But it did happen, 2 years on the bounce. It was magic!โ๏ธ๐ธ
-
This must have been filmed a fair few years ago. The Frantic Four reunion was magical โฆ !!
-
So entertaining!!! Jeff is always nice but the Frantic Four did reunite. Thanks for posting!!!
-
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

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!!!

Absolutely love this guy. Quo's greatest drummer. Jeff could've played in any big rock band. Im glad he was with Quo!
-
I Love these interviews but obviously they were filmed over 10yrs ago
-
Theyโve been through many drummers. Got to be a reason. Francis ?
-
So he WAS extremely, extremely surprised .... ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
-
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.
-
he came to our school the grange primary school in L30
-
And then it happened! The Frantic Four!
-
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).
-
Well guess what, it did happen!
-
There's only one quo that's the frantic four.
-
Rick sounds very insecure listening to these interviews about him.
-
That aged well didnt it? Frantic Four Forever, Panto Quo Never
-
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
