STEWART: 'THERE WILL BE NO FACES REUNION'
ROD STEWART has ruled out a reunion of his iconic British rock act THE FACES, because he is disheartened by the absence of late bassist RONNIE LANE. The MAGGIE MAY singer considered a comeback with the 1970s band's surviving members KENNEY JONES, IAN MCLAGAN and RONNIE WOOD earlier this year (OCT06). But those plans have since been cancelled following Wood's recent outburst that Stewart has become "Hollywood-ified". Stewart says, "Since Ronnie Lane's gone, I've lost a lot of enthusiasm to do it because he was the heart and soul of the band." Lane died from multiple sclerosis in 1997.

He makes shitloads of money with the covers albums, no commercial reason for a Faces' comeback, no market for that. |

Of course, nobody considers doing things for the fun of it anymore, right? |

"Lane died from multiple sclerosis in 1997."
It certainly took Rod a long time to get sad abou Lane's death. |

This does certainly seem like a manufactured controversy. |

Ronnie Lane was out of the band long before he got sick or the band even broke up the first time. They had that Japanese guy on bass for a while at the end. Why not look him up? |

In the recent RS magazine interview, Rod stated that he didn't remember a whole hell of a lot from those years anyway. So suddenly it's all coming back to him in emotional waves?
Also, didn't Rod suffer from stagefright early in the Faces and practically sing behind the speakers? He could do that again... |

The real reason why there will never be a Faces reunion is because Mac won't stand to be in the same room with Rod. Unless it's to punch his ugly fuckin' face in. Rod doesn't give a fuck about Ronnie Lane. If he did, he'd put some of Ronnie's songs out and make his family some $$$. Like Mac did. Mac did an entire album of Ronnie Lane songs. What's Rod done? Not a damn thing. Fuckin' cunt.

Tetsu has fallen from the faces of the earth...pun fully intended. They have tried to find him several times, unsuccessfully. They don't even know if he is still alive. He's just....gone.

I love The Faces. Love every song.
But I'm glad theres no reunion.
Rod is so cheesy. He has no idea how to rock anymore. He is the definition of uncool now. It would come off like Tom Jones hamming it up singing Faces songs while Ronnie clowned around and waved. It would suck and ruin their great legacy.
no reunion. I'm fine with just catching Mac's gigs. |

Well said SSAL. I don't want to hear Rod sing a Credence song. Dumb asshole. Plus the Stones will be doing Euroupe this summes anyway. |

I don't know the "real" truth but I suspect something along these lines. |

Dude...now you know the real truth. Unless Mac was lying to me. Yes, I actually talked to him. Straight from the horses mouth. I crap you negative.
The more he talked about it, the more agitated he became. In fact, he became so agitated that I quickly changed the subject. The subject of Rod Stewart hits a very raw nerve with Mac. I mean, I could see the steam starting to boil out of his ears...his face flushed, nostrils flared. I'm not kidding. After that conversation, I can see no way in hell that Ian McLagan will have anything to do with something that involves Rod Stewart.

Mac does stuff for the fun of it.
He does a free show every Thursday at the Continental Club in Austin. When he's in town, of course.
I have never met a more approachable "Rock Star" than Mac. The guy is salt of the earth. When you talk to him, he actually LISTENS to what you are saying. When he talks to you he looks you right in the eye. He is simply a delight to be around.
I highly recommend that if he and the Bump Band plays in your neck of the woods...or even just near your neck of the woods...that you make a special effort to go see him. You won't regret it.

I will second that SS, as I stood in front of the B-3 @ Continental Club during SXSW in March 04, as well as conversed with MAC via email. What a thrill.
BTW, his shows on Thursdays are at the Lucky Lounge in Austin, CC Club for special gigs. |

That's right! The Lucky Lounge! I knew the Continental didn't sound right...
Thanks for the correction. |

We are all pulling the same rope.
BTW, you still have the same snail mail addy?
I've got a package for you, and no it's not any more whisky...sorry, I did not lose any bets....yet.... |

Sounds like Rod did something nasty that Mac takes quite personally. Whatever it was it must have been pretty bad to get Mac that pissed off.
