Sound Like Status Quo | BY Busting The Bank

[@disharmonymictlantecutli8408]

Here in Mexico there is a city called Ciudad Neza where Status Quo is the biggest rock band on earth, greetings!

That is so f**king cool

@@disharmonymictlantecutli8408 wasin Bogota last year and the Latin music scene is soo good, still organic and passionate,two qualities the west is letting slip fast. My first Quo gig was 1980, it was my first ever gig, and i won the tickets in a bet with my friend, who's dad was friends with their manager. He also got me all the albums up until Just Supposin', all vinyl and all first editions and i still have them. Hopefully i will get to your city next visit assuming the pandemic doesn't kill travelling.

That was my favourite ‘Sound like’ . Really enjoyed it. Very talented lads who make those very expensive guitars worth there money!

[@markjt193]

Oh my goodness! I was 17 when Caroline was released... I have neglected the Quo for way too long. I just spent half an hour in KZbin rock-heaven watching videos from 1973 to 2017. Back in the day it wasn't very cool to admit you liked the Quo with stuff like Yes, Bowie, ELP and Soft Machine in the mix. Now I'm open to pretty much everything, and wow, what a fantastic, pure and punchy rock sound. Just some of the best riffs ever, and great vocal harmonies to boot. Thanks for stirring up memories of that 6th-form party where I met someone special ;)

[@mariodriessen9740]

I love Bowie and I Love Soft Machine. I listened to Yes a lot (ELP not so much - these things can happen). But my joy of listening to music for hours and hours in a row started when I was ten years old and my mom let me choose my first album. First I wanted a Sweet album, 'cos that's what I listened to since I was 5 years old, but I bought Rockin' all over the world'. After that I bought nothing but Status Quo for a looooong time. I don't listen to the old albums as much as I used to, but still, everytime I hear the opening of their first live album, I can't help but being happy and feeling energetic. Man, I was addicted to the Quo.

[@PhilbyFavourites]

@Mark JT: Priceless. I had to Google the exact release date ‘73 (that made me 14 - we weren’t at the same 6th form parties...) but I reckon somewhere in the past you had an RAF greatcoat and an obscure album under your arm 😎😎😎 In the 70’s My mate John subjected me to Yes, ELP and that bloody awful King Crimson record. All I wanted was emotion lifting Quo rock. Thank you to Andertons for pulling me back into the best era for music ever. It'll be on the Apple CarPlay later today under the “Ahh the ‘70s Playlist”.

[@stevenmurphy9225]

On the live album in glasgow 1976

[@mariodriessen9740]

Steven Murphy ; That's the one!

[@groovedohg]

@ Mark JT. Back in the day it wasn't very cool if you liked Quo?? OK, I was around 12 or 13 in NZ when Caroline was released and remember hearing it for the first in a record store on headphones at full blast. Totally euphoric moment. My older brother intro'd me to Quo during Piledriver the year before and I was totally obsessed and let everyone know that. I actually lost interest in the band after In the Army Now came out in 1986. In their latter years You would see middle aged men over 50 bringing blow up guitars to their gigs and embarrassing themselves like the cliche uncles dancing at their nieces weddings. I think it's not very cool to admit you ARE a Quo fan in today's climate tbh.

[@thehound2161]

Just one of the tastiest sounds like with Top tier Tele's and two great amps. Me like. TY for your video's, they bring joy and knowledge in mass.

[@andertons]

Sometimes all that is needed are two custom shop tele's and some old school amps to crank up!! Glad you are enjoying the videos!

[@sakimiyu4169]

Crikey! Matt's upped his soloing game to the max since the Ultimate Blues Rig video! rock on boy!

Man...I love that band and I love that tone

[@GWRFan281]

Liked the video and I haven't even watched it yet. It was the Quo that got me into rock music... and Queen. A whole new world was then there to explore.

Literally some of the best tones you all have ever achieved.

[@danieldorasamy]

Every episode is like just watching Rabea and Matt doing a jam session.

[@JPT00]

Rabea hugging that marshall was a glorious sight

[@geoffsmith117]

both Parfitt (RIP) and Rossi use a Vox AC 30 in an isolation box mixed into the FOH. The Marshall stacks are for show and most of the cabs have lights in!

[@cgavin1]

The object of the video is to sell gear (obviously) but I don't understand why people with 'proper' amps need pedals. I'm getting old, but, 'too loud' is such snowflake horseshit. Yes, there is such a thing as too loud, as personified by every low rent gig you attend having no idea that after a certain point PA's turn to white noise and carrying on regardless. You know the ones, where you can't hear anything the singer is saying and the guitar channel sounds like a hairdryer set low. But. Any home player can tell you that if you run 20 or 30 watts in to a 2x12 or a 4x12 and push the power tubes by turning the master up to around 1/2 way, you 'plateau' in awesome tone around 90db. Which is only too loud if you stand right in front of it. Off-axis its absolutely fine. I do not have hearing loss or tinnitus after 30 years .. !

[@1530max]

Great stuff and great playing. What a band!

[@jamesdavies1179]

My friends dad used to Jamm with the quo years ago in a music hall in Cardiff he was a killer player who sadly passed away a couple of years ago.

[@craigpimlott204]

Rocking all over the world was written by John Fogerty of CCR .Quo covered it .❤❤Rossi’s green tele was originally sunburst .then he stripped it ,turned it black didn’t like it stripped it and painted it with Ronseal green wood paint /stain ,only did the front as he had to put it back together to gig it .so he never did the back .that’s why the back is still bare wood .and the edges are still black ..fun fact for you .❤❤

[@yoyoyuyu234476]

hé also drilled a hole in it, so go ahead guys and parfitt has a p90 in his tele

[@christianpowell4913]

I have a ‘79 25th Anniversary Strat that spent most of its life bouncing around the Caribbean as a house beater guitar in dive bar open jams that is thoroughly worn in and it has grime built around the frets just like on the custom shop that Rabea is playing. Probably the only time I’d be able to prove Rabea wrong about anything guitar related.

[@guywerry6614]

[@swan-senpai]

Of all the days, today Frame just sold his original Tele in an auction. It's so hard to sound like Status Quo now unless you spend an absolute fortune and get VOX's, Marshals and Tele's from the 60's cause the newer stuff just isn't the same. Then there is the matter of all the tweaks done to both tele's, not original picks ups or bridges, the size of the strings Rick used. Very tough job but you guys gave it a good go. Nice!! P.S. Matt should of been playing the Rockin' All Over the World solo :P

[@TomHenksYT]

Awesome rigs, those are some beautiful teles right there! One can only dream of this kind of gear. As far as sounding like Status Quo goes, you did quite well. The one thing I noticed is during Whatever You Want, Rabea's rig was missing a bit of that treble, which could probably be fixed easily by adjusting the EQ-200 and adding a bit of treble back in. Other than that, it sounded great!

[@monkzig]

Ty Tabor and the guitar tone from the first King's X!

[@ERWebster]

Never heard of Status Quo. Recognize almost all the riffs. XD

[@thewarhammerworkshop]

In terms of numbers of hits they're basically the most successful band ever yet no one knows who they are, it's so weird haha

I would love to see sound like The Cure or something like that late 80's darkwave . Cheers.

Trower on a budget of £1000 would probably consist of: Origin 20 (£329.00) Small Stone (£67.00) Squier Stratocaster Classic Vibe 70s (£329.00) Fulltone Fulldrive (£175.00) Vox 845 Wah (£59.00) TOTAL - £959
