to see John Coghlan perform these songs, not to see a Rick, Francis or Alan doppelganger.

I probably should add that it's just my opinion so no real need for the hypocritical remark. I thought the band in general were poor. Whether you agree or not is upto you.

I probably should add that it's just my opinion so no real need for the hypocritical remark. I thought the band in general were poor. Whether you agree or not is upto you. Rhino isn't singing that much anyway as Richie's voice fits much better with Rick's songs and - I'd never thought I'd say that - Rhino's singing has improved a lot over the last 2-3 years. So for the sake of the band feel it's ok if he sings a tune or two. Still prefer Richie singing Rick's songs though. Andy's voice doesn't really suit WYW IMO, but it is his song after all and he deserves a bit of the lime light too. As I've never seen JCQ and most likely never will I can't comment on the quality of their performance. Generally speaking though, as always it's down to personal taste - you either like what they do or not - and arguing taste just doesn't work (although, admittedly, it's been done since the start of the very first mb .. ).
