      But it was crap what they said about ripping jeans and muddying plimsolls.
      All they did was grow their hair and start wearing denim & tee shirts.

      @@CB-xr1eg yep, and they were no 'rebel' pioneers either. They just followed the trends. In 1969, it all went like that. They were copycats. They do the road house boogie nicely though, and this song and another around the period, have nice melodic bits in the middle. Oh..and Pictures of Matchstick men is a gem.

    Saw them at Hammersmith in 85, their 25th anniversary. I screamed my throat raw for this tune from the first row of the balcony between songs (even though they'd play it anyway) I swear Parfitt pointed to me and launched into it. They're a hit jukebox sort of band, but as a 16yo that was a cool moment.

      @dirtyharry3160 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Nah, that;s not the reason. Rossi just skips the words because that bit it's too high for his voice these days. Quo still plays this song in the same key as on the record when they all were much younger. Your voice lowers with the years going by.

      How does that work? Rick took it for granted. John was simply not a good musician and Alan tried to take charge, wrote awful songs (Big Man!) and then tried to continue without Francis. Francis took the band, got the ball rolling and delivered over 30 yrs of good rock music. I think I'll still with his ego.

    It has now been transformed into the most annoying advertising jungle in Australian history for one of the two mega supermarket chains called Coles.
    “Down, down, prices are down. Down, down, prices are down.”
    Until they stopped using it they tortured staff by playing it continuously in their stores.

      Why should he? His death is the past and he clearly prefers to look to the future. Perhaps it upsets him more. Perhaps he doesn't want to mention Rick's selfishness in his lifestyle, which eventually killed him.
