What's surprised me a little is that Rick's solo album could easily be from 'Quo Lite'. Nothing wrong with it just not what I expected him to go away and do.andyd wrote:Not much after 1980 was worth buying imo, but many fans still like them....Daz-RSK wrote:Yes, it's now a shame that only Francis is the original member and Rhino / Andy Bown as long standing members. It starts to feel like Dr Feelgood (no pun intended ) Where do you draw the line that are we now seeing a tribute of the former real act ?
Before he died Rick called the line up 'Quo Lite', so we have every reason to agree
Heavy Quo (Frantic Four) was what he liked along with Coghlan and Lancaster.
Rossi was amazing on the FF Tour but he just wasn't really into it His facisnation with the more melodic pop tunes has overcome him....
I would love to be able to play like he does, but Rick was and always will be Quo to me!

I just watched the FF on Youtube at Hammersmith 29/3/14 ....Considering they were all 65 and over, still as good as the Live '76 album imo!
You wouldn't know they hadn't all played together since early/mid 80's

Love them. Still buy one now and again from the local tesco express but the modern ones aren't as good with their plastic caps and solid instead of hollow suck through licorice.

Re: Who Remembers?
This seems apt with the impending snow which is about to fall.
My school virtually never closed due to the weather, now they close on a whim. The snowflake generation indeed!

Re: Who Remembers?
Ha ha - that's a good one!!.
The times I had to walk/catch the coach to school in the 1980s when snowing and snowdrifts. It seemed that all vehicles were off the road yet our coach always made it through! How did that happen ?
And when you arrived, there were so many kids and teachers there, they seemed to find it surprising that you found it a struggle to get in - 2 feet of snow wasn't any issue for them.

Re: Who Remembers?
Thanks Daz. And surely keeping kids off school in bad weather is more dangerous than sending them to school, as they're out playing in the 'dangerous' snow!
Re: Who Remembers?
We all wanted time off school due to occasional bad weather, but 9 times out of 10 we had to go.
With health and safety and injury claim companies now, is it any wonder people are soft Besides that, we were definately tougher back then.

Re: Who Remembers?
There was a time period once when sportsman were real people who could be themselves, they were exciting, vibrant, and, like most of us, flawed. This seems to have been lost in the current world of sanitisation and well behaved perfection, dare not bring the sport into disrepute, goodness me.
Some might say Higgins had a wasted talent, but he shone above all others on that green table which is why millions loved to watch him, above all others.
Steve Davis was totally brilliant yes, but I mean, who would you rather go on a night out with, Steve Davis or Alex Higgins
Bring back real sportsmen I say.
