Get naked MAKE

Status Quo get naked, draw blank. In double sense of the word. Once the black and white photos of their booklet that has all shot none other than Bryan Adams. Only acoustic guitars respectively a snare drum cover of Men's genitals. It's fun to watch. About the stately figures that can clearly be as divided as about the new album Aquostic. The title is indeed a splendid, Rossi-Parfitt typical pun, the unplugged idea, well, now, however, not quite as fresh as a daisy.

Especially since you aufhorcht surprised at the very first song. Heavenly Strings conduct Pictures of Matchstick Men a, their very first hit parade success of 1968. But soon join fortunately the klampfenden acoustic guitars to. All good then? Unfortunately, no. The second piece Down the Dustpipe can indeed dancing feet. A Princely up-tempo song that really gains momentum thanks to the harmonica. Such Quo could celebrate this piece also easily live in their rock concerts. But even track number 3 bobs back to himself. Nanana name says - would certainly succeed wonderfully in schunkeligen ZDF television garden, especially since Rossi's voice sounds here plenty powerless. But otherwise probably nowhere. And noteworthy: While here makes the accordion rather deep sleep, the Mill Paper Plane with their staccato rhythm makes the next, again furioseren acoustic piece exactly for the necessary drive. You can not please everyone up.

This schematic Wechselbad henceforth pervades the entire 70-minute album. On too shallow (strings) works like All the Reasons, Claudie or Break the Rules follow beautiful blast as Softer Ride and Down down (pay attention to the hand-claps). The first sound like listless duty respectively album filler, their arrangements - you listen only to say the least rock'n'roll are not very varied. In zweiteren it swings partially correct and you can hear literally, such as in Burning Bridges, the fun out, which the Old-Men troupe had in the recordings. After all: Some classics like Caroline, Whatever you want, and Do not Drive My Car obtained by the modified instrumentation a lightening Fresh paint. Again and again sounds countryesk joyfully and Rain mutates even the formidable bluesy Southern strumming (if it was not the women's choir would spark repeatedly in between). The class And it's better now in my opinion, even the best acoustic implementation of the entire CD. Some songs like Rockin 'All Over the World (just!) You can hear the other hand better off, John Fogerty is verhackstückt original. Fernsehgarten and stuff.

A total of 22 of her works the soporific Rock 'Til You Drop (1991) completed the set - have suspended status quo a striptease and who would hear the tape for the first time, would not in a thousand years the idea that behind the best boogie rock band in the world hidden that rocks the arenas for almost 50 years. And so it should be in my opinion. On the CD Acoustic principle is okay, because you can continue on or off at will. Concert but we still need the full roar. Well, the next gig a short unplugged set is inserted with two, three titles in agreement. But then is also good.
