Now boys and girls, this is real rock and roll. Some of their songs date back to 1950's and 1960's. The album was released in 2000. I have to listen to them all the time during the virus. I have enjoyed songs from my childhood......
Always makes me feel good when listening to Quo.. Ever since mid 80s when I discovered them.. First album ever purchased was Just Supposing.. Got them all now. Andy Bown plays keyboards, guitar and mouth organ... No end to his talents..
That's right Charles. Now boys and girls if you could sit quietly in awe of these musicians. You can clap and nod your heads in time with the 12 Bar Rock n Blues. If it sounds a little familiar to you it's because these are the guitarists that invented this type of music and other people have copied them. OK, let's Rock kids.
Status Quo; Rock 'til You Drop, Documentary 1991 -Len Carey said -" To me Jeff Rich was the best drummer they ever had. " Len, that is a matter of personal and subjective opinion. Objectively, John ' Spud ' Coghlan is the best Drummer that Status Quo ever had. Then Matt Letley was the 2nd best Drummer. If I was given the opportunity to play Drums with my favourite and best Rock band in history, then I would've been QUO's 2nd best Drummer. I'm awesome, plus I play all the fills and cymbal crashes that the other QUO Drummers left out. Great Drummers have great memories and are able to repeat everything. Most Drummers chronicle the history of bands they play in. In contrast to 'popular' belief, Drummers are usually the most intelligent members of Rock bands. We see and hear everything. Jeff was proficient not exceptional as a Drummer. Jeff left the band after recording Famous in the Last Century in 2000 He did a very good job on this album, in fact I think he was the best Drummer for these songs. Apart from me of course!!! LOL!!!!!!! Go the mighty QUO!!!!!!!! Rock on Len. My love to all QUO fans worldwide, we are the most special fans in music history
strange enough: the whole sheperd's bush famous in the last century show was mimed playback for DVD recording. why? anyway, even playback the rock the house. :-)
Famous in the Last Century is the twenty-fourth studio album by British rock band Status Quo, released in 2000 to largely negative reviews.[citation needed] According to the band's autobiography, the idea to record it came from manager David Walker, who said they should celebrate the millennium with an album containing twenty of their favourite hits from the past century. "Another bloody covers album!" grumbled Francis Rossi. "We went along with it, as usual, but inside I felt like a fraud... for me it was the worst Quo album there had ever been - or ever will be!"[2] "We didn't wanna do it," Rossi said, "but it sold. I don't think we'll do another one."[3] However, 2003's Riffs was another covers collection. Famous in the Last Century reached No.19 on the UK Albums Chart, a better position than the previous Quo album of mainly original material, Under the Influence. Two singles from it - "Mony Mony" and "Old Time Rock and Roll" - were minor hits. Jeff Rich left the band after recording this album and was replaced by Matt Letley. A DVD of the same name and featuring the same songs was filmed at the Shepherd's Bush Empire on 27 March 2000. This performance is mimed but they did a live gig after the album tracks were mimed but no video footage has ever been released. A few live tracks were b sides taken from this performance
Famous in the Last Century From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Famous in the Last Century is the twenty-fourth studio album by British rock band Status Quo, released in 2000 to largely negative reviews.[citation needed] One of those NEGATIVE REVIEWS was from Francis Dominic Michael Rossi. " for me it was the worst Quo album there had ever been - or ever will be!"[2] As one of QUO's most ardent fans I say WTF, on what grounds can Mike Frame Rossi ( LOL ) say that!!!!! It is an outstanding and brilliant covers album. The only drawback is that their Record company chose the wrong songs as Singles. It's not the first time they've chosen 2nd or 3rd rate songs as Singles. GOOD GOLLY MISS MOLLY is an awesome rendition and I'm sure Rick Parfitt would've agreed that it's one of his best recordings. Francis' vocal delivery on CRAWLING FROM THE WRECKAGE would've had Graham Parker delighted and exuberantly excited, jumping up and down in his lounge room. Blues Legend Robert Johnson had no idea that he'd written SWEET HOME CHICAGO for a Rock band to record in 70 years time. It is superb. ROCKIN' ME is beautifully understated and played at a pace that sounds like it could fall apart at any second. I love it. How can Rossi say that he doesn't like the album when you hear him singing WAY DOWN by ELVIS or RAVE ON by his hero BUDDY HOLLY!!! Rossi does some of his best singing ever on CLAUDETTE. Pull the other one Francis, this is an awesome album. Don't get me started on RIFFS, it's even better!!!!!!
Francis says some very strange and odd things about THE QUO. " for me it was the worst Quo album there had ever been - or ever will be!"[2] Every track on FITLCentury is a personal favourite of mine. It's uncanny that QUO's fave songs are mine as well. We have an affinity. Once again, no Francis, you are wrong, PERFECT REMEDY is the worst album QUO have ever recorded. When I spoke with Alan Lancaster at a gig in Sydney in the early 90's , he scoffed when he said " They're playing Country now " Then we shared a scooby with John Brewster from The Angels. John and Alan were in THE LANCASTER BOMBERS, a great hard rock band. One of the major reasons that Alan left the band he formed with Francis, was the horrible and revolting " Marguerita Time " in 1983. A terrible Country song. DON'T STOP another Covers album, leaves a lot to be desired, in other words, it's not very good. When I told Francis in 2003 that I had all the albums except DON'T STOP, quick as a flash he said " Don't bother " Then he signed my copy of " HEAVY TRAFFIC " which is one of the best Rock albums in history!!!!!!!! This album made the Australian Top 50 albums chart without any airplay.
Alan you critique Marguerita Time in haste, just like The Party Ain’t Over Yet, they are feel good songs/tunes. Just, sometimes you have to take your foot off the gas and chill, they aren’t soo bad.
