I still find it hard to believe Rick and Alan are both gone. Miss them.
When Rick says he has no problem with Rossi seeing himself as number one in the band, speaks volumes. A double edged statement, Rick being very diplomatic and as always cool as 10. Can’t believe he’s gone and Alan too. ✌️💙
Rick wasn’t being diplomatic he was sitting on the fence. Ricks balls were in Rossi’s hands. Everyone likes to love Rick but Rick stabbed Coughlan and Lancaster in the back.
Good old Rick, he was everybody's pal and happy to just go with the flow... sadly missed! 🤘
Mr. Lancaster was a wonderful kind person towards myself. Both of these legends are sadly missed but will never be forgotten nor will Status Quo.
My respect for Rick just grows and grows. What a nice chap. Decent.
I met him on loads of occasions, our birthdays were 3 days apart and we were both seeing German girls, Rick married his !!
I bet she was blond.
so valuable all these analyses and memories from Rick - so glad they were published, it's such a great legacy.. still can't believe he isn't here with us anymore R.I.P. brother
I've loved quo since my teen days I have actually spent still got the complete ticket 1973 at festival hall Melbourne Australia I really miss rick Owen
I remember hearing a story about Rick having a 'meltdown' at an airport, where he had a verbal tantrum about being #2 behind Francis being #1 in the Band.
May be he'd forgotten about that too or was he being diplomatic for the interview?
We all know that Francis thought he was #1.
I think Lancaster is a lot of QUO fan's favourite Band member.
He is mine.
Coughlan, Lancaster, Parfitt (although Parfitt was sneaky) and the Italian ice cream salesman and coke addict Rossi would be my ascending order.
Too much coke does that to you and paranoia soon sets in and situations get out of control
Loved Rick Parfitt man. He was the only one who held the band together. Amazing rythmn guitarist. Sadly he's no longer with us but he'll never be forgotten R.I.P. Ricky
Rick was weak. Rick took orders from Rossi. Rick sat on the fence. Let’s get real here.
Absolutely mate. Rossi is a bit demanding I would imagine a bit hard to live with. But he is a damn good guitarist lets not forget that. The way he talks and moves around as he's sitting being interviewed is really terrible.
Yes I think Rick was happy to sit back as maybe his ego was satisfied with being one of the two most identifiable members of the band . Also he would have been receiving song writing credits ? So finically doing very well .
For me Rick, Alan and The Mad Turk were The Quo. Francis can continue his thing but it’s not The Quo.
They had 5 members in Matchstick days, with a fella on keyboards called Roy Lynes.
Brilliant. You must have nearly uploaded all of these segments?? But I hope you still have more as these have been the best I think of Rick talking ❤🎸🎸
Legends god bless them
A sad loss. They were brilliant.
nicest guy in rock.....rick and alan were great.....
Best rhythm guitarist and Alan great bassist hope you are jamming together you are both very much missed
That must be one amazing house band they have in heaven
@@glenchapman3899 they do are you living in th States
Alan Lancaster should never of been out of Quo.. . Rick and Alan and spud should have got together and told rossi were to go
They were recording as P.L.C ( Parfitt, Lancaster and Coughlan ) when Rick died the rest we'll never know.
No Rossi, no Quo.
They would have disappeared within a few years. Love him or hate him, Rossi kept them together and Rick has admitted it himself several times, he wouldn't have survived without Quo and Rossi
Alan shouldn't have moved to Australia, but he wanted to do real estate investments there, as Rick said elsewhere. Being a band's member but living as far away from the other members as it's possible on Earth wasn't a good idea and it didn't last for too long.
I agree. Rossi became too big for his boots just because he is the 'lead' guitarist. You can tell from listening to them talk. Rick is too nicer chap.
3 of them alternated the Lead Vocals depending on the style and sound of the song.
Plus, Roy Lynes was already in the Band when Rick joined.
I loved when other rock legends turned up on Top Of the Pops with Quo - I remember Kenny Jones , unlike Rick 🤩
Rick was a Libran and his peacemaker self is evident here.
Heart Wrenching
Francis instigated all the arguments in the band, anything to make it Rossi's band.
No Frame, no Quo. Enjoy the music they made - most bands last 5 years together tops. Stop f**king moaning!!! Enjoy a great band.
Да уж. Задолбали уже, если честно. Неизвестно, какой бы была Quo без Росси.
@@pauljones9061 Cocaine .... One hell of a drug. Rick got a pass because without Rick they would never had made it. FACT.
@@fromthemakersof5529I think you have a point when you say ‘No Frame, no Quo’. Every band has to have a leader to get it through the thick and thin. Sometimes it falls upon someone. Other times a person claims the position, but someone has to be captain, or the band would have faded away due to lack of direction, substance abuse or whatever. You heard Rick say he couldn’t remember all the stuff. The downside is the band goes in whatever direction the ‘captain’ want to take it. Remember Paul in the Beatles. Nobody really cared except Paul. I’m not saying I particularly like the direction Francis took the group either, but if he wasn’t in charge where would Quo be?
Been a Quo fan since the 70s. I don't get why Rick says at 3:20 that it was the 4 of them (the Frantic 4). Roy Lynes had already been in the band for a few years when Rick joined. Rick became the 5th member. Roy was still a member of the band for a few years after Rick joined. Wonder why he airbrushed Roy out of their history.
Rick was weak and took orders from Rossi. Sat on the fence and let Rossi get rid of Coughlan and Lancaster.

That is a very true overview of what happened.
Rossi is The Anti-Quo.
I saw an interview a few days ago with Rossi...it seems that demenz is setting in with him...as he was being interviewed he kept forgetting what he was talikng about and the interviewer had to keep reminding him
Rick Parfitt passed away in 2016 And Alan Lancaster passed away in 2021.
Alan was a lovely Guy
Why do people comment solely on the negative stuff. Seems like as the guys got older, there was some forgiveness.. and obviously a lot of forgetting because of the lifestyle that unfortunately went along with being in that industry.
The frantic four will always be Quo,the rest are just playing in a tribute band.
same as ACDC, Lynyrd Skynyrd etc. etc. etc. No different. Who do you work for? Who worked there before you? Who will work there after you? Are you the original or the tribute/ Jeezuz

Excuse my ignorance, what year is this?
Its about 2011 or 2012.
The pecking order is usually created by the public and media. It usually defaults to the lead singer.
Alan spotted early on that they were being ripped off financially
Money money money money….
What is wrong with earning money?
@@walkingtheboogienothing but it can make people different
Listen to Rick
@@koekelmetperen True it can make people different. And yes people can be ripped off.
If you aren't good with money, you might trust other people and just assume they are doing everything for you because they are nice when in fact they are not.
Trust can be misjudged.
I wonder if certain people caused Quo to change managers in 1988, due to the band believing things not to be true rather than it being the manager himself.
@@koekelmetperen listen to Rick what? He was in it for the money too.
It would be more honest to include the date of the interview in the title seeing tah t he is now dead for a few years.
Can you do something for me in return?
Interesting interview but I think Parfitt is misguided when he states there was no pecking order etc. Although not a fan of the Quo I recall the early pop - sike days ; Ice In The Sun et al and it was very obvious that Rossi was the main man . Lead vocals, with presence and charisma he was always the man who did the interviews etc. Lancaster however you look at it was not the face of Status Quo in my opinion
Rossi was the narcissist and egotist, greedy too, he thought he was Quo and everyone else was secondary and replaceable.
There’s always one of these assholes wherever you go in life, they cause heartbreak and anger and destruction around their gigantic egos and ambitions and it’s always at the expense of kindhearted genuine people.
What a shame Rossi is like that, I wonder what people like him think about in the quiet moments, does the greed,the money, the fame, the control and position actually mean anything good?
Screwing your friends over for money and position is a low act and speaks volumes about Rossi and his values, such a shame.
Poor Rick, you should have stood up to the bully Rossi a lot more and stopped him from sacking Coughlan and then Lancaster and then turning Quo into an embarrassing ‘medley’ wedding band with Rich and Rhino and the skeleton Bown. Parfitt sat on the fence and took his orders off the ice cream salesman Rossi. Parfitt lacked balls and sold his soul instead of backing up his band mates. There, I said it I feel better now. 🖕🏻
What a very nice guy, these interviews stand in stark contrast to Rossi’s which are full of rather unpleasant invective.
Alan was status quo my respect for him and fuck the rest of the band.
