'WHICH IS THE BEST BAND I'VE BEEN IN? THE SMALL FACES WERE THE MOST
CREATIVE, THE FACES WERE THE MOST FUN,THE WHO WERE THE MOST
EXCITING. THESE WERE ELECTRIFYING DAYS IN MUSIC. WE WERE ALL
UNTRIED, UNTESTED. WHAT WAS STOPPING US? NOTHING.' As drummer with
the Small Faces, Faces and later The Who, Kenney Jones' unique
sense of rhythm was the heartbeat that powered three of the most
influential rock bands of all time. Beginning in London's post-war
East End, Kenney's story takes us through the birth of the Mod
revolution, the mind-bending days of the late-1960s and the raucous
excesses of the '70s and '80s. In a career spanning six decades,
Kenney was at the epicentre of many of the most exciting moments in
music history and has experienced everything the industry has to
offer. He jointly created some of the world's most-loved records,
hung out with the Stones, Beatles, David Bowie, Keith Moon and Rod
Stewart, and suffered the loss of close friends to rock 'n' roll
excess and success. The legacy created by Kenney and his band mates
has influenced acts as diverse as Led Zeppelin, the Sex Pistols and
Oasis. Now, for the very first time, Kenney tells the full story of
how a young Cockney Herbert played his part in the biggest social
transformation in living memory - the people, the parties, the
friendships, the fall-outs, the laughter, the sadness, the sex,
drugs, and a lot of rock 'n' roll, while also opening up about his
own deeply personal battles and passions, too. This is a vivid and
breath-taking immersion into the most exciting era of music history
and beyond.
