This is incredibly sad.

the organ on Afterglow is such a monster

Looks like it's true, right, out come my Small Faces' CDs. RIP Ian. Only Kenney Jones left now... and all of U2 are still alive.

cant believe it. gutted

Maybe we could not wish death on people
Faces really mean a lot to me, like the Stones that hadn't been beaten into the ground by classic rock radio
Was supposed to be playing Minneapolis with Nick Lowe soon

No-one wished death on anyone

Answering Tom D's earliest point -- yes, a Paste writer was apparently with McLagan and a small group of others in his hospital room. This sadly is legit.
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 3 December 2014 21:42 (ten years ago)
Friend said he saw him with Alejandro Ecscovido a bunch in Austin that would have been great

It's a shocker, RIP Ian.

FUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKK. I missed getting to see him live back in August. RIP Faces=Best Band
This has not been a good two days for Stones sidemen.

Only Kenney Jones left now... and all of U2 are still alive.
Worse than that...every Eagle still walks among us.
― Don A Henley And Get Over It (C. Grisso/McCain), Wednesday, 3 December 2014 21:51 (ten years ago)
Alright, come on. Thinking the Eagles suck does not warrant being bummed that they aren't dead.
― Evan, Wednesday, 3 December 2014 21:54 (ten years ago)
Processing this by blasting the music he made through the years. God damn it, he was special.

2012 podcast interview with McLagan on local Austin podcast is the best:http://howdidigethere.podbean.com/e/episode-105-ian-mclagan/
― Elvis Telecom, Wednesday, 3 December 2014 21:57 (ten years ago)
Features both McLagan & Bobby Keys...makes you think.

"had me a real good time" is a fitting epitaph for both of them i bet

Fucking RIP

Just noticed that Jimmy Winston, whom Mac replaced in the Small Faces (and who later issued some cool freakbeat singles under different monikers) is still around.

Gah, so totally unreal. I'm going to the show at First Avenue tonight, and just hearing the news now.

shit this is a bad week.
RIP
― Bee OK, Thursday, 4 December 2014 02:43 (ten years ago)
rip. apart from his work as a musician, his liner notes in the faces box set are eloquent and charming.
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 4 December 2014 02:53 (ten years ago)
See, you can replace Rod and say its "The Faces" (or "Faces", to be precise) but Ian Mac is more than the keyboard player.
Ian Mac, RIP, never was not a cool dude.
― Mark G, Thursday, 4 December 2014 07:36 (ten years ago)
Met him a few times, what a lovely, unpretentious guy. So sad.

Real good with Bonnie Raitt too, ditto belatedly released (prob now OOP) Gene Clark-Carla Olson band (true show band!) Wanna read his autobio. Now listening to Fresh Air's replay of excellent interview, not re-posted yet, but a brief conversation, also him & Bump Band live, are linked here:http://www.npr.org/artists/15394797/ian-mclagan
