The greatest live band of the 70'S seen them all including Zep , Purple , ACDC nobody came close. People See Them as pretty limited but ACDC have produced the same album all there career. Listen to 4500 from the hello album one of the greatest tracks ever put down on record. Long live the QUO
My Rick Parfitt Telecaster was my first ever electric guitar and to this day is my pride and joy and one of my favourite guitars to play. i don't get to play it on stage much anymore because it is a bit beaten up (16 years of heavy use will do that) but every so often I bust it out and still use it regularly for recording.
thank you so much for this, as a long life quo fan, ive been going to see quo nearly every year since i was 6 with my dad and my brother, and im now 25, so that a fair few shows, ive always loved them no matter what, and now ive just gotten in from work to see youve done this, thank you, loving it!
Epic. This takes me waaaaay back to my very beginnings on guitar. Me and my mate across the street started our first band doing Quo covers because both our parents had loads of Quo albums and we knew the songs. Great show guys
Whatever you want has to be up there in opening riffs. I was lucky enough to have supported Quo a few years back and was literally a few feet away from Rick doing this. Amazing sound and an amazing band!
Great stuff guys. Just a quick tip (uh oh...old Quo fan alert), Rick often preferred to play bar chords using the bass string for the root note (much meatier), whilst Francis' rhythm is in a somewhat "looser" style. The two together created that typical Quo sound. It was funny watching you choose the guitars - Rick once said that his '65 Tele cost him the price of a ham sandwich ;) Also, just a fun fact, Francis' '57 Tele wasn't green to start with. He sanded all the paint off and started to put a green primer on but after (roughly) doing the top he got bored and left it! Classic! ;) Anyway, great job guys and excellent playing (great rythm and lead) - very authentic, and this is coming from a die-hard Quo fan! :)
Ruiseart Alcorn Almost correct, he didn't get bored, he had a gig to go to a gig, there is some question as to whether it is a 1957, some say it's a 1959, because it's a maple cap neck! And it was originally sunburst. Inither case it sounds awesome. Rick's is 1965 he bought it in Glasgow in 74' he'd had the bridge changed to a bad ass bridge about 1975/76
Rick also used heavy gauge strings 56 on the bottom E. The Caroline riff was with the root note on the bass string. F above the octave. Only way to replicate that sound is like that. Most people get it wrong.
Good job guys. Saw quo in the early 70s at Hammersmith Odeon. They had a cliff face of Marshall cabs and amps on both sides of the stage at full volume. I was deaf for three days afterwards. All I could hear was ringing in my ears :)

Bea & Matt, you truly have made a simple man from a far away land happy. Quo is my childhood and by far my most loved band in the entire world, and being from a newer generation, I almost never hear anyone talking about them. This video absolutely took me by supprise, and hearing all these old tunes immediately sent me way back to a simpler time. You very literally brought a tear to my eye. Thank you
YESS! AT LAST! And you did a great job of it too guys - good ol' rock 'n' roll that makes you grin from ear to ear and gets your head bouncing up and down! Cheered my day up no end.
I love this show and really appreciate Status Quo, while not a huge fan of the band, they represent a nice spot on the full spectrum of guitar based music that I thank you guys for including. It doesn't always have to be metal, blues, heavy rock. Now on to Radiohead and My Bloody Valentine; both of which, would be great challenges.
wow u guys really got such good tones out of that rig. Phenomenal playing guys, awesome clean tones and Matt really had such a good rhythm tone. Hats off to Mathews.
Nice to see a tribute like this to Quo. Well done guys. Only thing I would add in is that this is more how Quos "studio sound" was. Clean-ish. Maybe that was the goal. But live they never really were this clean. Anyway great job! :)
Finally, some standard tele's. I love the combination of a Tele with a VOX AC 30, so I bought a Tele and a 30 something (which I didn't know existed until I saw your show). Classic sound guys, you did it again!
Hey guys! I really enjoyed this video! Please do these videos in the future: 1. Jerry Cantrell by busting the bank 2. Slash on 500£ 3. Kirk Hammett by busting the bank 4.

Made me smile this one. Great guitars and sound. Two really good players Rabea and Matt. However it just shows how good the boys from The Quo actually were/are
Hats off to you guys you really nailed this one and the Mimiq pedal sounds awesome on that lead!! You guys fancy trying Yngwie Malmsteen since I'm going to see him in August!! I FEEL THE RISING FORCE!
First of all, this video introduced me to a new amazing band, so thanks guys!! Second of all, re: Lee's message at the end, I love that idea of splitting up the videos on separate channels!! It will make navigation much easier when finding videos of different genres to watch! Great idea!
Oh...you gents are getting SO CLOSE. PLEASE do Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers!! They are almost the Quo of America... Glad to see a return to the Marshall DSL series for this video. The 15 and the AC15 sounded fantastic together and those TELES! Nice to see you guys share my weakness for Olympic White and any shade of Blue guitar. I'd have em both if my quota for Teles wasn't already filled. Well, if you do decide to do TP and the Heartbreakers there are a LOT of nice Olympic White Strats out there to go with that Blue Tele!!(And dont forget a nice White Falcon if you do a BY busting the bank...)

Btw, have an interesting guitar duo. 4)Motorhead - 'And the justice for Bass' =) 5)Devin Townsend - 'GearWhore on a budget'! Good luck, guys!
I was'nt expecting Quo and well played Guys..... em what about the first Stratocaster player in Britain Hank Marvin....... Come on Guy's I know It's a difficult challenge but I think you do it!
early Bloc Party telecasters hot rod deluxes dd-3s and dd-6s and then various fuzzes and distortions, would be a great episode actually they'd have most of the gear at the shop fairly cheap. The latter bloc party stuff is a bit harder
Do kids today really want to sound like the Quo? I enjoyed it though, Quo were a gateway band for me as a kid leading to Zep, Floyd and Purple so they did good! 😎🎸
It always amazes me how hard it is to get a Brian May tone considering the fairly basic set up (on the surface). But it's all the tiny little things brian does, from the setup of his amps to his playing style that make that sound his. I would love to see them try though.
HELLO GUYS. I am a French huge fan of your videos, specially "sound like" that help me building my pedal board. I have one challenge for you guys: why don't you listen to a band you've never heard of (e.g. I know French bands are not traveling well in your country) just listen to a few songs and try to guess and mimic the equipment they're using. call it the "sound guess". what do you say? try this one for a start : a band called "telephone" songs "argent trop cher" or "hygiaphone" (old band from the late 70's-80's) I love you guys, please keep going!!
I must be out of the loop, living on the west coast of the USA .........hadn't even thought of Status Quo since " Pictures of Matchstick Men" in the 60's ........didn't even know they had covered John Fogerty.............
@@kentishmale1969 I grew up in the middle east and got the best music of both worlds. I was listening to both Status Quo and Van Halen before I hit my teens.
Fantastic! What about more Quo. Some of the cracking track off their 1970s albums would be something else. 4500 times, roll over lay down, that sort of thing
This definitely was a kickass old school rock sound. I love that you guys used the AC-15 (because I have one, and I LOVE my amp!). Just so people know... those AC-15s aren't always as treble-ly as it appears in the video. They are very full sounding amps and are incredibly versatile. I've played everything from glassy delayed cleans right through to heavy driven rock and it never once falters in sound. Best amp for the bucks in my opinion. :)
Not really a Quo fan but I've gotta say there's nothing quite like the sound of gunned Marshal. Love pedals and all the variety they can bring but there's something so pure and exciting about this setup that makes it really powerful!
Awesome video as usual!! +andertons Music Co you really should do a Tom Merallo by busting the bank, and a Deftones by busting the bank!! Greetings from Belgium!!! Can't wait to watch the next video!!
Good job on this one guys, Status Quo don't have a complex tone but its one rooted in 70s gear so its easy to overdo the gain and such with modern gear but this sounded great, didn't realise the DSL's clean channel could do that edge of breakup classic Marshall tone (I don't think the older JCM2000 DSLs could).
My only criticism is that with your remaining budgets you could of covered early Status Quo with the wahs, fuzzes and phasers like When My Mind is Not Live and Pictures Of Matchstick Men and songs of Spare Parts like Face Without A Soul which is fuzz central. Not what they were huge for but cool songs.
Ricks white strat was a ‘62 - beautiful sounding guitar, had the springs and everything taken off the guitar too so the strings go straight through the guitar! Wrap around job basically 14/56 gauge strings too! Crazy to think he played hours every night on those strings!
Absolutely brilliant, love the way you get the sound and playing very accurate. Would it be possible to still get the quo sound using a smaller amp, still using the pedals as you explained, I mean does the larger amp just provide volume, or is it necessary?
If you're going really classic Quo, you're also talking Sound City. Francis Rossi used a Sound City amp on the earlier classic era Quo albums. There are some Marshall emulator pedals out there that can help you get a Quo-like sound. The Tech21 British and its Joyo copy will give you a bit more of the trebly side of a Marshall like tone if you turn the character/voice knob to the left, and adjust the other controls to fit. So the tone is fairly achievable to anyone with a decent single coil and a decent Marshally dirt box.
The greatest live band of the 70'S seen them all including Zep , Purple , ACDC nobody came close. People See Them as pretty limited but ACDC have produced the same album all there career. Listen to 4500 from the hello album one of the greatest tracks ever put down on record. Long live the QUO

Excellent stuff. Love Quo. Appreciate you exposing the younger audience to quality straight rock n roll boogie.
Sound like EVH, Joe Bonamassa or Eric Johnson :))
yes to Eric Johnson
Thomas Højberg Bonamassa would be an interesting challenge due to the crazy amount of vintage gear (And just the variety in his rig) that he uses
Thomas Højberg yes to joe bonamassa!!
My first rock concert was Quo in the mid 70's at Festival Hall in Brisbane Australia. They had the biggest rig in the world at the time using about 17 semi-trailers to haul it around. No noise restrictions back then and the music shook your whole body as it passed through you, it felt great :) My ears didn't stop ringing for 2 days though :-0 Nice video well done.
Sounds like Robert Fripp.
I'd say for this a Katana 100 to perhaps model his Roland Jazz Chorus. That or a British sounding amp for his Hi-Watts. Then a single cut guitar, maybe a PRS SE 245 or an Epiphone. Then a big muff style pedal of some sort, a delay and perhaps a low gain drive instead of solid state gain. Maybe a synth pedal of some sort as well but his sound is very distinctive and would involve a MIDI pickup so eh probably not
Also Radiohead, Primus, Fu Manchu, Free, Jeff Beck, Bloc Party and At The Drive-In.
Thanks for your work!
My list is not important, but I think it could be interesting:
1)Queen - possibly p90s or "fat"-sounding singles, like on new Bea's strat.
2)Periphery - These guys' stuff is expensive! So, mayby u could take a challenge and... deal w/ pickups =)
3)Nothing But Thieves - 1 of my favourite bands. Keep my mind working after brain'melting ProgMetal. Btw, have an interesting guitar duo.
4)Motorhead - 'And the justice for Bass' =)
5)Devin Townsend - 'GearWhore on a budget'!
Good luck, guys!
Great sounds! Proof that everyone needs a Telecaster in their collection!
You not only nailed the sound, you also played them spot on fellas. Take it from a Quo fan. Well done.
I was'nt expecting Quo and well played Guys..... em what about the first Stratocaster player in Britain Hank Marvin....... Come on Guy's I know It's a difficult challenge but I think you do it!
Buddy Holly played his strat in the U K before Cliff got the one Hank used
Loved the Rocking all over the World solo. Great job
Sound like Muse, Royal Blood BY busting the bank
You guys nailed it, great job!
Smashing pumpkins!!
Me too. It's just amazing and pulse is increasing immediately if I hear these riffs!
Possibly the best one yet and im not even a quo fan! I want a tele and this didnt help the matter
Been waiting for quo for so long. Brilliant band, brilliant video.
Status Quo opening up LiveAid
grab an amp grab a guitar 12 bar blues and there you go lol
managed to see Status Quo the last electric tour they did in the UK, fantastic live
Sound like Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple/Rainbow. Either era
omg yessss ive been waiting sooo long for this
Sound like Bloc Party / Franz Ferdinand

My favourite sounds like so far! so close sound wise!
Sound like Beatles

c'mon, it wasn't that bad.
James Wright I'd rather have cancer than listen to the beatles and thats coming from a cancer survivor
Lukestersim :3 hey man you may want to spell it right first hey
Lukestersim :3 thats a bit fucking extreme, be sure not to cut yourself on that edge man
LOVE the bloopers at the end! ;)
sound like brian may
Dror Sefer Cohen Considering Brian's gear (down to the six pence) and how unusual it is it would be a very cool thing to see. Can the boys get close?

Sound like Gojira would be fun
xXBantamCatXx EVH + Charvel/Jackson, pretty straight forward actually..
They don't have a lot of stuff so it wouldn't be too hard. For effects a OD and a Whammy for the lead player and that's about it.

Start at piledriver and go through to never to late the best era.
WHAT
joy of Quo is listen to one song and you've heard them all lol
@@pauljameskenney2955 that's discrimination
Yay! Thanks, I've been asking for ages for this!
Can we get a 'Sound Like Scott Ian of Anthrax'?
That blue tele has a 22 fret neck. Do MIM telecasters now have 22 frets? Thought they were only 21 fret?
sound like coheed and Cambria
Coheed and Cambria would be awesome.
Josh Berg yesss, I've been asking for this forever
Really enjoyed this one. Sounded great. Tele + tube amp and a couple pedals is my kind of rig.
You sure that wasn't a Fender Stratocaster in arctic white?
SporkMartial ....maybe a Mustang in Vintage White
Rick Parfitt played with 15 gauge strings....have you got some of those? And a phaser on Rain .... Love this.
Guys, this was fucking epic. Sounds great, i love quo!
This definitely was a kickass old school rock sound. I love that you guys used the AC-15 (because I have one, and I LOVE my amp!). Just so people know... those AC-15s aren't always as treble-ly as it appears in the video. They are very full sounding amps and are incredibly versatile. I've played everything from glassy delayed cleans right through to heavy driven rock and it never once falters in sound. Best amp for the bucks in my opinion. :)
RIP the tag 6:39
TreyWLP he RIPped the tag!
Not really a Quo fan but I've gotta say there's nothing quite like the sound of gunned Marshal. Love pedals and all the variety they can bring but there's something so pure and exciting about this setup that makes it really powerful!
Early Dead Kennedys, please.
I have a vox ac15 and run a Baja tele through it.some slap back delays, a boost and some verb and trem. It's honestly sonic bliss to my ears.
sound like metallica by busting the bank
David Kerns they made that video
they made one "without busting the bank"
Awesome video as usual!!
+andertons Music Co you really should do a Tom Merallo by busting the bank, and a Deftones by busting the bank!!
Greetings from Belgium!!!
Can't wait to watch the next video!!
Foals or Radiohead next pleas. I can do in peace after these
Good job on this one guys, Status Quo don't have a complex tone but its one rooted in 70s gear so its easy to overdo the gain and such with modern gear but this sounded great, didn't realise the DSL's clean channel could do that edge of breakup classic Marshall tone (I don't think the older JCM2000 DSLs could).
My only criticism is that with your remaining budgets you could of covered early Status Quo with the wahs, fuzzes and phasers like When My Mind is Not Live and Pictures Of Matchstick Men and songs of Spare Parts like Face Without A Soul which is fuzz central. Not what they were huge for but cool songs.
Sound like the legendary Paul kossoff from free
TR10Plays no one could sound like Koss, only the man himself could....my all-time favourite guitarist :)
Keef Bea would do a great job of it though!!!
TR10Plays not enough love for kossof so let's do this!!
Well done lads..took me back 35 years...great stuff! Rick P RIP.
Sound like classic deep purple.
Nailed it!
Matt I have that exact tele, try it sometime with ac15hw with blue. AWESOME!
Oh man, you are playing Caroline so wrong!!!!!
Andy nobody will ever come close to Rick!
They also have to watch out for copyright claimers so they do need to change it slightly
Says the expert
@@ryanmcquitty5604 it's a variation.
@@gileskerr2297 Go check Rick Parfitt's lick library on you tube, and see how it is meant to be played. Then try not to criticise from ignorance.
Had never heard of Status Quo. But great great playing guys. Enjoyed it as always. Damn I love me some tele.
status. Now its time for slade. Feel the noize!!!
Tommy Andersson oh yes - a very much underrated heavy rock sound!!
Ricks white strat was a ‘62 - beautiful sounding guitar, had the springs and everything taken off the guitar too so the strings go straight through the guitar! Wrap around job basically
14/56 gauge strings too! Crazy to think he played hours every night on those strings!
Sound like Eric Johnson, both by busting the bank and without busting.
Absolutely brilliant, love the way you get the sound and playing very accurate.
Would it be possible to still get the quo sound using a smaller amp, still using the pedals as you explained, I mean does the larger amp just provide volume, or is it necessary?
You need to do the Beatles
Ioan Will
Rabea's Tele looks like an American Special rather than a Mexican Standard. It also sounds like one. Are you sure it's definitely Mexican?
do sounds like Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
If you're going really classic Quo, you're also talking Sound City. Francis Rossi used a Sound City amp on the earlier classic era Quo albums. There are some Marshall emulator pedals out there that can help you get a Quo-like sound. The Tech21 British and its Joyo copy will give you a bit more of the trebly side of a Marshall like tone if you turn the character/voice knob to the left, and adjust the other controls to fit. So the tone is fairly achievable to anyone with a decent single coil and a decent Marshally dirt box.
