Ron Wood has confirmed long-standing reports that the Faces are gearing up for a reunion tour next year. “We had a few fantastic rehearsals last week and we’re ready to go,” Wood tells Rolling Stone. “It’s like no time has passed by.” Rod Stewart’s touring bassist Conrad Korsch sat in on bass, replacing original Faces bassist Ronnie Lane who died in 1997. “There’s a lot of guest bass players that want to do it — including Flea,” says Wood. They plan on hitting the road sometime in 2009, though no dates have been set. “We just have to sort out when and where and drop all of the management egos and just do what we can. We know we can do it. It’s just a matter of getting everyone’s availability sometime next year.” New studio work might also be in their future. “Rod wants me to write a load of new stuff for him, so I can do that,” says Wood. As far as Wood’s other band goes, he says he’s “always itching to do more work with [The Rolling Stones]. We just haven’t decided when and where, yet, but I know we will.”

I doubt very much a bassist playing in the nude fits Faces image.
Wonder if K Jones is gonna be playing drums.
Flea is a great bass player. But he’s not British. Maybe The Kinks or Mott the Hoople’s bass players are available?
Def Leppard did a great British Invasion album (YA I’M 51 GO AHEAD THROW DIRT ON ME!) a few years ago.

What they ought to do is get Jeff Beck in the fold, put Ronnie back on bass and reform the Jeff Beck Group.
That would be fun while it lasted.
I'd suggest John Paul Jones but it looks like he's got his own tour going.
Looks like Ron Wood needs a multi-million dollar paycheck.
The rollin bones tour! LOL
Just don't blink!
Are any of the members of Them still living in Texas? They moved here in the 1960s after Van Morrison left.
Ian McLagen and Ronnie Wood of the Faces (and Small Faces) moved to Texas in the 1980s.
Stay with me is worth the price of admission alone!

I like the shot of the groupie grooving her checked bellbottoms off.
As McLagan and Lane are dead , if Jones doesn’t play drums it is not much of a “ re-union “ tour “ , is it ?
My bad - it was his wife who was killed ang not Ian .
Ian’s website is above (click on the photo I posted).
Better tell that to Ian.
Ooh La La
‘Itchycoo Park’ would be worth the price of admission, even if the Small faces was a slightly different version of the band and even though Steve Marriott died many years ago. Rod Stewart could handle those vocals. In fact, I believe he did do backing vocals on the original, at the end of the song.
I’m just glad I was able to catch Humble Pie a couple of times circa 1971.
