The Quo are British rock royalty. Check out their beginnings with "Pictures of Matchstick Men", their most famous song "Rocking all over the World" and their softer side with "Rock'n' Roll". Much love from England 🏴

"Rock'n'Roll" is such a beautiful song...As is a lot of their stuff from the mid 1970s...It just shows how they, as a band (And a couple of writing partners), could and did write and perform such a wide array of music from the Heads Down, No Nonsense Boogie through to the more delicate and thoughtful stuff they shared with us all.

Hello, I am French, I am 47 years old and I loved this song that my father listened to with his turntable ... I often listen to it; it gives me energy, a fighting spirit; and the guitar: it’s too good. for a year this song has had an even greater impact on me since my father passed away: this song reminds me of him: sadness and pride mix.

Original synth driven version written & done by (Rob) Bolland & (Ferdi) Bolland. It was a big hit in European continent 1982, four years earlier. The Bolland version became sort of anthem for the demonstrations against nuclear missiles and generally anti war around that time particularly in the then West Germany. Bolland & Bolland also wrote & produced the hit "Rock Me Amadeus" for Falco.

This was such a shift from the Quo at the time that I think it caught everyone by surprise, so this was massive in the UK. It was short-lived though as they reverted to type. The later discovered fact that this was a cover of a Dutch band's original helps to explain it, but the fact they even wanted to cover it is fascinating.

Also please try out Marillion, who saved Prog into the 80s and are still very very strong and good. For a starter: Script for a Jester's Tear. Also Easter or Neverland would be great introductions to the band.

Status Quo were well known in the 70's as a British boogie rock band w/ the original line-up of: Francis Rossi (vocals/ lead guitar), Rick Parfitt (vocals/ rhythm guitar), Alan Lancaster (bass/ vocals) and John Coghlan (drums)... they were known as the 'Frantic Four'... Andy Bown (keyboards) joined by 1976. But after years of drug abuse and infighting... John Coghlan was out by 1981... Francis Rossi wanted out by 1983 and Status Quo did a 'farewell' tour into '84... However, Status Quo was asked to open Live Aid 1985, so they obliged w/ a tremendous opening set. Guitarist Rick Parfitt was so energized by the Live Aid response that he reached out to Francis Rossi about reuniting Status Quo in '85 and working on new music... Rossi agreed to return only if Alan Lancaster was fired. So, Parfitt brought in John 'Rhino' Edwards (bass) and Jeff Rich (drums) w/ Francis Rossi and Andy Bown returning... They released a new album 'In the army now' in 1986 and they were rejuvenated w/ a new, modern sound. This line-up carried on for years until drummer Jeff Rich quit by 2001... The original Status Quo (Rossi/ Parfitt/ Lancaster/ Coghlan) reunited in 2013/ '14 for the last time playing a few shows only. Sadly, Rick Parfitt passed away in late 2016 after years of alcohol abuse (R.I.P.) Original Quo bassist Alan Lancaster passed away in 2021 (R.I.P.) Francis Rossi is the only original member of Status Quo today w/ Andy Bown (keyboards), John 'Rhino' Edwards (bass), Richie Malone (guitar) and Leon Cave (drums).

They are (incredible)! Many knock Status Quo as being this simplistic 12 bar blues band - they are way more complicated than they first appear to be! Their music is well thought out, hooks you in and often deeper than you first realise. As a guitarist I say say quite honestly that their music is easy to pick up but hard to play properly! I loved Status Quo from being a little kid - in fact if they came on "Top of the Pops" I would always get up and dance! I still loved them as a teenager and they just went up a gear in the 80's. Please can you review "What You're Proposing" (and like many have suggested here) "Pictures of Matchstick Men" (which is VERY early Quo!). "Marguerita Time" + "The Wanderer" are good fun and I ❤"Living on an Island" (totally different!).

This is actually a cover song from the group Bolland and Bolland from the Netherlands. Their original version is almost the same. This song was a Continental European hit before the cover from Status Quo.

They did however have had success with it everywhere else, UK, USA, Australia etc.

Status Quo are known for their boogie Rock, I was luck enough to see Quo in my hometown of Oxford back in 2008 and OMG they were on amazing also that was my first and last time I was Rick playing with them. 😢 sorry I got something in my eye.

A watershed song for some Quo fans I'm afraid - new (at the time that was, now the longest serving) Bass player and a distinct move away from the 12 bar boogie format they had become so (in)famous for. Singles after this seemed to lack the crunchy bass of Down Down and Whatever You Want but became less formulaic as well. Since their loyal fans were named the Quo Army I'm sure many appreciated the tongue in cheek humour of being reassured they were In The (Quo) Army now.

Nothing beats 80's productions! It actually sounds waaay more modern than todays crap. More bass and more treble and depth and all.

I was between 6 and 7 when this came out, we were still in the cold war era, and in Europe, fear of a nuclear war was in everybody's head at the time. This video clip shook me back then, cause i knew maybe it was gonna be me one day.

These guys are still touring. Great Band. I agree with some others here, Pictures of Matchstick men was a good one.

*Here, it's the Video with BOLLAND & BOLLAND's Original-ANTI-WAR-text [Bolland & Bolland released their song in 1982]. Status Quo have done a new "In The Army Now"-Cover in 2010 with some much more PRO WAR-text lines changed. This here was their original Cover-Version from the year 1986.* 🎵🎸🥁🎹🎸🎵💿🎵🔊🔥🔥
