I saw Paul Weller in a hotal bar in Nottingham a few years back. I didn't say hello, mind you he did not even recognise me lol, I expect he gets fed up with people day I used to listen to your music years ago (but now i dont bother),
i find it intriguing that people say that there aren't great musicians or bands any more. they are all out there, loads of them. they're just not dominating the charts, sadly. people being force-fed fast-food pop pap think they like all that shit but if they/you just look around a bit (and without the internet this would be hard, so thank god for that) there is good stuff out there now, just as much as there was plenty of shite in the 70s and 80s.
@playgirlc yeah there was lots of shite in the charts in the 70s but the good stuff was epic(see above) and yeah if look you find some good stuff now but you shouldn't have too!! in the late 70s we had for about 4 years (from the first clash album to the jams sound affects) a great time i was14 in 77 and it was one of the best times to be a teenager, the jam,the pistols ,the clash,the specials,ian dury,elvis costello ,the undertones,madness i could go on but you get the point
Awesome. Hey 3rduncle, that's what we said to our dad's and they came back at us with The Beatles. It's not a reaction against you - it's a reaction against the numpty bollocks that gets portrayed as music nowadays.
Great stuff but there is nothing more tedious than middle aged men talking about "real" music. The world has moved on. Deal with it. You sound just like your parents.
Saw From The Jam last night on Looe beach. Great to hear those songs played live, but very wierd hearing Weller's songs and voice coming out of someone else.
BERLIN (Reuters) – A German court has ordered former Thin Lizzy guitarist Gary Moore to pay damages after ruling the guitar solo in his 1990 hit "Still Got the Blues" had been plagiarized from a German song written in 1974.
A court in the southern city of Munich said on Wednesday the solo in Moore's song was too similar to the one in "Nordrach" by the band Jud's Gallery not to have been copied
they had the style and professionalism and plenty of chops but, in my opinion, lacked the depth and superficial appealof early who in the mod genre.........certainly not as fun.....like comparing ramones to the 60s sonics.
@posthumanhero Yes the Jam were a band of their time and most of their music has not aged well. 'Going Underground' will always be a masterpiece though.
@MrNotbornyesterday1 youre joking i hope- most of the jam stuff is still relevant and popular- in fact this tune here was not unlike libertines and arctic monkeys-
raw and fucking boss! i saw the jam live 7 maybe 8 times, in your face music often with a message. no one about to smash it up that way and give you a great gig night with young questioning attitude. Kids all just wanna tasty gaff and a nice motor now and everything else is unimportant.
why the hell are people comparing thin lizzy and the jam on here?!?! two completely uncomparable bands.
Lizzy were a heavy metal rock band, the jam a punk band, and stood for completely different things?! it's like comparing black sabbath with the clash, you just can't really do it?!
This band will be with me always, paul, as myself are now knocking on, i still feel 18, however, im not, fuck it.
i REMEMBER THE FIRST DAY AT MY JOB,I DIDNT GET ON WITH THE FOREMAN BOB, DO THIS DO THAT, CANT EVEN STOP FOR A COUGH, HE USED TO BE A SEARGANT IN THE RAF.
Terror on the pavement, paranoia in shop doorways.... The kids want some action, and who can fucking blame them now. Nout much changes then. Shame that.
What a band to spend your teenage years devoted to them,,,,, what a saddo ? Nae chance.
R.I.P John Weller, let me into soundchecks and the george hotel in Edinburgh to meet the band. He was like all us a Jam FAN.
NOW THAT WAS A BAND,you cant compare thinlizzy to the jam,different leauge ,boys r bak in town or thats entertainment,no contest no brainer,{wildchild} no fuckin brain
@ccm35071 In terms of musicianship, melody and vocal,stage presence, guitar tone, just genral song writing really Thin Lizzy are superior to the jam. Just a fact sorry bout that.
Sorry kidswithbricks1 but old men can never generate the same energy as their youth especially with an audience made of overweight middle class saddos trying to relive their youth or their memory of working class youth. People like Mick Jagger use the example of the old bluesmen still playing in old age but the bluesmen don't strut about the stage in embarrassing leggings pretending they are in their 20s. Also the whole point isn't just about being good, it's being relevant.
some people don't know there arse from there elbow ! the jam boreing now thats takeing the piss ! ))) you need help m8 ! ! ! im a raver but still see just how good these were !
i truly luv ths band so much. ther music haz az much meaning az anything the clash did and i truly luv the clash azwell!! aftr all ths time it still holds such a huge place in my hart and itz on ogwt. was ther any1 tht didnt make it 2 ogwt. luv ths show
im thirteen, and i love all this stuff, great to see weller still coming up with great albums, but not so great foxton turning the jam into a karaoke band, even if i think russel hastings has a similar voice to weller.
silly cunt, it's obvious. i feel sorry for the youth of today. to never experience a band as good as this, a lead, a bass and a set of drums. the fabulous four and the frenetic three
@snodds88 I dont know there was this element of corniness to this song, and what makes it funnier it the fact that these guys are dead serious "JAMMING" hahaha I mean look at the bass player at 0:49. good fun song.
The Jam could have been as big as Emerson, Lake & Palmer if they'd just stayed together, grew long hair, got custom-made tour lorries with their names on them & progressed their rock capabilities towards a more virtuoso standard. Shame...what could have been.
boy am i glad they didn't go down the ELP route. dont get me wrong, i dig all kinds of music, even ELP, but these guys were meant to just be this way and only this way. its like they're forever 19 or 20 something.
@1MrCiaran to be fair he is Japanese, most japs woudl never have heard of the jam never mind paul wellar. how many japaneese bands and singers can you name? I would take a guess at zero!!!
a great description of london when houses finally crash . a bomb in wardour street , you billy hunt for buying at such stupid prices . and the britons instead of directing their wrath at the banksters and krusty allsopp will do a race riot with their mis directed wrath like down the tube station at midnight .
@samblacklabrador f++k that...sorry...good enerjizz but crap attitude...Union jokes and all that nonsense...2nd album has good songs and later rather good Weller became a gd singer when he let some blackness into his soul...before he was just another spotty brit in a parka...like no brains at all...and very arrogant...I like the bass playing
@MsGORGONS Got to laugh at your comment. Stupid text spellings and 'like no brains at all' I thought was the pinnacle of self-satire , thanks for brightening up my day.
@TheModCon while i consider the jam days his best- his solo career and some of the council stuff has been great as well- wildwood is as good as anything he ever did and recently hes penned atleast two dozen great songs from his last few solo albums- the new one i think is great!
Savage!! the attitude! the energy! it was about time... the youth were sick of all the long hair and concept albums of the seventies. Did anyone else have 'In the City' and 'The Modern World' LP's attached to each-other as a double pack?? Thats what we got in Ireland anyway.
Raw aggressive poweful anti establishment songs, thats what it was all about back then, it really doesnt matter if The Jam were playing Rickenbacker, Ibenez or fucking elastic bands, they were a "sound from the street we could relate to" Foxy!!....
The Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Jam. That was my time, and it was Great, but, theres some blinding bands out there now. so just plug that Guitar in, and make some Fucking Noise..YEAH!!!
To me, Weller wrote his best tunes when he was with the Jam. To this day, there'so band I would rather listen to than the Jam. Watching the Jam live is just the icing on the perfect cake.
@SunnBurn ye !!! That's sums it up about British patisserie...You've had donuts with icing that looks like spunk?? and taste like marmite...here we go...sums up the Jam...you need a lot of T with that lot. Auntie mabel will you put the kettle on please...I'm having a bad day
I am 15 and i have seen Weller twice now, and at both gigs i have been asked if i am a relation of his. ^^ The first was a few days before his father passed. Awesome solo and the jam were great too!!
i agree i went and saw the pistols in 1996 it was great but not the same as 1976-77 what have they got to be angry about now.the same with the jam .great in in 77-82 but we all get old.its ashame
yallop9,as a mid 50s guy i say kiss my ass..lol..but you DO have a good point....these guys are making a buck tho same as the paper boy....you don't have to pay to go see it.
A fantastic Snap Shot of the late 70's - A far more Violent time .... Violence in Tube Stations, at Gigs, at the Footie, on Picket Lines.........Never did me any Harm!!
I bought everything by The Jam up until and including the All Mod Cons album (still one of my favourites). For me that album was their defining moment. The songs and musicianship were superb. Wellers use of feedback was very mature, blending it into the tune instead of making it sound like some wailing radio interference. Although his song writing is acknowledged, his ability and influence as a guitarist is often overlooked.
the song was written against a backdrop of political and social unrest in the UK in the late '70s - ie, "the apocalypse". Doctor Martens are the make of boots worn by skinheads, the police, the army... nasty, aggressive fxxxx, basically. so Weller's alluding to decent, ordinary people being subjected to beatings by DM-wearing thugs as "the apocalypse" takes hold.
Thanks, wibeseeker: In America the single came with a lyric sheet that read "Dr. Martin", but I should have made the connection to "Doc Martens" boots, which were big here too.
People who bang on about old men reuniting as though it would be same, you are deluded idiots with no understanding of time or reality. The Sex Pistols reuniting was one of the most unpleasant things I have seen. I'm not sacred about these things but things belong in their time. You don't go around asking 50 odd year old blokes to go back and start doing a paper round, do you?
I agree, the music was of it's time, i was there at the time, it sounded great then and still does now. My sister who is alot younger than me grew up listening to me playing this music and she loves The JAm. I have an 11 year old daughter who listens to th usual Lady Gaga, JLS stuff but has also listened to The Jam while in my car, she often aks me to put the CD on and sings along. Lets leave it alone and not talk of reunions eh?????
Would totally agree with your wise words.....that was until I saw my teenage Idols The Specials at Manc Appollo last yr 3rd may,then at Blackpool............FUCKIN AMAZING...........sounded as good as ever!! :)
No band should ever reform, its invariably amounts to nothing less than a travesty. Bands have their time; live fast, die young. You're right, Yallop9, when I heard the Pistols were reforming I laughed it off as a some warped joke...if only.
@yallop9 I'm right with you mate.It's just sad that people need things like old gaffers coming back around to fill some kind of emptiness in their lives.But one thing my dad's 75 and does have a paper round.Doing it for a few extra bob during retirement.
@yallop9 weller never difformed...he killed off the JAM at the right time...didn't have anything valid to say anymore...in that format. Pistols doing Finsbury Pk in 94 was great...was it 1994? just the bit with the two footballers at the beginning was crap...football's for numbskulls
@yallop9 dickhead, i see paul weller every year, hes just gettin better all the time, to go back in time and see the lads play again would be the dogs bollox
@kayaksimon Better in what way? Technically? Rock n Roll was and always will be about youth expression and energy. Old men playing old hits is cabaret for balding sad old men who refuse to relinquish their youth gracefully. The male equivalent of those ageing woman who have all the cosmetic surgery.
@yallop9 relinquish my youth gracefully, why? what are you an 18 year old with no experience of life, you have so little knowledge of music, turn your pc of and try to get out more, fuckin kids of today, god help the planet, oh and better in every way
@kayaksimon No I'm 47 & I remember The Jam in their prime. They did their stuff and Weller decided it was time to move on and mature. That's a man who knows how to change (pardon the pun) and evolve, not stick to a well worn path. By the way, my pc's been off for nearly a week as I've been out & my musical knowledge from 1965-1983 is exemplary though music has been substandard since then.
I saw Paul Weller in a hotal bar in Nottingham a few years back. I didn't say hello, mind you he did not even recognise me lol, I expect he gets fed up with people day I used to listen to your music years ago (but now i dont bother),

To me, Weller wrote his best tunes when he was with the Jam. To this day, there'so band I would rather listen to than the Jam. Watching the Jam live is just the icing on the perfect cake.

I bought everything by The Jam up until and including the All Mod Cons album (still one of my favourites). For me that album was their defining moment. The songs and musicianship were superb. Wellers use of feedback was very mature, blending it into the tune instead of making it sound like some wailing radio interference. Although his song writing is acknowledged, his ability and influence as a guitarist is often overlooked.

Could one of our British friends enlighten me: On "A-Bomb", who is Dr. Martin, and why is he responsible for the APOCALYPSE?
angel4everable 1 year ago
@angel4everable
the song was written against a backdrop of political and social unrest in the UK in the late '70s - ie, "the apocalypse". Doctor Martens are the make of boots worn by skinheads, the police, the army... nasty, aggressive fxxxx, basically. so Weller's alluding to decent, ordinary people being subjected to beatings by DM-wearing thugs as "the apocalypse" takes hold.

Thanks, wibeseeker: In America the single came with a lyric sheet that read "Dr. Martin", but I should have made the connection to "Doc Martens" boots, which were big here too.

People who bang on about old men reuniting as though it would be same, you are deluded idiots with no understanding of time or reality. The Sex Pistols reuniting was one of the most unpleasant things I have seen. I'm not sacred about these things but things belong in their time. You don't go around asking 50 odd year old blokes to go back and start doing a paper round, do you?

@yallop9
I agree, the music was of it's time, i was there at the time, it sounded great then and still does now. My sister who is alot younger than me grew up listening to me playing this music and she loves The JAm. I have an 11 year old daughter who listens to th usual Lady Gaga, JLS stuff but has also listened to The Jam while in my car, she often aks me to put the CD on and sings along. Lets leave it alone and not talk of reunions eh?????

No band should ever reform, its invariably amounts to nothing less than a travesty. Bands have their time; live fast, die young. You're right, Yallop9, when I heard the Pistols were reforming I laughed it off as a some warped joke...if only.

@yallop9 Its a reuniting for the old men like me that makes you not forget about your youth.
Orange hair wearing your mums kilt and wild times.
What will you remember when your older .
Got to go to bed now so I can be on time for paper round.

@yallop9 weller never difformed...he killed off the JAM at the right time...didn't have anything valid to say anymore...in that format. Pistols doing Finsbury Pk in 94 was great...was it 1994? just the bit with the two footballers at the beginning was crap...football's for numbskulls

@kayaksimon Better in what way? Technically? Rock n Roll was and always will be about youth expression and energy. Old men playing old hits is cabaret for balding sad old men who refuse to relinquish their youth gracefully. The male equivalent of those ageing woman who have all the cosmetic surgery.

@yallop9 relinquish my youth gracefully, why? what are you an 18 year old with no experience of life, you have so little knowledge of music, turn your pc of and try to get out more, fuckin kids of today, god help the planet, oh and better in every way
kayaksimon 8 months ago
@kayaksimon No I'm 47 & I remember The Jam in their prime. They did their stuff and Weller decided it was time to move on and mature. That's a man who knows how to change (pardon the pun) and evolve, not stick to a well worn path. By the way, my pc's been off for nearly a week as I've been out & my musical knowledge from 1965-1983 is exemplary though music has been substandard since then.
