EssentialTension Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I know we had this before some years ago but it's worth it again and I always really liked Ronnie Lane's bass playing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casapete Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Great band. When I was in my teens it was either the Stones or the Faces that held my interest. Most of my mates at school were into ELP / Yes / Sabbath etc, but I always preferred the more blues driven rock bands, still do! Ronnie Lane was fantastic , both as a bassist and songwriter. Watching this makes me realise how sad it is that we lost him so soon, along with Ian MacLagan too. The Faces live had that wonderful 'loose but tight' thing going on, which didn't always translate to record IMO. Thanks for posting! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Loved the Faces back in the early days. I had Long Player which had this track live, even has Plonk Lane singing: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visog Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Blimey - that bass tone is fruity to say the least! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yank Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 The Faces were my favorite band back then. Them and Humble Pie. Amazing the talent that came out of that period in London. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jezzaboy Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 As stated by Essential T, Bob Daisley does indeed own Ronnie`s old bass. Bob had 2 Zemaitis basses and Geddy Lee wanted to buy them from him. He kept the one above and sold Ged his other one. They were a great band.

bonzodog Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Although not a fan I love all what I've heard of the faces. I would imagine, as I also think with Jimi Hendrix, the studio albums dont come close to how good they would be live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got that picture hanging on my kitchen wall! Debris brings a lump to the throat every time. Re. Maybe I’m Amazed above. He sings it well but you have to feel for RL knowing that Rod is about to effortlessly take it up a good three notches when he joins in! A great band...

GuyR Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 A few years ago in the course of my work, I went into the loft of Ronnie Lane's former flat in Kentish Town. Amongst the clutter was an old nondescript semi acoustic type bass. I remember it had a dealers sticker from somewhere in east London and no bridge. There was also an old Zemaitis case which I asked the owner - who was his partner up to his death - if I could look inside. Sadly the bass was long gone, taken by a relative, if I remember correctly. An interesting afternoon at work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
