In an interview the other day Rod suggested Kelly Jones, but he would most probably be too expensive. I'd like to see Spike from the Quireboys.
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.

Better call it "Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood & Friends" tour, otherwise you may have even more cancelled gigs.

No offense to anyone, but why Germany? Were the Germans clamoring for a Faces reunion? Only to have now turned out to have been lying about it all along? If they really want to get this show on the road they've got to tour the UK and the United States.
This reminds me of idiotic attendance threads on sports IMBs.Quote

I agree. They should also be booking theaters or larger clubs that will hold 2,000-4,000 maximum.

Does Mick Hucknall mean anything in America? Did Simply Red have hits there?
That "Holding back the years" song was huge here in the US at one point, but that's about it.

I don't think MH was picked for his drawing power as a big-name singer. In any case, someone who went to see the "not-Faces" on the strength of those two Mick Hucknall US hits wouldn't hear what they were expecting - his style with the new band is very different. Which is why so many here don't believe it can work - but it does, musically at any rate.

Their only hope of playing to large numbers of people in the states would be to go out on a summer package tour with TWO other 70s bands of equal or greater name recognition, play large outdoor amphitheaters, price the pavilion seats at $35, and the lawn seats at $10.

they cancelled before anyone had the opportunity to rip the set list.

their tour hasn't had much publicity, has it? any articles, interviews..in rock mags?
If Rolling Stone or Uncut or one of them would do some kind of story, it would help...
I mean its great for us fans that Kenny, Mac, and Ronnie have played together again! Glen Matlock and Mick Hucknall getting the music so well is a story, to me, that needs wider exposure..
