The Faces Re-form With Mick Hucknall

Rod's voice is shot?" Obviously you have not seen him in concert in the past few years. Still sounds great. Puts on a 21/2 hour show without the attitude of younger performers. A troubador that still is greatful to have an audience (sold out shows mostly). I would rather pay to see these "old' rockers than any current primadona act. If you look at the history of any of these bands, they kept evolving trying new styles of music. Stewart a great example early years Blues 9english), Rock, soul and he keeps trying new things. I don't see any new groups or performers evolving or trying different venues for music.

I read the profile of Jerry Shirley (drummer of Humble Pie ) and it said he was born in Wattoncross London. I think this is wrong he was born in Waltham Cross Herts.
I met him once at a mutual friends wedding he was a lovely guy.

Rod Stewart & the Faces used to be the "house band" at the Eastown Theater in Detroit, back in the early 1970's. They performed there every few weeks, (that's why we called the Faces the "Eastown House Band"). Alice Cooper got famous there and between the Eastown and the Grande Ballroom, Detroit was the best place to be if you like rock. David Bowie performed five nights in a row and J.Geils said Detroit was their favorite place to play. So sad now, Detoit is teenage wasteland.
The seventies was the best decade for rock! (in my humble opinion).....gregg in Sarasota, FL

Somebody accused me of being a kid earlier. I grew up with rock and roll - I even watched Buddy Holly and Gene Vincent at Hammersmith in 1958 when I was 14. That doesn't mean I'd go and see him today if he was still alive.

Every generation has its own music and that's how it should be. Try listening to some of it instead of wearing out your old 78s and your blue suede shoes.

happy to see these guys can get a paycheck without their old meal ticket

Your Welcome ian. I was just telling the truth. Music today isn't at all like when we were growing up. That's for sure!! And I have have front row tickets to see Roger Waters in Nov. at the Wachovia center in Philly. Long live the Real Rock & Roll!!

I have to agree with upurs. Todays kids don't know what real music is. Not even if it bit them in their asses. I was lucky enough to grow up when faces was huge. And listen to bands like Pink Floyd & Led Zeppelin!! Yea todays music is hypocritical & telling our kids that it's ok to beat up women & use the "F" word like there's no tomorrow. That's not music!! That's just a bunch of noise!!

I didn't know that Scott Baio (2nd from left in the pic) was in The Faces. Wow! You go Chachi - rock on!

Wasn't the original vocalist with the Faces the amazing Steve Mariott when they were called the Small Faces? As I understand it, famously ousted by Rod Stewart, the talented but now reclusive Stevie was ultimately destroyed by a fire at his home.

I am excited! I absolutely loved Small Faces and Faces. Small Faces were always my fav Mod band. I still listen to their music today. They were truly underrated and abused by the music industry. I think Steve Marriott was one of the greatest singers ever, RIP, and Mick is an awesome singer who can truly fill the bill. Please come to the U.S., I will be in the front row. Oh La La!
