Yes the dreaded Quo keys. Listen to some of the reunion gigs astounds me how good Quo sound without keyboard noises.Sounds different and so much better at least Imo. When listening to solo works from Francis, Rick or Andy is so different to listening to Quo music. Had to have been AL keeping the music on a straight and narrow course. And JC too. Because when it came to voting on what music etc to use AL and JC were known to vote similarly to each other. Yet AB's keyboard playing is amazing in itself. So good yet unfortunately so not needed on much of Quo's work. Ah I had no problems with the keys in itself until they got used the wrong ways...hell of a difference for instance between Dreaming where I hate them and Umleitung where I love them 100% agree. I do like some of Andy’s work, only in moderation. A lot is very annoying. But Roy’s work on The Dog & Ma Kelly’s in particular is superb. He just lay it there underneath to compliment. It’s superb work !

It’s superb work ! Roy had left before Dog of Two Head, all the keys on that were played by Rick Yes the dreaded Quo keys.

So good yet unfortunately so not needed on much of Quo's work. Which is one of the reasons I like that he's recently started playing much more guitar on stage. Maybe it's also to compensate for the fact that Richie doesn't really have Rick's power (but then again, who has), I dunno. But it works for me. He still plays some of the keyboard parts that work well, such as the Hammond in ROLD, but I think the days of guitar-imitating synths are mostly gone.
