Wellers back catalogue is unquestionable, the Jam were undoubtably one of the finest bands of that particular era. Weller has made his mark on British musical history for sure - but he does look a bit of a twat with his current hairdo admittedly. PS - Can anyone still look cool after 60? Bowie when he was still around maybe. Edited June 3, 2021 by Burndens Bogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the turn of the century, been below par, last few albums just been shite, what good rock stars live To after 60 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in Crawley Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Dreadful. Can just about cope with The Jam, his solo stuff, nope. Also, his fans put me off as well. All that Welllla! rubbish, feathered cuts and acoustic guitar renditions of that's entertainment. Interesting considering his fan base that he's known to be a bit ac/dc - some great tales I've heard of parties in the 80s - looks like his son followed in his old man's footsteps. Stanley Rd, if I never hear that album.again it'll be too soon, seemed it was glued to everyone's stereo in 1994. Anyway, saw him at a concert for Qunicy Jones. The only good thing that I was working on it so we got a corporate box and free booze and food all night so I could disappear in the suite and watch nothing of it. In fact, can't remember much of it to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rudy Posted June 4, 2021 Members Share Posted June 4, 2021 There’s a journalist out there who did an interview with him, huge huge fan, hero of him, when he started the interview for some reason to break the ice he sang “wella wella wella wuh tell me more tell me more” like he was auditioning for Grease. Weller wasn’t best pleased with it 😂 Not sure who the journo was but would love to find out. Like something partridge would do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Style Council were shite though, when, yes, he was up his arse. Stanley Road was ace but nowt good really since then. He'll always be an icon. Please have respect.

Stanley Road is/was a great album but the rest is poo water. What's this respect shite you are on about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Spider Posted June 5, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted June 5, 2021 (edited) The Changing Man is a good song. Stanley road as an album peters out by the end of the second song Other than that, his stuff with The Jam towers above anything he’s done since.

Anyone who saw the Jam gets what all the fuss was about anyone who saw his solo band with Steve Craddock must have been either massively underwhelmed or had never seen a decent band .

Burndens Bogs Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Sweatiest gig i ever went to was seeing The Jam at King Georges Hall Blackburn in 1979 - also one of the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted June 5, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted June 5, 2021 Not a Weller fan at all. Town called Malice and Going underground about the only 2 I don’t mind. Maybe 1 or 2 others have slipped my mind. Never contemplate asking Alexa to play any of his stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
