Good interview - thanks for the link.
Rhino touches again on the big bust-up with Jeff Rich around the time that Rich departed Quo - and that they have since reconciled and are good mates again. I wonder what was the cause of the falling out - it was obviously a pretty big deal at the time.
Also Rhino mentions that he had just heard the news of a first cover version of the track Gravy Train that he wrote for ISOTFC. I guess he means the first 'professional' or commercially-released cover version. Anyone know any details?

As far as I know, I thought the bust up was because Jeff R wanted to start his drum school full time, rather than leaving because of a bust up? Possibly Rhino had considered them as inseparable and a team, so to speak, and in it together with Quo.

I'm paraphrasing, but nevertheless... Rhino: "ZZ Top are doing it for the money." Also Rhino: "I can't wait for my next royalty statement."

Really enjoyed that. Not for and particular reason but he has been with the band for 35 years and can give a less sanitised insight into some of the bands dealings and tribulations during that time

Volume no good on my system :-( Music is OK, voices are muffled and miles away.

It's a very hypocritical accusation to make at ZZ Top, considering his leader's words over the last 12 years... Nonetheless there was a stark contrast between the ZZ Top gig I saw in 2019 (short, mostly predictable setlist, 1/3 of lead vocals pre-recorded) and the Quo one I saw a few months later (energetic, with two new songs and some less frequently played ones... only real issue was the missing encore). I think Francis is using those words partially as a shield to protect himself. At least with Richie's advent, it's clear as day he's enjoying performing with the band (again).
