Ronnie Wood and Kenney Jones Talk The Faces on Hall of Fame Induction 

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....

WONDERFULL SAID Sue a Small Faces fan So wonderfull !!!!!!!!! MAY GOD BLESS YOUR HEART !!!!!!!!!

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

Well said.

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!

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

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!

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???

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

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.

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.

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

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?

nes still going strong though

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!! 🎶 ✌️🇦🇺

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

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

YEAH, RONNIE WAS STRUGGLING WITH COKE AND ALC HERE...HE IS WIRED

And you could learn how to spell
