Small Faces - All Or Nothing Reaction

[@hetrodoxly1203]

Small Faces were one off the best rock bands of all time, Steve Marriot one of the best front men of all time, Ronnie Lane also had a great voice and wrote many of 'The Faces' songs you'd probably recognize them as Rod Stewart songs.

[@hanierfamily]

We know a couple of Faces songs. Every time we hear a new one, we're happy. They're so good.

[@williamr3840]

Marriot's voice I always think is even better than Plant's voice -- but of course they were friends. :0)

[@davidshelton919]

Small Faces one of, if not the best Mod bands ever , absolute class

[@cindyfalstrom7231]

Thank you from a subscriber. I LOVE Small Faces. This early song was their first #1 hit. Steve Marriott was highly regarded by his peers. Robert Plant (Zeppelin) idolized Small Faces and was highly influenced by Marriott. both Roger Daltry (WHO) and David Bowie have written that Steve was the best soul/rock singer UK ever produced. These 4 teenagers from London's East End were incredibly talented, very creative and quite soulful. After Steve Marriott quit Small Faces on NY eve 1968/69, he formed Humble Pie with Peter Frampton. Rod Stewart & Ron Wood were added to the remaining Small Faces and dropped the "Small" as they weren't anymore. Although I also love Humble Pie and the Faces, IMO, neither band was as great at the mother band - Small Faces. My Favorite Pie songs: I Wonder" (very bluesy) and "I Know You're So Good For Me" (beautiful) also "hot & Nasty is fun and a great showcase for Steve's singing.

From one of your subscribers, 'Small Faces' are an excellent band, they have many great tracks, a few of my favourites are; 'Itchycoo Park', 'Lazy Sunday Afternoon', 'Ogden's Nut Gone Flake' and 'Tin Soldier'. I'll mention your channel to my friends and spread the word.

Small Faces were superb!

There was only one version of the 'small faces'. Whatever came after was a pale imitation

Classic track from imo best band .....ever.

[@andrewheale4738]

Small Faces were a Mod band, I bought My Minds Eye single and played it to death Christmas 1966

[@diogenesagogo]

Steve Marriot had a phenomenal voice which got better with age. Humble Pie also included Peter Frampton. Try Black Coffee or 30 Days In The Hole if you want to hear Steve at his best (the live OGWT versions are terrific).

[@hanierfamily]

We've heard both of these performances. If you have any other suggestions from these bands, we'd love to hear them.

[@diogenesagogo]

@@hanierfamily Sorry I didn't realise - couldn't find them on your channel when I searched. Anyway, this is perhaps a bit different kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWHKnICwnsqmaLc

[@hanierfamily]

@@diogenesagogo That's cool. I (Chris) heard '30 Days In The Hole' when, in 2001, the guitarist for my band was driving us to band practice. He was a huge fan of Humble Pie. More so of Johnny and Edgar Winter, which he also showed us.

[@hanierfamily]

@@diogenesagogo 'Black Coffee' came to us through watching reaction videos, before we decided to do it ourselves.

[@colrhodes377]

Great song!

[@grahamboffey457]

A’Face’ was a well known person in a local area. As they were all under 1.7 metres, hence the name.

[@highpath4776]

incredible clarity on that drum kit on the recording. Don Arden credited with the production at Decca.

[@spacehopper77]

Steve Marriott was a total gentleman and his voice is way better than Rods in my opinion. Small Faces vs Faces, Small Faces hands down better.

[@matthewashman1406]

No just different

[@williamr3840]

Paul Weller's favourite band of all time! :0)

[@hanierfamily]

Yeah, you can hear it in his music. We did his latest album for our Patreon members. It was interesting.

[@whattiler5102]

Apparently Steve Marriot, the front man, was approached as a potential vocalist for Led Zeppelin. However their manager of the time was not about to let his no.1 asset out of a contract that was lining his pocket very nicely at the time.

[@paulmaple6887]

Thanks for playing all the great music. How about the style Council, my ever changing moods?

[@daviddring2365]

You have to review him singing Black Coffee with Humble Pie ..... It's on KZbin... live on the Old Grey Whistle Test.... its one of the greatest live performances I've seen. Steve was and remains the greatest white soul singer to come from our little island

[@hanierfamily]

We love that song!

[@gavintimson5940]

An interesting fact . When Rolling Stones needed a guitarist, Steve Marriott was mooted for the role, but Ronnie Wood was recruited instead. The reason, Mick Jagger knew Marriott could be a threat due to his singing voice, so he vetoed it. As you alluded to a slightly heavier sound, listen to Wham Bam Thank You Mam. I am not suggesting a review but just a listen when you have time as it was quite heavy for 1969.

[@ronaldmitchell3665]

Many genres: SFs showed us the path through Rock n Roll ave.

[@lennon1482]

great tune

[@pepelemoko2820]

The Small Faces were sensational and massively underrated. you should check out Tin Soldier, the small Faces and P P Arnold. Check the video, she was lets say in the zone.

[@hanierfamily]

We did a reaction to Tin Soldier

[@pepelemoko2820]

@@hanierfamily Sorry I'm new, I've not seen it yet. Look forward to it.

[@johnord684]

WE ARE THE MODS!!!!!!!!!!

[@sdwill66]

When Steve Marriott left the group he had to be replaced by both a vocalist and a guitarist. That's why they needed Rod & Ron. Good pickup on the heavier guitar. Steve went on to form Humble Pie of course, more of a rock band.

[@hanierfamily]

But he brought his soul to Humble Pie. Faces helped pull soul from Rod, I think. We're excited to hear more.

[@BrixtonTone]

A great band with an outstanding singer in Steve Marriot. I know you guys avoid video clips for copyright reasons but give Small Faces video clip performing Tin Soldier with P.P Arnold a go. I don't think you'll have any issues. P.S. I'm sure you'll hit your 1000 subs soon , a few more video clips would definitely help.

[@sdwill66]

The only problem with Tin Soldier vids is that they are generally of poor quality unfortunately.

These guys were better before they became "Faces." I first heard them while stationed in Germany... eventually got back to the States and couldn't believe they weren't well known here. Actually, they weren't known at all.

Humboldt pie also the singer is the original kid on the movie where they steal from people in England he also wrote the song for that movie and sang it , the second actor was Davy Jones from the monkeys who made that movie second movie

Which movie was that?

@@hanierfamily Think refering to the stage production of Oliver Twist where I think Steve played the Artful Dodger and also vocal for Oliver on the record, don't think he was in the movie but he did some spoken parts in movies when he was young.

[@cindyfalstrom7231]

@@JamesBond-lq7bs You are correct. Steve Marriott played the Artful Dodger on London Stage in 1960 (Davey Jones & Phil Collins also played the part in later productions) and sang the Dodger songs for the official recording. The actor in the movie version was Jack Wilde.

[@malcolmmorris3459]

I recommend He's Gonna Step On You Again By John Kongos.

[@andyyoung9463]

Understand your need for more subscribers but I like your current format where you play a bit of everything. There are some bands where you reacting to them on a regular basis is likely to achieve this aim. From a UK perspective these would include stuff like Depeche Mode, The Jam, Arctic Monkeys, ELO, The Cure, The Clash, The Specials, Madness, Squeeze, The Smiths, Bowie amongst others of course. Personally, I'd like to see you keep throwing in songs/ bands to keep some element of the eclectic mix you currently have but recognise you may need to go a little top-heavy on the "favourites" to get your numbers up....much deserved by the way! Take care

[@hanierfamily]

We enjoy a variety of 'genres'. I don't see us changing our strategy too much. We want to entertain everyone.

[@kevinkingsley9353]

Please guys, listen to their Album Ogden's Nut Gone Flake.

Best Rock singer ever, Steve Marriott.

[@sirandrelefaedelinoge]

Have a listen to *HOW DOES IT FEEL TO FEEL* by the Creation.

[@KeeFHQVideos]

A good way to get more views and hence more subscribers is to pick a few more popular reaction songs.... Monsters by James Blunt is popular as is Tom Sawyer by Rush. Just a suggestion. Another suggestion might be to watch lyric videos so you can get an idea of what the song is about while you're listening. The Jam and Specials songs in particular have very powerful lyrics. Paul Weller of Style Council, The Jam fame is a huge Small faces/Steve Marriott fan. He based a lot of his styles on Steve. Loving your channel. :-)

[@hanierfamily]

We know most of the popular stuff. Rush is nearly impossible to do. We know too many of their hits. Tom Sawyer included.

[@KeeFHQVideos]

@@hanierfamily Fair enough. I guess the issue with less well known songs is people don't search them as much so trying to get the views is tricky. I guess patience is the key here. Good luck with it. Can I request Wonderland by Big Country please?

[@hanierfamily]

@@KeeFHQVideos It's kind of why we hit on Kate Bush so early. We saw that 'Running Up That Hill' was making the reaction rounds. We obviously weren't doing that song, so I (Chris) thought, I'll show Cynthia a Kate song that I know. Experiment IV. She still didn't receive it well, and admittedly, it was a less music heavy Kate song. But, that got a bunch of people looking for Kate to ask us for more songs. I think Depeche Mode came next. Honestly, we're doing WAY better than expected. It's only taken 4 months to get this close to making this thing pay off a little. And we love the new friends and fans of music we're meeting.

[@nandaran2]

Thanks for playing small faces. Rod Stewart and Ron Wood did not “turn it into Faces”. They were called Small Faces because they were all under 5’8”. When their lead singer Steve Marriott ( who is a legend) left for Humble Pie, Ron Wood and Rod Stewart joined. The name was changed due to their height. There would be no Faces without Small Faces. You need to do a deeper dive to really understand this under-appreciated band! The Universal, I Feel much better, Get yourself together

[@hanierfamily]

They've impressed us as Small Faces and Faces, so far - and we want more of both. We only know two Humble Pie songs so far, so we're interested in checking that out as well. That feels like good rock to us. If you have any suggestions, we'd be happy to try them for you. You should check out the Big Sugar video we just put up. It's a Canadian Blues band, if you don't already know. We didn't know they had done anything during the pandemic. Let us know what you think.

[@telstar4772]

Yes that`s true and they took the name Faces because a well known person about town in Britain is called a "Face" and because of their height(as you mentioned) they thought it would be funny to call the band the "Small Faces"

[@krakatoa1200]

A great Band, sadly, only Kenny jones still with us.

Steve marriott sounds like Roy orbison🤔

[@colrhodes377]

I notice that much of what you play is early 80s ska . Great if you like that but perhaps step to the other side of the road and play bands such as Gillan ( try Born to kill ) or Judas Priest ( Heading out to the highway) Saxon ( And the bands played on ) Songs and bands like those might give you a new audience

First off, we're Canadian. Southern Ontario, specifically. Rush was started about 40 minutes away from here. So many bands have made it big from Toronto alone. You could look at our Canadian Content Playlist for some of that. And music from other regions of Canada, of course. Where are you from?
