Rowniez koncertowy bootleg Faces - Live In Concert 1970 wydany przez Subway Rec.
Rod was a face in the West End, used to hang around the original Finches with the remnant s of the Beat scene - I know we scored there a few times when things were a bit scarce around Wardour Street.Rod Stewart was always there, the barnet was the same and a mod one, although only a little more extravagant.
He came through the original blues scene Long John and all. So his credentials were impecable.
The Small Faces never came from the same direction, none were prominent on the early blues scene. They sort of came in at the original mod end of it all , then the psychedelia.
There's no doubt that Rod Stewart had fine blues voice , listen to Every Picture to get the gist. Although some say he sounded constipated. Steve Marriott also had a great voice, if only an East London lad had come to prominence through the same illuminated. path as Rod Stewart, Clapton, Jeff Beck, John Mayall ,et al. Then things might have been different..
What was your state of mind at the time you joined the Faces?
The Jeff Beck Group was falling apart, and our favorite band was the Small Faces, with Steve Marriott. They were so fantastic, so much energy. They were all the same size [laughs]. A band of merry men.
When Steve Marriott left to form Humble Pie, that really annoyed Rod and myself. But I was the one who took action. I didn't know them — I just got Ronnie's number and rang him up out of the clear blue sky: "Ronnie, you don't know me, but my name's Ron as well, and I don't want to see the Small Faces disintegrate now that Marriott's left. What are you gonna do?" And Ronnie Lane said, "I don't know, mate. Do you fancy comin' over and we'll have a little play?" Yeah, all right!
We were so shy of each other — we all played with our backs to each other, just to get the feel. But we spoke through the music. We knew we were meant for each other. And we went on for months without even talking about a vocalist. Because they were very wary. They had been burned by Steve, and they didn't want to get burned again.
I brought up Rod's name. They were like, "We don't want another Steve Marriott!" I said, "Don't worry, he's not like that. He's our mate. Just give him a chance." So Kenney finally asked him down. We'd be rehearsing in the basement at Bermondsey [the Rolling Stones' rehearsal space], and Rod would listen at the top of the stairs.
Steve had a specific guitar and vocal style. Your guitar playing transformed the sound of the band.
Steve was the voice, and a strummer on guitar. He had that funky effect on guitar. I brought more of the pickin', as well as the funk, to accompany the beef that Kenney was putting out.
I don't know. I mean, he was very much recognised by his peers, you know. "Steve Marriott, wow great voice". Thinking about it, it was because he never went solo, he was always a part of a group. Only later in his career he went off and he did "Packet of Three" and these little solo bands. But for many years he refused to leave, he refused to go solo. But you ask any..., you ask Paul Rodgers, Frankie Miller, Robert Plant and they would say...he was ??? (przepraszam, ale to wywiad audio i ze słuchu nie potrafię odtworzyć ) because the thing about him, he was so slight. And I remember seeing him towards the end of his life in a pub which was jam-packed. We were actually thinking to ask him to join Bad Company...it was that desperate ha ha...no no I wanted him in the band because I wanted a singer who was like Paul Rodgers, and I went to see him and in fact we asked him, you know...but we'll get to that later on...you could not get anyone else in this pub because it was so packed, and he came on and he sang a 12 bar blues, and just bits of paint falling off the ceiling...it was so, so incredible. So he was underrated. After the first few hits and a first few years with The Small Faces, they never really took off, they never really got any bigger that actually a ....??? -in those few years.
Probably because a lot it has to do with... again you know...not sort of selling out, you know what I mean? In a way... I read something recently where like they turn on the record and the people thought it was too black, you know...as if anything could be, ha ha, you know it's like this little white kid and you're touched by black music. And I dot't think you want to imitate it, but if you feel comfortable with that sort of...where the rhythm thing is, and where it all comes from...and if you know where it comes from then you're not really keeping up with the Joneses, you know what I mean, you're not really interested in ??? and what everybody else sort of doing, you know. Again, he was an innovator and Humble Pie was very innovative as far as big rock sound, you know especially like 69s-70s around there. And if you do something first, I found a lot of times is much easier for no one to mention your name, it's easier for them to do what you were doing ..???..and thats what, you know the music businnes breeds on selfishness ,'cause everybody wants theirs, and somebody like Steve Marriott wasn't very selfish, and you can tell that from his music you know,...when you live without that showbizz bagage, and your gig is what you're doing and you're living by your rules, I think it probably makes things harder for you. Then again, look at the era. People ripped everybody off, you know...Rock&roll is still very new, I think people forget that, it's such an immediate art form, such an immediate feeling and i think that's easly manipulated by some people, as opposed to great bands, really soulful bands and funky bands who just did it, you know what I mean? And again I agree solely, he should have...his place should be much higher up on a rock&roll food chain.
I was first introduced to Steve Marriott by Rick Wills, the bass player with my band Cochise, and later bass player with Foreigner. Rick had worked in a band with Humble Pie drummer Jerry Shirley. Steve was great , a fantastic soul singer and generally full on guy. We invited him to sing backing vocals on ‘Love’s Made a Fool Of You’, a track on the Cochise album ‘Swallow Tales’. It’s easy to spot him, he has such a distinctive voice.
I did a lot of stuff for Humble Pie in the early days, and I got on really well with Steve . I remember working on a Humble Pie session at Olympic studios in London with Glyn Johns producing. That was a great studio. When I entere d the studio one day, Steve shouted down the talkback, ‘Hey BJ’, and nobody had called me that before. Up till then I was known as Brian, and he didn’t know my initials were BJ. So after that the BJ stuck.
As I got to know Steve better, he invited me to his home studio in Essex. He was working on a lot of Country influenced stuff which I got to play on. Unfortunately most of these tracks were never released officially as Steve ‘s recording career was tied up with Humble Pie. When just the two of us were working together Steve was a delight; really warm and thoughtful. Unfortunately it wasn’t the same when the studio was full of musicians and hangers on.
I really treasure the memory of working with such a great talent
Steve was and reamins the gratest white blues singer. No one is even close. Even the ones who are close will tell you (if they're being honest) that Steve was „the man”. And there are some great ones out there: Paul Rodgers, Steve Winwood, Rod Stewart. Tremendous today is the guy from The Black Crowes, and if you ask him, who the „main man” is, he'll tell you – Steve Marriott. Brian Adams...he is all of theirs favourite guy, Robert Plant absolutely adored Steve.
