But it did happen, 2 years on the bounce. It was magic!✌️🎸
So entertaining!!! Jeff is always nice but the Frantic Four did reunite. Thanks for posting!!!
This must have been filmed a fair few years ago. The Frantic Four reunion was magical … !!
Think it was done around 2011-2012. Evidently Jeff was not made aware of what was going on in the background at that time.
It was great but the playing was very weak
fabulous drummer!
he speaks so honestly about everything, great to listen to him.. i don't know, maybe he was right about Rhino, but certainly he was wrong about the reunion, thank God and all who are responsible .D
Absolutely love this guy. Quo's greatest drummer. Jeff could've played in any big rock band. Im glad he was with Quo!
Yes, an excellent drummer, but not the Quo one. Quo is Alan+John+Rick+Mr.Rossi.
@@zlatar14 pish!
Yes, he made Quo sound like a modern rock band, at least in his first 6-7 years with the band, just listen to Who Gets The Love. I did notice that he didn't look too much involved in the late 90's, so I wasn't too surprised when he left, and he confirms those guesses of mine in this interview.
Coghlan is QUO's best Drummer, then Matt Letley, after that who cares.
Splinters of wood come flying off my sticks when I smash my Ludwig Kit playing along to "Nightride"
@@wirelessboogie is a "Johnny come lately " fan who thinks that a non-Quo song like "Who Gets The Love" is good.
If another Band did "Who Gets The Love" then it would be a well structured MOR song.
Alan & John would hate a song like "Who Gets The Love"
Jeff did a workshop at my daughters school in Newtownabbey Northern Ireland - One Solid dude.
Firstly let me say that I was a HUGE Fan of Spud, Nuff, Rick and Francis.
Spud was 'released' from Quo in 1982 during the recording of Quo's 1982 Album.
When the Frantic Four Played 'Live' it seemed to most of the Fans of that era that Quo were untouchable. Their set always energetic and beyond. Powerful, Fast and incredible Fun. Quo then was like 'Family' to us all. All Four Members of Quo giving their ALL to ensure WE all had a Great Time and hats off to them.
However, to me, regardless of the personal feelings of losing Spud and then Nuff, Rhino and Jeff Rich pushed Quo UP A GEAR! Sorry Frantic Four devotees.
The Energy of a Quo Gig actually went UP, not down and Technically both Rhino and Jeff are s**t HOT Musicians so I applaud them both for keeping the Spirit of Quo alive.
The Album 'In the Army Now' was incredibly well recorded and well produced by Pip Williams.
Did Pip Play Guitar on this Album or were there Session Musician's Playing on this Album?
Personally I LOVED Two Parfitt Tracks on ITAN (End of the Line & Overdose).....or did Francis and Bob Young really Compose these Song's??!!
Initially I hated the Single 'In the Army Now', but then I started to love it and I'm very glad that it remains in their set today.
Jeff I salute you. You were and probably still are BRILLIANT!!
Well done in your time with Quo and really saddened that had such a devastating effect on your Marriage and missed time with your Children as they were growing up!! It's tough isn't it.
Same thing happened to me!!!
They’ve been through many drummers. Got to be a reason. Francis ?
I Love these interviews but obviously they were filmed over 10yrs ago
So he WAS extremely, extremely surprised .... 😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for posting all of these.
Did you interview Pete Kircher at all during the filming? He seems to have been largely airbrushed out of Quo history. A shame really seeing as he played arguably one of Quo's biggest ever gigs - Live Aid.
I think time was against us for Pete or he chose to decline, can't remember right now.
@@Nyquest Thanks for the reply.
I always think Pete is overlooked, he was the first to replace on the main original four members.
He's the first drummer I remember with Quo due to my age so I have a spot for him.
Thanks.
@Nyquest from memory, Alan said he declined as he preferred the quiet life these days. Pete left the music business after his stint with Quo and has only made 1 TV appearance since with one of his older bands.
@@Nyquest Speaking of airbrushed out of Quo history.
Roy Lynes is totally forgotten by most of the die hard so called fans.
I love to hear what Roy has to say about the early days.
@@UnofficialStatusQuo Thanks. I'm a drummer so always like hearing the drummers point of view.
I've enjoyed many of the interviews, thanks.
Francis does not come across well, he must've been a nightmare to interview.
"What was the question?!"
he came to our school the grange primary school in L30
There's only one quo that's the frantic four.
The Frantic Four only existed for 6 years & were "book ended" by Roy Lynes (1970) & Andy Bown (1976)
Pretty much all long established bands evolve, their line up changes and their musical style moves along.
Remember Roy Lynes was in the original line up from psychedelia to denim so why isn't it the Frantic Five. When he left it wasn't long before Andy Bown stepped in, firstly as a session musician and then a full time member so I ask again, why don't people refer to them as the Frantic Five?
Andy has been in the band for 45 years, Rhino for around 40 years but for some reason a small number of "Fans" won't accept them even though their tenure is longer than both Spud and Nuff combined.
Fud
@@murraydean2371Always said this. Is music snobbery at its finest and that small proportion of Quo fans are the biggest snobs of them all. It’s a disservice to Bown to suggest he isn’t a member of Quo and even to Rhino as well. Can’t stand those that disregard them and their achievements.
And then it happened! The Frantic Four!
A couple of tours 2013-2014 and then back to nothing again.. They couldn't work together, Rossi and Lancaster, so different types
@@leiper72 Lancaster was a sick man. He also lived in Australia. Working together permanently was a ship that sailed a long time ago.
Well guess what, it did happen!
IMO the Frantic Four reunion tour was born as part of an out of court settlement between Quo and Lancaster/Couglan. I could be too simplistic about it, but if this interview with Jeff was filmed in 2011-2012, and he's saying there's no love lost between the two parties, then I think it was "we'll do this tour, you can take a healthy cut and then you can call off the lawyers and we don't have to hear from you again."
I saw them in 2013 and they were great, but that's how I think it happened. I'm probably being too simplistic (and cynical).
Never thought of it that way but it makes sence. Only bump was that Rick enjoyed it and wanted more and so there went the Rossi Parfitt deep friendship. Shame.
@@hgn2321 Francis has said he enjoyed doing it (the Frantic Four tours), even though he was more than reluctant to do it.
Relations between Francis and Rick were severely strained well before that (not as bad as Glimmer Twins circa 1980s), but the former's refusal to go back to FF permanently really upset Rick.
Francis suggested to the other three that they should go out as "Status Quo PLC" (Parfitt Lancaster Couglan), but nothing came of it.
Rick sounds very insecure listening to these interviews about him.
Andy, you've nailed it.
Rick thought he was viewed as being #2 in the Band.
Rick thought he had to drink to excess and take copious amounts of drugs in order to 'live' the Rock Star lifestyle.
Whereas all Rick had to do was realise that he was the best and greatest Rhythm Guitarist of all time.
He was a genius song writer.
He was one of the best Rock Singers of all time.
He was ridiculously handsome.
Rick was the archetypal Rock Star.
He had it all, including..........insecurities in abundance.
Ordinary people don't write, record and perform in the World's greatest Rock Band.
Rick wrote and co-wrote some of the best songs recorded in music history.
They could be hard Rock songs or beautiful and delicate ballads.
It was Rick Parfitt that transformed a hokey, redneck, country song into a classic, a worldwide favourite - sing a long Rocker called "Rockin' all over the World"
You can't be better than the best and Rick Parfitt was the best.
RIP - Rick Parfitt
@@alanstrom2221lovely words Alan❤🎤🎸🤘
That aged well didnt it? Frantic Four Forever, Panto Quo Never
meh.
Panto Quo.Nice.I call them Rossis 😊Tossers
Whatever
Quit the band and FF reunion wouldn't work. Thanks Sherlock.
Jeff goes on about it not being fair on Rhino, He should never have been there in the first place, Alan was underhandedly forced out of the band so it wasnt fair on him, Rhino has made a good living for years as a stand in in someone elses band
