Inhaltsangabe

'Overgrown adolescent ruffians riffing away through a fog of booze, bed-hopping and fisticuffs [are] well represented here by Neill, but the author also rightly praises the music that established The Faces as the quintessential touring rock 'n' roll band.' Four Stars. Record Collector.

'It's unthinkable that Rod Stewart's much anticipated reminiscences will plunge headlong into the nuanced depths of musical delight and moral depravity as Neill's tome does... rich in detail and behind the scenes yarns.' Four Stars. Mojo

'It's amazing. It's got a huge amount of information' Rod Stewart.

The definitive account of one of rock 'n' roll's most engagingly shambolic acts as well as an evocative portrait of the times in which they raised hell and recorded some timeless tracks.

Now updated with details of the sad death of keyboard player Ian McLagan.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

The story of The Faces typifies the glamorous lifestyle of an English rock'n'roll band that toured relentlessly through America in the 1970s leaving a trail of sell-out concerts, gold albums and wrecked hotel rooms in their wake. Fronted by Rod Stewart, they still exert an influence over today's rock 'n' roll bands, notably Black Crowes, Guns N' Roses and Primal Scream. The group's classic album A Nod Is As Good As A Wink finished at number 44 in Classic Rock's 2006 Survey of the 100 Greatest British Rock Albums Of All Time.
This is the definitive account of one of rock 'n' roll's most engagingly shambolic acts as well as an evocative portrait of the times in which they raised hell and recorded some timeless tracks, now updated with details of the sad death of keyboard player Ian McLagan.
