Status Quo; Rick Parfitt Tribute, 1948 - 2016

[@iainwhite3476]

Who the hell clicks on a Quo channel about Rick’s sad demise and gives it a thumbs down?? Disgraceful 😖 he rocked he rocks on

[@jurgenfoerstermann5293]

❤

[@micksmusicchannel]

Rick absolutely rocked

[@gerardjerry4637]

One of the most underrated true Rock and Roll bands

[@diterkalla3725]

Niedocenianych??? Człowieku, oni są fundamentem tradycyjnego rock'n'rolla!!! Najlepsi i wiekopomni!!!!

[@yvoheaton6402]

Never be in any doubt that Quo are one of the best rehearsed bands you will have ever seen. Top of their game and true pros....

[@hsbrockman]

Completely agree. Years ago I took a musician to a SQ concert even though they professed not to like Quo's music. But they were dead impressed with how well-rehearsed the boys were, and how Rick and Francis sang absolutely pitch perfectly in tune while playing their instruments at the same time.

[@thelittlethingsinlife239]

RIP Rick and Alan.. Rossi's Quo is a shadow of what Quo was

[@micawber0245]

Deeply admire this man, not for his lifestyle, but for his personality and musical talent. After having been thru 3 heart attacks, alcohol and drug problems, 2 divorces and the death of his daughter, he kept going. The cause of his death was ridiculous. A fucking infection. Miss you Ricky, rock on.

[@ellenr.3409]

The alcohol and drug problems as well as the strokes of fate were surely also a reason for the later illness.

[@hughwilson8251]

What a fitting tribute to Rick, The best Rhythm guitarists we have ever seen and a lovely man. I was lucky enough to meet him. gone but never forgotten Rick R.I.P

[@dragoncomber]

6 years! What a voice, what a talent. RIP

[@quolenny]

THIS IS AWESOME! This is why i loved Status Quo my whole life and always will! RIP Ricky...you are deeply missed!

[@ErickGervais-ud9kp]

I love this band so much. R.I.P Dear Ricky, we all love you so much. Thanks for everything.

[@piledriverpotter9847]

Rick was put on this earth to be in Quo but was devastatingly taken away from us too young. RIP(Rock in peace) Rick.

[@FATBAZ01]

Another rocker gone too early. Always loved the band and the sense of rock mixed with absolute fun. Always professional and entertaining. A great loss and the younguns will miss out on the great character who is Rick.... Bless and love ya Rick.......

[@markosbientos9287]

Gutted. The best rhythm guitarist has left the stage. R.I.P Rick, thanks for many years of great songs. I still have the 1984 End of the road tour jacket in my wardrobe! Play on in the great unknown mate.

[@ntsms69]

How can anyone not like, respect and admire Rick?? A 'Rock Legend'. Great to see at the start of this video the original Telecasters, 'TRUE WORKHORSES!. We all miss Ricks unsurpassed contribution to pure and simple 'engine room' rhythm anthems. Met the guys on a number of occasions.

[@peer6038]

Rest in peace my friend, I'm 55 years old and you and your friends in Status have followed me for 45 years of my life. See you soon. Greetings from a fan in Sweden

[@Hotasigva]

Status Quo, always the first band I think of when I think hard rock. Theres no fuzz, just jeans, tshirt or a shirt. Beer and 100% hard rock without experimentations or funny business. Rock on in the afterlife Rick Parfitt \m/

[@cristobaljimenez3338]

Descanse en paz, un grande, parte de la música que me acompaña durante mi vida. Rick Parfitt, gracias por tus acordes de guitarra, banda sonora de la vida de muchos de nosotros, tus notas seguirán resonando a lo largo del tiempo

[@sparx550]

I’m an aging old punk but I had always had time for quo, they just knocked it out of the park. If you don’t move to their music then your dead.

[@geoffemery3994]

Had some the best times of my life listening and watching QUO . Rick was a great rhythm guitarist . RIP. Never forget you .

[@nickabbott7175]

I was honoured to have seen these guys live several times! You never left a Quo concert without a smile on your face! Heaven will be rocking now! RIP Rick!

[@majortom333]

That´s right: you never left a Quo Concert without a smile on your face ! ! !

[@Tapperje16]

[@PiggyPro4046]

Got I miss Rick

[@LisaFransenFVD]

​@@Tapperje16 Ik ook!

[@LisaFransenFVD]

Since I became a fan I didn't want to miss a gig of them and everytime I couldn't hold back my tears when they entered the stage❤ I've met them in Austria before the gig in a shopping centre and after that gig I was able to meet, hold en have a photo taken with Parfitt ❤

[@seancook1965]

Rick was my idol, the heart and soul of Quo. Sadly missed.

[@Glenrsi]

Quo is not Quo anymore, without Rick.

[@bobolsen8067]

And a great singer!A lot of people forget that.Rick had a lot of power in his voice and it was original!

[@cometblazt]

A legend through and through. We love you Rick we miss you, Rock on in heaven brother!!!

[@petewilson44]

30 years ago at the age of 8, I made myself a cardboard guitar from old boxes and stuck pieces of string to it with sticky tape. I had no idea really what I was doing but luckily my dad recognised my first love. It was a white telecaster with black pick guard and that paved the way for a lifelong romance with the guitar, but more importantly, with Status Quo. My dad took me to see them about 10 times over the years and it's some of my fondest memories. Rick Parfitt was my hero. The self-proclaimed 'engine room' of the band it's impossible not to nod your head whilst watching him. I had no idea what I was watching was not just special, but also so precious. I feel blessed to have been able to stand so close to him at such a young age and feel the vibrations of the loudest possible experience on earth! I'll never forget Rick going and fetching Fran to come and watch this 10 year old boy jump up and down amongst a sea of older guys, only for them both to acknowledge me whilst they rocked my whole world. Thank you Rick and Quo. I am forever grateful and I look forward to introducing my young son to your music for years to come x

[@outmatrix8881]

R,I,P., Rick. You are not entirely dead, We'll be playing your music and keeping you in our minds!

[@thijsthijsvanooijen1990]

Rick I´ll never forget you and your great guitarplay

[@mateuszrozmus9418]

Status Quo is an universal band. It doesn't matter if they are playing "Pictures", "Caroline" or "Whatever You Want", "Oriental", "Two Way Traffic"... the sound is always fucking fresh and pure from '60 till now, they will never get old. I miss Rick, but he is alive in the music, in our memories and hearts. Quo is Dead, Long Live Quo!!!

[@pariscortez3020]

Rick Parfitt the Legend of Status Quo. The best rhythm guitarist ever and boogie king! R.I.P. Rick - Rock on in heaven... LONG LIVE STATUS QUO!

[@azure1259]

As a little kid in the 80 I used love rocking out watching Francis and Rick with double denim and double guitar moves, later I mistakenly thought I was too cool for Quo, and me and a mate of mine as teens even mockingly sang Rocking All Over the World to Rick when we encountered him one day in Kingston high street, he quickly scuttled away. What an idiot I was, I had to chance to meet the great Rick Parfitt and I thought I was too cool. For what's it's worth as a grown man I realise what I chance I squandered to thank Rick for being so awesome over the years. so I'm doing it now, thanks Rick, you were one of the very best.

[@clairepearce2722]

So sad when he died Been a Quo fan for 50 yrs always will be... RIP Rick...

[@petedazer3381]

Mid 70’s Michigan palace theater! Three bands, five bucks! Rush, Kansas and Status Quo! Very next week, Heart, Kansas and Status Quo! These guys came out with no fanfare, almost completely unknown to Detroit , in front of a beat up wall of Sound City amps! Forever changed my life! Thank you fellas!

[@niznaz101]

Amazing Rick.... RIP So SAD !!! :-(

[@HopliteWarlord]

Another piece of my youth gone!! RIP Rick Parfitt, thanks for the many memories of me playing a mean air guitar to Quo's music in my teens!

[@philkearney0577]

So glad I had the pleasure of seeing him live on many occasions,a true rocker from the old school,God rest Rick x

[@hansmertens7006]

Still missing you Rick. Hans Mertens

[@sarahcatford6774]

I have always and will always love Status Quo!!! (thanks Dad!!)

[@chrisport57]

I feel the exact same way my old man was gutted.

[@MrGarytc]

Status Quo really turned it on when they were in their prime. When a great band loses such an iconic member like Rick Parfitt maybe it is time to call it a day out of a mark of respect.

[@norfolkacallinnorth7443]

Thanks for years of fun,go rock where you are now.

[@purplesteve2]

Was there ever a better rhythm guitarist? I think not! God Bless Rick and thank you!!!!!

[@TheGodParticle]

My hero, a true legend, missing you rick.

[@crohembernard7092]

[@mehfeld]

Ich Liebe " Status Quo" und es tut mir verdammt weh das "Rick" unter den ewigen Geistern gegangen ist. Aber ich werde immer Fan bleiben...und ihr hoff ich auch

[@johnnybelanda9854]

You were always my rock and roll hero Rick. Thank you for all those beautiful years, will never forget you. Status Quo was my favourite band and that will never change. RIP Rick

[@gerardbarker3833]

God bless carry on rockin in heaven, thanks for the 50 or so times i saw you live gone way to soon but your music will stay with us for ever.

[@mariaangustiastrujillo9342]

Rick Parfitt is an essential member of the group that has given me and my husband the best rock moments. We still continue to enjoy his classic albums today from Spain we tell you, rest in peace man ..

[@filipushendrotanojo707]

Goodbye Rick...I'm still enjoying listening to rockin' sound of Status Quo...thank's Rick...

[@chrisc6504]

[@augustus4047]

We are the Quo Armyo We're not cool We've never been cool We'll never try to be cool Just take three chords, twelve bars and PLAY IT LOUD Goodbye Rick - you will be missed

[@williwulff8260]

Quo4ever.... RIP Rick Parfitt, we lost again one of the best

[@hoarebaguk4eva]

The End of the road tour medley in the middle is immense. Jesus they could rock. Gonna be missed.

[@ianh1263]

Status Quo. THE reason I started playing the electric guitar 40 years ago. Rick Parfitt was amazing. Singing and playing some of the stuff he did is so difficult. He made it look easy. The Mystery Song for example - to sing and play what he plays at the same time is so hard. Whatever You Want as well. Fucking genius.

[@MarkJones-dg4gn]

legend, never forget my first concert Hammersmith Odeon 1980, Rick strumming out Caroline to start the show, awesome!

[@scotchgod8478]

Rick and Lemmy rocking heaven together RiP

[@pariscortez3020]

STATUS QUO FOREVER! RICK PARFITT - The Rhythm Master of the Telecaster! Thanks, Rick, for the great music! Thanks, for "Over AND OUT" 23.03.2018! WONDERFUL!!! You are the best! RIP, Rick, Rock on in heaven!

[@derekstocker6661]

Great video, well done on this glimpse of the guys, RIP Rick and Alan too.

[@donwatson2741]

Just seems like yesterday!!!RIP Rick,thanks for 40 odd yrs of great music.

[@myjames48]

Try 50 !!!

[@keithschaner4132]

James George Coke

[@CB-xr1eg]

54 I think.

[@myjames48]

Clive Bindley as Status Quo I think its 50. Stand for correction.

[@CB-xr1eg]

They became The Status Quo in 1967 then Status Quo in 1969. So you're about right...you get a cuddly toy!

[@СергейЩербаков-к5я]

Как же мы балдели от Статусов в 70-е ! Как по мне, свою вершину, альбом "Quo" с обложкой, на которой они изображены в виде то ли дерева, то ли переплетенного клубка змей, они так и не превзошли. Рик, ты навеки останешься в нашей памяти.

[@hobbyable1]

Gone but not forgotten, RIP Rick, now part of the best house band in the sky.

[@robertdavies6814]

RICKS SOUND AND STYLE,LIVE WRECKED ME,BACK A FEW YRS, AGO IN.MOTORPOINT ARENA,CARDIFF.IT WAS BETTER THAN I EXPECTED,AFTER 30 ODD YRS.ROCK ON QUO.GOOD LUCK.CARDIFF LOVES YOU ALL!!!

[@1sst834]

Life is fragile sometimes. May you bee rocking all over heaven till eternity.

[@PurpleInTheDeep]

Rest in Peace, Rick! Fantastic riffs and voice! I saw the Quo live about 4 years ago, it was amazing and I'll never forget that experience! The truth is that in 2016, we lost not only Rick Parfitt, but many other greats: Keith Emerson, Greg Lake, David Bowie just to name a few. May they all Rock in heaven!

[@bobthearchitect619]

I am from New York and just got into Quo about a year ago. I was hooked instantly and can't get enough of them. I just got a Telecaster a few weeks ago because of how Rick Parfitt sounded. It's very sad that we've lost him, but great to know I can always watch him doing his thing here on KZbin!

[@vstatusquo]

where ya been they been around for years lol

[@loscrimefighter1899]

Doesn't matter, your here now. I am jealous of all the great rock n' roll your about to discover. RIP Rick, thank you for a lifetime of great music......

[@jeremylloyds9301]

Rick Parfitt. RIP. I have read some of the the comments. Come on people. 50 years of music that millions loved and made you HAPPY every time you listened. Supposedly a Rock Band that only knew 3 chords!!!!!!! you are having a Laugh!!! One of the Greatest Bands ever, because they have been there for 50, YES 50 years which can't be THAT BAD.!!!!! Ricki Parfitt you Beauty. Love you and the world of MUSIC will miss YOU. Thanks for the wonderful memories. Will always listen to the MUSIC as long as I live. My heartfelt sympathy to his Family and the his Friends at SQ.

[@Federer935]

Rick has the heart and soul of real rock music. Sadly it is missing from today's crap - all noise and screaming or mumbling - no real soul - today's musicians should learn from him and bring back real music! Thanks for the legacy Rick - let's hope it didn't die with you.

[@erickrull2121]

Mr. Parfitt, you are sorely missed.

[@robertnicklin2183]

RIP. Pure Rock and Roll life. Big influence and thanks for all the musical contributions.

[@moonstonejohn]

fantastic rick .... R.I.P.

[@kevp7309]

A true legend

[@rumoursduo]

In all the live videos of Quo playing Caroline, here & elsewhere, Rick's Tele sounds kind of soft in the mix. Seeing them live was a whole different story - that guitar riff hit you like a sledgehammer. Rick was one almighty good guitarist, I think that gets overlooked sometimes. We miss you Rick. Cheers!

[@JamesPheonix89]

Live there guitars leave your ears ringing , seen them twice amazing experience, check out live version of Caroline on KZbin just doing it live 2006 and download 2014, good mix sound, I think anyway.

[@davidjackson6590]

Saw Quo at the top of there game back in the day along with other rock giants like Slade the Who and Purple say no more. The best of live rock bands that will be no more or equalled. So sad at Ricks passing Quo and the rock world have lost one of the best ever never to be replaced. Life is sadly catching up with so many of our hero's but Eternal youth will never die. Rock on and God be with you Rick in eternity.✌
