best band of the 70's.

amazing.

"Don't try to change me!"

I hate him being called Rod the Mod, but aside from that, great band.

Where are all the piano-ey rock bands these days?

>appreciates<

hahaha i wasn't sure who was going to respond first but i knew it would be you two...

but yeah walrus.... i just wished they made more records...

They put out more albums than Oasis...

why do you hate the phrase "Rod the Mod"??

but yeah - i don't know modi - their aren't enough bands that have a proper rock and roll pianist in them anymore....

Maybe even more than Foreigner...

Thought I was lookin' good So I cycled 'cross the neighbourhood Was invited by a skinny girl Into her high class world

Left my bicycle under the stairs Laid my coat across the kosher chairs Made my way across the crowded room I had nothing to lose

My reception wasn't very keen So turning on a friendly grin Stood on the table with my glass of gin And came straight to the point

(Chorus) I was glad to come I'll be sad to go So while I'm here I'll have me a real good time

(Repeat)

Dancing madly round the room, yeah Singing loudly and sorta' out of tune Was escorted by a friendly slag 'Round the bedroom and back Wandered across to the door Missed my step and I fell on the floor. Said one word and was asked to leave Kinda' wish I was dead.

(Chorus)

The skinny girl made it clear That she only came here for the beer The vicar simply reeked of gin On my way home I happened to fall off my bicycle (Good party) I was glad to come, but I was also glad to get home

Rod is a ROD.

The Faces eat it.

i don't think that is true...

they had four (plus the live record)

had opasis have 6 or 7 now plus 2 or 3 live records....

but i reckon you're just baiting walrus.

Agreed, modi - there's just not enough rollickin' piana in bands these days.

faces only released 4 albums, oasis have released 6.

Because Mod was dead long before the Faces ever jammed.

Also, no self respecting Mod would have ever worn the awful crap Rod sported in the 70s.

if by "eat it" mondo you mean rule over every other swaggering rock adn roll band around - then yes they do :)

Oasis have 6 albums? Maybe they just all sound too samey, and I can't tell...

(Yes, I am just baiting walrus, if the Foreigner reference didn't make that blatantly obvious. Just kidding, walrus)

Ah mondo, go back to yer shed and listen keep listening to yer 'pure' records.

wasn't he given the "rod the mod" nickname when he was in "steam packet" and it stuck though no longer applicable

foreigner look like 4 dodgy PE teachers.

early faces were still kind of mod, but 70's mod.

Dan - I will go back to my 'den' and keep listening to 'good' records. No medicineman, there will be no Faces and definitely no Rod Stewart allowed.

What counts as a 'pure' record anyway?

Yeah, probably by the popular press, who labelled the Beatles as a Mod band. Stupid popular press.

I momentarily forgot that I'd be seeing Rod on March 1. Then I remembered. And I was happy.

get the new uncut

What about said tour? Ronnie mentions it at the end of his autobiography saying ''maybe a faces reuinion in the new year.. all the guys seem up for it''

And the stones have no tour plans, but Rod coming to Oz now make sme think it won't happen.

I wish Ronnie Lane were still alive. Maybe Keef could play bass?

...McLagan told 6 Music: “We’re hoping to get together later this year, just to get together, to play and then we may have some news - but I want it to happen, badly. It’s gonna be great if it does happen.”

I’ve got my fingers crossed, my eyes and my legs crossed too, Mac.

Rod Stewart has announced that Ronnie Wood and the rest of the Faces are finally to regroup in the studio next week (November 17).

yawn, don't get me wrong i love the faces but another reformed band is just boring

So the 'Boys' had their first rehearsal today. Wonder how it went?

I read Rod's touring bass player will be playing with them. Surely they could find someone of the same pedigree from the old London scene to fill Ronnie Lane's parts?

Still, I would love to see the four of them playing those songs, no matter who is playing bass.

yep I would love to see them too!

fuck off this will be fucking awesome

rod rocking again!!!!!

according to ron wood (via nme.com) the reunion is happening next year. assuming rod still has his vocal chops in order this should be killer!

i appreciate the faces.

same

I happened upon Rod Stewart Unplugged on foxtel last night and was pleased to see Ronnie playing guitar with him. If only Mac had been there.... (I only lasted thru EPTAS and Maggie May, then tuned out when the crap started.)

a reunion tour? ooh la la! count me in!

^I see what you did there!

Rumour now is Flea will be playing bass...

Blergh.

Hey surely he's a better choice than Rod's bass player or Sting (a vicious rumour on a Stones forum)

He's slap the whole time.

Nooooo.

They wouldn't allow it.

Would they? (hopes)
