  • gem archer you legend

  • Still great after all these years. Lovely, soulful rock and roll - a la Small Faces, Beatles, Kinks, Who etc. I don't think he's a copycat, he just holds a torch for some of the best music ever made

  • @drutgat2 Except he hasn't. Weller's look was always borne out of mod. The Beatles were a different bag altogether. Of course this tune is a rip-off/homage to Taxman, but to base a criticism of his entire work on it is a mistake. After all, the Beatles, the Stones et al completely 'ripped off' the rhythm and blues and early soul output of America.

  • Eton Rifles! Eton Rifles!

  • It's a homage to that period dickweed!

  • Pauls voice is shot here

  • @nicholasjohnlennon 52 is not old!!

  • Adding to ripping off The Beatles' bass line, rhythm guitar, lead break and guitars from 'Taxman' and the whole 'Revolver' period, it is interesting to observe that Weller and Co. have also appropriated the look of the 1966 Fabs. No imagination.

  • gem archer is fucking cool

  • @jonnytheoasisfan Ahahahha they are not Japanese, but they look like :D

  • Gem bring back to Weller the VoxAC30 sound...and it's amazing...

    I love Cradock, he is the man, but I would like to have Archer for a period (more than a gig) with Weller...

  • why is he playing with archer instead of cradock?
