ABOUT ROD - News, December 2, 2008: Flea to be a Face?

Ronnie Wood has said not only are the Faces rehearsed and ready to go, they may even enlist Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers to play

"It's like no time has passed by," Wood told Rolling Stone magazine this week. "We had a few rehearsals last week and we're ready to go."

He also said the Faces have had no shortage of interest when it comes replacements for Ronnie Lane. Conrad Korsch, Rod Stewart's touring bassist, sat in on the rehearsals - but "there's a lot of guest bass players who want to do it," Wood said, "including Flea".

Ronnie even hinted at new material. "Rod wants me to write a load of new stuff for him," he said.
Though the Faces have yet to announce any tour dates, it's just a matter of juggling itineraries, he said. "We just have to sort out dates and locations and drop all of the management egos. We know we can do it. It's just a matter of getting everyone's availability sometime next year."
