rick great guy well missed we will never get any one like him again rip

[@billybobkingston5604]

Spud was a powerhouse of a drummer, drummers after him sound like a drum machine

[@RobertPaskulovich-fz1th]

Amazing !!!!!

[@johneyreguitar]

Thank you for these details.
I had no idea about anything that Quo did, although I suspected they were a very together band. I've continued writing weird solo guitar songs, but I think a little bit of the Quo vibe rubbed off on me. Lovely people

[@raykeeler6466]

At least the experience made him stop taking drugs. Not sure if he has drank since. Is the band still going?

[@pauljones9061]

Rick contradicts other versions of the reason John left, Rick always said he was playing card's with Alan when Ian Jones, the then tour manager told them John had gone home. They then went onto make their worst album

[@70AD-user45]

It was Alan who said he was playing backgammon with Rick and their tour manager said John had gone.

[@cmccormick6879]

I have always speculated that one of the reasons John was unhappy was the quality of the songs being mooted for 1982 - they weren’t good. Baffling that 1982 reached No 1.

[@cadelepski5161]

@@cmccormick6879 Because Quo fans bought it without hearing it as you did in those days. I bet you bought it. That's how it reached No1.

@@cadelepski5161 I didn’t. Not in 1982. It’s a rotter.

Porking the jeremy?..please explain in english!

[@jamesabbot-cole6814]

Think it's "have a wank."

[@Nyquest]

Rick loved his rhyming slang .. pork chop = cop … The Jeremy is “Jeremy Beadle = the needle . Meaning John would ‘cop the needle’ over certain things or ‘pork the Jeremy’ .. I had to ask him that & he told me

[@walkingtheboogie]

Funny how it gods. Dear John was ntohing to do with John leaving and yet it was rge next single after he left.

[@iainwhite3476]

What does talking to Jeremy mean?

[@leesloan8216]

it's not "talkin to Jeremy" he said " pork the Jeremy" it's rhyming slang for ' cop the needle' as in pork chop =cop Jeremy beadle = needle. Hope that helps

[@johncoopman1]

Lol, nope

[@alanstrom2221]

@@leesloan8216 That makes it even more confusing.
