Timeline
Tetsu Yamauchi (山内 テツ) is a Japanese retired musician.
Yamauchi was born in 1946 in Fukuoka, Japan.
In the late 1960s, Yamauchi played with Mickey Curtis and his band Samurai.
This involvement led to him working as a session musician in both Tokyo and London.
In the 1970s, he was a member of several popular rock bands, including Free, where he replaced original bassist Andy Fraser before the band's final album Heartbreaker, and Faces, where he replaced Ronnie Lane and appears on the band's final single, "You Can Make Me Dance, Sing or Anything", as well as touring with them and playing on the live album Coast to Coast: Overture and Beginners.
In the late 1970s, Yamauchi returned to Japan, continuing to work as a session musician and tour and record with his own bands and with other artists.
In 1972, he contributed to the album Kossoff, Kirke, Tetsu and Rabbit with Free guitarist Paul Kossoff and drummer Simon Kirke, together with keyboard player John "Rabbit" Bundrick.
He subsequently joined Free to participate in their final 1973 studio album Heartbreaker, replacing Andy Fraser.
In August 1973, Yamauchi replaced Ronnie Lane in the Faces as their bass guitarist, but according to Faces keyboardist Ian McLagan, Yamauchi's recruitment turned out to be a mistake because he was not really the right type of bassist for them, and he had been hired to replace Lane in haste without the band properly auditioning him beforehand.
Furthermore, McLagan stated that Yamauchi embraced a drinking and partying lifestyle when he, Rod Stewart, Ronnie Wood and Kenney Jones were now attempting to minimize their own significant drinking behaviour and become more creative.
“We made a mistake really with Tetsu,” said McLagan.
“It wasn’t his fault, but he was a party boy and thought he was in for lots of drinks and a little bit of playing, while we were looking for more creation and a lot less boozing."
According to Rod Stewart, Yamauchi was "a sweet Japanese guy who barely spoke English", and because of this communication barrier, his bandmates often found it difficult to understand how he was feeling.
Despite any misgivings some of his bandmates may have harboured about his compatibility, Yamauchi nevertheless remained a fully-contributing member of Faces for over two years — appearing on two single releases, the 1974 live album Coast to Coast: Overture and Beginners and participating in a number of global-scale stadium tours — and his association with the band only came to an end when the group itself dissolved at the end of 1975.
Following the breakup of Faces, Yamauchi recorded a solo album and continued working as a session musician.
He also recorded various solo albums and did extensive work as a session musician before retiring from the music sometime in the late 1990s.
He retired from the music industry in the late 1990s.
In retirement, Yamauchi relocated to the countryside with his family to live a quiet life.
According to his friend Alan Merrill, Yamauchi refused to speak to anyone from the press, living a "humble and very religious" lifestyle, and considering it "juvenile and vain" for people of his age to still be performing rock and roll; he refused the invitation to take part in a Faces reunion.
