- To many rock fans, The Faces are more famous for what what they did shortly after the band split in 1975. Guitarist Ron Wood joined the Rolling Stones, drummer Kenney Jones joined The Who and singer Rod Stewart became, well, Rod Stewart. They have been�eligible�for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for many years, and some members had given up on the idea they'd ever make it. "I thought we'd been bypassed and forgotten about," says Jones. "But obviously not." The band is being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on April 14th.�
The group reformed a few years ago with Simp - Розваги

What a lovely guy Kenny Jones is.. 10/10
The Small Faces were the only band for me in the 60s. My bedroom walls were splattered with posters. I was so in love with Steve Marriott. Best time to be a teenager. No other decade comes close. Long live the 1960s. I would do it all again in a heartbeat
I am so envious. During this time in the US, we never heard of the Steve Marriott. I had to make due with plastering my walls with Davey Jones/Monkees - not even close....
Ronnie has an unbelievable memory for details from 40-50 years ago, and, unlike some rock big-shots, is never reticent to share these details with the fans. Yes, he like to talk, and sometimes interrupts, but you can always feel his deep appreciation and enthusiasm for the world he has been a part of and helped to create. Thanks, Ronnie!
Sean Rockwell . You've put that so well !! Ronnie is a genuine article haha !
I wonder if you ever heard his Radio Show on BBC Radio 6, I think , about 10 / 12 years ago ? It ran for a good while & deservedly won an Award or two ! His music knowledge & passion are incredible ! & he was always listening to some Newer stuff as well, bands that his kids had told him about, not just delving backwoods to ancient roots !
Peter Mills where was rod????
Class act. Saw him twice at his peak.
With the rock world losing so many of its iconic artists it's really great to hear people like Ron and Kenny talking about the good old days.
This stuff is simply priceless! I could watch this for hours. Both of these guys are humble in completely different ways, but genuine as it gets.
Ronnie loves Faces so much. I know he's stepping all over Kenny, but this was Ronnie's first love. He's a kid in this interview. I'm thankful to see it.
Your right, but did wonder where Ronnie's trumpet was ! Kenny is to much of a gentleman to butt in and hog the conversation.
Drugz.
Kenney was always the shyest. Part of his appeal.
I saw Kenny Jones both with The Faces (their last tour after Ronnie announced he was joining the Stones) and The Who (their FIRST farewell tour) and he kicked ass both times. An excellent, underappreciated drummer.
lol the FIRST farewell tour... i've seen the who a bunch, and you know when you're chatting with folks going into the show i make a joke, 'you know pete says he always puts on a good show because there's someone out there who is seeing their very first Who farewell tour..."
@@matth9901 Lol...the WHO is like that furniture store that has a perpetual going out of business sale....God love'em
Kelly Jay .
Actually Rod 'announced' that he was going solo ! which allowed Ronnie to continue his Stones ' apprenticeship ' !! I would love to see a Faces Reunion , Rod , Ronnie & Kenney but without Ronnie Lane & Ian Mac perhaps not !?
agree
Approximately 5:25 Kenny states about photos in the book " I didn't realize we fell over so much every picture we're on the floor" Classic line .
Definately my fav drummer ever....... the Faces were absolutely brilliant.
You're not going to stop Ron Wood from having fun. Great interview!
Ron Wood is ACE !!!!! Me him once and had me picture taken with him by Jo Wood !!!
Steve Marriott was simply the personification of the words Rock and Roll. The ultimate front man. The man had the best vocals of any lead singer and his ability to pen lyrics rates far superior to the Beatles the Stones or that of Carlos Santana. The first time I saw the Faces he impressed me with his showmanship. Once you lay eyes on him it’s over. He left us too soon. I’ve seen thousands of bands and Steve was addicting. Humble Pie and the Faces left me with too much serotonin. We could use another Marriott. The guy was a LEGEND. It’s that simple to me
Agree totally. Small Faces was phenomenal! Steve Marriott really never could ever be replaced or duplicated. Faces played well but they became an entirely different sound than SFs.
I totally agree with you both. I love both Humble Pie and Faces, but wish Steve had never left Small Faces, they were a perfect foursome No one compares to Steve Marriott for singing, charisma and showmanship. Although I am happy the Small Faces were inducted, Rolling Stone has never acknowledged Steve's talents. Where does he place on RS's lists for 100 Greatest Rock Singers and 100 Greatest Rock Front Men??
0 !?! No where, not even mentioned - disgusting...
@@cindyfalstrom7231 That's outrageous. In terms of look, charisma and performance during the 60s, Marriott's only 'best frontman' competition in my opinion was Jim Morrison. And I think Marriott wins ;)
Kristi. I think Steve Tyler carries on the mantle of Marriots work. ty
He was great in The Who and he fit in perfectly. His playing live between 1979 and 1981 was fantastic. There are tons of live shows on youtube. Listen to him on the Kampuchea concert or their run at MSG 79'. Keith Moon was dead and there was no other drummer but Kenney they wanted. Simple as that. He'd been friends with them since the sixties and he came from two bands every bit as good (and as popular) as The Who. Selecting him made perfect sense.
Wow these guys look great and their minds are still sharp..Kenney ooks about 20 years younger than his bio age
Good guys. Kenney Jones is one of my all time favourites. He can play the song and that's a fine thing to behold.
Oh my god that was beautiful
The Faces, my favourite live band!
Some them live a couple of times at The Auditorium Theater Chicago Illinois, what great shows, rollicking good time,they really did look as though they were having a great time on stage. GOD BLESS guys. 🖤👽
Two great guys and musicians.
Pure Rock and Roll.
Steve Marriott deserves the highest fucking honor in RRHOF. The man is a fucking unrated LEGEND. Top 3 greatest rock singers of all time. Its sad he wasnt there to be inducted.
Amen!
RRHOF and Rolling Stone Magazine are a joke. They reward the mediocre (not these guys) and ignore many great artists. I read Rolling Stone Magazines list of 100 greatest singers in rock. I didn't expect Steve Marriott to be in the top 10 (though he should be IMHO), but at least the top 20. Where did they place him? NO WHERE!?! They didn't even mention him - disgusting. RIP Steve, always the greatest to your fans...
@@cindyfalstrom7231 What'dya expect from a rag that has Ray Davies as only the 27th greatest songwriter (should be top 3, imo) but has overrated midget _Prince_ at 18th?! Lol. And a bad joke at that.
Wow! This was a much more entertaining interview than I'd anticipated; I only wish it went longer. Wood and Jones are two greats with a lot of history between them and it's good to see them together again. Cheers, mates!
Ronnie being inducted for the Faces has to mean more than being in with the Stones.
I don't know. I kind of doubt it. Ronnie wanted to be with the Stones. It was inevitable. He was waiting for the right time. Not taking anything away from the Faces. But without a lead singer who was devoted to the group, they really could not endure. Rod wanted to be on his own.
@@bethh.9647 my point is that if Ronnie never joined the Stones, they’d still be Hall of Fame without him or his small contributions to those few good ones before they went even more professional
@@thomasminarchickjr.7355 agree with you, Sir
Was great to see Simp back again when they reformed. ty
Love seeing these two reminice about the Faces' days.
My youth through the 60's and 70's. So many, Ringo, Ginger Baker, Keith Moon, Charlie Watts, there were a lot of clocks, then there was a whole explosive percussive rhythm section, Kenny Jones 20 minute solos whilst the band went for a piss or a pint. Kenny Jones. There is nothing else to say,
I love Ron Wood. I consider him the grit in Faces and the Stones.
Great interview
One of my favorite videos of all times is "Ronnie, Buddy and Johnny.
It's a must see
They were a great band live , there tour of Australia in 73 was amazing
Mr. Jones drumming was one of the vital ingredients in the unique sound of the Small Faces. When the initial surge of the Beatles had subsided The Small Faces were my band! Steve Marriott was my hero and OGDEN's was and still is my No.1 Album. When Rod came along I still loved the band and appreciated Ronnie Lane even more! Just too fucking much, yeah?
In the early '70's, whenever I invested four or five bucks to purchase a long playing 33&1/3 vinyl album, any of the various incarnations of the Faces albums were well worth more than the sticker price, and were played a hell of a lot!
These guys are amazing.
Marriott was the nuts and guts it's all about him. He was and will always be in another solar system to the rest left still learning and earning from him.
Well said.
Love Ronnie and Rod oxo
Rock on 💙
I recently discovered the Small Faces (starting to actually listen to their work) but the Faces have always been one my favs and are of the greatest, best, fun, cool rock traditions. I actually prefer Woody in the Faces. Kenny Jones is a very underrated and talented drummers in music
I have also discovered the Small Faces only recently. We missed out in the US. I am so impressed by their amazing talent and versatility. Their music was so innovative, especially for 1965-68. A brilliant mix of soul, pop, rock, psychedelia, whimsy and music hall. I am still angry, over 50 years later, that Steve Marriott (bless his soul) broke up this perfect band of brothers. However, if he had not there would not have been Humble Pie or the Faces whom I also love. RIP Steve, Ronnie Lane, and Mac.
Love these guys!
Two good blokes
I got to see Steve Marriot many times in the '80's in Detroit when he would tour with Humble Pie and Box of Three. Steve never gave less than 100% and converted many to becoming musicians themselves simply by watching him up on stage. He was a true rock & roll warrior. Steve, Ronnie and Mac gave us so much and left us too soon, Peace.
I am from Dearborn and also was blessed to see Pie. I wonder where the whole introduction is here on youtube.
kat Mats Introduction has to be floating around here somewhere. I saw Marriot @ Harpo's and Royal Oak Theater and a couple times in Germany. U?
I was so incredibly lucky, I got to see Ian Mac in Nashville only a couple of months before he passed. It was totally excellent, and Ian was magical.
JugaJuga14 One of my regrets was not seeing Mac! I'm glad your review of his show was nothing but stellar, thanks for the response! Peace.
Good on you, sir!
Great memories from some great guys
Great stuff great lads
Anyone who thinks Kenney Jones is a bad drummer never saw him play live in the Faces. Simple as that. Not every drummer can be Keith Moon.
I didn't care much for the Faces... I remember Ronnie Lane saying that he used to get annoyed that Rod kept knicking all their best songs for his solo albums. But more than that, they were always going to be in the shadows of what Steve, Ronnie, Ken and Ian had done. Hard act to follow.
this is hilarious..i love ronnie wood! bad ass
I don't know, Jones is a hell of a drummer. Really, he's freaking awesome with the Faces. I can't explain how amazed I felt when I first heard Faces and listened to that drumming. For some reason, though, he isn't the same with The Who... I don't know why. He is good (not as good as he was with the Faces, imo, and obviously not as good as Keith Moon), but on Faces he is excellent.
Perhaps out of respect to Keith Moon? Have a listen to what he says.
I know Roger Daltrey didn’t think it worked saying it had nothing to do with Kenny’s ability, they were just two totally different kind of drummers.
Having said that who could ever have replaced Moon he was a total one off.
Keith would not of worked in the faces he would of been too busy Kenney although a solid drummer did well from 79-81 but something happened with his drum sound on its hard I thought the drum sound was too thin for the songs, Kenney is a timekeeper moon just hit everything double time
that gave them one of their quirks
I loved Keith Moon but Kenny kept time better
Kenny Jones smashing guy 😉👍
Steve Marriott is the wonderful musician.....without him you wouldn‘t musically ask these „small/the faces“
kenny jones is just a nice person its a shame more people are not like him oh and he is a fantastic drummer rock on kenny j vincent edwards and what can you say bout ronnie
top shelf geezer
Tom Wright has an excellent book about his time with the Faces and the Who, great photography and stories. It's called "Roadwork."
ANYWAY KENNEY JONES IS A TOP GREAT DRUMMER as said :A GREAT BAND HAS A GREAT DRUMMER SMALL FACES FACES THE WHO just hearing I AM LOSING YOU
That's all you need!!
Still Relevant all around🎙️
Kenney is a very good drummer. I saw him with The Who in Greensboro, NC. In this vid, he's much more polite that Ronny "The Interrupter" Wood.
Kenney Jones didnt suck in the who!!!
ronnie ♥
Please play "i'm Losing You"
Kenny Jones is one of 'rocks' great drummers just listen to the Small Faces.
So sad Ronnie Lane didn't live to see this
And Steve. Steve, Ronnie and Kenney were 3 mod teenagers from the East end who started an amazing family tree of future artists. Long live the Small Faces!
Kenny Is a gent much the same as Charlie (W) it’s probs a drummer thing Ron is Ron totally chatty man everyone’s friend not a nasty bone etc They are different but both brilliant, and who the fu-- said Kennys not a good drummer? Dum wit dip stick Kenny is frigin amazin.
Kenney Jones: Highly accomplished and dependable drummer. He has aged remarkably well.
Speaking of The Faces, what the hell happened to Ron Woods' face?
Bob Schneider It's called "no body fat". Bet he registers zero. What would yours register?
@@frankiebutler2894 it's actually called acne.
Jez I AM his face who cares
Wood's
So glad Ronnie didn’t kill himself when he fell backwards off the stage while the Faces did I’m Losing You video. I think alcohol could have been a factor. Stay well Ronnie
❤❤
"I didn't realise we fell over so much, we fell over a lot". Yeah, right, 'fell' - so pissed, and didn't care!!
Those were the days.fally down beer .just great.
jarrow rod Partly hard living, together with heredity/genes and NO BODY FAT. He could have fillers injected, but then he'd lose that characteristic that is his. I applaud him for being Ronnie. Whatever would some of you Cowboys with keyboards do then???
oh man, he looks like my old Italian great grandmother. Dude, I'm not knocking him just stating a fact that hard living will do that to you.
Maybe this should have been called the Ron Wood interview. He's not letting Kenney Jones get a word in. I had to stop listening after half of it, just because of that.
Kenny Jones in the Who... check out the Who live from when he was in the band and you will see he was kicking ass at those shows... he was wrongly maligned by Daltry, the problem with the Who at that time was Townshend!
Yeah I had read that Jones and Daltrey didn’t get along that well. Kenney was the drummer when I saw The Who back in the early 80s.
O rosto do kane igual ele tocando maggi
Ronnie's so cute.
The Small Faces were the band & Steve Marriott was the man - end of
According to Jerry Shirley (HP's drummer), Ronnie and Rod often trashed Steve in the press, while Steve never said anything bad about them. Everyone kept pointing out that it took 2 to replace Steve, but Steve himself NEVER said that. Jerry also said that it was Steve who recommended Ronnie call Ronnie lane about playing with SF's. He only wanted the best for his old mates, while they were all quite bitter towards Steve. Steve didn't care about money and fame (as Rod did), he just wanted to make great music. Who was the true artist?
Kenny, did get some words in. Wood's story just took too long.
LOL Woody can talk under wet concrete!
@@TombstoneHeart I involuntarily stepped back from the screen every time Ronnies 'black dot eyes' looked into the camera.
I wish Steve and Ronnie (the good one) was there to give everyone else a kicking (they make Steve seem like a villian)
I adore the Small Faces and sincerely wish Steve hadn't left them. According to Kenney's book (excellent read) there were a number of reasons, all which should of been worked out if Steve hadn't been so impatient. Steve absolutely HATED being a teen idol and just wanted respect for his musical abilities, not his looks. Some say he was traumatized by the crazy little screaming girls who would tear him to pieces if given the chance. But also, he and his songwriting partner Ronnie lane were having "creative differences". Ronnie was softer, but Steve wanted to rock harder, thus his wanting to add Peter Frampton to the mix so it would fill out their sound and Steve could focus more on singing - the others refused. The Ying and Yang of Steve and Ronnie's personalities made them best friends and wonderfully creative songwriters, but ultimately tore them apart. Ronnie L. was very bitter and they didn't speak for about 10 years. Steve did have some personality issues, but he was no villain. All Steve ever cared about was making great music. Bless his soul
What’s Ronnie wearing ‘round his neck? 🤔 I remember watching Kenney telling that story maybe it was in conversation with Steve Jones.
Seeing the faces of Ronnie and Kenney, it's really hard to believe that Ronnie is only a year and three months older than Kenney. It seems that Wood is twenty years older. That's the consequences of being in The Stones for so long living a lifetime full of excesses, and of being a long time partying friend of Keith Richards.
nes still going strong though
Jeez. Kenney's got to be quick to get a word in edge ways with Woody about!
i heard kenny jones and daltry hated each other
Kenney Jones stars in our upcoming documentary film on the History of Tin Pan Alley. The film opens this year's Portobello International Free Film Festival ...More here ua-cam.com/video/HZTdqGv4guA/v-deo.html
Why is Ronnie so negative about Steve?
Both Rod & Ronnie trashed Steve in the press. Steve said in an interview "I don't know why, I never did anything to them". Personally, I think they were insecure about trying to replace Steve who was the greatest.
@@cindyfalstrom7231 Yes. That makes perfect sense. Actually, they should have been insecure. It took 2 of them to replace him.
I love and adore Rod and Ronnie to bits. Such incredibly talented artists and insane entertainers.
No need for them to trash talk anyone.
But I have to say, Steve Marriott hands down was the King of being even more. They were mere knights in his kingdom.
Thanks for the reply!!
🎶 ✌️🇦🇺
Tonwsend would be the last person id ever take anything from, including advice. Oh, apart from 'that' book. Still waiting on that.
Ronnie-Let the bloke get a word in edgewise! lol
Ron Wood should stop slagging Marrioot off. Hes done it for decades.
Took 2 people to replace Marriott in the (Small) Faces. Woody AND Rod Stewart. Tells you something about the GREAT Steve Marriott.
@@macadoo2530 aye and they still couldn't lace his boots.
He didn't slag him off
@@TheHeeksy Sue he did many times. Do some research.
@@mattojorojo Ronnie Wood doesn''t slag him off in this interview
can kenny get a word in...lol
Ron ... you are disrespecting your friend Kenney ... Let Kenny talk ... Kenney has a voice
YEAH, RONNIE WAS STRUGGLING WITH COKE AND ALC HERE...HE IS WIRED
Kenney celebrated with a split....
I think Kenny is a little embarrassed with Ron Wood
i think you're right...
No no!
Mikey Hall I think they have been around each other long enough to know strengths/weaknesses. It took Kenny a moment to be comfortable; but when that happened, he had no trouble speaking. Why is everyone with a keyboard always so down on Ronnie. I've never read or heard one of his peers speak unkindly of him. AND he is very generous when playing with others. Let me hear Ronnie play any day!!!
I am Kenny I am not embarrassed by Ronnie Wood he is my friend I've been playing with him for years!
In
Why.
Wanna have more fun with these two gentlemen ? Go see this ua-cam.com/video/e9r6jF8f2RY/v-deo.html
Great drummer Kenny still thin Marriott was the best lead singer Small faces.
Ronnie wood for fucks sake ........ Kenny is such a lovely fella , met him on a few occasions , sure he wanted to mention and would have mentioned Ronnie Lane as it was him that really put the Faces together after the Steve left the Small Faces ..... but like other comments have mentioned Wood just interrupted and faffled on with BS .....
What the f*ck is Ronnie on?😂
Two great musicians though but Kenney should have brought a roll of duct tape 😂
Roger daltrey took his frustrations with townshed and entwistle and moons death, out on kenny jones. He would not tour with the who in 89 if kenny was the drummer. Roger can be an ass sometimes.
Ronnie should not be so ignorant
damn woody you interrupt Kenny !!
lol poor kenney cant get a word in.
They should reform as “The Feces”.
And you could learn how to spell
Kenney could pass from Pete Townshend
Ron Wood dosen't know when to shut up.
Kenney can’t get a word in at all
I always enjoyed Ronnie until now ; too much rabbit Ron.
