* FaceOfTheBand: Music/RodStewart's continued solo success made him this more and more over time, eventually leading to the disintegration of the band.

* RefrainFromAssuming: Some people think that the song "Ooh La La" is called "I Wish That I Knew What I Know Now", which is the first and third line of the chorus. The title does appear in the song, but it is not as prominent a lyric.

* HilariousInHindsight: Their first live gig in 1969 was at a US Air Force base in Cambridgeshire, a fact that immediately calls to mind ''Film/ThisIsSpinalTap''. You can totally picture Creator/FredWillard making the remark that one of the band's roadies says the base commander said to him during the show: "They're playing a bit loud, aren't they?"

** "Ooh La La" can come across this way now that Ronnie Wood is old enough to be the grandfather in the song.



** "Cindy Incidentally" borrows the EpicRiff from the rock version of [[Music/AnotherSideOfBobDylan "I Don't Believe You (She Acts Like We Never Have Met)"]] that Music/BobDylan played on his 1966 world tour with [[Music/TheBand The Hawks]]. It also sounds a little like [[Music/LetItBe "Get Back"]].

** "Three Button Hand Me Down" was pretty obviously based on "Some Kind of Wonderful" by Soul Brothers Six (later CoveredUp by Music/GrandFunkRailroad), and also manages some SelfPlagiarism, since it's an obvious companion piece to Stewart's solo song "An Old Raincoat Won't Ever Let You Down".

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: While they did better chartwise in the UK, they were a reliable touring and FM radio favorite in America, and were far more successful there than Music/TheSmallFaces had been, though Americans tended to view them more as "The Music/RodStewart Group" than the Brits did.

* BreakupBreakout:
** [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-zagged a bit]] with Music/RodStewart, since his BreakthroughHit "Maggie May" came when he was still in the band, and his bandmates helped out on his early solo albums. In fact, Stewart's solo success gave Faces a ColbertBump, with their biggest hits coming after "Maggie May". But Stewart becoming an A-list rock star after the breakup can be taken as a classic example of the trope.
** Arguably the case for Ron Wood and Kenney Jones as well, since they became much more famous after the breakup as members of Music/TheRollingStones and Music/TheWho respectively.
