Tin Soldier - Humble Pie

[sleepingincognito]

ah,Steve wanted peter frampton in small faces, they said no, so he quit and started humble pie with frampton

[GreenmanXIV]

Best 'Small Faces' song ever.

[robertemmet321]

Steve Marriott most certainly did not have a big ego. In fact, if his self-worth had been anywhere near what it should have been, he might have not had all of the problems he encountered in life and be with us still.

[1fht]

this is such a brilliant song

[angryallotmentlover]

This is obviously more guitar based ( With Frampton in there) but it's still a great version.



[Sherrihf]

@angryallotmentlover Not Frampton on guitar if this was recorded in 1980...

[gropingwithastoker]

The Small Faces original is perfection.

[mjgkmjgk1]

@gropingwithastoker Streetheart did a killer cover of this great song.

[TheFatboyjimbob]

Now i have lost my way

[sirgaryhoi]

This version does miss maclagan and steves vocals are not as good, but still great. But this sound like a live version and still shows off Mariotts talent. Ive never heard this version before thanks for the upload.

[austintxlivemusic]

This is the 1st time I ever heard Humble Pie play this. I only got to see them once in the 70's in Houston when I was a teen. I am not sure it has been so long but I think they opened for Grand Funk, Unfortunately I was a crispy critter and don't remember a lot of any of it. Blame it on the psychedelic 70s man.

[Galericulus]

Still a good song, but I prefer the tighter sound of the Small Faces' version.

[mothergrace1]

the man ripmy freind

[mothergrace1]

the man



[john98981]

You can hear Do You Feel Like I do in the beginning of this song.

[57Biscayne]

Steve Marriot. The man...

[chippy783]

what cigs will do to a good voice

[ubiquim]

So good so fine.

[freethequeen]

lovely !

little stevie, big voice !!

[ozgribbo]

Saw him in 1980 (approx) in Newcastle on Tyne. Just the best . At the age of 60 - I still play Small faces tracks.

[harrystad]

Steve is great. Concurred.

Stevie Wright of The Easybeats should have taken the lead vocals after Bon died in Ac/Dc....

[RadioCannedMusic]

Long live Steve Marriot! One of my top 5 Real Rock Singers!

Now, that's a Rockers Vocals!

Others Are Bon Scott & Paul Rodgers.

[crazze6163]

I remember humbie was trying to make a come back in the early 80's with little fanfare. I thought the new album was pretty good. Remembering buying the album long gone now. It had a WW2 aeroplane shot on the cover. I think it was call Victory or something like that............

[columba67]

Beeeeeeyouidfull



[arhatyellow]

"One tin soldier rides away... " Watch the movie Billy Jack - for fun, for laughs, for all the connections to the times back then. One Tin Soldier - Coven Lately I've been waking up to : Highway Star - Deep Purple, Things We Used To Know - Jethro Tull, and Better by You, Better than Me - Spooky Tooth; also War Pigs - Black Sabbath. This from a guy who listened to an awful lot of Simon and Garfunkel back then!

[johnnash76]

May God bless you Steve, simply the best ever

aaahhhh the songs of my youth; nothing like them.

[innocentearth]

Revival of Stevie goin on in London Town walk down Camden any day hear the sound, see the style, London vibe

[thereallykindred]

Steve Marriott's voice grabs you by the shoulders and forces you to listen. He never sang a note he didn't feel.

Too bad he did lose his way. A great artist.

@theyorkshirewhites The dogs bollocks?

[seventiesclassic]

JAYROX1969

Well Thankyou

[JAYROX1969]

@seventiesclassic My pleasure, in todays world of reality pop shows and fake bands, the Small Faces and Humble Pie are a breath of fresh air.

[seventiesclassic]

@JAYROX1969

Too right..Long Live The Classics.

[chippy783]

I wanted this song for so long and imagine buying this album and getting this chain saw voice instead of the "Fillmore" Steve. He rode that voice to ... well, forever

[ChrisXRachel]

Yeah, uh... The guy singing this "cover" is actually the same guy who originally wrote the song in the first place - Steve Marriott. He left Small Faces in 1968 or 1969 to join Humble Pie, where he was changed by growing a large ego. Nonetheless, he was still amazing as an artist up until '91 when he died in a house fire. R.I.P, Steve

[innocentearth]

@ChrisXRachel get over yourself no need for the lecture, they just don't make them like this anymorex

[ChrisXRachel]

@innocentearth No need to act as if you have a pineapple shoved in your rectum, we both agree Steve/Pie were one of a kind.

[goodolarchie]

@ChrisXRachel Large ego? Not sure about that.. compare him with other rock stars of the era and watch some of his 80's interviews in the here on youtube, he still comes off as chewing a piece of the "Humble" pie.

The man was a vocal virtuoso and it's easy to mistake flexing talent for a waxing ego. I was lucky enough to see Pie live and the man was clearly having the most fun on stage.

[Dave83C]

@ChrisXRachel ... because smoking really is bad for your health ;-)

[PokerStuffer]

SMOKEY steve marriott

[ss180jay]

@PokerStuffer

He does have a vey smokey kind of tone to his voice.

[petter8999]

can anyone tell me where i can find this, or on what album this is on??? this is a great song, i have fallen in love with it!!!

[copout7]

I think it was on Humble Pie's Go For the Throat album

but if you wanna hear the original it is on the Small Faces album Small Faces (US release) or the later released The Autum Stone which was a best of released after they broke up

[xJayWalkerx]

Hi petter8999

Yeah,check Small Faces out. Before forming Humble Pie, this was Steve's previous band - IMHO excellent band. There is a very cool video of Tin Soldier (a TV performance) a colour version with young Steve and PP Arnold. - easy to find - first video in "RELATED VIDEOS" on the right site of this page.

[petter8999]

thx

[GFRFan12]

go for the throat

[cammbs123]

Its on the album "There Are But Four Small Faces" on Immediate label.

[Kilroy1983]

Its originally by the Small Faces, Steve's band before this one.

[billyconnearly]

The BEST vocalist of his generation, Roger Daltrey on a par but lived too long!!

[doofIrie]

RIP Steve.. No smoking in Bed

[PokerStuffer]

do not smoke in bed!

[GFRFan12]

:'(.... listen to beckton dumps by HP. Marriot sings: "I can't seem to get out of this bed, this ain't no place for a sleepy head."

[padraiggillon]

Come on, children!

[charliechristeff]

Love Marriott millions. Best singer ever category along with Plant, Dio, Cocker, Gillan and yours. Huge voice, huge talent. Huge loss.

[luch76]

uh there was a guy named JOHN FOGERTY!! that wasnt to shabby either!!

[arowwood12]

very good, very very good. :)

[Glorify27]

God Bless Steve Marriott. A great singer and musician!

[Kelly14UK]

YUP.

[petermtrow]

@Glorify27 i can remember seeing steve marriot afew times at the royal standard walthamstow shortly before his death and after sharing afew drinks with him at the bar i have never come across any musician with less of an ego.he treated the fans like mates and rocked that place.

[bungalowmo]

Great tune! Humble Pie was the first concert I saw...with Montrose as their opener!

Also...Todd Rundgren does a wonderful cover of this song too!

[66mate21]

what can I say , he was the goven,er the boss R.I.P STEVE MARRIOTT.

[philwear]

[chippauly]

MARRIOT, THE GUVNOR!!!!!!!!!

[reggit123]

[JIMMYBUSHIDO]

[eturfrey]

Awesome Marriott

[jts001]

[B2L4U7E]

3rd great version of this ive seen now at youtube -- small faces w/ pp arnold, packet of 3, and now this.

all three dynamite. thnx for the 'tube.

☮

[Arrowwood11]

best opening of a song I have ever heard.

[riskyfool]

I really love the opening of this by the small faces. Very cool little piano intro. Look that one up.

[Arrowwood11]

I like that version too.

[sasjazz2]

I sooo love the photo, just wish i could get it on canvas.

[canucthereallme]

marriot has the greatest voice to cum out of this country just listen to him.gollum u miss mac i know what ure saying

[mrsgollum]

Great Cover but I prefer the organ sound on the original.

[stratoman2004]

Not strictly a cover if the guy performing it wrote it and sang on the original...but I know what you mean...

[Arrowwood11]

so cool

[ESMbass]

really a great version

[LoveMarriott]

GREAT. Love it.

[11thedogfather]

is this the pack of 3 recording 1985

[sasjazz2]

I love the photo of Steve, anyone know where it comes from? please.

[pippandaeyes]

He's the best love him to bits xx

[rowland1953]

Awesome loved it when the Small faces did it, love this version Steve Marriot was my idol bless him.

[YZippy]

Saw a cover with Paul Weller not to long ago. As much as I love Weller he couldn't even come close...this is it. Jeff USA...

[tinshedmusic]

Go for the throat is mk 2 humble pie album this track from,also great version of all shook up,and a great marriott tune teenage anxiety,a top album with bobby tench,sooty jones and jerry shirley. also same period (early 80s the other album with fool for a pretty face," Onwards to victory" gud album..

God bless steve marriott.. vale steve.

God bless steve marriott....vale...

[gorblimey61]

"Go For The Throat" is probably the better album of the two. "On To Victory" has some good tracks, but the mix isn't very good.

[tinshedmusic]

Yeah, i liked the bigger they come also ,from the demo w/frampton.

Steve was great on Easybeats tunes Friday on my mind ,and Good Times.

[zeets93]

Go For the Throat is Mark III Pie. Different bass player I believe. Good album though.

[CatNika]

Back to revisit, this song sends chills up my spine.

[CatNika]

► Clicked to favorites. ◄

True blue Steve Marriott fan here.

R.I.P Steve

[blueswailer1952]

Awesome version! Does anyone know what Pie album this is from, 'coz I'm gonna have to get this ASAP. Everone talks about Steve's voice and guitar playing (and quite rightly too), but he was a sodding good harp player and so underrated as a songwriter.

[11thedogfather]

quality didnt know humble recorded this later with steve

[whirlized]

My cover band did this song in the 60's. It usually fit in pretty well between Love Me Two Times (Doors) and You Keep Me Hanging On (Vanilla Fudge). And it was a total blast to do.

[skinnynorris85]

my father just told me he saw humble pie live in the seventies as an supporting act of focus. i d love to have been there too

[MyNameIsMichaelCain]

IT`S ALL ABOUT STEVE MARRIOT!!!

[speedyeyed]

this is killer, thanx for this one, I'm gettin my pie today, anybody out there got ,

Only a Roach, would love that one too...

[robinlee1972]

I got only a roach on 7inch vinyl with big black dog on the b.side.

[arnol7608]

Thanks for uploading it. He was great amongst the great ones.

[lisaskell]

cheers clatty for sending it's awesome,marriot's a legend,the mutt's nuts

[clattybrown]

The dogs bollox, top class, only one man could enhance this perfect tune and Steve's the man, thanks so much for the post, would love to hear Red Balloon by Humble pie, now that would rock my wee world

cheers urbanlcon for the heads up

[UrbanIconoclast18]

My God! Never heard this before! Ha! Bless him - he got "some reaction" and "satisfaction" round the wrong way!! Yeah, that voice. Gives me the shivers...

[clattybrown]

Thanks big time, Love it

[ploppy193]

Thanx for msg, see I said it was aggravation. :)

[tinshedmusic]

yeah there must be a lot of us that have this as number one...the original it never got much better...luv the bulk of steves stuff aspecially the packet o three era ,rock ,soul, blues ,he was pound for pound ,the best...music industry are shiteaters..god bless da mijit..

[zenos12]
