From the archives, rock legend Paul Weller (The Jam, The Style Council) speaks to Noise11.com's Paul Cashmere. Australian music news and interviews channel
I can’t help admiring this man, though I have not kept up with his work for many years. But he always strikes me as a sincere bloke. Whenever I have seen him ‘live’ there can be no doubt about his love of music and his massive talent.
he says a lot about that time at an intimate level. " A lot of love " going on then (The Jam time ) listen again. Great interview. Looking forward to Halifax. Hope Bradford goes well tonight Weller.
from the 2010 album Wake up the Nation that they were talking about,Bruce Foxton actually collaborated with Paul on two of the songs(they bumped into each other at 2006 Who gig in London,chatted for 10 minutes and finishing with an embrace and that's how it all started)."It came about because we had both lost loved ones last year," as Paul Weller said in an interview in 2010 . "Bruce lost his wife at the early part of the year, and I lost my dad, and it opened up a bit of a dialogue, and it seemed like a nice thing to do at the time. In fact, it was a wonderful thing." and Bruce joined Paul on stage including a fund raising one in Woking for the youth club for some of his live shows.That re-acquaintance has continued and from rumours we're hearing,Bruce may be on PW's next album.I think the warmth & respect between Paul and Bruce has always been there just that Bruce took it really badly when The Jam split up and it took him ages to come to terms with it whereas with Rick,there's an absolute coldness between him and Paul ,not to reform The Jam but having no sort of a friendly speaking relationship between them is a shame especially now as all of them are in their 60s
@@philippepalmer2968 I think it would be lovely for all three to be in the same room together and talking. They won't ever reform, and to be honest, I think many old fans wouldn't want that either as it wouldn't be the same. Guys in their 60's now singing about youth and change just wouldn't work. I, and sure many old fans who saw the band live just want to keep those fond memories of them live as they were special. The last time I saw them was as Going Underground was about to come out and they were rocking (all three of them made that unique sound). I never bought a STC or solo record but have all the respect for Weller playing his own stuff, just never did anything for me personally. Good, good times for music in the late 70's with all that Punk/New Wave.
Better get your wham & Bros records out then, the fact he sells his tours out each time has got to stand for something , not everyone can have your exquisite taste anyway ……
that was a brilliant interview, I don't think I've seen Weller so relaxed, smiling and totally at ease..... credit to Paul Cashmere with this one 👋

good interview by dartanian

Weller is an English legend.
Interview must be around 2011 ?
chalkboard says 2009
as does his hair
Weller's doing well here with some of this guys questions.... jesus!
That band (we), those members - strange how Weller can't even come to even mention that period with what he would be very little today, sad.

People don't know his music today.
The songs are poor cloaked by the mod image.
It's just not a good catalogue of songs.

In your (pathetic) opinion
Spoof interviewer.
What does that even mean?
Sarcastic. Micky taker.
@@melsagelord3991You’re not very bright, are you?
Bruce & Rick are still in top fourm- Paul not so much. Paul must be absolutely bored with all the interviews. After 40 years man..
What r u talking about ? Rick doesn’t even play... foxtons plays in his own jam cover band and weller has number one albums
