Sound Like Status Quo - Without Busting The Bank 

The greatest live band of the 70'S seen them all including Zep , Purple , ACDC nobody came close. People See Them as pretty limited but ACDC have produced the same album all there career. Listen to 4500 from the hello album one of the greatest tracks ever put down on record. Long live the QUO

Epic. This takes me waaaaay back to my very beginnings on guitar. Me and my mate across the street started our first band doing Quo covers because both our parents had loads of Quo albums and we knew the songs. Great show guys

Whatever you want has to be up there in opening riffs. I was lucky enough to have supported Quo a few years back and was literally a few feet away from Rick doing this. Amazing sound and an amazing band!

My Rick Parfitt Telecaster was my first ever electric guitar and to this day is my pride and joy and one of my favourite guitars to play. i don't get to play it on stage much anymore because it is a bit beaten up (16 years of heavy use will do that) but every so often I bust it out and still use it regularly for recording.

thank you so much for this, as a long life quo fan, ive been going to see quo nearly every year since i was 6 with my dad and my brother, and im now 25, so that a fair few shows, ive always loved them no matter what, and now ive just gotten in from work to see youve done this, thank you, loving it!

I love this video. The gear sounded great (perfect Status Quo!), and I realized how much I've missed listening to Quo.

Holy shit that was AWESOME! 'Whatever You Want' was honestly perfect! Great job once again guys!

I've been watching a lot of the older Andertons videos recently, Wow Rabea has lost a lot of weight!

SOUND LIKE JIMI HENDRIX BY BUSTING THE BANK!!!

Good job guys. Saw quo in the early 70s at Hammersmith Odeon. They had a cliff face of Marshall cabs and amps on both sides of the stage at full volume. I was deaf for three days afterwards. All I could hear was ringing in my ears :)

Bea & Matt, you truly have made a simple man from a far away land happy. Quo is my childhood and by far my most loved band in the entire world, and being from a newer generation, I almost never hear anyone talking about them. This video absolutely took me by supprise, and hearing all these old tunes immediately sent me way back to a simpler time. You very literally brought a tear to my eye. Thank you

I love Status Quo, one of my favorite bands.

Great stuff guys. Just a quick tip (uh oh...old Quo fan alert), Rick often preferred to play bar chords using the bass string for the root note (much meatier), whilst Francis' rhythm is in a somewhat "looser" style. The two together created that typical Quo sound. It was funny watching you choose the guitars - Rick once said that his '65 Tele cost him the price of a ham sandwich ;) Also, just a fun fact, Francis' '57 Tele wasn't green to start with. He sanded all the paint off and started to put a green primer on but after (roughly) doing the top he got bored and left it! Classic! ;) Anyway, great job guys and excellent playing (great rythm and lead) - very authentic, and this is coming from a die-hard Quo fan! :)

YESS! AT LAST! And you did a great job of it too guys - good ol' rock 'n' roll that makes you grin from ear to ear and gets your head bouncing up and down! Cheered my day up no end.

I love this show and really appreciate Status Quo, while not a huge fan of the band, they represent a nice spot on the full spectrum of guitar based music that I thank you guys for including. It doesn't always have to be metal, blues, heavy rock. Now on to Radiohead and My Bloody Valentine; both of which, would be great challenges.

Well guys, you really nailed that one - superb playing and tone there - thanks!

Sound like EVH, Joe Bonamassa or Eric Johnson :))

Wow, the rigs compliment each other very well. Well played!

Hey guys! I really enjoyed this video! Please do these videos in the future: 1. Jerry Cantrell by busting the bank 2. Slash on 500£ 3. Kirk Hammett by busting the bank 4. Buddy Guy without busting the bank 5. Joe Bonamassa without busting the bank 6. Dimebag on 500£ 7. EVH without busting the bank 8. Slash on 500£ 9. Zakk Wylde by busting the bank 10. John Petrucci without busting the bank Thank you!

wow u guys really got such good tones out of that rig. Phenomenal playing guys, awesome clean tones and Matt really had such a good rhythm tone. Hats off to Mathews.

IV'E BEEN WATING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG OMG THANK YOU!

Loved the Rocking all over the World solo. Great job

Nice to see a tribute like this to Quo. Well done guys. Only thing I would add in is that this is more how Quos "studio sound" was. Clean-ish. Maybe that was the goal. But live they never really were this clean. Anyway great job! :)

Great job as always guys!!! Been waiting for this one for ages and it didn't disappoint. Peace. 🤘🏻✌🏻

Made me smile this one. Great guitars and sound. Two really good players Rabea and Matt. However it just shows how good the boys from The Quo actually were/are

I was'nt expecting Quo and well played Guys..... em what about the first Stratocaster player in Britain Hank Marvin....... Come on Guy's I know It's a difficult challenge but I think you do it!

Vid is 2 years old but best sound a like I've watched. Superb stuff !

R.I.P Rick

Excellent stuff. Love Quo. Appreciate you exposing the younger audience to quality straight rock n roll boogie.

The greatest rock and roll band in the land... holy never thought you'd do the Frantic Four!!!

You guys nailed it, great job!

First of all, this video introduced me to a new amazing band, so thanks guys!! Second of all, re: Lee's message at the end, I love that idea of splitting up the videos on separate channels!! It will make navigation much easier when finding videos of different genres to watch! Great idea!

Finally, some standard tele's. I love the combination of a Tele with a VOX AC 30, so I bought a Tele and a 30 something (which I didn't know existed until I saw your show). Classic sound guys, you did it again!

Smashing pumpkins!!

Me too. It's just amazing and pulse is increasing immediately if I hear these riffs!

Gonna re-request the sames as last time plus a few others: Gojira Orange Goblin Clutch Kyuss Fu Manchu Truckfighters Radiohead Electric Wizard Slo Burn Mayhem Burzum Alcest Devin Townsend Strapping Young Lad High on Fire Sleep Cattle Decapitation Slayer Megadeth Deicide Sepultura Meshuggah Entombed Kvelertak (since they have 3 guitarists, it would be fun having a guest if you ever do that one) Possessed Morbid Angel God is an Astronaut Solstafir Death Beyond Creation Obscura Sodom Testament Bloodbath Obituary Paradise Lost Suffocation Opeth Dream Theater Behemoth Carcass Pentagram Candlemass The Pixies Red Fang Nile Sex Pistols Batushka And a few lesser known bans that can be fun to do since you have less info on their gear: Mars Red Sky (surely the most challenging one considering their bass player has a pedalboard the size of a regular gitar player's pedalboard and their guitar player has two massive pedalboards completely filled) Hypno5e Trepalium Hacride Carpenter Brut (if you do it with guitar AND synth, I'll marry both of you) Klone 7 Weeks Jumping Jack Duckhunters Der Weg Einer Freiheit Déluge The Great Old Ones Year of no Light Last Barons Fogwax Gorod Black Fast The Midnight Ghost Train Psykup Cult of Luna OniZ King Hiss President Evil Thrashback Igorrr (only the guitar tone, no need to replicate the whole madness) The Algorithm (same here) La Dispute Now, of course you don't have to do 75 episodes to have each of those sounds, you don't even have to do one, those are just leads, and well, if along the way I made you discover a few awesome bands, well I'll consider this a win.

The new thumbnails are awesome! Whoever did that, nice work!

Sound like Beatles

Been waiting for quo for so long. Brilliant band, brilliant video.

I never heard of Status Quo before but I'll have to check them out... which is why I love this video!

Fantastic! What about more Quo. Some of the cracking track off their 1970s albums would be something else. 4500 times, roll over lay down, that sort of thing

Hats off to you guys you really nailed this one and the Mimiq pedal sounds awesome on that lead!! You guys fancy trying Yngwie Malmsteen since I'm going to see him in August!! I FEEL THE RISING FORCE!

Yay! Thanks, I've been asking for ages for this!

Sound like Muse, Royal Blood BY busting the bank

You not only nailed the sound, you also played them spot on fellas. Take it from a Quo fan. Well done.

Guys, this was fucking epic. Sounds great, i love quo!

Oh...you gents are getting SO CLOSE. PLEASE do Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers!! They are almost the Quo of America... Glad to see a return to the Marshall DSL series for this video. The 15 and the AC15 sounded fantastic together and those TELES! Nice to see you guys share my weakness for Olympic White and any shade of Blue guitar. I'd have em both if my quota for Teles wasn't already filled. Well, if you do decide to do TP and the Heartbreakers there are a LOT of nice Olympic White Strats out there to go with that Blue Tele!!(And dont forget a nice White Falcon if you do a BY busting the bank...) Cheers

Do kids today really want to sound like the Quo? I enjoyed it though, Quo were a gateway band for me as a kid leading to Zep, Floyd and Purple so they did good! 😎🎸

My favourite sounds like so far! so close sound wise!

Great sounds! Proof that everyone needs a Telecaster in their collection!

Spot with this one boys. Perfect. Nailed the playing too.

Status Quo opening up LiveAid

omg yessss ive been waiting sooo long for this

Sound like Bloc Party / Franz Ferdinand

NUNO NUNO! common Bea know you are a fan :)

sound like brian may

Not really a Quo fan but I've gotta say there's nothing quite like the sound of gunned Marshal. Love pedals and all the variety they can bring but there's something so pure and exciting about this setup that makes it really powerful!

Possibly the best one yet and im not even a quo fan! I want a tele and this didnt help the matter

Thank you so much for doing this one.

YNGWIE MALMSTEEN WHEN

Well done lads..took me back 35 years...great stuff! Rick P RIP.

"Allthough it's not a rosewood board" No, and Francis did also use a maple boarded Tele (although he has retired it now, and uses a Status Graphite model these days)

grab an amp grab a guitar 12 bar blues and there you go lol managed to see Status Quo the last electric tour they did in the UK, fantastic live

Sounds like Robert Fripp. I'd say for this a Katana 100 to perhaps model his Roland Jazz Chorus. That or a British sounding amp for his Hi-Watts. Then a single cut guitar, maybe a PRS SE 245 or an Epiphone. Then a big muff style pedal of some sort, a delay and perhaps a low gain drive instead of solid state gain. Maybe a synth pedal of some sort as well but his sound is very distinctive and would involve a MIDI pickup so eh probably not Also Radiohead, Primus, Fu Manchu, Free, Jeff Beck, Bloc Party and At The Drive-In.

Great band, great video. Came late to this but brilliant guys...

Sound like Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple/Rainbow. Either era

Really enjoyed this one. Sounded great. Tele + tube amp and a couple pedals is my kind of rig.

I must be out of the loop, living on the west coast of the USA .........hadn't even thought of Status Quo since " Pictures of Matchstick Men" in the 60's ........didn't even know they had covered John Fogerty.............

Those outtakes though. Had me in tears!

Sound like Gojira would be fun

My first rock concert was Quo in the mid 70's at Festival Hall in Brisbane Australia. They had the biggest rig in the world at the time using about 17 semi-trailers to haul it around. No noise restrictions back then and the music shook your whole body as it passed through you, it felt great :) My ears didn't stop ringing for 2 days though :-0 Nice video well done.

RIP the tag 6:39

HELLO GUYS. I am a French huge fan of your videos, specially "sound like" that help me building my pedal board. I have one challenge for you guys: why don't you listen to a band you've never heard of (e.g. I know French bands are not traveling well in your country) just listen to a few songs and try to guess and mimic the equipment they're using. call it the "sound guess". what do you say? try this one for a start : a band called "telephone" songs "argent trop cher" or "hygiaphone" (old band from the late 70's-80's) I love you guys, please keep going!!

sound like metallica by busting the bank

I am an original Quo fan. Their early, correct sound was based around Sound City, Hi-watt and Marshall. Indeed, something of a Mish mash on stage. In the mid/late 70's Quo consolidated their back line and used Solid State Vox AC30SS, which I saw and heard at Hammersmith Odeon and Empire Pool Wembley...'77/'78. Their early sound, including the AC30SS does not contain a lot of preamp distortion. As the years rolled on Vox took a manufacturing dive and Quo started using Marshall JCM900. Every year, Quo incrementally added a bit more buzzy preamp distortion. In their live rig Rossi/Parfitt had a miked up Vox AC30 in a sealed box backstage. I doubt if this was the long out of production Solid State version. You lads have done a stellar job capturing the essence of the early (NOT TOOOO MUCH preamp distortion, Quo Sound. I salute you. 😊😊😊😊

Foals or Radiohead next pleas. I can do in peace after these

Love this series so much!!!

sound like coheed and Cambria

Saw them in 1973 in Manchester. Phenomenal.!

Early Dead Kennedys, please.

Sounded like Quo boys. Caroline lead at the end was great.Great work guys.

Sound like Children Of Bodom!!!

My favourite Andertons videos. 💪

Can we get a 'Sound Like Scott Ian of Anthrax'?

I dig that tone

Sound like classic deep purple.

FINALLY FOR RICK P!!! Now can i request some sound likes Radiohead (cos i've requested it for the last few weeks) Slayer (Kerry & Jeff era cos Gary Holt was just a replacement) Rainbow Megadeth (Dave & Marty era cos Chris Broderick & Kiko Loreiro while they're good it's just not as iconic) King Crimson Periphery (some more 7 string djent but with 3 guitarists) Stray Cats Avenged Sevenfold Dokken Fleetwood Mac (putting you up with a challenge cos of Lindsey's guitars being mega expensive and him using mesa) White Lion (quite a challenging bit of tapping solos for Rabea, Vito Bratta was a legend) Whitesnake Mr Big/Racer X (depends if you wanna go Paul & Billy (guitar & bass) or Paul and Chris (dual guitar) Dream Theater Smashing Pumpkins KISS The Offspring The Clash Blur The Cure Deep Purple (Steve Morse) The Who Van Halen (Eruption, you know you wanna!) Dragonforce Jeff "Skunk" Baxter Heart (two guitarists, Craig Bartock & Nancy Wilson) St Vincent (a female sound like for once...) Dio Extreme (cos Rabea loves Nuno) The Eagles Judas Priest Electric Wizard (cos they sound cool) Motorhead (Lemmy and Fast Eddie over Lemmy and Phil Campbell) Metallica (Cliff Burton) Boston The Beatles Steve Stevens James Burton Mick Ronson Jason Becker Steve Vai Andy Timmons Robbie Robertson Albert Lee Buddy Guy Mac De Marco Devin Townsend Yngwie J Malmsteen Eric Johnson Joe Bonamassa Uli John Roth Jennifer Batten Frank & Dweezil Zappa and this one is a very special request i want... Jeff Williams (just listen to his solos & you'll love it) BY busting: Iron Maiden (so you can get the Dave Murray Strat and have someone for Steve Harris) Metallica The White Stripes The Black Keys (so you can replace the EHX Pitchfork with either a digitech whammy or the better Boss PS6) Black Stone Cherry (so you can get the Chris Robertson PRS) The Smiths (so you can get the Johnny Marr Jaguar) Joe Satriani (so you can get the JS2410 and a JCM800 Marshall) Zakk Wylde (so you can get a Wylde Audio guitar and a high end Marshall) Randy Rhoads (so you can get a V) Alice In Chains (so you can get Jerry's signature friedman) Rush (so you can get Alex's Gibson Les Paul Axcess and H&k amp) Eric Clapton (so you can get a black stratocaster)

In Australia, Status Quo did a commercial for Coles Supermarket, and when you were playing "Down, down", I kept humming "Down, down, prices are down"

status. Now its time for slade. Feel the noize!!!

Thanks for your work! My list is not important, but I think it could be interesting: 1)Queen - possibly p90s or "fat"-sounding singles, like on new Bea's strat. 2)Periphery - These guys' stuff is expensive! So, mayby u could take a challenge and... deal w/ pickups =) 3)Nothing But Thieves - 1 of my favourite bands. Keep my mind working after brain'melting ProgMetal. Btw, have an interesting guitar duo. 4)Motorhead - 'And the justice for Bass' =) 5)Devin Townsend - 'GearWhore on a budget'! Good luck, guys!

Sound like the legendary Paul kossoff from free

I have a vox ac15 and run a Baja tele through it.some slap back delays, a boost and some verb and trem. It's honestly sonic bliss to my ears.

Sound like Eric Johnson, both by busting the bank and without busting.

Lovely bit of playing lads

sound like weezer

Thanks for doing Quo - epic Tele sound Enjoyed watching Matt doing Rick's rhythm parts like he was playing an acoustic ;-)

do sounds like Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

Oh Fuck Yeah! Thanks for doing the mighty Quo, guys. Such an underrated band, I almost wouldn't expect it.

You sure that wasn't a Fender Stratocaster in arctic white?

There's something great of two right arms pumping up and down in unison on guitars! 🎸🎸🤘🏻
