Ronnie Wood and Rod Stewart to reform The Faces

Rehearsal booked for Monday!

(from music radar)

From one dirty rock 'n' roll band to another...

Rod Stewart has confirmed that The Faces are set to reunite for rehearsals, with a full reformation likely.

Speaking to Raysgigs.com, Stewart said that all of the surviving members were due to assemble for a rehearsal on 17 November.

Stewart's touring bassist is expected to fill in for original bassist Ronnie Lane, who passed away in 1997.

Ronnie Wood is on board, which casts further doubt on his future in The Rolling Stones, following speculation that recent tabloid attention regarding his personal life has caused disquiet in the Stones camp.

When you take a long time, you're slow. When your boss takes a long time, he's thorough.

When you don't do it, you're lazy. When your boss doesn't do it, he's too busy.

When you make a mistake, you're an idiot. When your boss makes a mistake, he's only human.

When doing something without being told, you're overstepping your authority. When your boss does the same thing, that's initiative.

When you take a stand, you're being pig-headed. When your boss does it, he's being firm.

When you overlooked a rule of ettiquette, you're being rude. When your boss skips a few rules, he's being original.

When you please your boss, you're arse-creeping. When your boss pleases his boss, he's being co-operative.

When you're out of the office, you're wandering around. When your boss is out of the office, he's on business.

When you're on a day off sick, you're always sick. When your boss has a day off sick, he must be very ill.

When you apply for leave, you must be going for an interview.

When your boss applies for leave, it's because he's overworked.

Thoughts of the week

For the long promised Albums You MUST Hear Before You Die!

(from musictap)

The Beatles - Abbey Road. The last album the Beatles recorded. This is the first of their albums I experienced (I was born in 1970). I still have the originally my folks bought way back when. The energy and emotion in every track is like they were throwing one big party to send their selves on different paths. You can feel the joy, the excitement, and sometimes the sorrow during a listen to this masterpiece.

Jimmy Buffett - You Had To Be There. Awesome live double album. The sound is incredible and the adlibs are great, this is buffett during his wilder days and he keeps the energy up throughout. This is what a live show should be. A few of the songs never made it to other Buffett albums but are excellent just the same.

Cheap Trick – Cheap Trick (1977). The first and probably the hardest the guys will rock till they got out of the 80’s. The musicianship on these tracks are fantastic. Cheap Trick are one of the most underrated bands ever.

Def Leppard – Hysteria. The first made for CD album created. They put the max limit on the amount of time you could fit on a CD and every second of it is pure listening joy. The sounds, the effects, the music…. A explosion of joy for you ears. Just put on the headphones, close your eyes, and enjoy over an hour of the best pop metal ever created.

Great White – Once Bitten. A hidden treasure of metal/blues. The songs “Rock Me” and “Save Your Love” are reasons enough to get this one. Overall it is listenable from start to finish. This has always been one of my favorite bands and this is by far one of their best.

Sammy Hagar - Sammy Hagar (Later renamed “I Never Said Goodbye”. This is the one that he was still under contract with Geffen to put out after he joined Van Halen. You can feel that he really let loose on this one and did everything he wanted to. The songs “Give To Live” and “Eagles Fly” are the hits off of this one but there is so much more. “Boys Night Out”, “Back Into You”, “Hands And Knees”, “Returning Home”, “Privacy”…. Every song on here rocks out. This is probably my # 2 pick for Albums you must hear before you die.

Huey Lewis And The News – Sports. Rock N Roll at its finest. “Heart Of Rock N Roll”, “If This Is It”, “I Want A New Drug”, and “Heart And Soul”…. If you listened to the radio in 1983 – 1984 you are bound to know these songs. From start to finish this is the Best album they ever did.

Motley Crue – Dr. Feelgood. This is the one that put them over…. The edge. From beginning to end a scorcher of what all the other metal bands wanted to be. The production is top notch and the sound is incredible. This is one of the finest metal cds ever created. “Dr. Feelgood”, “Don’t Go Away Mad”, “Without You”, and “Kickstart My Heart” are still staples for any Motley Crue fan.

Elvis Presley – Heart and Soul. Yes a compilation cd. If ever there was an artist that could make you feel the emotion from his voice it is Elvis Presley. “Are You Lonesome Tonight?”, “Anything That’s Part Of You”, “Always On My Mind”, “Love Letters”, and “Suspicious Minds” each one of these are driven by the power of Elvis’ voice. Elvis is forever and always the King and for a good reason.

FYI:

KISS may record a new album

Good morning Satchland..

such a sad bit of news that mitch has passed. he and keith moon and ginger baker were the mad men of percussion back in the day. only ginger is left. RIP mitch. zinc. i wouid have to agree on most of those alubms.

Cappy Steve - LMHO LMHO!!!!! If only it were true!!

Good Morning Satchland......How Is Everyone?

Sorry, I'm like 50 pages behind. Thanks to those who voted for us for New Group under the ac/Hot/ac category for New Music Weekly. The awards show is at the Avalon Theater in Hollywood on Nov. 22. If your interested in still casting a vote click Here and go to ac/Hot/ac and pull down for Max Cady Band. My wife Cindy and the band leaders girlfriend Patti are representing the band in Hollywood. We're all really excited and feeling pretty good about making the list.

The demo cd is finished and made copies for the club owners. We're in the process of putting a press kit together so everything is looking pretty good and I can't be happier. You can check the originals and some of the demo songs Here and Here Thanks for the support. You guys and gals are the best.

DoTheStu..... Cool Joe story on the bootleg. I too was impressed by Mountain. Leslie is singing is so strong and I was a little taken back by that. Mountain was a great opening band choice for this tour and from looking at the podcasts it's looking like there having a lot of fun.

Speaking of the podcast and in paticular the photo shoot with (Father of the solid body guitar) Mr. Les Paul. I watched his new DVD the other night and it was awesome. I would highly recommend viewing this. It's really good. The man is a frickin' legend for sure and at 90+ plus still plays a Jazz club in New York every Monday night. Scenes from that club are in Joe's recent podcast. We are truly blessed by this man.

SuperDave...... Yeah, I know what you mean about Setzer. We cover Rock This Town and Stray Cat Strut and I gotta tell you coping his shit is not easy. He's an unbelievable guitarist and doing his own thing. I was a little hesitant to cover these songs cuz' I just didn't think they go over well "Live". Man, was I wrong. People go nuts at our gigs when we play these songs. Rockabilly is not my thang but it forced me to play a style I'm not familiar with and I learned from it. It's all good.....

Have A Great Day Everyone !!!!!

Edit.....BTW....Huey wasn't that bad. I like some of his stuff

Hey for all you Londoners at T2J......

Joe Bonamassa May 4th, 2009 at the Royal Albert Hall.

Cool....That's gonna Rock !!!!!

Cappy>i do like ibinhads, they sound & play really well, i still have an old RG560 but the top o range models imo are way overpriced, for that sort of money you can have a custom guitar tailor made t your own specs by a top notch luthier

ibinhad "Ibanez" are also good for heavy duty dart throwin

Cappy:It depends on the parts i record or the gig, i use various guitars for different jobs my main squeeze is an old Yamaha pacifica 1221 top o range job "not t be confused with bottom of range pacificas!"customized beyond belief, they dont make em anymore, it really is an awesome guitar t play defo will be my live guitar for many years t come

Just bought a Fender YJM sig strat recently, i,m using that for most of the elec solo guitar parts on cd2.Its a weird guitar tho, great tone for recording direct but through my gear n amp the Pacifica has the edge

Custom Balladeer steel string

yamaha baby semi acoustic fitted with a fishman humbucker great for celtic stuff n live acoustic work, zero probs every gig

Classical cutaway Epiphone i,ll be gettin another classical n flamenco guitar in the next couple o years, currently scouting around Andalucia checking out luthiers

My old Ibanez 560 now fretless, all my guitars are stock & all are modded up t the max

OK, here are some MP3s from the 2004 Experience Hendrix gig with Satch, Mitch Mitchell, and Billy Cox, among other people:

Manic Depression
Spanish Castle Magic
Voodoo Child

This show was at the Warfield on 2/26/04 recorded by T2Jer zonin, but I don't think he's been on the site for a while...

I don't have time to listen to the songs again so I don't remember who is on each one, but the first two are mainly just a trio (JS, MM, BC) and the last one is a big jam with those three and several other people. If you look through zonin's posts from around that time (do a search here) you should probably find info about the show...maybe someone can post it.

Jeff Campitelli is "flip ice left, jam". Galen Henson is "neon hen slag".

Also, the cell phone/keys thing is an interesting idea, but it's a myth.

Michelle--What sad news! I like to think Mitch Mitchell is in Music Heaven jamming with all the other musicians that have passed on before!

I remember meeting Keith Moon at LAX back in 1972. One of his front teeth was missing and someone in the meeting group asked if Roger Daltry hit him with his microphone. I don't remember what he said, but it made everyone laugh. I remember he was so happy to see us and signed autographs for us all. I was on cloud 9! It was very sad to hear he died 6 years later.

DoTheStu--I hear your request and will postpone my petition for rain until Sunday. Also, thanks for the review of the San Diego show. I don't have tickets to SF, but I am grateful that you will be going.

Maritime--Thanks for your links to the great Dick Dale and Jeff Beck vids.

For everyone who has tickets to the LA, Reno and SF shows--you are lights to this world!! I am grateful to each and every one of you people for your love, energy, vitality and especially your love of Joe's fantastic music! I don't have tickets to the shows, however, I have been collecting Joe's albums on CD and I know in the future I will get tickets to one of Joe's shows and get to meet some of you. I am looking forward to it. SOOOOO....Take heart GottaHaveJoe--your time will come AND Joe will be there for you!

Gotta get ready for work at the library.

Well, it's that time again. I'm off to lunch and then I'm heading up to LA for tonight's show. It's funny to think that exactly 24 hours from now I'll be 500+ miles away, traveling to another Satch gig...AGAIN. ;-)

For those of you keeping score at home, I'm picking up Al at a train station in (haha) Dublin, CA, at about 9 a.m. tomorrow. Then the craziness begins...
