Why the dig at Rhino? If anything he was the one out of all of them (Rick included) writing the heavier more up tempo songs in recent years That may be so... just cos a song is heavier and more up tempo doesn't nessecarely make them better songs though. Not all heavier songs are good ones either. But I do see your point Correct, I actually was going to add that to my reply, just to me it seems that Rhino is the only one who has made any effort to write songs that may actually sound like the Quo of old, not that that's possible , but the rest seemed to have moved on to a different mind set of what they want Quo to sound like

That's my take on it. I'll listen to the new one, assuming it's not more Aquostic crap, but if Rhino writes more of the songs it'll be drek. Come to think of it, it's hard to see how it won't be drek. Why the dig at Rhino? If anything he was the one out of all of them (Rick included) writing the heavier more up tempo songs in recent years I agree with victor. Just because a song is heavier, it doesn't automatically make it better. There are enough songs that Rhino has had a hand in that aren't heavy which have been a decent quality.
One of his best and most recent co-written songs as an example of this is Dust to Gold. Its got a great vibe, offers a good extra dimension to typical Quo songs, its definitely not slapstick happy clappy, but its also not really heavy either.

Yes that's what I want to know too. Is it just rumours, or has something been said in an interview?
I'll probably buy it. I'm desperate for new material. I've enjoyed Frame's solo output, and Bula Quo the soundtrack (but not the film!)
I'm bored with the live show, and the set list, but would be keen to hear new material. The only reason I bought the deluxe version of Aquostic II was to get the new tracks.

Uh-oh, can't have rumours
Its pre-judgemental of me to say I won't buy it *naughty step* but based on the fact that tripe seems to be on-going direction of traffic, then the chances are I won't buy it.
Do you see what I just did there?

Would I buy it? Yes Would it be a classic? Nope Album Title? 'Nowhere left to go' 'I've got total control of Quo' or 'Last Man Standing' or maybe 'In it for the Money...and always was'

Which is terrible. That's subject to opinion, I already commented on this, the point I was trying to make was that the post I was originally replying to was having a dig at Rhino, yet he was probably the only one trying to write the kinda song which could song like the original Quo (not that that's possible as I've already stated) the rest of them don't seem to want to write that kinda song

I seem to have a 'technical fault' in trying to quote from the above posts (probably senile user error) - as there are a few I would have used to illustrate the following.........
Not only do I struggle to see why a conversation about the prospect of a new album (yeah....really?) result in a means of digging at Rhino but I do wonder how many have actually listened to RR II with an open mind, or at all.
I only got it a few months ago, expected very little, but am now totally convinced that allowing Rhino to have influenced more CQ (as was) material would have improved things: I would love to have known what songs like Tomorrow is Today, Cougar, Busy Doing Nothing, and One Note Blues would have come out like on a Quo album and even the really heavy stuff, like Secretary and Taken em Down and Black Widows (although the last one might be pushing it).
Rossi is/has been the problem with Quo. Much as I love the bloke and appreciate the number of years of pleasure his band have given me, the captain of the ship has obviously wanted to set a very different course, which as someone observed in another thread a little while ago, is about as far away from the cover of Piledriver as possible, for many years. And here we are. The End.
I have a far greater appetite for another RR album than FRQ, because all the evidence points to it being much stronger, quite a bit like Quo in places, but it will rock. Yeah, the vocals are average at best, but thank goodness for witty lyrics and ballsy heavy rock. And yeah, to be honest - 'country music' is shite to my ears.
