My Mum never walked away from a Staus Quo gig - she was in a wheelchair. Last gig she went to she was well into her 80s. I went along as 'escort' and was utterly converted by the end of it!
In the UK everyone over a certain age likes the Quo. They started in the 1960s and my dad would play their music and sing along when I was a kid. Leaves an ever lasting good memory. My favourite is Down the dust pipe.
OMG, ANDY I FIRST HEARD " DOWN THE DUSTPIPE " IN 1970 WHEN I WENT TO A MATES 9TH BIRTHDAY PARTY. MY MATE GOT AN ALBUM CALLED '20 RED HOT HITS', WHICH WAS A COMPILATION OF HIT SONGS OF THAT YEAR, 1970. TRACK 3 ON SIDE 2 WAS 'DOWN THE DUSTPIPE' by STATUS QUO. ANDY, I PLAYED 'DOWN THE DUSTPIPE' 4 or 5 TIMES UNTIL SOMEBODY STOPPED ME. 'DOWN THE DUSTPIPE' IS 2 MINUTES OF BOOGIE BLISS. LOVE IT WITH A PASSION.
Being English and old, i got to see the mighty Quo many times live, they were always on the road. Ultimate "bouncy" music, no frills good time rock n roll. The world needs more of this genre, music can just be fun!!
Grew up with this band. Saw them in LA at the house of blues On sunset before it closed. It was packed! The next day they played in front of 40,OOO people in Mexico. One of the best rock bands on the planet.
You'll notice one very unique thing about The Quo, there's nobody on the planet who dislikes them, or their sounds, because they do their 'thing' for the best reason, they enjoy it! Well, so do WE!! 🎸🎸🎸🥁
"Down Down" was Status Quo's only #1 single in the United Kingdom, The Quo never cracked the American market, they became a cult band on the other side of the pond. Status Quo were huge in the UK, they've appeared on BBC 1's "Top of the Pops" more than any other recording artist.
This is my favourite Quo song. This is the first time I`ve heard this slightly extended version though. A few years ago the original band as you see here reformed for a last tour under the banner The Frantic four. The band still tours but with only the Singer/Lead guitarist from the original band (Francis Rossi). Rip Rick. Great reaction
Jamel gets to The Quo - Yay! (you need to understand the British way of pronouncing ‘status’ to get their name right 😉) - fabulous, good honest boogie band
Grew up with this band in the seventies. Was a big fan. Have seen them around ten times live. At a fanclub day in the early eighties in the Netherlands Rick Parfitt was there too. The best memorie is the concert in 1979 in the Netherlands with the frantic four. Seen the in 2014 Réunion tour of the frantic four also. Always Goosebumps with this band. My alltime favourite is 4500 times from the live album.
This comment made me sad James. I’ve seen them 66 times ( some I know have seen them 100s of times) and never a bad gig. Even today’s line up put on a good show so if you do get chance I recommend you go for it.
Djamel the 70's were the Best years in the history of music: Sound, creativity, variety, .....We Will never have years like this! Status Quo was a hell of a great Boogie Rock british band.
I listened to a music professional discussing the band who were often disparaged. What we're hearing, he said, is the result of countless hours of practise and playing live stages big and small in front of audiences. Irreplaceable band. Quick edit- Bass at the end!
Formerly a Pop Band, as you know, they started really "paying their dues" in the early 1970's and I saw them 5 times in 1972. On one memorable occasion they played 5 Encores and the last encore was a 7 part medley. Croydon, S E London :)
I didn't know that was a Fogerty tune, but it was my first memory of them from Rock '74 on Toronto's Centre Island, and my best- musical- memory of the show! Flyin' on Window Pane, lmao.
I have seldom seen such a likeable person as you and enjoyed the watching :) I was born 64 and a 70's and 80's boy and I love this music :) Mostly funk, soul, house and disco :) Many greetings from Germany!!!
I have loved Status Quo for over 50 years now. They actually began as a psychedelic band, with songs such as Pictures of Matchstick Men, Black Veils Of Melancholy, Ice In The Sun, Green Tambourine etc, before all the fantastic rocking songs. And I agree, reacting to Pictures of Matchstick Men would be a great idea.
What?! I’ve never heard of this band and they did the original Pictures of Matchstick Men? I’m going to have to go look up if the song I know and love is a cover.....
@@genevieveking8819Yes, Status Quo did it in the 60s. But I didn't know that Camper Van Beethoven did a cover of it, and its good, I love how they use the violin for the guitar riff. ty for telling me.
It's funny really, they weren't particularly much into psychedelia to begin with. When they were still called The Spectres they were a kind of garage rock band. Then Francis tried to write something in the vein of "Hey Joe", although his Italian heritage was also creeping in. The phasing was a studio accident/gimmick and suddenly everyone expected them to do more songs like that! Took 2-3 years (and declining success) to get free of that and arrive at what you see above. Another curio: The verse melody of Down Down is very similar to the "Pictures" guitar riff!
British national treasure " The Quo". Ive had the pleasure of seeing them live many times, they do exactly what it says on the tin. Caroline, Mystery song please. Great to see you bopping along. Keep up the good work Bro.
All of AC/DC are British born,Scotland,but emigrated to Aus when they were young. Brian Johnson is from Newcastle in the frozen extreme north of England.
Like most Americans I only knew them from "Pictures of Matchstick Men", their only top 40 hit in the US, which reached #12. That song was played a lot on oldies stations when I was growing up but it wasn't until the internet that I found out what a massive success they were in the UK and elsewhere. I've checked out a few of their other songs and this is definitely a catchy one. Like Slade, I really have no idea why they never made it big in the US. Then again I have no idea why English bands like The Zombies and The Struts aren't appreciated more in the UK as they are in the States. The British invasion from the 60s is my favorite genre so I've checked out some of the bands that didn't make it over here from that time and some are quite good like The Sorrows and The Equals. I'm sure a lot more goes on in hit making than just talent, experience, and the public's taste because there's no other way to explain these differences.
A lot of the Quo's tracks sounded much the same , i would recommend 2 of their best , 'Living on an island' and 'Rock-n-roll' which are more melodic and laidback , this shows how versatile and talented they were and not just the running joke that they are just a 3 chord band !.
Ahhh, Status Quo. I was raised on the Quo, the first record my dad ever bought with his own money was Wild Side Of Life in 1976 when he was 14. He had one of their concerts on video tape that we used to watch as kids, and I’m pretty sure Francis Rossi was my first crush as a kid. Ive had a weakness for guys with long hair ever since.
My younger cousin Mark went to school with Francis's son, so I'd always hoped to be getting to meet him when I visited family but never happened, but Mark said they're a lovely bunch
that’s the original lineup i saw when i was in the military overseas. I was in holland at the time. Rocked the shit out of the crowd ! outdoor concert! we used to call them Bar party rockers!
grew up with Quo, evenn served Rick P with a pint when I working at pub in Birmingham many years ago.....they still smash it live....you know what you're going to get and they deliver...a brilliant live band
I am so glad I was a product of the 60's. Look at all the brilliant music I would have missed out on in the moment. Fifty plus years at the top proves beyond a shadow of the doubt that they did something right. ;)
This is the lineup that I met, and worked with, in San Diego, in the early '70's! Talk about the British Press, how many time can you give a sincere answer to "what's your favorite color!"?
The first record I ever bought was the Quo box (tin) set, and the first rcok concert I ever went to was Status Quo, on their "End of the Road" fairwell tour, in 1984. I saw them several times more, but have missed seeing them ever since I moved to the US in 2001.
Hi Jamel! This is one of your subscribers from Down Under! Thank you SO much for reacting to this! My brother and I LOVED listening to this in the seventies when we were teenagers! Take care and stay safe! From Australia.
Formerly a Pop Band in he 1960's,they started really "paying their dues" in the early 1970s and I saw them 5 times in 1972. On one memorable occasion, they played 5 Encores and the last encore was a 7 part medley. Croydon, S E London :)
The clip is recorded at Top Pop, the number one pop music programme on Dutch tv in the '70s. They experimented a bit with camera effects and this was one of them.
The ONLY advantage to being old is that we were there for ALL this awesome music. We had it all babe. Disco. Abba. AC/DC with Bonn Scott RIP. Suzi Quatro, the godmother of Rock, Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks, David Bowie, The Rolling Stones. The Rocky Horror Picture show (which was shocking back in the day lol). Meatloaf said the parents didn't get it, but the kids did and he was right. Then he had his own career. It was the bomb. It was ALL happening. SO GLAD I was there for it. I LOVE the way you young folk react. Our music was the BEST then and the BEST now. Good times, my friend. Respect to you for exposing your gen to it. Thanks from an old hippy. Peace out.
Hey Jamel great to see your into Quo, they were 1 of the most popular live bands around. I've seen them a quite a few times, one of my favourites is Rain off the Blue for you album.
Jamel... You are so fun to watch!!! You make me smile, you make me laugh and you make me feel happy. Thank you for always bringing your positive attitude. It is contagious. 🇨🇦 Luv from Canada
Their only No.1 to date. A fantastic song. 'Caroline', 'Big Fat Mama', 'Forty-Five Hundred Times', 'Paper Plane', 'Mystery Song (album version)' We're lucky to have a single Quo reaction in a month on RUclips, then all of a sudden, we get about 6 in the space of 3 days!! PLEASE, keep it up! Quo need the recognition they deserve.
Do more helmet!! Best band ever im 18 and im addicted to em playing their riffs along to the music is the best feeling you MUST do “FBLA II” one of their best songs
When this record came out, everyone wanted to play it, myself included. It took me to the RUclips days until I realised its played in Open G tuning, the same tuning Keith Richards uses. When you know that, it's a piece of cake.
Someone's getting the Quo bug - huge rabbit hole but I would definitely recommend their first hit "pictures of matchstick men" which is pure 60's and a world away from what they became.
Ah classic Quo. Takes me back to my teens; yellow bell bottoms, platform shoes, those WERE the days. (the days when if you wanted to spin the picture, you had to spin the whole camera :)
Several years ago a supermarket chain ( Coles ) here in the land of Oz used this tune for promotional purposes and even used the band for the first round of promotions. I think Rick and Francis were even out here for the launch. All I can say they changes the lyrics a little to refer to prices..... Lol..
Reminds me of a stunt my mates and I had at 17.It was the early 90s we had just passed our driving tests and had no sense!! The idea was to have the car stationary and at the 3.35 mark the accelerator was pushed to the mat as Francis went into the riff. We wanted to see what speed you could reach when the drums kicked in! This was fine and dandy until I ran out of driving talent and put my mother's car end over end into a field when I didn't make the corner!! I've often wondered what Francis and the late great Rick would have thought! When the riff kicks in it takes me back to being upside down in a wrecked car! Another song for the trick was Caroline when Rick hit the first down stroke until Francis hit his first note. Pardon my long comment!
its just gone 3am and im supposed to be editing a video due for Thursday, tried holding off subscribing (worried id get addicted) well i had to give in lol, great channel bro, great selections of songs not many other people are doing reactions to!
It's good seeing these Americans getting into QUO, now. I got hooked on Quo as a 9 year old in 1969 when I first heard Down The Dustpipe. The (5) , yes I said 5 Quo members, the 5th being Andy Bown are still the best. Rossi, Parfitt, Lancaster and Coghlan. The 70's Quo music is still the best. Great British Rockers

Saw these live Portsmouth England 87 was deaf for nearly a week it was boss man from David
No-one ever walked away from a Quo gig without absolutely loving it.
Walk! Could barely stand at the end! 🤣 Exhausted and happy!
My Mum never walked away from a Staus Quo gig - she was in a wheelchair. Last gig she went to she was well into her 80s. I went along as 'escort' and was utterly converted by the end of it!
Rick Parfitt and Malcolm Young. The two best rhythm guitarists ever. RIP both.
Yes
I second that rockin heaven
Yes ................ RIP Rick , RIP Malcolm
I agree with you completely. RIP Rick and Malcolm
Gotta throw Keith Richards on that list

The song that launched a million tennis racquet 'guitars' in teenage boys' bedrooms.
And girls lol
@@katayfa I wasn't in too many girl's bedrooms when I was a teenager, sadly. I'll take your word for it 😉
yup guilty
Jamel I honestly never thought you would react to Status Quo (my favorite band). But you did (five times) and I've really enjoyed it! Thanks!
QUO, QUO, QUO, QUO, Ahhhhh the memories. Absolute Legends
You'll notice one very unique thing about The Quo, there's nobody on the planet who dislikes them, or their sounds, because they do their 'thing' for the best reason, they enjoy it!
Well, so do WE!! 🎸🎸🎸🥁
The most well-rehearsed band ever. Because of respect of thier fans. Great band!!!
Only one man on RUclips reacts to status quo..... respect
Much Respect !!
There's loads of quo reaction videos on RUclips mate
"Down Down" was Status Quo's only #1 single in the United Kingdom, The Quo never cracked the American market, they became a cult band on the other side of the pond. Status Quo were huge in the UK, they've appeared on BBC 1's "Top of the Pops" more than any other recording artist.
I can't dance to save my life, but I can't NOT dance when The Quo come on!
The famous 'Quo Roll' !
You get it! Quo is special! They are the greatest band that never made it in the US! Our loss. Please continue to keep great music alive!
Another great early Quo single to listen to is 'Paper plane', another UK hit of theirs.
This makes me so glad that I was a teenager in the 70s, no better time.
Thanks Jamel, I’m loving the Quo. Takes me back to about 75 & 76/7 Hordern Pavillon Sydney Australia.
Status Quo plays both kinds of music.....ROCK and ROLL...!!!!!!!!!.....
My favourite Quo song. FYI, this band are honorifically known as “The Quo” over the pond. National Treasures ❤️
Absolute garbage.
@@DL-cb8bh
Better than anything YOU'VE released! 🤣🤣🤣
@@jamespasifull3424 Not really
The frantic 4 reputation speaks for itself
Love the mighty quo,I've actually seen quo over 40 times,brilliant band.
Give me 12 bar blues all day
Status Quo...rock and roll! Thanks!
'In the Army Now' , 'Old Rag Blues', 'What Your Proposin', so many good tracks from The Quo. Had their greatest hits on cassette.
This is my favourite Quo song. This is the first time I`ve heard this slightly extended version though. A few years ago the original band as you see here reformed for a last tour under the banner The Frantic four.

😂😂 ikr every time I listen to the quo I can’t help but nod my head
Quite simply a superb rock and roll band. I regret never seeing them live.

seem them live wow they rocked

Their version of John Fogerty's Rockin all over the world is another standout
that was his first Status Quo reaction

Forty-five hundred times, 🎸a classic
Old skool Quo Love em
Status Quo at their best👍🏻
I have seldom seen such a likeable person as you and enjoyed the watching :)

Mostly funk, soul, house and disco :)
Many greetings from Germany!!!
This is by far and away my favourite Quo track. Alan Lancaster's bass at the end is simply amazing. This rocks out insanely.
They were great. I saw them live together with Queen in Knebworth. It was a huge concert

Caroline, Mystery song please.
Great to see you bopping along.
Keep up the good work Bro.
this is the original banger of headbanger music!
Love the Quo, seen them live a couple of times, brilliant....
I liken Quo to the UK equivalent of AC-DC... you know what you're going to get each time but it's just good fun.
All of AC/DC are British born,Scotland,but emigrated to Aus when they were young.
Brian Johnson is from Newcastle in the frozen extreme north of England.
@@TheCornishCockney Yup. Am aware. I too am from the 'frozen north', albeit a touch more south: Yorkshire.
@@TheCornishCockney Phil Rudd was born in Melb Australia
Controversial opinion: I think Quo's 2019 album Backbone is a much more creative and inspired effort than AC/DC's 2020 album Power Up.
@@TheCornishCockney Always fun to wind up Australian's when you tell them AC/DC are a British band though! 🤣

One of the first rock songs I heard on the radio circa 1973, after a life of evangelical drought, love it still. RIP Rick Parfitt.
Among my y favourite bands in the seventies. None could touch them when they started that boogie. My favourite song was Big Fat Mama!
I really think she's something else?
It's pronounced STAY - TUS - QUO in the U.K, it always makes me chuckle the way you Americans say it, still a great band after all these years.
Ahhh, Status Quo. I was raised on the Quo, the first record my dad ever bought with his own money was Wild Side Of Life in 1976 when he was 14.

Alan "Nuff" Lancaster's Bass really rocks this song.
I was blessed to see the Quo at Hyde Park in 2019 while visiting London .They can still rock the house
Another one of the great groups I grew up listening to.
Thx Jamel for keeping the memories alive.
that’s the original lineup i saw when i was in the military overseas. I was in holland at the time. Rocked the shit out of the crowd ! outdoor concert! we used to call them Bar party rockers!
The Frantic Four... Rossi?, Parfitt, Lancaster and Coughlin. THE Quo lineup... not the softer later option.
Seen them live in derry 2013 inside a huge tent with plywood floors, it was the best live band experience ever
I love that period of Quo... they were really good at what they did....
grew up with Quo, evenn served Rick P with a pint when I working at pub in Birmingham many years ago.....they still smash it live....you know what you're going to get and they deliver...a brilliant live band
Saw Status Quo (the classic line up) many years ago - they were amazing on stage.

Thank You Jamel -Aka -Jamal! Toller Mix by Status Quo 🎸! 👍Is Very good!!!! 🇨🇭🙏❣
I love that you’re reacting to all this status quo. This is probably my favourite of their songs.
"Rain" by them is always a live crowd favourite but listen to the studio version before the live version.
4500 times live, the 1984 version. 17 minutes pure rock!
My favourite by the Quo. Great song. Thanks Jamel 👍👏🎶

You will enjoy "Pictures Of Matchstick Men" by Status Quo. I love the guitar riff.
Got the original vinyl in my collection, 1975. ✌️
So do I ( 😉 from France)
I bought some earlier singles of theirs, great rhythm and blues tracks.

I think Rick and Francis were even out here for the launch. All I can say they changes the lyrics a little to refer to prices..... Lol..
Reminds me of a stunt my mates and I had at 17.It was the early 90s we had just passed our driving tests and had no sense!! The idea was to have the car stationary and at the 3.35 mark the accelerator was pushed to the mat as Francis went into the riff. We wanted to see what speed you could reach when the drums kicked in! This was fine and dandy until I ran out of driving talent and put my mother's car end over end into a field when I didn't make the corner!! I've often wondered what Francis and the late great Rick would have thought! When the riff kicks in it takes me back to being upside down in a wrecked car! Another song for the trick was Caroline when Rick hit the first down stroke until Francis hit his first note. Pardon my long comment!
There are so many great Quo song you could react to, it would keep you busy for the next month.

It's good seeing these Americans getting into QUO, now.
I got hooked on Quo as a 9 year old in 1969 when I first heard Down The Dustpipe.
The (5) , yes I said 5 Quo members, the 5th being Andy Bown are still the best.
Rossi, Parfitt, Lancaster and Coghlan.
The 70's Quo music is still the best.
Great British Rockers
Status quo roadhouse blues live aid 85!!!!
"living on a island" is one of there best in my opinion
