Rick Parfitt Status Quo interview - Hello Quo album and Cocaine

[@andreverhagemusic]

sad he's gone

[@carlosdeno]

One of the, if not the greatest rhythm guitarists to of walked the planet. When I was 13 I wanted to be Rick so bad, the looks, his voice a style. Mystery Song, Rain absolutely killer examples of his writing and open tuning style. I love Ma Kelly’s and Dog of Two Head, the early days of a change in style and learning their craft. Hello, with Roll Over Lay Down opening track absolutely amazing and superb album. Can’t believe he left us but with respect he lived the rock n roll lifestyle to the fullest. A lovely man. ✌️

[@quoman2232]

You said it all.😀

[@saidameri666]

Rest in peace Rick, you were the greatest 😢 Quo without Rick isn't Quo.

[@alanstrom2221]

QUO without Lancaster & Coghlan isn't QUO. Cocaine killed THE FRANTIC FOUR.

[@oldieman730]

Exactly. No one drives Quo's music like Rick.

[@Lloyd1885]

Rick had a lovely speaking voice, interesting bloke to listen to

[@boofuls]

Now you mention it 😊

[@highdownmartin]

Quite agree there. Nice little reminiscing series this.

[@pauljones9061]

Francis never reflects on how good they were , he's almost in denial about the heavy side of the band.

[@danielmoran9902]

Youre so right: the Pye years were fantastic.

[@rschortinghuis5452]

If Rossi gets the right, we’ll prepared interviewer he is always extremely honest and funny. I like that . FR gives his opinion and that’s ok.

[@josephbuckley5961]

​@@rschortinghuis5452he's a knob. And killed the band that people loved in the first place. Coz it wasn't about him. end of

[@SickOfItAll-do1cf]

My mum used to be his cleaner, said he was a really great guy

[@robertjackson8199]

Such a nice genuine bloke, always mentions quo fans and what quo was about..How the hell did he put up with Rossi all those years. Rossi always dismissed that era of Quo and his fans and comes across as a prick in interviews. RIP Rick.

[@StratsRUs]

It's a shame how most great bands break up but retain respect. Yet Quo just leave a hollow emptiness.The odd way everything dissolved into the ether. Such a great band

[@dilwich]

He was such a nice guy.

[@anthonyclarke5579]

Hello will always be the #1 album. But the moment Spud dropped the beat like a slab on your head with "Mystery Song" @ 20 seconds (Blue for You '76) the classic period was over with that one song. Hell of an intro and relentless beat. Thank you guys.✌👍

[@tonykichenside8443]

Hello is a great album from Quo.

[@steve-bk1qd]

Did some great stuff in their early days...John Peel was a fan...Paul Weller is a fan...no bigger endorsements than those...people forget that Quo were considered 'the people's band' in the mid 70s... a bit like Oasis in the 90s...Ma Kelly's and Dog of Two Heads...great albums....

[@olebach6941]

Rick was the engine and machine in Quo after Ricks death no Quo.

[@billyburgess3912]

Never listen , until now. , loving it

[@haydoncooper3744]

A truly great album.

[@turnerthemanc]

A Monster strummer. Massive high action, 14s strings and his picks centre punched by his guitar tech so he could keep hold of them. He was a unique rhythm guitarist. Sad loss.

[@dbriet]

Rick, he's playing guitar like ringing the bell. RIP Rick😢

[@hans-joergheumos9239]

R.I.P Ricky! Great Guitarist!😢

[@billybigtime2808]

Nicky Lauder/powder ha ha ha ha

[@tonymc55]

Oh,that's what the reference was. I was too embarrassed to ask. Cheers😂

[@tomfaulkner6616]

not heard that one. Think it was more than twelve to the dozen no!?

[@paulmorgancollings7833]

My mate Steve used to refer to it as "Salvador Dali",as in "has anyone belled up the 'Salvador yet?'. Oats and barley being another one. And far too many others to list. Top man was Rick Parfitt RIP

[@KryptonitetoallBS]

@@paulmorgancollings7833 In Glasgow a "Salvador Dali" is a bevvy as in Dali=Swalley.

[@johnparsons4941]

RIP Rick

[@alanstrom2221]

Compare the "HELLO" album to "Marguerita Time"

[@tediousmaximus1067]

Point taken.

[@iangascoigne8231]

All of a sudden the colour of the world changed and away we went, and the next thing I knew I’d lost my septum.

[@renatoporcu3097]

Un grande dei STATUS QUO 👑

[@andyhill9236]

Don't think I will ever be able to decide on the greatest rhythm guitarist in rock n roll, it's just too close to call between this guy and Malcolm Young. Both were machines......

[@pfzt]

Johnny Ramone and James Hetfield.belong there too.

[@jonathanpardoe8722]

Well I loved "Piledriver" and thats the album I will be taking with me into the next world ! But Rick above all was too me the original engine driver of Quo and cant understand why he only got a 3rd of a page in the Sun paper at his passing when pervert George Michael got himself away with a 14 page colour pullout of the same paper .

[@renatoporcu3097]

👁️👁️❓ Perché= basso / DRUM / tastiera non erano in nominative 🙏❓❓

Title is misleading, the album was called Hello and it was by Status Quo.

[@steverossi6525]

The film this is from was titled Hello Quo 👍🏻

@@steverossi6525 But it says Hello Quo album??

Yoko Ono was the death of that band

What?

[@MrJackal43]

Who?

[@mentalpot]

"the quo fans"! 🤣is there such a thing...Spinal Tap eat your heart out...me suspects that the "quo fans" are non existent....

[@Nyquest]

Rick Is sitting by his swimming pool in Spain in his large private villa, his Bentley Continental was back in the UK so he just imported a Range Rover Sport for getting around in.....I'd say they had enough fans to fund that.

[@gordyhydro5774]

Obviously, the QUO army didn't exist, mate. Bollocks at that time they were one of the biggest on the planet.

[@TobiasBaker-c5b]

Can't hear the interviewer........

[@alanserjeant4947]

Good job Rick could ... 🙂
