Longtime No Expiration readers know that I don't like to bring the negativity, there's too much of that in the world. But
this is a stupid idea:
Ronnie Wood,
Ian McLagan and
Kenny Jones are now talking about doing a
Faces reunion in 2010, with
or without
Rod Stewart. The Faces without Rod Stewart is as weak as
Aerosmith without
Steven Tyler. I don't blame these guys for wanting to play together again, and of course they'd do Faces songs. But if Rod Stewart is still walking this earth, and they're calling it The Faces, it just comes off as totally bogus. Ronnie: would you do a Rolling Stones tour with a different singer?
Billboard reports that they may actually use, of all people, former
Simply Red singer
Mick Hucknall. I wonder how Mick Hucknall would feel if Simply Red toured without
him? Hucknall recently played with Ron, Ian and Kenny at
a charity gig. That's cool for a charity gig, not a tour. I understand how annoying it must be for the guys, especially Ian and Kenny, to watch Rod do lame solo album after lame solo album and not reunite the band. But I don't think calling it The Faces is going to go over well.
