eastcoast 3,727 Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 A strange band. Very successful and loved by many people of course but always "uncool" for some reason. Some of the best intros and riffs throughout some of their songs but... always seems something missing. RIP. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You could always tell a quo song and they were catchy , were they to mainstream to be cool? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FOXHUNTER 5,020 Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 I loved my rock back in the 80s but the Quo were shite...hardly Motorhead or AC/DC couldnt stand there bland tunes which all sounded the same. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The 2 front men (memory not what it was) always came across as a bit strange. They knew that they were living the dream making millions of £s being in a rock band with adoring fans, but they knew that they were not accepted as a "proper" rock band and always seemed a bit pissed off about that. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
