Bands and performer's you'd love to see make a comeback. I can hear it through the flat screen. Crap! Now whose coming back? The 80's had Punk/ 90's had MTV Unplugged. The first chapters of the new millennium has decorated by Reality TV...but ultimately the IPod and the ability to instantly download music has turned the youngest of music fans into craving monsters.
They want our music. They want to live it like we did. If we don't watch the young carefully they'll figure out a way to raise the dead and bring back the biggest of the greats.
It's the hottest fad in world. "Reuniting!"
KISS, The Eagles, Stones, Zeppelin in a roundabout way, Jim Bakker is back in religion and Bill Clinton is a trusted man again.
Now that Rod Stewart has rediscovered his songwriting muse, the rock legend is thinking about reviving another aspect of his storied past. In a new interview, Stewart said that he’s up for a long-awaited reunion of the Faces.
Speaking to the U.K. tabloid the Sun, Stewart hinted that it was being discussed, but a major scheduling conflict popped up for one of its members. “Well, we were on for it but he got nabbed back by the Rolling Stones, didn’t he?” he said. “But let them have him, because my eyes are on next year.”
Stewart, of course, is referring to his longtime partner-in-crime Ron Wood, whose departure for the Stones in 1975 helped bring about the Faces’ inevitable implosion. In 2010 and 2011, the other surviving members of the band toured as the Faces – with Mick Hucknall of Simply Red on vocals and Glen Matlock of the Sex Pistols on bass for the late Ronnie Lane – but a full-fledged reunion with Stewart on vocals hasn’t happened.
Still, it’s been on Stewart’s mind for a while. He was set to perform with them at their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year, but a last-minute illness forced his cancellation. But it’s not just Wood’s time with the Stones that’s preventing the reunion from taking place. Stewart’s solo tour, especially with the release of ‘Time,’ means that his calendar is dance card is full for 2013.
“We’ve got the U.K. tour coming up with the residency at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas,” he continued. “After that then we can start thinking about the Faces. Exciting times ahead — that’s for sure.”
So, with Rod Stewart considering splitting time between his solo career and the Faces again, it seems that the 68-year old singer has – at least partially – recaptured his youth. Can a return to the days of taking cocaine anally be that far behind?

Faces Fronted By Rod Stewart. The Fad Is To Bring It Back
