PLC or Rick solo. Or Andy or Rhino if I could. The other guy? Z Z Top....

Saw Rossi on last solo tour and although it was good as a one off (surprise factor of set list etc) not too bothered about seeing him again.
Also, and this may seem churlish, his utter lack of respect shown towards the wonderful FF also means I have no desire to support anything he does anymore.
Don't see Rick as a front man / solo artist but as a powerful machine that is key to the Quo sound.

Yes...this is my problem too... I was interested to see him after osaat...but the attitude in the recent years has been putting me off as well.. |

Agree with the above. That was the one and only downside of the reunions for me... the thought that I was putting more money in Rossi's pocket.

I've gone for Rossi, but I'd want him to blues things up more rather than the more country leaning One Step At A Time material. I'd also want him playing all the solos too to be honest. Frantic Four album and tour is what I really want though, that can be with Andy Bown too.  |

PLC, or as Dennis has branded them ...'Sans Francis Quo'.

Rossi as a solo artist - country pop, mediocre material
Rick as a solo artist - chugga chugga standard 12 bar blues and some poppy stuff thrown in, mediocre material
PLC - Worth a look see as it would be rock blues focused for sure, although would only appeal to the hardcore fans of Quo old
As solo artists neither Rick or Frame have anything to give.

I'd be interested to see Rick solo. Even without much new material, ever Rick's issue, there's a wealth of back catalogue - much of it untouched by Quo. Could be an interesting set. He could do worse than to team up with John for some gigs, if only to test the water.

I've certainly taken off the rose tinted glasses I've worn since my teens with regard to Francis as a result of his increasingly unappealing attitude in more recent times, but would still want to see his solo tour - having had tickets for the OSAAT tour when it was cancelled a few years back.
dennis suggestion about Rick is interesting. I'd like to see him assert himself in his own right and show he doesn't rely on, or need Francis.
I think I'm not the only one who has put Mr Rossi too much on a pedestal and give him more credit than he deserves. I think he is assumed to have far more authority than reality should allow.
Otherwise, I'd enjoy seeing John's band - a chance to see a range of Quo songs that won't get the light of day with any other combination, except perhaps PLC - if it was hypothetically ever to be formed at all of course |
