Rick parfitt from status quo, just saw it announced on BBC news. What a greedy year.

super_furry · 24-12-2016 04:16PM

I don't like it, don't like it, don't like it, don't like it, don't like it, don't liiiiiiiike it.

Another Rocker bites the dust in 2016 :-(

deco nate · 24-12-2016 04:20PM

Oh no...

alchemist33 · 24-12-2016 04:22PM

I blame the status quo thread from yesterday. Murderin' bast**d!

Ah crap

DrumSteve · 24-12-2016 04:26PM

Goddammit

I love the Quo.

RIP Rick.

Richard Hillman · 24-12-2016 04:28PM

Very sad. He hasn't been well for a while after he started drinking again.

andekwarhola · 24-12-2016 04:30PM

Sad news. Down Down and What You're Proposing two of my best ever so called guilty pleasures.

padd b1975 · 24-12-2016 04:33PM

RIP.

Going to bash out a couple of power chords on the telecaster in his memory

LordSutch · 24-12-2016 04:35PM

Rick had officially retired from Status Quo in recent years due to heart problems. Its still a shock though.

corner of hells · 24-12-2016 04:36PM

I've said this before , is Beiber still alive ?

Summer wind · 24-12-2016 04:44PM

Sad news about Rick. I think he has fairly young children it'll be very tough for them. May he Rest In Peace.

Yes.

Made some good tunes recently to be fair to him

This is a bit weird after the "status quo" (generic whinge about Ireland) thread yesterday which people jokingly took to be about The Quo. :eek:

Pictures Of Matchstick Men is one of my all time favourite songs - an early single when they were psychedelia flavoured - then they said "Bollox to that" and went full-on pub rock.

Utterly brilliant song. Props to You're In The Army Now also (although that's a cover).

R.I.P. Rick - early age to go these days.

Dyr · 24-12-2016 04:52PM

Ah bollox. Was a massive quo fan when I was like 10 or so. Lots of happy memories of quo songs

infogiver · 24-12-2016 04:54PM

Quo gave fans good value for their money. Head banging rocknroll with no frills or gimmicks.
Sad for his young children and all his family and for Francis Rossi who mucked about with him for 50+ years. RIP.

Filmer Paradise · 24-12-2016 04:56PM

I could be wrong on this but I think Quo were one of the last bands to emerge from the '60s to have all their original members still living.

Till now of course.

RIP Rick. You & the band have left us some great music.

RayM · 24-12-2016 05:01PM

2016 just keeps going down, down, deeper and down.

24-12-2016 05:02PM

R.I.P., Rick. Thanks for the memories.

Stigura · 24-12-2016 05:02PM

The fat lady ain't even singing yet, people .........

Outlaw Pete · 24-12-2016 05:04PM

Damn it. Was some man for continuing on touring despite so many health set backs. As I said on the Gigs thread in the summer, he could easily be forgiven for hanging up the guitar for a more sedate life many many years ago, but didn't.

Only seen them once, on the In The Army Now tour back in the late 80's.. was a great gig.

Rest in peace.

24-12-2016 05:06PM

RIP.

Its been a real 'ch-ch-ch-changing' of the guard year (apologies for the Bowie reference).

Les Battersby will be devastated.

SEPT 23 1989 · 24-12-2016 05:06PM

Saw them in the RDS in 1988

Auld lad got free tickets

Great first time concert experience for a ten year old

Will never forget the noise of it

RIP

Ferrari3600 · 24-12-2016 05:22PM

Time to go looking for those favourite Spinal Tap clips on Youtube.
