The band started in 1965 as Small Faces. They dropped the "small" in 1969 when Rod Stewart and Ron Wood joined.
When touring with Stewart, they were known for living a wild lifestyle. They were banned from so many hotels, including the entire Holiday Inn chain, that they had to check in as "Fleetwood Mac." "The Faces all rather liked cocaine," Stewart wrote in his 2012 memoir, adding that Ian McLagan wore a fake carnation on stage that he would dust with cocaine so he could take a hit during shows.
Tetsu Yamauchi was a member of the band Free. Stewart and Wood came from the Jeff Beck Group.
