‘Brilliantly evocative… To see the Faces given a lavish picture-book treatment by Genesis seems only just, if long overdue.’ – Classic Rock
‘The book is absolutely beautiful.’ – D. Calvo, Subscriber, USA
‘We go to Genesis for quality.’ – Ronnie Wood
In Faces, 1969-75 the story of the band’s career is brought vividly to life in an original manuscript of over 12,000 words.
Featuring exclusive new interviews with Kenney Jones, Ian McLagan and Ronnie Wood, and archival quotes from Ronnie Lane, the band’s official history includes introductions by famous Faces fans and collaborators: Slash, Paul Weller, Paul Westerberg, Mick Hucknall and Glen Matlock. Acclaimed music writer Brad Tolinski also provides a Foreword.
‘We wrote ‘Stay With Me’ backstage, before we went on. Rod said, \”Come up with a really great lick and I’ll come up with the words,\” and we just had it going. Boom.’ – Ronnie Wood
‘With Ronnie and Rod our music was not as tight; it became a bit more elasticated, there was more freedom. A lot of our stuff had the feeling of a jam, because we used to jam a lot when we first got together and, like many bands, that’s where we’d find riffs.’ – Kenney Jones
‘We played hard and fast. It was a hell of a four-piece, and there were no rules. We were driving each other and the arrangements got more and more complex. We were better than any other band!’ – Ian McLagan
