Its slowed down coz he's getting old and although its the same man playing the same songs with the same messages we all mellow with age. Plus you won't find any musician that can play these songs as well as Bruce & Rick or as fast, tight and punchy.
this isnt very good and im a huge weller fanatic- its just too slow and kind of bar band sounding- wellers voice sounds shot here- ive saw him last year and he was great but this kind of falls flat
The crowd are like statues - too often a typical site at Weller gigs - those that have come just to say they've seen him. Get off your arses and enjoy yourselves or just wait till You Do Something To Me comes on so you can hug your wife a bit more.
I saw him do this in Cork last year. I was totally surprised that he did it, and I was so fucking excited. It was absolutely top! Same when he did it in the Olympia, too.
that guy doesnt even write his own stuff he fucking steals wellers because hes too much of a useless cunt to do shit himself, hes living in wellers fame that will always shit on his. Russel is a fuck and should do something himself instead of stealing others, no one wants to move on from some of the best music,
@CatapultYourMom but you need to get rid of the old to get in with the new - otherwise we would never progress not only musically or as a race, weller knows what hes doing, Russel doesnt know shit and is just appealing to the fat bastard with a pint and a baggy mod target shirt who still claims to be a mod singing along..
@CatapultYourMom hes not ass raping them at all, hes replaying them - songs that HE wrote and were a large part of his success as a musician. so of course hes going to play his OWN music, why wouldn't he? as for the new he is making new songs you idiot and doing just as well so.... urmmm... your a fucking idiot kthanks.
it is the bbc radio theatre the crowd were told in advance not to stand or they would be ejected as it was being filmed. thats why everyone is sitting down
@gordywilson 79, I think, I used to get breakfast in the cafe, I'd play this on the jukebox there before going into work. Like every kid in the70's if I had a job it was a shitty one, mine was selling crap furniture. Counting the pennies I couldn't really afford to spare the change, So why was I there every morning, because The Jam spoke for me. Now I see people sitting cos the same people the Jam were showing the v to told them to. Why do I feel so old?
Of course, this is a fabulous song. But The Jam version was much better, especially in details like using the guitar and not the bass to punctuate the break it up parts. I've seen Paul Weller live and I do think that Steve Craddock is not the guitarrist that suits him best.
Yep too slow, and wtf does Craddock insist on using crap delay effect's in PW's songs?? More to the point, why does PW allow it? drop the effects and speed up
Oh christ how to ruin a classic! As has been said, too slow with not an ounce of the anger it had when he originally wrote it. Just going through the motions.

@FesterCrust His new songs blow, so he tries to drag his old stuff down to his current low level so it's not so obvious. Sad.

@CatapultYourMom Not enough people will give his 'new' stuff since 1990 a chance coz they're too locked into their Jam Greatest Hits.

No no no Weller. For a man who wants to always look forward this is not the way forward!!
If it was done with a bit of balls then maybe yeah MAYBE. But this version is bloody awful. Too slow, grim guitar effects - frankly sterile.
C'mon Paul you're BRILLIANT but leave Strange Town where it belongs. In the past!!

@lunny5 It would of been brilliant to see a bunch of 45 - 50 year olds jumping up and down to this ;) and I'm not skitting I'm 49 myself.
I just wonder why Mr Weller is singing it slower that I remember in the early 80's!
