The Jam-Interview.

[TheWhupper]

Woking ? That's on the Waterloo line, between Clapham and Basingstoke. It's commuter belt suburbia, not hard nut London.

[bono300vox]

liam habla como Paul Weller, cono ese acento como mancunian.. pero paul no es de manchester o si?

[DANNYM35]

@deltabluedparttwo

I'm not suprised they couldn't get a word in edge-ways. Especially with that interview just asking Paul the questions. Have a look in the mirror... he's just constantly looking at Paul.

[etienne1234567]

Funny he slags off lightweight "fun" pop then formed the Style Council.

[desasterz]

dont call it Punk, thats the shitty manipulators name given to music hat was suposed to happen

[finnandcork]

rather than go by zip code, its the era that has to be magnified: the era that spawned The birthday Party, The Big Boys, Dead Kennedys, Undertones, Stiff Little Fingers, Clash, Ramones, AC DC(Bon Scotts version was closer to bluesy Oi!), 1970-1980, Black Flag, Germs, DOA, Talking Heads.....

@82thegift

[aid345]

metalli, paul weller comes from woking in london, and they are complety british thats why they sing about stuff in england, not america, thats why tehy are so much bigger in in england then america. you couldnt get more british than the jam

[metalli07]

[jonnytheoasisfan]

[MrVinalmagic]

[samblacklabrador]

metallio7 listen man,GREAT BRITAIN has spawned the best groups ever i.e THE BEATLES THE WHO THE ROLLING STONES LED ZEPPELIN SEX PISTOLS THE JAM THE CLASH OASIS... need I go on? what have the good old usa given us? even guns n roses had to have slash from OLD BLIGHTY to have any success. Ha Ha we GREAT BRITISH rest our case...

[metalli07]

What !? Oasis !??? Have a word!

John Lennon said before Elvis there was nothing. and the punk bands you mention wouldn't have happened without the Ramones and the Stooges. Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band were the best band of all time in anycase... er... that's it.

[bobby064eva]

true true!!!

but, you forgot the arctic monkeys!

and T-Rex

and maybe, at a push U2

haha

[V8Deuce]

What have the "Good ol USA" given you? Elvis,Chuck Berry,Muddy Waters,Robert Johnson,Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent, Little Richard,Carl Perkins & Link Wray . None of your English bands would of existed if it wern't for the artists mentioned above ! I'll take this one step further. Ask any of the bands you mention who were their major influences. Do you know what they would say? They would mention the people i just did ! Know your musical history before you state such nonsense !

[youthfulpunk15]

yeh but they couldnt have done what the beatles did and u have meantioned many artists. it took the beatles one atrist

[V8Deuce]

Yeah? Oh, well yeah? Yeah? . What kind of nonsense are you talking about ?!?!?!? Again, you twats need to learn your musical history before you state such B. S. !

[V8Deuce]

samblacklabrador, You're a Wanker !

[samblacklabrador]

@V8Deuce fuck u yankee cunt..

[HairManisEddie]

Obvious troll is obvious

[finnandcork]

@HairManisEddie

get some minge, you pooter geek, a troll? Yes, and in the real world you have white sticky as velcro fingers, a pot belly, pimples and a secret desire to have Gordon Brown to Cleveland Steamer your mug.

[HairManisEddie]

I laughed at loud.

You obviously dont know shit,

A troll is someone who tries to start an argument.

You full retarded or something?

[metalli07]

Its all an act taking the pss out of the british shit heads! go there Team US!

[metalli07]

why the hell are they putting on these stupid british accents ?! who cares about the stupid place !? they just wanna be french! hell everyone knows The Jame are from NY!! go there America !

[TheDapperSwindler]

Seems to me Paul was the idea hub of the group, even in interviews. You could kind of see this in the music anyway. Not necessarily a bad thing though, because everything he said is absolutely true.

[jampactkev]

Typical Weller says it as it is.. and he is so right...btw were are depeche Mode & altered Images ?? EXACTLY NOT AROUND...

[metalli07]

DM were for a while ... weren't they?

[PeterPumpkinhead1]

Excellent stuff!

[giles1990]

chaved up weller!!!:O

[modgirl64]

You Rule Ace! Thx for posting

[AmericanLeather]

This, has to be the best interview of them ive seen because Weller explains the "myth of rockstars" and how marketing can make bad bands seem good, and more importantly, vice-versa. Thank you for the post.

[bloodnokian]

Wow you keep coming up with rare gems, thanks :)

[daveharrs]

Great interview, another rare gem, cheers aceface!
