All very good except. No respect for Rick and Bruce. Bad form.

You've hit the nail right on the head there

@vincentskinner3250 2 года назад

Completely fella None at all

@arnarne Год назад

True. Very disappointing!

@jordidosnumerosmes8731 Год назад

Weller was a fashion victim of the 80's, his Jam fellas still in it's own Jam post punk way. The soul disco pop Beat surrender was the Style Council awake. Weller become a pop star, the frontman and exbeatle, Peter Gabrielish and who maniac composer of the Jam. Buckler and Foxton just follow him for maintain the band, they whas the Satu Quo of the genuine The Jam of the beginning, Weller was only the primaDonna, the winner at last.

@Metal_Horror 8 месяцев назад

Yep. He reminds me of Morrissey in that way. Ugh

@JoeScottish 3 года назад

The drummer and bass player were called Rick Buckler and Bruce Foxton...... I'll say their names as its obviously beneath Weller to says their names.... they helped him become famous enough so he could do things like form Style Council, the band no-one wanted.....

@paulhayes4937 3 года назад

Its not butler so even you cant bring yourself to say their names

@JoeScottish 3 года назад

@@paulhayes4937 Good catch.....predictive text got me again :)

@goby999 9 дней назад

No, there was a drummer before Buckler. And the first bass player was Weller himself.

@rumone02 3 года назад

Shame he can name steve brookes but cannot bring himself to name rick or bruce?0

@nigelarmitage1732 3 года назад

Yeah, it didn't sound great, to be honest. Maybe he uses their names somewhere else in the interview?

@garymcpherson899 3 года назад

Embarrassing to be honest ... and that’s from a long time fan of every incarnation he’s been involved in.

@oliverrickard9970 3 года назад

"We got a drummer and a bassist" like respect? They're the people who got him in that room!

@nigelarmitage1732 3 года назад

Thinking about this further, I'm sure Steve Brookes is as surprised as anybody about his importance to The Jam, as per PW's comments here and elsewhere (including the recent About The Young Idea doc, where of course he also featured). He probably felt he had a somewhat less significant role during the 77-82 period - i.e. when The Jam released their music, toured the world and were Britain's biggest band. Of course, that's because he wasn't in the band, unlike 'the bassist' and 'the drummer''. Or Bruce and Rick, to use their names!

@garymcpherson899 3 года назад

@@nigelarmitage1732 very nicely summed up. More or less my thoughts on this. Especially after BF guesting on Wake Up The Nation.

@GaryStockton Год назад

Interesting how he says we added "a bass player and a drummer" instead of saying Bruce and Rick's name.

@marineboy1964 2 месяца назад

Paul it takes 3 to tango You could of least mentioned there names Wow i will do it for you Ricky Butler and Bruce Foxton

@gazevanschooselife1207 3 года назад

Weller as done some great stuff and set great styles but I don’t think the Jimmy Saville look is one of his best looks 😮

@fostexfan160 3 года назад

LOL.....Noel Gallagher apparantly refers to him as Victor Meldrew with a suntan

@stevey6867 3 года назад

Funny how he won't mention Bruce or Rick by name? Quite sad really..

@GBPaddling 3 года назад

My immediate thoughts also, sad is what it is.

@arnarne Год назад

Despite his succes he seems quite a bitter person really. It's difficult to understand why.

@jdp5288 Год назад

if you hear the full interview he does mention them several times

@GaryStockton Год назад

I immediately thought that when he said it that way. I have not heard the full interview though.

@likebigg 3 года назад

he’s no respect for the other guys i find that sad

@oliverrickard9970 3 года назад

It's a shame there's no credit to them, as this carries this misconception the jam was only paul.

@hardlines2635 3 года назад

I was looking at him and thinking, I wonder if his mum ever met Jimmy Savile.

@czx68 3 года назад

@@paintingholidayitaly So well said! 👍

@intelligencelimited2708 2 года назад

He mentions the fun he had with them-I don't see any lack of respect. Rick was a bit of a knobhead to him during the making of The Gift, said ' these aren't drum songs' (!), so it goes both ways. I don't think he had much in common with the other two, just how it goes.

@ScragNath 3 года назад

I applauded Paul when he threatened to walk off if the crowd continued to spit in 1978 in Derby. Just disappointed he killed off the Jam. I guess he just wanted to move on.

@hardlines2635 3 года назад

Horrible man, once saw him spit on a picture of Sting. And he looks like Sir Jimmy, hows about that then.

@LordHeath1972 3 года назад

Whenever I hear modern day Paul Weller talking about The Jam my ears suddenly prick up!

@GenialHarryGrout 3 года назад

His comments are so true. Artists don't get or maybe don't want the experience of playing the pubs and clubs in front of a handful of people. Singers today want instant fame from reality TV and most are never heard of again after their 15 minutes of fame

@TheIkaraCult 3 года назад

I dunno about that, the way most aspiring musicians make their money nowadays is playing live, and for every Ed Sheeran there are loads who pay their due and all that and rack up solid loyal fanbases without neccessarily making it big. They've just announced the X Factor is finishing recently so the execs behind it evidently see a change in how things are working.

@mickparker3726 9 месяцев назад

The Jam were a 3 piece not just Weller. He gets the credit but he would of been nothing without Rick and Bruce.

@QQRREE 3 года назад

Really wish you could get them all back together for a chat and hear those stories . They changed so many peoples views to music and would be nice for the fans that have supported them over the years with all the greatest hits after greatest hit albums .

@davidwaterhouse2552 Год назад

But they would have been 'NOTHING' If the Punk Revolution hadn't happened? They would still be playing 'BURT WEEDON' covers at weddings! dx

@QQRREE Год назад

@@davidwaterhouse2552But that is obvious... so many bands jump on the band wagon when a different genre comes along .

Weller inventing and forming the jam was the best thing ever for mankind. Him disbanding the jam was a travesty, but thats another story.

@jonathanhadley2555 3 года назад

He had the balls to finish at the top rather than carry on milking it

@richardbranton7396 3 года назад

Naaa the travesty would be if they got back together,it was " about the young idea" and it's best left where it is...

@stevej061069 3 года назад

No. The 'travesty' would've been carrying on just for the sake of it then just fizzling out. I cannot understand why people are unable to see this.

@richardbranton7396 3 года назад

@@stevej061069 I see it ,of course was pissed when he split them but haven't carried it with me for 39 years and don't want to see a nearly 70 Jam,I'd see a 70yo Muddy waters or Bob Dylan but that's a whole different thing

I was gutted when the jam broke up I was 12 years old didn't really understand what his music stood for but loved there sound at least he left when they where top off there game and not when they fizzled out like most bands still love their music today not keen on his new stuff but the jam I will always like.👌

The Jam were replaced by the likes of Duran Duran, Wham!, Spandau Ballet and bland pop as well as dance music.

One of Britains greatest songwriters ever - The Jam, Style Council, his solo stuff; it's all top-notch gear and did it all without a songwriting partner, all on his lonesome.
