The Style council - Walls come tumbling down

[66sunset1]

old skool songs man cant beat it better than that fucking rap crap shit

style council one of my fav bands

[Cambridgegraham]

Great performance, great song.  On an anal-type note - are they the only band to ever perform on TV with a synth, an organ & a piano?

[PeterHBne1]

Riot on baby - stick it to them. This is what this song is about. Time for a change......

[dmr123ful]

my number 1 tsc track......

[bob844hiro]

スタカン、やっぱＡ氏‼

[mspottke]

this song has so mouch power, after all this years.

[baz00x9]

Vielen Dank Paul,

DU hast in Moskau die Mauer eingerissen!

[sharnotshaz]

first gig i ever went to

[Badgerthedog4]

The perfect theme tune to the current events in the Middle East. Lights are going out. Walls are coming tumblin' down.

[bjorn2run]

@Badgerthedog4 And the Midwest and all across the US! ♬Those who play the power game / they take the profits, you take the blame...

[DonLusher]

...there's a wall in Rafah now waiting to come down...

[yahood66]

Good performance on this CLASSIC show

[milanotiki]

adore council,same age like me,for last ten years have the same hairstyle like paul,tiki,belgrade,serbia

[karaki4mari]

Who thought at that time that the Wall in Berlin would fall ?

[tallcoolone09]

This is a great song...love it! Was the back up singer in this band ever the back up singer for Wham! also?

[Garysmoggie]

Proof that fuck all changes, first single I bought I sat here now at 37 and the nation is back in the same peril it was then!

[Shaunthetarget]

Fantastic song preaching solid Socialist ideals!

[nickestone]

Great song ,great lyrics as relevant today as when they were written.Cameron wants to steal our health service and give it the bankers.They cant run the banks let alone our hospitals. UNITY IS POWERFUL a message to us workers to fight

[maynardglam]

Walls come tumbling down does sound like a critique on the Iron Curtain?

[TheCancio68]

great music!!! i love style council...best music of the best age! my age 80!!!

[lunny1963]

Weller is an absolute legend, this song was a real lift back in the day, as a veteran of the 84-85 miners strike its difficult to forget the contributions made and for me this still gets the juices flowing....

[joeymod135]

Yeah Man proper legend.

[clashcityrocker2007]

Does anyone have any chords for this song, Guitar preferably...? Im not to hot at working stuff out by ear, and it doesnt look like weller is actually playing any particular chords here.

[Coutureprincess0303]

Anyone know the classical piano piece played at the beginning?

[ragster316]

@Coutureprincess0303 Grieg's Piano Concerto in A minor.

[Spanko1967]

the cardigans were the business then, surprised they haven't made a comeback, come on the Modfather

[StevieRevbo]

Weller at his best!!

[E11AAW]

shame wellers a red labour twat, if only he was right wing blue!!!!!!!! u sad cunts

[clashcityrocker2007]

@E11AAW

dick

[puacino]

Great song!

[vidsampler]

What year was this?

I have two clips up of Paul Weller & Joan Jett being interviewed on The Tomorrow Show in the US, in 1977

[kirkbyla]

Are you gonna be threatened by the public enemy in number ten those who play the power game they take the profits we take  the blame,what lyrics our kids get simon cowell

[slowdown1]

[allyfoster1]

this is a fab song dedicated to glen xxx

[mustard101]

whos glen?

[BladeV8]

If anyone knows the chords of this song and can tell me

ill love them forever :)

[0630nicknu]

Talk to stanhopeplace. He does the best Weller covers, and if anyone can play it, he can.

[gordywilson]

the public enemy's no 10

[HALFAMICK]

loved this song true sound i think of the style council

[Blackburn35]

Very good, brings back rather wonderful memories.

[Shverina]

So fucking under rated... I'm still bitter The Style Council (and Paul Weller) didn't get their proper credit. :) *And yes, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE The Jam too*

[scandial]

@Shverina The Style Council were pretty huge for those of us in the know, I saw them 3-4 times in London around this time. FABULOUS post Jam incarnation.

[whirlpoolzend]

@Shverina Where as I agree that the Style Council may have been underrated in their time, they've certainly stood the test of time. And Paul still plays from a full repertoire of 1st class material dating back from the early Jam through to today.

This guy is a musical genius.

[kirkbyla]

weller married her and has a couple of kids

[kelikel2]

yes and i examined their kids in kensington.. he's really sweet shy and talks like a young teenager!

[wingedheels]

I guess Steve White is like 19 years old here? Amazing drummer, even then!!!

[obee1234]

paul weller is a legend

[swfc60]

Sheer quality from the best band from the 80`s

[ayajedi]

I never knew it was Dee on vocals! It's been years since I heard this song

[r1pp4]

I'm surprised at how awesome they sound live. Peter and Dee sound spot on with their vocals (unlike a lot of bands these days).

[r1pp4]

That would be Paul... woops :)

[Razzamabaz]

forgot how good some of the councils tunes were.

This one's a gem

[elizaanddarcy]

LOVE THIS SONG!

[soulboyone]

top song leave politics alone this is 80s mod at its best

[sweetpoddie]

god this takes me back lol

[Scribe66]

Thought I'd come back and watch this video on the day Blair stepped down and Brown stood up Ha ! and they call it a democracy.

Wellers words still stand true !

[ClaretandBlueNo1]

Fantastic song!

[Scribe66]

Vote Weller LOL

[Pekanvaimo]

Its easy to slag someone in the limelight like weller ok he went astray with some of his ideals but just cause some one has money dosent mean they cant care about less fortanute souls, and like some of you lot never got anything wrong no ones perfect. And when you look at it hes smarter than us hes the multi millon air right. one word jelousy!

[warrenbroad]

this is a classic song, i love the build up it really gets me going

[ThJoka]

we all change our views as we grow older whys that wrong?

[WhenRhodesAttacks]

I love this song to bits, it's so happy. It comes in the same leagues as shout to the top. One of the few songs i find reallly summery

LOL I like how they muck up on the piano at the beginning. *claps* professionals

[TopCat2304]

Although I'm a huge fan of both Weller and the Jam, I can't help but concede that Pricejames has made a very perceptive point. Many of those in positions of wealth and influence who preach socialism, practice capitalism. theparkersuk, I'm afraid you have a very narrow and idealistic viewpoint of a great musician, but one who can't also claim to be a social prophet.

[targetscooter88]

i agree..a bit disappointing but..nonetheless still better than most guys his age! trust me, im not all that old either...and i like paul...plus his lyrics are better than most..even tho he's lost his creative edge a bit lately..i blame noel

[theparkersuk]

Paul weller is a legend, price james you are a cuntthis song is amazing and so is most of his stuff so fuck you.

[frostycola]

This was an amazing performance. I saw it on the Whistle Test DVD and it literally gave me chills.

[paulrio]

Great song!! Paul did a great version at live aid.. he is a legend..

[PRICEJAMES]

Walls come tumbling down? So does this awful song! Ah well better than what Paul normally sings: "Vote Labour Vote Labour Vote Labour." Strange that seeing his children in private schools. Good luck to them - don't preach Paul what you can't do!

[juisthebest]

Hmm, and how would you know his children are in private schools ?
