paul weller- interview + tin soldier jonathan ross 1991

[Rossco039]

As harsh as this sounds, I don't mean any offence.

He kinda looks like Gary Neville here...

[GrungeRockabilly]

He seems like such a nice bloke...

[indydaisy1]

He rejected an O.B.E well done mate what a protest to the shit that go's on in this country.

[mad4mtl]

What's up with the crucifix? I have always assumed he would be "non-religious."

[jonnytheoasisfan]

@mad4mtl It's nice symbol. but few of his songs are some things about god etc. maybe he believes theres one?

Or he just appreciates.

[babyshambler]

Steve White really is unique. What a drummer.

[forestfan3]

where do I find those shoes

[hamoodi332]

@forestfan3 Can get them from quite a few places, they're known as "Jam shoes".

[gordonw01]

He looks like Lloyd from Dumb+Dumber with that shocking bowl cut hehe.

[razoodocks]

Weller squeezes more wit and insight into a single sentence than most pop musicians do in their whole speaking lives.

[tomasz2011]

Interesting concept ...'Mod as a religion'.

Mod is not a religion or a cult its a subculture.

I lived it for many years and was fortunate to gain an understanding of what it was REALLY about. Its about more than just fashion and scooters its a political statement.

[ModfathersGunMoll]

This was a nice clip...I loved his shoes and his Mod statement! Rock on, Weller!

[eturfrey]

Nice tribute to Steve marriott who died just a few weeks before this. Rock on Steve.

[spitefulload]

shocking haircut - reminds me of early Blackadder

[forestfan3]

@spitefulload  hahahaha yeah

[Jefflowe22]

love his shoes!

[RahenyBohs]

paul weller didnt want his song to be used in a jeans ad but was fully willing to have 'town called malice' used in the movie 'billy elliot' hypocrit!

[MegaWellerfan]

i will take it you did not listen when he said " i dont know how much say a group has in these things " that is your answer there

[Wilthomer66]

Why? "Billy Elliot" is a great film framing the miner's strike which Weller was in favor of! As opposed to jeans made in Egypt by child labor.

[tepporocks]

Great interview!

And no, I don't find Paul to be uncomfortable in this clip. Not compared to others I've seen.

Wossy just has a knack for getting along with anyone, and even old Wellaaah is no exception.

Incidentally, I'm always amazed by how Paul's voice has always sounded like a middle-aged blues man.

Even when he was in his 20's!

It's a bit like a cross between Stevie Winwood and Eric Clapton, I suppose.

Not a bad thing!

[yeovil50]

One thing strikes me here is how uneasy Paul is. However probably thinking "how the f**k are you to question me"...The man is class..

[PatriciaRosaViola]

nice one. thanks gordywilson :)
