Re: Status Quo

You quite right Daz- just googled it

Funny thing is when you type in Slaughter and the Dogs it leads you to a picture of some Chinese police actually slaughtering a dog !

Re: Status Quo

Was known as Mick Rossi earlier on ... saw them at Leeds Town Hall in 1973 or so .. Savoy Brown was support.

Re: Status Quo

Between 1970 and 76, a great band with several classic albums and songs. 1976-82, still good, but beginning to become formulaic (John Coghlan left in 81 because he didnt like the way the band was going).
1983-late 90's, poorer and poorer albums.

This decade they have been better. 2002's Heavy Traffic was a great album, their best in 20 years.

Re: Status Quo

I got into them a bit in the mid 1980s, bit not in a big way.

The Dad of a friend of mine at school was a big fan of them & tried to see them at least once on each tour.

Re: Status Quo

Quo are excellent live to this day, saw them last December in Cardiff and they were brilliant. 2 hours of non-stop riffage and they've still got plenty of energy. Plus more hits than you can shake a stick at.
