Lol I must admit the first couple of seconds of the video I thought: "who the fuck does this presenter think he is? Marc Bolan?". The I read the description. I had no idea he had a TV show. Awesome.
Why are these bloody cunts going to war between the Clash and the Jam. The Clash is my favorite band and everyone knows they were better than the Jam. The Jam is also one of my favorite bands, but the Clash is my #1 favorite band. Don't be a dumb bitch trying to stir up shit. The Clash were friends with the Jam and hung out with them and helped them by giving them advice and shows in the very early stages of the Jam's career. Be thankful creation blessed us with both of these amazing bands!!!
@pwyndam Musical taste is not objective,it's subjective and is therefore just amatter of taste.So your comment that the Clash are better than the Jam is just your opinion.
It's amazing Weller and Foxton didn't play together and barely spoke for 28 years following the end of the Jam until Wellers dad and Foxton's wife died within a few weeks of each other in 2010. It must have brought home that lifes too short for that kind of shit. This btw is a great record so exciting and innovative back in 1977.

@MrZiggycatt ...Bolan was crucial in the showcasing of New Wave artists. His show aided the first TV appearance of many 'punk' bands which helped the exposure of the New Wave movement at a time when it was shunned by other music programs. Bolan also inspired the 'punk' sound, and many of the artists on his show would have grown up Bolan fans. Now, please could you explain why Bolan should "FUCK OFF"?
@indydaisy1 you'd think with our low attention span we'd have more 1 minute punk songs, but noooooo we have 7 minute long slow as fuck 10 person bands
@windinizer the series also featured generation x eddie and the hot rods and some more new wave acts that i cant recall bolan was obviously trying to align himself with `new wave` (the damned supported him on tour) calling himself a punk godfather etc .mind you he was a definite influence on punk and many punks discovered pop music by being T.Rex fans (me being one )
Crikey I remember watching the Marc Bolan Show as a 15 yr old and thinking,why is this washed up Glam star fronting a music show? Now I can see this was a very brave and successful move by some ITV executive.
It would never happen now, unless it involved one of Cowell's miming idiots.
I also like the way Bolan introduces the band as 'Jam' like you expect to see a jar of Robertson's blackcurrant appear or something.
@MicktheMaster. what a load of rubbish "in response to sex pistole" lol. They were Mods, being punk never crossed their minds. If they had written that line in response to self restraint, than it was likely in response to the Mod movie "Quadrophenia"
@xaocam not true - weller says the pistols and clash were a huge influence on him in 1977 as the jam were starting- in fact he said it ws strummer who made him right more about politics- these are wellers own words- yes they were more mod but they took huge cue from punk s well
@KOSMICKEN09 sorry didn't think there would be any gaga fans here to upset, however as it is the top rated comment I will take your unrated comment with a pinch of salt, I don't think you realise the sincerity of the commemt ;)
the clash are better than the jam, so jaguars are better than aston martins. ha, ha . i love both bands but i am listening to the band who had most to say and i am not waiting for a quiet life
HAHAHAHAHAHAH! AOS 2:20 O BATERISTA 9 DRUMMER) DEIXA ESCAPAR SUA BAQUETA , KARA ISSO DA UMA RAIVA , JÁH AKONTECEU MUITO KOMIGO ISOO KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK, MUITOO BOM KKKK
@bloodythinandfast mate you are so fucking dry im off now clash are better than the jam, and i bet you still live with your mother ahahahahahah muppet
When this song came out I left the church choir and ripped up my t-shirts. My parents freaked. Over three decades later I still love this song. BTW, I was singing in the choir again last Christmas; still love music I guess.
Unlike most punk bands of the 1970s, the Jam could actually play their instruments...it wasn't just play as fast as you can and hope no one notice. Paul's music is exceptionally well-crafted and the Jam are one of the world's most under-rated bands. I love this stuff.
@kwolf68 what like rick dropping his drum stick so they end the song early hoping no one would notice? ha ha.
anyway the Jam where the biggest band ever at the time.they where the first band since Slade to enter the charts at No1 (3 times I think).they were huge as they say 'all around the world' just cause USA didn't wake up to them doesn't mean they were under-rated.
Marc was totally off his face when he fronted this show - I saw this show back in the day when I was 17 - check out Rick dropping a stick at the the end and Paul giving him daggers - live TV fuckin awesome
Their musical style was borrowed from the era .... the punk era ... But The Jam were never a punk band.
That's why this song contains the line "what's the point in saying destroy? I want a new life for everywhere". This was a direct riposte to the sex pistols message of "destroy" in Anarchy in the UK ".
i love all jam shit, all of the different eras of it, all of the paul weller style council shit, all the material he did with ocean colour scene, and smokin mojo filters... but man oh man, nothing beats all the early jam shit when they're just amped up, pissed off, almost (dare i say) punker than fuck, heavy as fuck. weller, foxton, buckler, the most genius three piece to date. don't get me wrong, i like the police, even rush (say what you want) but i love the balls to the wall jam shit.
@piledriver89 don't bother with a senseless comment PD89...plenty of people would agree,...pound for pound,The jam are the shit.And you suck for wasting my time.Piss off!
@piledriver89 still wasting my time Clash were just okay and right now,no-one really gives a sh*t about them,however The Jam NEVER went away...go back to the eighties and fucking stay there you dick sucking pansy fart.
@bloodythinandfast shut up you fucking muppet i bet your one of them uni students who thinks there a MOD hahah and you think your cool driving a vespa muppet 70s throwback im not really arsed what you have got to say i think both bands are shit hot
@piledriver89 still wasting my time,...I was 12 when the Jam made their debut...you are a terrible read and couldn't be further from truth,so do the math...you seem to know a bit too much about Mods,scooters and students you f-n 0===3 head.Fuck the Clash and fuck you too.....arsed??? Who f-n talks like that but a stink mouthed piece of sh*t clash fan...I won't even guess what you are or what your age,...you're just a time wasting nobody with an asshole for an opinion...
@bloodythinandfast sounds to me that someones got sand in there vagina grow up mate ur arguing over a computer sad bald spot wanker bet your wife left you cos your a bald spot wanker hahahah muppet
@piledriver89 ....just the fact that you're STILL commenting shows you're no f-n better and just a wise a s s piece of dung.I have more hair than you and more teeth. You're a total nad sucker.
@clashboy1977 Weller is a better songwriter and guitarist than Strummer or Jones.Foxton is clearly a Bass player of extreme talent and Buckler is very comparable to Topper...only someone with a name clashBOY1977 would be inclined to argue such a futile point...just like the rest of the motley bunch giving me grief over an opinion,Not one intellengent counter point from any of you opposing...The Clash were Sex Pistols-Lite at best.When they wrote Garageland...it was an accurate description.P.Off!
Weller doin' his Townsend vibe !! Is Bolan 'on something' ??
The Jam were great. No wonder Foxton was absolutely gutted when Weller called it a day. Nice to see that they've been working together again recently after such a lengthy time apart.
got to see them in newcastle mayfare...pulled down now...the support band was..''the new harts''i can remember pint glasses flying at one point at the support band..lucky they were plastic.....anyhoo the jam came on and fk me they were some thing else..black suit's and growling lyrics ,good times.
Marc's show was something else and even as a ten year old it seemed, well, unusual. Scheduled at a 4:20pm slot to in time for kids to watch after school and before dinner. He knew everyone who was anyone at the time consequently enjoyed some very surprising guest acts, even Bowie on one occasion. Search on Marc Bolan TV for more.
please feel free to come and see the lambrettas perform at rolls royce leisure centre in hucknall nottingham on friday may the 7th £10.00 per ticket 7.oopm till midnight,,,cheap beer...contact dean 07738355977 or julie 07910866205 for tickets
Love this song...but it amuses me that if the members of the Jam or their original fans tried this today, they'd most likely break a hip. By that I mean it's a testament to their transcendence through the years!
yeah, but he's not part of the mod revival culture. weller and foxton were part of it.same goes to townshend and marriot, they're mod but not a mod revival lads.bolan now becomes a great glam icon than he would be a mod icon.weller now even described as the MODFATHER which i think foxton better deserved that.
This video and lots of rare other ones are on the "complete jam" box set its an awsome compliation of videos and rare jam gigs......... the Jam at there best without doubt, I bet rick still cringes when he watches the end, but fuck even the best drummer in the world had to learn !!!
funny cause punk kind of got in the way of the progression of glamrock, shame, i love punk and will always be a punk but it would have been intersting to see how glam would have evolved, not the 90s shit acts but the early lot 70-75, five years aint a long time-wve had punk bands for 33 years now, and its took on all kinds of tangents, which is great and what it was supposed to be about in the first fucking place!!!
'Can't dismiss whats gone before... but there's foundations for us to explore'
I think this was the moment Weller cast-off any association with punk music and its tired scene. The Sexs Pistols said 'I wanna Destroy passers by 'caus i wanna be Anarchy'..... Weller says in this 'Whats the point in sayin' Destroy? you'd want a new life for everywhere, All around the world i'v been lookin' for a NEW!'
Weller was just trying to re boot the Mod scene which he loved so much , and this was his coming of age in a sea of labour strikes and punk vs prog. rock turmoil of the late 70 s. x
Foxton have a amazing voice!

He knew everyone who was anyone at the time consequently enjoyed some very surprising guest acts, even Bowie on one occasion. Search on Marc Bolan TV for more.

Love this song...but it amuses me that if the members of the Jam or their original fans tried this today, they'd most likely break a hip. By that I mean it's a testament to their transcendence through the years!

gazzabification 1 year ago
yeah, but he's not part of the mod revival culture. weller and foxton were part of it.same goes to townshend and marriot, they're mod but not a mod revival lads.bolan now becomes a great glam icon than he would be a mod icon.weller now even described as the MODFATHER which i think foxton better deserved that.

funny cause punk kind of got in the way of the progression of glamrock, shame, i love punk and will always be a punk but it would have been intersting to see how glam would have evolved, not the 90s shit acts but the early lot 70-75, five years aint a long time-wve had punk bands for 33 years now, and its took on all kinds of tangents, which is great and what it was supposed to be about in the first fucking place!!!

'Marc' was a broundbreaking show for many punk/new wave bands. Jis old mate Bowie premiered Heroes on it in 1977. It was one of my favourite prog's.

'Can't dismiss whats gone before... but there's foundations for us to explore'
I think this was the moment Weller cast-off any association with punk music and its tired scene. The Sexs Pistols said 'I wanna Destroy passers by 'caus i wanna be Anarchy'..... Weller says in this 'Whats the point in sayin' Destroy? you'd want a new life for everywhere, All around the world i'v been lookin' for a NEW!'

Weller was just trying to re boot the Mod scene which he loved so much , and this was his coming of age in a sea of labour strikes and punk vs prog. rock turmoil of the late 70 s. x
