This video was shot by my Father Karl Maline during Staus Quo's soundcheck in the Killarney INEC, Ireland on the Pictures Tour in 2008 . This was an absolute dream come through for me to play with the man himself. What an amazing day this was, little did I know that I would end up in the band!! hope you enjoy..

    I've loved Status Quo from I was a young man, and have 30+ albums with them. Countless hours of air guitar and their music always seems to lift me when I'm in a bad mood. Rest in peace Rick Partfitt. I, for one, will never forget you. Thank you sooo much!

    I'm a big Frantic Four fan and traditionalist, but Richie has done so well, and him being a Rick fan is great!

    I'm totally in awe of you Richie, great to see an Irishman filling Rick's shoes so well. Onwards and upwards and long may Quo live on in spirit, despite any of the name changes along the way. Best of luck mate

    good luck Richie everything will be fine and just put your heart and soul into it like Rick did and every Quo supporter will be right behind you knowing that you are the right guy for the job ...good luck with love and light Richie...
  • Such a wonderful video this, a special moment considering you'd end up following on from Rick in Quo after he passed away. You are doing a wonderful job Richie, and as a semi professional Guitarist myself I'm very jealous!
  • ricks one of the best guitarists in the whole world, fast and very acurate playing.will be missed.

    A real pleasure to meet you, your Dad & Shaun in Llanelli yesterday Richie. Great show & you played great & looked like you were having a lot a fun!
  • followed quo for over forty years plus and with Ricks passing the party is over now , the halcyon days of the seventies where quo at there very excellent rocking best ,piledriver released in 1971 is there crowning glory
  • @ajkingy
    i was supposed to see Quo on the 22nd Dec at Newcastle but that was the day my own Dad died, 2 days later Rick passed ,the two men that were a constant in my life for 50 years ,your doing a great job keeping what Rick worked so hard for going Enjoy every minute.

    It says a lot about Parfitt. A lot of guitarists won't let anyone touch, let alone play their guitars. He hands it over, no problem.
  • Richie Malone - what a pair of shoes to fill. You weren't born when Quo started. But from what i've seen and heard you are already filling those shoes. If Rossi approves, you have no worries, the public will follow. They LOVE Quo. And you add your own style to the role, which is excellent..
  • @flyerphil
    Good on you Richie, very happy for your achievements to date. You and Rick look so alike, he could be your older brother :-) It's amazing, and it was great to see the harmony between you both

    Miss Rick and miss seeing the Quo especially this time of year it kicked off my Christmas here in Brum. But When Freddie Mercury passed who would of thought Queen would be still going. Where there's life there's hope so keep the faith Quo Fans and we will see them again real soon.
