Jahfin Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 From Uncut RONNIE WOOD WORKING WITH THE FACES AGAIN Rolling Stone admits they are working on a project for 2008 Ronnie Wood took part in a brief Q+A session prior to a screening of his concert film, The First Barbarians: Live From Kilburn last night (November 23). During one answer, he admitted he was working on a Faces-related project. The Rolling Stone said: “I’m looking through about 5,000 hours of Faces footage. Stuff we shot on hand-held cameras, us messing around. It’s hopefully getting a release next year.” Wood’s comments add to speculation that the Faces might reform in 2008. There are already plans to release re-mastered editions of the band’s four studio albums, and UNCUT believes the surviving former members – Wood, Rod Stewart, keyboard player Ian MacLagan and drummer Kenny Jones – have recently been in negotiations to reform for live dates in 2008. The First Barbarians: Live From Kilburn is a concert film, a mix of colour and black and white footage, was shot in London in 1974 around the time Wood released his solo record, I’ve Got My Own Album To Do. The line up featured Ronnie Wood and Keith Richards on guitar alongside Ian MacLagan, session bassist Willie Weeks and Sly And The Family Stone drummer Andy Newark. Rod Stewart contributed backing vocals. The footage comes from Wood’s own archives and has been re-mastered by his son, Jesse. Wood, who earlier in the day had been signing copies of his autobiography Ronnie, spoke fondly of the concert and his relationship with Keith and Rod. On the subject of Keith’s rather dismal set of teeth, he joked: “Look at his railings. They look like a row of condemned buildings!” “Rod said to me about five minutes before we were going on stage: ‘You’re not going to sing, are you?’ I said: ‘It’s a bit late to start worrying about that now…’” The hour-long film is released as part of a CD/DVD package of The Last Barbarians” Live From Kilburn on Wood’s own label, Wooden.

Aquamarine Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Oh, man, I'd be there! I think. With Rodders, at their height, the most reliably great live band I heard (excluding Zep), and I saw them 6 to 8 times, at every kind of gig. However, without Rod the Mod OR Ronnie Lane, would it be worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotplant Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I saw them with Stewie a long time ago. Excellent show! I would LOVE to see them again! But sheesh guys, they're NOT Zep! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetTheLedOut Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 ...then we could argue about how it'll sound; since Rod can't hit the high notes....... Yeah, you want to talk about a singer that's really lost his range... I say resurrect Steve Marriott and make this a Small Faces reunion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquamarine Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Yeah, you want to talk about a singer that's really lost his range... Didn't he have surgery or something? I lost track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetTheLedOut Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Didn't he have surgery or something? I lost track. He did on this throat a few years back, but he was already losing his voice before. Jeff Beck wanted to reunite the Jeff Beck Group and he said Rod couldn't sing in D anymore...

Swede Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I'd like to see this.. I have no clue if Rod is capable to sing like he used to since I haven't heard him sing live or anything in years.. If he can, it would be awesome. The Faces was the (1st, 2nd or 3rd, can't decide) best rock band of the 70's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
