I suppose if you can have AC/DC without Bon, Mal and Phil then in theory you can do The Faces without Ronnie Lane and Mac- but why would you want to?

An all star British Blues thing would be best for Taylor- get Aynsley Dunbar, get Kim Simmonds, get Chic Churchill....people of that ilk....

If you were going to get a female singer for this tribute wouldn't someone like..I dunno..Bjork been much closer to the spirit of Bowies music? Maybe Grace Jones if you wanted to go surreal.... Im sure Gaga was no worse than Taylor Swift or Gwen Stefani or Beyoncé or any other pop culture contemporary but ....

Cringe-worthy cruise ship karaoke cabaret....Bowie probably would have gotten a chuckle out of it....

Actually he was offered the guitar job to tour She's The Boss- he turned it down because they wouldn't meet his price and then blasted Jagger in the press for being a cheapskate.

Link to article mentioned earlier here. Also- if anyones read the "All Too Beautiful" bio on Steve Marriott, the afterword is an account by his son Toby of an afternoon he spent with Keith and Woody- how flattered he was they took the time and that they told him all about his Dads audition ..so throw that on the pile of evidence as well...(lots of second hand accounts of this in books a

Ok- so heres proof positive and we can lay this controversy to bed once and for all- 2011 interview with the Examiner.... Wyman, who retired from The Stones in 1992, reports that Glimmer Twins Mick Jagger and Keith Richards flew Gallagher out to Holland to rehearse with the Stones after Mick Taylor suddenly exited the group in 1974. Wyman says, "Rory stayed two or three days there and

Never a big Eagles fan but they weren't hacks and obviously took their craft seriously ....superlative players and singers who could reproduce the licks and harmonies in concert-I understand Randy Meisner is real rough shape...raise a glass to a real pillar of the 70's music scene...

The real star here is good old John Mayall- 80 years old plus still touring and damned if he doesn't sound just about the same as he did 50 years ago.

Lots of discussions on various hard rock/metal boards seeming to center around snarky observations of how portly Axl Rose is these days in contrast to his youthful prime- very odd- who cares how he looks? Everybody ages. From the footage I've seen and heard the real fly in the ointment is that the guys voice is shot and these days he sings in a weird semi-falsetto approximation....

Very cool- although I'd be inclined to bet against a full fledged reunion tour or new record, you can never tell with these two.....

"A black waiter accidentally spilled a tray of glasses on the floor. Nikki Blair, the restaurant owner, fired the man on the spot for having disturbed Mr. Sinatra. Frank, however, had other ideas. He called Blair over to the poker table, grabbed him by the shirt and asked Blair, "Nikki, how much is one of those glasses worth?" "About 5 dollars," replied Blair. Sinatra the

When you reach a certain age, Frank Sinatra's mastery of/importance to American popular music becomes undeniable. Its grownup music (hated it as a teen, like most yutes). I'm guessing at some point he must have given his old school New Jersey opinion of a certain skinny foppish english long hair prancing around in mascara and a sequined jumpsuit, which is why Mick says he hated him.

Absolutely the finest blues guitarist Britain ever produced.....

When the Faces broke up in 1975 I distinctly recall Rod in the press (Creem magazine I think) saying it was because "Mac and I hate each others guts". No secret Rod tried to recruit Woody and Kenney for his solo band at the time - obviously some long term bad blood between Rod and Mac.

Not sure what's become of Terry ...who may have peaked opening for the Stones in '69- a fondness for the occasional drink may have been a prob but this guy could wail!

Kinda like McCartney and Wings, Savoy Brown in recent decades is Kim and anyone else hes hired on at the time- but the classic lineup is the one fronted by Chris Youlden with Lonesome Dave on guitar, a popular concert draw in the USA back in the day.....
