The Official Rod Stewart Thread!

[WATERS]

With an estimated 250 million in album and single sales, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Rod Stewart arguably possesses one of rock's greatest and most distinctive voices.
For many years, he called Warner Bros. home, first as lead singer of the influential band the Faces and later as an internationally successful solo artist. This fall, Warner Bros. will launch a comprehensive catalog release campaign that focuses on Stewart's solo years with Warner Bros., featuring Collector's Editions of some of the artist's biggest-selling albums, a trio of boxed sets spotlighting studio, live and rare recordings, as well as compilations of Stewart's duets, soundtrack contributions and more.

ROD STEWART has confirmed that 70s supergroup THE FACES are set for a reunion, more than 30 years after the band split.
Earlier this week (beg10Nov08), website Raygigs.com reported that Stewart and other original members Ronnie Wood, Ian MCLagan and Kenney Jones had booked a secret rehearsal slot next week (17Nov08) to see if the band still had what it takes to launch a string of reunion shows next year (09).
Scheduling problems between the members has hampered previous comeback plans - but Stewart has confirmed that this time it is a reformation is definitely on.
He says, "Yes, absolutely. We have our first rehearsal on Monday. It will be next summer and I am looking forward to it. It'll be great."
And Stewart is adamant that Wood's recent break-up with wife of 23 years Jo won't hold the star back from giving everything to the tour.
He adds, "Ronnie is up for it. I think he feels great. He is full of energy and very excited. We try not to mix our family problems with work. I'll see him Monday."
The band has previously reunited for a handful of one-off gigs - Wood and MCLagan performed with Stewart at the Hollywood Bowl in 2004.
Stewart's touring bass player is expected to complete the group, replacing late bassist Ronnie 'Plonk' Lane, who died in 1997.

British rock veteran Rod Stewart has praised Scottish singer Paolo Nutini, insisting the star will have a long career in the music industry. The Maggie May singer says he is a fan of the 19-year-old's music and has the talent to make his career span decades.

He says, "He's got a great career ahead of him. I really mean that, a great career. I've been around the block a few times to know what it takes to still be able to pull in a crowd.

"I'm not really into bands and tend to listen to singers. My publicist was the one who told me about Paolo.

"I was saying how much I like James Morrison and she said 'You should hear this kid Paolo', That same day I think I heard New Shoes on the radio."


Paolo must be the real deal =)

Bump the LEGEND

[WATERS]

Rod is paying the medical bills of old friend and blues legend Long John Baldry as he fights for his life.
He kept a bedside vigil last month at a clinic in London for the man who discovered him. Surrey-born John, 64, then flew back to Canada where he lives and is now desperately ill in Vancouver General Hospital with breathing problems.
Relatives from Britain have flown out to be with him.

A hospital spokesman said yesterday: "He has been in the hospital since the end of March when he was admitted with respiratory-related problems. He is in intensive care where his condition is stable."

John spotted Rod's talent in the 1960s when he heard him singing to himself at midnight at Twickenham station in South West London and he offered Rod the chance to join his band The Hoochie Coochie Men.
John later described how Rod was a shy performer "apart from when he was tracking down tarts, he wasn't so shy then".

John went on to have a No 1 hit single with Let the Heartaches Begin. He also gave Sir Elton John his first break in music when he used the then humble piano player's backing band Bluesology. And guitarist Eric Clapton said John's love of blues inspired his own career.

[WATERS]

'Long John Baldry launched me on my musical career.
I was 18 and playing harmonica and singing a Muddy Waters song in a railway station, when Long John Baldry ran over to me from the other side of the tracks. I had just been to see him play at a club; he was one of the top Bluesmen in England. But John didn’t sing Muddy Waters songs – he knew Muddy Waters, had performed with him and with Ramblin' Jack Elliott too. And now he was asking, "Would you like to join the band?"

[WATERS]

For me, just shaking his hand – knowing all the great musicians whose hand he’d shaken before was mind-blowing. But so was John. Picture this elegant man with a proper English accent, never without a tie, a towering six-foot-seven. I was a huge fan and I was intimidated by his offer. Rod Stewart wasn’t in demand in those days; no one was interested. I immediately said yes. John had a knack for discovering talent. Ginger Baker, Jeff Beck and Brian Jones all worked with him early on. Elton John played piano in one of his bands, other Rolling Stones too – Charlie, Ron Wood, and Keith. In 1962, when the Rolling Stones were just getting started, they opened for him in London. Eric Clapton has said many times that John was one of the musicians that inspired him to play the Blues. And for their internationally televised special in 1964, the Beatles invited John to perform his version of 'I Got My Mojo Working'. In those days the only music we fell in love with was the Blues, and John was the first white guy singing it, in his wonderful voice. It was the true Blues and everyone looked up to him. I wasn’t very good on the harmonica, but my gravelly voice caught his attention. He was the first person of any stature to tell me, "You really have the gift. You have what it takes". He turned some of us into musical legends, but it was never what he expected from himself. You didn’t hear John on the radio or see him on TV. He just played these clubs that I started going to when I was 16. At the time I hadn’t thought much about performing except as a way to meet girls. John put me on an amazing wage, close to $100 a week, which in the early ‘60s was an astronomical amount. I remember thinking, "If this lasts for 6 months I’ll be able to buy a little sports car which I’d been saving for. Of course, that would help me get some girls". We didn’t rehearse before my first performance with John’s band and I was very nervous so I had a few drinks. John introduced me as an 'up-and-coming' new singer and I sang John Lee Hooker's classic 'Dimples', which died a death! There was a horrible silence after my performance. But John was great. He’s one of the kindest guys, reassuring and positive. He just said, "Well come away, don’t worry about it."

[WATERS]

Then he had me come to his apartment the next day and go through some songs on the guitar to get the keys worked out. He always had encouraging words, especially when I’d mess up on stage. He’d just say, "Oh you’re young yet; it’ll all come to you". It wasn’t dismissive. It was always said in a way that made me feel he believed what he was telling me. John taught me so much – things that apply to my life and things that made me the human being I am today. He had tremendous stage presence. "You watch any great performer and they never stand at the microphone with their legs together." he said.

[WATERS]

"Have a manly stance. Be bold on stage – bold as you would be playing soccer", which I was good at then. He taught me to project with my hands when I’m singing. See me onstage today and you’re seeing what John taught me. John was really looking out for me when we were on the road. My first time in a club outside of London, we played a club in Manchester. He said, "Don’t worry just get up there and sing". I was nervous. A band mate gave me a pill – an amphetamine called a black bomber. I got onstage and played one song for 20 minutes, the same verse over and over. John found out and reprimanded the guy, firing him for corrupting me. He was very fatherly, always looking out for my welfare. As our careers progressed, John continued playing in clubs, which he’s still happily doing. He didn’t write songs; he’s never been ambitious that way. Although he made some albums that got radio play, he was never a huge recording star. But in the UK he did have a Number 1 hit with 'Let the Heartaches Begin'. He’s not particularly worried about financial gain or seeing himself in the papers. He’s comfortable as long as he can play his guitar. John may not be a legend in the proverbial sense, but he’s a cult hero with his own following and the fans who flock to his performances. He leaves me phone messages with that accent of his: "Dear Roddy, how the hell are you?" Every time I pick up a guitar, I play the old folk song 'Mother Ain't Dead', which I learned with John in the mid 60s. We both love the Blues, and we’re tremendously in love with American Folk music. In fact next time I’m touring & he’s in the neighborhood, I think I’ll ask him to come onstage and play 'Mother Ain't Dead', just the two of us. It’ll be great.

Hi Migel how are you
welcome to the forum

[WATERS]

So far away
Doesnt anybody stay in one place anymore
It will be so fine to see your face at my door
And it doesnt help to know that your just time away
Long ago I reached for you and there you stood
Holding you again could only do me good
Oh how I wish I could
But youre so far away

One more song about moving along the highway
I cant say much of anything thats new
But if I could only work this life out my way
Id rather spend it being close to you
But youre so far away
Doesnt anybody stay in one place anymore
It will be so fine to see your face at my door
And it doesnt help to know youre so far away
So far away, yeah youre so far away

Traveling around sure gets me down and lonely
Nothing else to do but close my mind
And I sure hope the road dont get to own me
Theres so many dreams that Ive yet to find
But youre so far away
Doesnt anybody stay in one place anymore
It will be so fine to see your face at my door
And it doesnt help to know
Youre so far away, youre so far away
Youre so far away, youre so far away
Oh I need to get in touch with ya baby
Youre so very, very, very far away
Youre so, so far away

Rod Stewart's last good album was Smiler (1975) on Mercury, released before he moved to the USA and shacked up with Britt Ekland ..... :idc:

Rolling Stone's 1980 Illustrated History of Rock & Roll includes this in its Stewart entry:

Rarely has a singer had as full and unique a talent as Rod Stewart; rarely has anyone betrayed his talent so completely. Once the most compassionate presence in music, he has become a bilious self-parody — and sells more records than ever.

Sadly true ..... :shrug:

What's with all the hate on Rod, Omah?
That's a very poor opinion you have accumilated there. Rod has released so many good albums since Smiler. The only bad thing about Rod and slightly wasted bit of talent is that he didn't write many songs, when he did do his own material it was absolutely brilliant, but then again he's never claimed to be a songwritter just a singer, a man who can take a song and make it his own, even now though at the age of 67 he is about to make up for that with his new album which will be released in the summer, a rock album with all of his own songs, which he has never done before. He will top all this off with a tour, which I suggest you attend as you clearly have lost faith in one of musics biggest legends. I hope you find peace within yourself Omah, as you are really in a bad place right now.

Brilliant song. Ronnie Wood on his death bed actually tried to claim he wrote this song, a claim that got proved false. Gasoline Alley is another brilliant song.

[WATERS]

No, he hasn't.


Well he has sold over 200million albums worldwide, so your claim is ridicolous. Your whole argument isn't worthy of anymore responses so, bye.

You are a troll. It was a very ignorant evlauation. I remember Steampacket, I remember Faces and I remember the Jeff Beck Group all amazingly underrated bands. When Rod left Faces not by choice, as Ronnie Lane had left first, who was a huge part of the band, then Ronnie Wood joined the Stones, they couldn't exactly continue as the same band. Rod went on to a 'Disco Era' that's when he lost a few fans from previous bands. Rod has regreted songs like 'Da Ya Think I'm Sexy' as they weren't him. He has gone on to do some amazing work since then, which ignorant people like you choose not to see.
