i guess there's no harm in that?
That "Holding back the years" song was huge here in the US at one point, but that's about it.

... and which is missing its most identifiable member. People here would get upset at me saying "It's not the Faces" without Rod. Well, calling yourselves the Faces while trying to pass off what's his name as the lead singer and playing big venues with high ticket prices didn't seem to go over well with the public. As others have suggested, the guys should have just gone out and played clubs and small venues and been "Faces and Friends" or some such. It would have been fine.

Perhaps it's a good thing that the LZ reunion tour without Robert Plant didn't take place...

Costs... for me ...registred mail from Switzerland to Germany. And we have to send them back within 7 days ... I bought 3 Tickets. One of my friends is on a holiday and comes back after 7 days. One friend lives abroad and has to send me the ticket... not possible at all. And mail from Switzerland to Germany takes 2-3 days if I choose the more expensive way.. Otherwise about 5 days...
Arrrrrrghhhhh
And the hotel is also already paid (usually I pick the more expensive flexible rate.. but this timme...).. arrrrghhhhhh
And the sadest thing is that I don't see many Stonesfan Friends
Just pay us back without all the hussle and bussle...
ummm...ok....it was a lame attempt at a pun....
i look at it with geils as one night one headlines the other night the other.. something like that
the fact of the matter is that even geils can't find a promoter who wants to pay them outside of a show at a casino, detroit or boston..
its a very uphill battle for faces without rod stewart.. and this is why even though i hate rod stewart i can understand him saying he wants a huge cut...
other than that they'd need a different lead singer... hucknall may work for them but he's not a draw for anyone who likes faces.... they needed more of a rocker.. simply red is too adult contemporary .
Paul Rodgers?
Paul Rodgers was the guy I first thought of too but at this point its too late.. they'v egone with Hucknall.. they can't just change..
really they should come to the US and play 1000-1200 capacity clubs but they'd have to do it cheap.. then depending on reaction they might be able to graduate to something better.. but then it would defeat the point which i think is to get them some money
this is why i hate rod stewart so much.. besides his ridiculous prancing in that msg video he is such an @#$%&... he should have done the tour and gone in for an equal share with the rest.. as a thank you for all the shit FACES had to put with, all the contributions they made to his solo albums etc.. but no..
I've just read that interview. Rod blames "scheduling problems" for his non-involvement in the Faces reunion. Hmm.
I can't imagine Kelly Jones would be too expensive. I think that might be Rod having a dig.
Tod, that would be very helpful to get some serious news about the cancelled shows.
And btw: Hucknall's still the man. Bringing the high notes back on stage, just excellent. Imagine the Rod should do his old faces songs with his recent voice?!

Nothing against the new vocalist, it's just difficult to replace such a unique voice no matter how good you are.
I totally agree. faces can't go on tour as faces without rod stewart.
nothing against the rest of the band including mick hucknall, great musicians and
strong personalities.....but rod is the lead vocal, that's it .
steve tyler, mick jagger, robert plant, roger daltrey, their trademark is too strong ....i mean, i have never been interested to go to see the queen after mercury has died

Shoulda just hired a bass player, had Mac and Woody share the vocals (Mac is an excellent singer) and played big clubs/small theatres. Without Rod, the big draw simply isnt there.

Yeah, a Rodless Faces just doesn't grab the attention of the masses. Doesn't surprise me at all. Ronnie should just tour solo.

"Who Wants Yesterdays Faces?"
"Who Knows Yesterdays Bands?"
Nobody In The World ...
"Who Wants Yesterdays Songs,
Who Wants Yesterday Stones ... ?"
The only way The Rolling Stones can get interest is to play new songs in a fresh and modern sound. So they did as biggest R'nR-Band in the word, now nearly fifty years on stage.
And now The Faces goes festival, on stage with dozends of younger bands to catch younger people ... ;-)

my guess is the tour was cancelled because of low ticket sales. or maybe an illness? who knows. i highly doubt it was cancelled because mick or keith or charlie decided to get off their ass and do some stones work. cancelling a tour is a big deal. it makes promoters look bad, there's reputations at stake, money lost, etc...

I bet also on poor ticket sales. The price range was from 55,- € up to 100,- €, depending on the venue.
A lot money for a band which is out of the touring business for 35 years.

only other option for US getting a good double bill such as j geils band for 10 shows at 4000 seaters.. thats the maximum
That could work, but would they be willing to suffer the indignity of being the opening act? They WOULD have to be the opening act for anyone they would be paired with who would be a big enough attraction to play large venues.
i look at it with geils as one night one headlines the other night the other.. something like that
the fact of the matter is that even geils can't find a promoter who wants to pay them outside of a show at a casino, detroit or boston..
its a very uphill battle for faces without rod stewart.. and this is why even though i hate rod stewart i can understand him saying he wants a huge cut...
other than that they'd need a different lead singer... hucknall may work for them but he's not a draw for anyone who likes faces.... they needed more of a rocker.. simply red is too adult contemporary .
