FIRST TIME REACTING TO | Rod Stewart - Maggie May

[@markfoster4063]

This song is a classic. The faces were an amazing early 70s band. Rod is from north London and his mum was English and his dad was Scottish

[@swiftslick]

Rod and Ron were in a band called Faces. They are two of the three current surviving members. Their albums are legendary examples of musicianship that earned them a place in the Rock& Roll Hall of Fame. After Faces broke up, Rod Stewart became a very successful solo artist. Ronnie Wood joined The Rolling Stones, another legendary band in their own right.

[@jemogan]

And don't forget that Kenney Jones became the drummer for the Who. So the Faces birthed a superstar singer, a Rolling Stone, and a member of the Who.

[@99sheepy]

Definitely need to react to Faces - Stay With Me, and Faces - Ooh La La. Also, Rod Stewart's cover of People Get Ready, with Jeff Beck is classic.

[@Royal_BLT]

Small Faces was the band !

[@99sheepy]

Small Faces was the band with Steve Marriott on vocals. After he left, to form Humble Pie, Rod Stewart and Ron Wood joined, and the band shortened the name to just Faces.

[@larsonsrud2518]

Rod, Ron and Keith also played together in "the first barbarians " , check out their live performances!

Slight clarification Rod is of Scottish/British heritage and generally favors the Scottish side more. Great song...Maggie is a cougar who was definitely using a young boy for her own purposes. At the time no one thought about it but it is interesting to see how people react to this scenario nowadays. My fave line is "steal my daddies cue and make a livin out of playin pool"

A great rocker, which also has Ron Wood playing some fantastic guitar!

A big #1 hit in the states for Rod, his first USA hit as a solo artist. He never looked back after this. Yes, guitarist Ron Wood played with Rod Stewart in the band Faces and with his solo act. The fun-loving Ron Wood would go on to join the Rolling Stones a few years later when they needed a guitarist and has been with them for the last 45+ years.

First time hearing this song ? "Maggie May" was a real anthem in Europe in the seventies. I was on a trip to Scotland and in any pub or club when this song started to play everybody would stand up, start dancing or rather jumping and singing. Just so much fun...

Same here in the USA, I was in college then and it would be played on the jukeboxes in all the bars and at parties when it first came out. A great sing along song. A time when songs had a story to tell along and written and performed by great musicians and singers. Miss those times...

I totally died of embarrassment as a kid.. when I brought a friend home from school one day... and my mum had a Rod Stewart concert blasting on the television... and there's my mum dancing around the living room.... volume at full tilt.. and her singing her fool head off so loud to HOT LEGS she didn't hear us come in. The look on my friend's face was priceless. She thought my mum was insane.. but loved what she saw and heard. I was dying inside. lol That's all that girl could talk about at school for weeks. 🤣 Geeez.......

Rod Stewart and Ronny Wood playing together in Jeff Beck group, (yeas he is English with a Scottish father) later the faces. In the earlry 70s, about ,1975 Rod was is on is own, and it pays out very well. Maggie May is about when he is 16-17 yo and had his first woman, she tricked him to a tent and it was over, recoding to Rod him self, in about 4 sec, she was much older then him at the time, all of this is on internet, just search on Maggie may and Rod Stewart, its all in there. He has played music since 1962, so for over 50 years he had sold out arenas. He has the record of most attendent Largest Concerts Ever 1. Rod Stewart at Copacabana Beach (1994) - 4.2 million attendees (look it up). So he is one of the biggest entertaiment ever, still selling out arenas at 78...who can do that? This Clip is when he still is in the Faces, so of course he's young, he should be around 25 - 30 years old in this video. Firts time i saw him live in Scandinavium (Gothenburg, Sweden) was in 1981. I want anyone who wants to know more about Rod to do a Google search. Not many artists sell out arenas year after year for close to 60 years. He's 1 in 100, almost like Elvis, Elvis is 1 in 10,000,000. By the way, his house in Beverly Hills is for sale. if you get a lot of people together, you might be able to scrape together the 70 million dollars that the property is worth according to the broker.

Born in London to an English mother and Scottish father. Most people associate him with Scotland due to his support for the Scottish national football team and his favourite football club Glasgow Celtic as well as his penchant for wearing tartan. And by the way, there is no such thing as a single British accent. There are 4 main dialects that make up what are British accents... Scottish english, Welsh english, English english and Ulster english (Northern Irish). They are all very different from one another.
