Metal Shots

An imaginary conversation at a TV-Studio amongst the members of Status Quo, currently celebrating an amazing 26 year history. The line up may have changed, but the familiar riffs keep on coming. They're still rockin' all over the world, these snaps were captured by our lensman during a promotion trip the band did in Germany.

"So this isnt live right?"
"That s it, so we dont have to rehearse it over and over and over again."
"Phew, that's a relief. I mean, when you've been doing TV's for as long as we have, it's hard to get too excited."
"Not since England won the world cup."
"Why do they call it the green room?"
"Theatrical tradition."
"What, did Shakespeare do TV too?"
"What do you do if you get bored at these kinda things?"
"Make a Paper Plane & if the bar's up to it then it's Marguerita Time."
"Hello, Caroline, do you know I'm Blue For You and I'd do Whatever you want?"
"Do you think if I stroke that Two Headed Dog he'll Roll over And Lie Down?"
"I Aint Compainin', but it's getting a bit warm in here, must be the lights."
"Well, If You Can't Stand The Heat..."
"Are you looking forward to tonight?"
"Yea, we're Going Down Town Tonight."

They were all miles away, Dreamin' when someone shouted "Cue, action" and our denim warriors went into battle for the cameras. Isn't technology wonderful!
