Title: Faces to Reunite For Charity Show
Post by sweetcharmedlife on Aug 4^th, 2015 at 3:10pm

Looks like Rod Stewart will be reuniting with his surviving former bandmates in the Faces next month, even if it’s just for a one-time charity concert. The show — which will benefit Prostate Cancer U.K. — will take place on Sept. 5 at the Hurtwood Park Polo Club in Ewhurst, Surrey, as part of Rock ‘n’ Horsepower.

“This year is the 40th anniversary since the Faces parted ways, so it’s about time we got together for a jam!” said Stewart in a note on his website. “Being in the Faces back in the day was a whirlwind of madness, but my God, it was beyond brilliant. We are pleased to be able to support Prostate Cancer U.K.”

Stewart will be joined by former Faces guitarist Ronnie Wood and drummer Kenney Jones, the only other surviving members of the original quintet. Bassist Ronnie Lane died in 1997, and keyboardist Ian McLagan died last December.

“Getting back onstage with the lads playing ‘Stay With Me’ and other favorites will be a blast and will make this a very special night,” said Wood. “Being in the Faces was a mad and brilliant time for all of us, and although we don’t have Ronnie and Mac with us anymore, this is our chance to remember them and say ‘Had Me a Real Good Time.’”

Back in January, Stewart celebrated his 70th birthday with his old pals and performed a few songs with his former bandmates at a private party. Three years ago, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but Stewart pulled out of the ceremony at the last minute because he wasn’t feeling well. Simply Red singer Mick Hucknall filled in for him.

So this may be your only opportunity to see the Faces perform. Three months ago, Wood said that Stewart’s management was holding up any sort of Faces reunion, rumors of which had been swirling for years. And with a new Stewart solo album due for release on Oct. 23, it doesn’t look like any other band performances will be happening in 2015.

Yup.

And nice going Rod for waiting for Mac to die before getting on board for a re-union.

Glenn Matlock back on bass or Woodie's son Jesse? And who will play keys?

Kenney ?! .... Did somebody mention Kenney Jones ?! :

http://www.drummagazine.com/features/post/kenney-jones-filling-moons-shoes/

" Kenney Jones is tired of talking about Keith Moon. “He never did me any favors,” the former drummer for The Who, The Small Faces, and The Faces jokes, with only a hint of regret. His position is quite understandable, after Roger Daltrey called Kenney’s drumming “simplistic and stifling” in the July 1989 issue of Musician magazine. "

Kenny's a wonderful drummer, just wrong for the Who, although Keith when he died was playing like a mentally delayed 5 year old. Not that there's anything wrong with that (witness Won't Get Fooled Again from The Kids Are Alright).

Tetsu plays and teaches jazz bass back in Japan these days and has expressed great disdain for rock n' roll and the "lifestyle", as it were. He also looks like hell.

" ......and one of them changes his mind and leaves. "

*****************************************************************

Preferably Kenney .

Kenney Jones is one of the most pedestrian drummers on the face of the earth . When he played for The Who the band had no choice but to play in very small venues like ballrooms or tiny concert halls so that the echo fixed the beat . When they got to the very Large Stadium Gigs back in 1982 [ Farewell Tour ] , Kenney had an unholy knack for making every single friggin song sound EXACTLY the same --- they all had a " rumbling and a thumping " about them .... just like a school bus hurtling down the road at ninety miles per hour with a flat tire in the front and a flat tire in the back ... leaving every individual audience member in attendance with completely puzzled looks on their faces [ ... get it ?! .... faces !!!!!! :) ] and empty wallets as they headed straight to the bar in order to forget what they had just spent $200.00 to witness ........ but I digress .

After Roger kicked him out of The Who in 1989 Kenney never DID drum again and spent the rest of the next twenty years living off the vast sums of money he made as a full fledged member of The WHO ( 1978 - 1989 ) and ' moonlighting ' as a pastry chef . Word .

" I LOVE YOU ALL !!!!! "

*******************************************

" You need a New Song ,
Let's celebrate underneath the Harvest Moon ;
Her mood was all wrong ,
Why so Enraged ? ;
Somebody changed the Tune .
It's easy being obnoxious and queer ,
The difference can earn you fame ;
Nothing's left unsaid it is just another year ,
But we need shaken up just the same ...... just the same . "

Rubbish. Yes, Kenny was wrong for the Who, but they had a big tour booked, Kenny was a mate, knew the material well enough. Similar situation to the Clash asking Terry Chimes back for the '82 'Combat Rock' tour, after Topper being sacked.

This is the Faces we're talking about, not the Who. Kenny was and is a magnificent drummer - great pulse, very catchy fills. And unlike Moon-era Who, you can dance to the Faces.

Nor did he have a solid pulse, didn't even use high-hats. Sure he was great and a one off, but he wasn't not exactly a rock n' roll player. More like a not very technically gifted 11 year old jazz player trying to have fun whilst very high and drunk with some other very obnoxious cats who are ostensibly ignoring each other yet come up with this wonderful sound.

Dude, great as he was, Moonie was the un-sexiest drummer ever. Ya know what was so great about 'Who's Next', besides the songs? Glyn Johns got Keith to play a facsimile of a rock n' roll pulse. And by 'Quadrophenia' he was washed up; by 'Who By Numbers' he was so bad he often fell off his drum stool live; by 'Who Are You' he may as well have been some fat assed biker in a no account bar band trying to get laid.

**********************************************************************

Me ARSE !!!!! Quadro is the band clicking on all cylinders . Moonie's sound and fury on this one had not been heard since the Blitz !!!!!!!

" Indeed , throughout Quadrophenia Moonie's playing is highly symphonic. His fills, accenting and flair for the dramatic -- not to mention the sheer power of his performance -- is almost classical in nature, if not delivery. "
