I met Rick in 1989 at the Midland Hotel in Manchester. I was there on my works Xmas meal. He was sat having a cup of tea with his wife. Went up said hello. He gave me a signed pic and was a really nice bloke to talk to. Quo were playing the playing the G-Mex across the road that night. Nice memory to have. God bless his soul.x
I can feel his nervousness, it must have been so hard to get up in a strange venue and talk but he did incredibly well... I can also feel the love from the fans who enjoy and hang onto his every word. RIP Ricky you created so much wonderful music ♥ x
I have been a huge Status Quo girl since I was 5yo thanks to my eldest brother. I was very lucky to see them live performing in St Kilda at the Palace 🇦🇺 Australia. I was lost for words when he died. I still love there music today and listen to there cds on my way to work May he RIP 😢
First song I ever fell in love with was Caroline. I bought my first cheap guitar off that and now I have them all. Only because of these guys though. God bless the band for trying to be honest to their roots. God bless Rick, lovely man.
yes - silver label ? can't remember the name though ... Capitol ? my memory is fading , but was the flip side "Joanne" ? Oh Joanne , I love you still .....
Rick always came over as a Nice guy,as he said he never took stardom for granted & that always came over in his interviews.....Quo was.never the same once you left this planet,the band lost its engine & Was never really the same....RIP Rick
Yeah , I know but I think Francis keeps the show going in memory of Rick .... agreed there will always be "someone" missing . Stones minus Charlie Watts kinda thing .
What a great meet n greet, Rick was an awesome rhythm player, learning Rick's part of a Quo song is a workout, just watch him play, there was a tremendous amount of energy that went into his live gigs, also the bands enegy, presence and songs was the reason Quo was asked to be the first band to take the stage at 'Live Aid'
I met Rick and Francis when they signed Rock to You Drop autobiography in the 90s Birmingham or Wolverhampton Smiths exactly like you thought they would be very funny .♥️
After watching interview and interview of this rock gentleman and also Francis...I can't believe what a down to earth guy nice guy rick and Co really was cud never get my head round how down to earth they really were on stage..although there famous
I'm acdc mad..... and the only other fans I've ever felt are behind there band all the way are quo fans....they live and breath quo...I've met many ...good band...they stuck to there craft.through thick n thin...and I respect that
Wow the guy that got up ...bet he still dont sleep.... never ever do that ....there's a reason why they sound the way they do...Rick got a solid right hand..like a machine....bit like malcom young....they have hardly any distortion at all .just old school gain....and it's all arm power..and tight chops.....the guy digs in ...and he's got it down ...man I felt sorry for the guy who got up....he couldn't even get it to work.... the look he gave was like...the strings sound dead...there as thick as my legs....and there is no distortion.... Rick gets hold of it ..and bang ...that some skill... I'll take unique over flash ....any day of the week
Miss him in the World,i used to put the Early 70’s albums on,and played along until I got each songs as near as possible,Dog o two head,Piledriver,Hello,Quo,On the Level,Blue for you,,then they released RAOTW and i hated it,Spud n Nuff leaving made it worse,,
I imagine the Celestial conversation between Rick Parfitt and Eddie Van Halen to go like this... EVH: _"Rick! Jimi told me I'd find you here! Are you doing the Jeff Beck tribute tonight? I've got thousands of custom-built guitars and amps all made to my specific designs by the Heavenly Hands of Jesus, and effects and strings woven from the mourning wails of distraught cherubim and the silky tears of weary angels. What do you need for your contribution?"_ Rick: _"A lump of wood and six ship ropes if that's OK? And if you wouldn't mind pointing me towards the British annexe? I have an appointment with Lemmy and John Bonham to rehearse the rhythm section. And don't bother picking us up. James Hunt says he'll drive. And I don't want it to be awkward, but Jimi and Jeff said they'd rather come to the party with us..."_
Top man we all love you R I P
Great sound, lovely bloke! Sad loss

What a gracious man - no pomp or splendour. Having a goal to make other people happy with your art, is an honourable thing.
I can feel his nervousness, it must have been so hard to get up in a strange venue and talk but he did incredibly well... I can also feel the love from the fans who enjoy and hang onto his every word. RIP Ricky you created so much wonderful music ♥ x
Agreed
A great musician could play anywhere very sadly missed .RIP Rick ❤️
Lovely man and a true legend sadly missed R.I.P
Good old Rick. Best rhythm guitarist ever and best bloke ever.
Rick, Malcolm and Keith - Best rhythm guitarists ever.

Really enjoyed this, such a sweet and humble guy, sorely missed 🙏
What an absolute diamond of a man, sorely missed by everyone

He had a great life. One of the nicest guys in rock. Saw him with Quo in 1979.
Great video mate!! The fella was an absolute gentleman and a true Rock Legend!! 🤘🤘
The great man himself!
No Quo without the engine...
Pete Woodroffe Music UK
Sadly missed.....great band, great music and real people.
DEAR PARFITT. WE LOVE YOU !!!!!!!!!!. THANKS FOR ALL IN THE HEAVEN.
Rick was so under rated.
A very humble genuine guy and a great rhythm guitarist.
God bless you sir. You are a legend
Rick always came over as a Nice guy,as he said he never took stardom for granted & that always came over in his interviews.....Quo was.never the same once you left this planet,the band lost its engine & Was never really the same....RIP Rick
Without Rick Quo is like a six cylinder engine only running on four. The power just isn't there.
Yeah , I know but I think Francis keeps the show going in memory of Rick .... agreed there will always be "someone" missing . Stones minus Charlie Watts kinda thing .
Rick was simply the best! He was Quo to all of us 🎸👍🎸🎸🎸🎸
Rik was Quos engine the power behind it. !!!!!
Lovely man!
Rick really was one of the better ones, really humble considering he’s immense talent and cool aesthetic. He’s sorely missed. 🎸
🙏 a real gentleman

Everyone loved Ricky
"Not a bad life really"

immortal Rick !!
Spot on advice. We played Quo in our first band. Got the basics, but the real stuff has real subtle moves.
The most important rhythm player ever in my opinion.... RIck was a legend!
Malcolm Young
@@Panigale67I'd put them on the same level, I think Rick could have carried AC-DC, and malcom the same with Quo
Goose bumps when he plays from the 5:00 mark.
9:31 love that
he is so sadly missed , hope he plays where he is and able to please on the other side
rick great man we will miss him one of the best
Rick should have had a TV or radio show❤

Fluid guitarist nice guy too👍

The guitar intro to whatever you want , for me, is the best intro I will ever hear.
@@richardswinson4381 it’s the same for me! I prever live more than studio!
I'm acdc mad..... and the only other fans I've ever felt are behind there band all the way are quo fans....they live and breath quo...I've met many ...good band...they stuck to there craft.through thick n thin...and I respect that
Saxon fans very much are just loyal to the band
Sorely missed
When Rick died, Quo died.
D e f i n a t l e y..sad as it is so true sane for ne when rick died in was game over for quo
Very true
Not the same without him
Absolutely
My Youth Had been so different without him
Nice to see Tommy Saxondale towards the end there at 28.26 🤘
Therel never be no other.....l e g e n d
❤🙏

Blimey. Back from the dead. What a bloke😅
Rick was always my favourite in the band and since his passing sad to say but I don't have much interest in Quo now 😔
Without Rick Quo is like a six cylinder engine only running on four. The power just isn't there.
Was it in 2007?
9:31 was the eargasm
When was it?
Cameramen e video incomprten😢
Knotts berry farm.
Why have groups become bands all of a sudden
Woking's finest (not including Paul Weller, Peter Gabriel and . . . . Delia Smith!!)
Think Weller still owed them a Voxac30 from early Jam days.
The guy who played at 20 minutes was absolutely 💩🤣
Such a shame he was such an avid drug addict. That’s what took him. RIP
Bullshit
Rude bunch in the crowd
why?
"Best in the world " hardly
At playing rhythm guitar for Status Quo he was.
@alanserjeant4947 best in the world for playing with status quo, ok 🤷♂️
