40 years for the Quo mate
And this is not in their defence concerning the 3-chord **** (well I spose it is really), but Im a pretty decent guitarist, and in the past Ive been able to learn other peoples songs by ear (Metallica, Pantera, Anthrax, Slayer, Megadeth, Foo Fighters to name a few) but if I go through Quos back catalogue - extensive as it is - I struggle to pick up most of it because of the intricate guitar work.
Believe it or not, but its true. Now Im not talking about commercial stuff like Rockin All Over The World (terrible song) or Whatever You Want or the like, but the album stuff. Which 99% of people who roll out the same old jibes have never heard. I would highly recommend picking up the On The Level, Quo, Hello, Piledriver, Whatever You Want and Never Too Late albums.
I know nobody is going to rush out and buy these, but honestly, you would be amazed at the amount of influence these albums have in todays guitar orientated bands. And the lack of 3-chord **** on there.....
I said I wouldnt bite at those jokes but I have. So now do me a favour, listen to these and THEN knock them for the same reasons, and I'll shut my mouth.
How very dare you! We boro fans love that song! my fav Quo song.
...Sherry aswell...
