Well, not quite, but realising some things about yourself. And friends. Well, supposed ones, anyway.
Let the rebuilding BEGIN. (final emo post from me, promise).
Good luck Verbs. Onwards and upwards mate.

Got my Status Quo tickets for the original line up tour next year.
Hammersmith Odeon (it's STILL not the Appollo) will be rocking like a bastard come the middle of March next year.
Cue obvious shitty pithy comments about the 'One chord wonders' but you see I don't care.
Quo live ROCKS!

One chord wonders is giving them far too much credit... let's try single note wonders and build from there.Gary the Enfield wrote:Got my Status Quo tickets for the original line up tour next year.

Admittedly their output has generally been poor these last few years but this line up was one of the hardest rocking/ hardest working bands on the circuit 30 years ago. Always value for money and any greb worth his salt would have some Quo in his collection. I cannot wait for this concert to come round.

Re: Today I'm happy about......
Trouble is Francis Rossi who plays in Quo doesn't play blues guitar, he plays repetitive riffs. I'll give you that they are hard working. I don't like them. I don't like them for the reason that I think their songs are tedious. In fact you used my ripost - yawn. But if you like them, fair enough, but you did say "Cue obvious shitty pithy comments about the 'One chord wonders' but you see I don't care" which obviously lay yourself open to getting a shitty pithy comment, but then your reaction to that comment shows that you Do Care Mr Enfield, you big softy.Gary the Enfield wrote:Lost Leopard Spot wrote:One chord wonders is giving them far too much credit... let's try single note wonders and build from there.Gary the Enfield wrote:Got my Status Quo tickets for the original line up tour next year.

Yawn. Francis Rossi is widely recognised amongst his peers as one of the most underrated Blues guitarists of his generation.

Because he doesn't. The 'repetitive riffs' is associated with the rhythm section of John Coghlan (Drums), Alan Lancaster (Bass) and Rick Parfitt (Rhythm Guitar)
I accept Status Quo are marmite. As for the fingers........................meh.

They're doing that set list for the concert.
Bought my tickets on pre-sale this morning and apparently they're already changing hands for upwards of £100 on e-bay!

Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

I think I've told you forty five hundred times you're a poor old man. Now, don't waste my time, you don't own me, that's a fact - I'm off to spend the afternoon with Long Legged Linda, she's a much softer ride.
