  • The Dreams Of Children certainly came true for Noel... imagine playing with the genius of Paul Weller....

  • The second is Damon Albarn, not Paul Weller.

  • To be someone, tool

  • @Barksy100 Right you are lad

  • shame noel cant write as good as weller

  • @joydivision808 well yeah he can, i think hes better, Paul's songwriting is still pretty fuckin awsome though

  • Noel fucking legend!

  • "...Ain't that the truth."

  • oh this is class ..love the pic of noel at 0.26.. love weller, both are no nonsense quality guys..this is special ..

  • Paul Weller, working class hero...

  • Shite version of an excellent song

  • brilliant song. liam probly thinks this is crap . noel better singer/, can knock them out. tastefully xx

  • to be honest i prefer the vocals on the live performance of to be someone the other track is awsome

  • great guitar!

  • oasis are good,but cant touch weller,this is a total fail,fuickin northern monkeys

  • Dosenpulver - The first song is called "To be someone" by The Jam (Paul Weller´s band)

    rakimaddogg07 - There are loads of better guitar players than Noel is, but there is nobody who would be better songwritter than him.

  • did i have a nice time

    f**king right i did

    how said bingo was not for the bads

  • Its great! Where do I get the song?

  • "it's not the truth..."

    funny noel !!

  • love this song! <3

  • how old was mr weller when he wrote this classic 18

  • Pure Genius

  • if noel always plays like this, he will be really successful in his solo career

  • Too true love this track on the Fire and Skill album...but Gene!!! NO!!!

  • noel at his best ..is fkn class

  • noel is a ledge

  • Noel.....the best!!!

  • classic noel

  • OASIS forever

  • bhoy rabbit....SHOCK HORROR OASIS are dead...prat

  • TO BE SOMEONE... its the name of the song.

    Great Noel, marvellous Weller!!!

  • nice song noel

  • the first song sounds like whatever by oasis mixed with waterfall by the stone roses

  • great tunes and there both legends !!!!!!!!!!

  • i agree with you think noel has best vocals in the world and they are fab live

  • ho ho ho im going for a shit

  • Boy Rabbit, "Can I no do the maths?" Can you speak English?

    Weller was rocking long before Oasis were but a gleam in their farther's eyes and will be when they are long forgotten. Noel's good but that brother of his...what a twat!

  • stop fuckin bickering and realise that paul weller and noel gallagher are both fucking legends, they are both shit-hot songwriters and guitarists. always have & always will be!!!!!!!!!!! GOD BLESS BRITISH ROCK & ROLL

  • Hear Hear, mate - A voice of reason amongst the ceaseless chatter. We got lucky, we have TWO genius singer songwriters !!!  (There are others too, yes, before someone gets all music critic on me ass )

  • Bigger than Weller? mmm mate, Weller's been going for decades and will go on. Let's see where Oasis is in 10 years... Paul will still be up there!

  • first seen Weller in 1982 the year The Jam split up ....i had to wait till 1995 to see another band to equal them ....its know 2009 n Oasis are still goin strong..MORE THAN 10 YEARS.....tssk can you no do the maths

  • love weller but all you knobs gobbing off about oasis are cock heads. oasis were twice as big as weller ever was. fact

  • Cant Believe what im hearin Paul Weller is awesome yes but who the fuck are you guys to bad mouth noel! hes in my eyes the greatest song writer of all time! A legend, my idol, the king!

  • Noel what a load of bollocks!! Was having a nice time till i heard you what a c**t

  • Thank YOU !!!!

  • The second song on this Video is actually Paul Weller and Steve Craddock of Ocean Colour Scene! Hes far and away a better Guitar player than Noel!!!

  • SECRET AFFAIR pIay The Camden Centre May 30th

  • oasismonkeyslfc you have hit the nail on the head uth, great comment

  • people who don't like noel's version of to be someone listen to it at chicago in 98. much better and more passion and soul in it

  • Just listened to the Chicago 98 set.. Sounds just the same to me, Just does not work mate.. The Jam nail that track and NG pulls out the nail and tries to hammer in a mushroom.... Each to their own though!!

  • Personally, although I'm no particular fan, I like his version. To me The Jam version is not so much 'nailed' as like being hit over the head with a sonic hammer.

    Each to their own, though.....

    Peace and love

  • fantastic lyrics from Weller. Top!

  • No pal.

  • The Jam are Gods!! Oasis are just a couple of car thieves from Manchester!! To be someone.......

  • The Gallaghers could not clean Wellers shoes if they took one each.. Oasis are a fantastic band but still just a spot on Wellers arse!!

  • "But didn't we have a nice time" makes all your mistakes fly by.

  • 2 legends playing together, does life get any better?!?!

    God Bless you 2 for the music you give us x

  • this is the best version on you tube up 2 now !!

  • where can i get this mp3? PLEASE

  • Noel makes this song his own. He's played this for years at gigs. A great Jam tribute. And Weller loves it.

  • Awesome cover from Noel.....

    The Jam tribute album is Fire and Skill. Its got this song, Liam, Garbage, Beastie Boys etc. GET IT - its a great album

  • The Jam is the best but..... Paul Weller is GOD no matter wot he does

  • I'm pretty sure its called

    "To be someone" ;)

  • Weller or Noel? Fuck, let's have them both! :D

  • Weller sounds like Damon from Blur on that second track.

  • I think it's more likely that Damon sounds like Weller. Erm. Who came 1st, I wonder.

    That said, mid 90s Blur were very good, and 'noone in the world' is one of my all-time favourie Jam songs.

  • not much love for noels version here . personally i dont think its to bad.

  • i agree with the last post

  • raining69!! u aint got a clue wot ur talkin about noel is a fuckin legend and always will b

  • you must be a cunt mate. Noel Gallagher is a God. My generations John Lennon/Beatles. Twat.

  • you have got tae be a knob mate!!

  • no comparison between the two songs the 1st is a poor, in your bedroom cover of a classic, my mate daz does it better by the way, the second is pure class.

  • "and if you're good we'll go out on sunday..."  that lyric haunts me!

  • 'alone on my expensive yacht' - the mere fact that Gallacher in late 30's couldn't come to terms with the vision of Weller at 20 shows the massive gulf in talent, vision and intellect - I reckon Weller lets him hang about like good looking girls do with fat pals - makes them look even better.

  • haha that's exactly what i think! noel is a great songwriter, but weller is a pure poet!

  • no offence but i think noel turns it into a bad, sad folk song

  • No offence taken, musics about opinions. All mod cons is a great album, I'm a big Weller fan, I just prefer Gallaghers melancholy droning cover.

  • Beautiful man, absolutely beautiful. I know the Weller fans wont like this but I reckon Gallagher owned To Be Somenone and as for No One In The World, what else can be said but pure class.

  • no way! the jam version is much better! noel gallagher doesn't really get the message of the song across! his vocals sound dreary and drag on at times, at other times he sings softly. in the jam's version we hear the anger of the disillusionment of fame over a well-balanced sound ranging from the early dreamy sounds/vocals to the raw wailing guitar snaps leading up to the third verse acompanied by wellers fierce stabbing vocals which gets the point across perfectly!

  • I like the song "no-one in the world" when he does it with steve cradock best, it was on an documentry about the jam ages ago.

  • The second is probably the most underrated Jam tune ever. Think this version's good? The original from his Jam days is on the 'Extras' CD.

    It's on my iPod. :D

  • didnt i have a nice time???

    to be someone must be a wonderful things..

  • yep two of the best songs ever writen thanks

  • cheers for this mate!!

    WELLERS TWO FINEST PECICES FROM THE JAM DAYS.

  • what is this 2nd song called?? been trying to figure out for ages!!

  • "No one in the world"

  • Hi, do you know where to get this version of 'no one in the world'? I've only got a version on the Jam "Extras" but this version is brilliant.

  • I'd like to know too!

  • Both these tracks are lifted straight from an album of Jam covers called "Fire and Skill". The Weller one is the unlisted bonus track

  • Well what can be said about these two that has not already been said?

    legends in our lifetime.
