There are albums Quo could make that might be popular. Most of us liked sweet home Chicago, even though it was knocked out in a few takes. They could do a blues album in Quo style They could also do a Quo'd up folksy affair stuffed with jigs and reels, with trad Irish, English and italian shuffles. The mixed message from francis I'm hearing is "not sure what the point is as it won't make money" compared with "we had to make aq2 immediately because we made so much money off the first one" I think Francis seems very happy right now being him and doing his own thing. I think he's out of enthusiasm for Quo, but hasn't lost his enthusiasm for making or recording music. Francis being Francis, this may change This reminds me, he wanted to do another album with Hannah Rickard and nothing has been heard about that either. Except that we get one more track on the LP edition (recorded during the album sessions), which - if they do another record - would hopefully be included as a bonus track on the CD... I know what you mean and, when I actually think about it, I guess it's a valid point. Thankfully, it never happened. Christmas albums are bollox no matter who does them. And some very reputable artists have. Clapton's Happy Xmas isn't bad, aside from the Avicii tribute. Mostly in a blues style. Rossi has already said that another album with Hannah isn't gonna happen as there's no money to be made from it, and also she's happily married now with children and isn't really interested.

I read somewhere once that one of Francis' favorite songs is Never Too Late...well, if they could make a last album that would sound like the NTL album i'd be very happy...sadly enough I think that's only a dream that will never come true. I agree, NTL is right up there in my favourite albums. I just adore the songs and feel of the album. Its hard to believe it was made up of left over tracks from the JS sessions, they are just too good. Ironic that Coghlan was gone after these wonderful songs, you wonder what could have been had he stayed. Yea.... sadly enough I think it would have collapsed anyway even if John had stayed longer...there were just too many tensions and not just with John. At some point it would still have collapsed between Alan and Francis I guess... but yea, had things gone right and they stayed together i always believed JS and NTL were a wonderful new direction that could have taken quo into the eighties in a very good way and I wonder how especially the direction of NTL might have developed into something even better then NTL.

From a personal point of view, an full album from the Tunes and Chat Tour (or next years Rossi solo one) would be far more appealing, hearing all those Quo classics on the 'Tunes and Chat' Tour was really refreshing...the mini CD albums released were excellent

I love the clip of in my chair on the tour promos, and album like that would be a treat 👍

Not just the lack of his vocals, but the whole style of playing on that album seemed very non Quo if I'm making any sense. It makes you realise how important Rick was in Quo, just as I felt it when Coghlan left, and Alan, as musicians, they all have the key ingredients that go into the mix. I have mentioned this in other threads, but when I seen Coghlans Quo back in 2005, it really brought home to me how he formed that vital style that was such a big part of Quo. Non of the drummers since have that unique style of playing the drums. So its the same thing for any band member that isn't present in a recording or live.

Maybe they could do a Travelled Themed Album. Railroad Paper Plane Slow Train Nightride Let's Ride High Flyer Don't Drive My Car Riverside Get Out And Walk Rollin' Home End Of The Line Another Shipwreck

So its the same thing for any band member that isn't present in a recording or live. i do not in any way want to knock the “classic quo”… same band i got in to, but i think BB was , for example, way better than QPQ… also i think latterly ( & again i do wish rick was still here), but rossi & therefore the band seem free-er ( is that nearly a word ) to crack on. sure i’ve heard both francis & rick talk about wanting same guitar levels etc. now, i don’t know the ins & outs of that, but i’d assume it’s neither required or actually best , but if there’s 2 guys vying for a spot.i know many blame francis for everything this side of the crucifiction, but one is quite serious/sensible & one ( in his own admission … well… not ). loved him to bits , but whereas francis kept them going & despite what he says , theres no way ricky had the dedication to keep it going had frame gone 1st.

I`d like to see them do one last album, i thought Backbone was a decent album, yeh Rick wasnt there but by his own admission he wasnt on much of the later albums so to say hes was massively missed would be not entirely true, dont get me wrong i idolised the guy im first & foremost F/F and always will be but to me its obvious the albums he contributed to which for me are ITAN (probably songs already written) bits of AC, RTYD, UTI, HT & TPAOY, the rest i think he was there fleetingly if you watch the documentary on Hello Quo he says hes not entirely sure hes even on some of them, so yeh back to the original post i think they should do another though in all honesty i think its over unfortunately.
