Status Quo-Reason For Living

[sbluez]

Oh man, this track is so underrated. One of the rare occasions where the Quo played a slide guitar solo!

Rick still playing vs his sg in 1973, you hear the differents between his and francis rossi telecaster, he also played the slide guitar solo, rossi playing the intro, rick the fills in vs his sg, so he rick also played some solos, the track is also my absolute Favorit. They played more Gibson/Telecaster in their early 70s, Ricks playing gettn harder and harder, peaking the 1974 Quo album, there he also gettn his white telecaster seen also on live in Wembley 1974 footage, the red Gibson sg junior and an other, the black gibson bb tuned were his second powerhouse, from there on he used an classic modified gibson g tuning in 1975, little lady, ect. So he using guitars he played whole his live and was for me the best rythm guitar player

Another "lost pearl" from one of their best albums ever! Did they ever perform this live? Maybe....long, long ago. When i first heard "Hello !" in the early 1980s - many years after its release (where i still was a very young kid....) it didn't impressed me that much compared to the other heavy rockin' rockers on this record. Later on - after hearing this record a hundred of times - I realized the greatness of this boogie woogie smasher. Greetings from germany.

the sound of the Tele at the very beginning sounds just pure and clear. it's such a joy. Quo + Slade is Rock 'n' Roll at its maximum

[sigiheinzen]

John Coghlan..very good boogie shuffle rock n roll drumming.

Fran plays slide - awesome. Great song from the boyz.

Esta rola me trae recuerdos de mi juventud en mi CD NEZAHUALCOYOTL

It is the SG Rick's playing, ie the fat sound.

[FenderTele]

I wonder is Rick playing his Gibson SG here with that rounded warm crunch, for want of a better word alongside the tele twang?
