An all time favorite. 

[popvulture]

Oh man @Jett129 YES, so fucking good.

This one's a fave performance — Marriott has such a fierce energy. 3:08, PHEW.

[Jett129]

@popvulture Thank you,Thank you. Just loved it. Can’t believe I hadn’t seen it. Any idea as to what guitar he was playing?

[Jett129]

Here’s another for you. Crank it up. On a side note I,actually, got to play on that drum set as Jerry Shirley had sold it to a studio I was rehearsing at.   

[popvulture]

Oh man, so killer! Love it!

That guitar is apparently just a standard telecaster modded with a P90 in the neck pos. Ridiculously cool lookin.

@Jett129 How have I never heard The Small Faces!?  Incredible. I get educated about one thing or another just about every day on this forum. Love it

[Jett129]

They eventually became Rod Stewarts back up band,as in Rod Stewart and the Faces. You probably know this.

[mclaincausey]

Rod Stewart is going on tour in the US with Cheap Trick opening.

[Jett129]

That tour was originally scheduled 2 years ago. I've been a huge Cheap Trick fan since the very beginning,but,for me, it's just not the same without Bun E Carlos.

That's how I feel about Little Feat without Lowell George @Jett129

[popvulture]

Little Feat without Lowell is an absurd idea, but then again I guess plenty of bands did such a thing after losing an integral (or flat-out defining) member.

Cheap Trick without Bun E. is also a wild idea.

But yep, looooove the Rod version of Faces, also Rod's early solo stuff like Every Picture Tells a Story. Oh and the Jeff Beck shit! Rod is underrated imo.

[mention]Giles [/mention] ^^^That’s a very cool production of a great song [emoji106] Thanks for sharing!

Ah Fuck. Go well.

[mclaincausey]

Fuck that sucks ass. I feel like COVID might have damaged him so much that opportunities to see him to his thing again might have already been taken from us. Great, great, singer and writer who had so many good projects.

Interesting King Crimson reference in the tribute.

[popvulture]

He's been a huge musical presence in my life. I think the first time I heard him was via the Screaming Trees' inclusion on the Singles soundtrack — I think I must've been about 13. "Nearly Lost You" grabbed me and I was sorta up for whatever from then on.

I saw the Trees at Lollapalooza in '96 in New Orleans, and they were definitely a highlight of the day. Dust had just come out, which was also a killer record.

I've loved all of his stuff over the years, whether it be Bubblegum, The Gutter Twins, QOTSA, or generally anything he was ever involved with. I'll miss him for sure. Rest well.

[mclaincausey]

Agreed.

My personal favorite of his that I have heard so far is his second solo album, "Whiskey for the Holy Ghost." So dramatic, dark, and beautiful:
