That sounds like the most accurate headstone inscription - but they officially loved US Soul Music, as one of their musical influences. I guess most people into the Jam, regardless of their generation, understand why The Jam couldn't cope with the States ( and vice-versa).
He doesn’t get enough credit. I think it’s because his laid back drumming style makes him seem bored playing. Watch him playing and he’s one of the most effortless drummers ever!
Paul Cook had/has a steady, powerful beat, and I'd say mainly ''informed'' by NEU's Klaus Dinger - Cookie has his place on the left of the podium; Rat Scabies mastered the chaotic thunder, getting it right and safe, even if his toms were filled with nitroglycerin and cymbals literally sparkled under a surmounting tidal wave of hits. But like the group he was in, he often wittily used comedy for an even better result. Rat is on the podium too, but not on the middle block. Rick Buckler stood out for his incredibly dynamic pulse, varied and diverse, yet strictly atuned with Foxton's Motownish virtuoso-bassman grooves, even highlighting the expression behind Weller's analytical social essays. That's how i understand your 4-word accurate one-liner. The best.
Real name Paul Richard Buckler. And Paul’s real name is John William Weller. I only just found that out when my sister recently met “Rick” Buckler, who lives in her village near Woking.
..who had High Powers taking care of business for them, a vast, thick web of managerial ''skills'' that would turn a worldwide psyops. Just like Frankfurt wished upon a star... Not the case of The Jam. It's true-grit British Social-Realism versus 'the 'That's entertainment'' façade (and i don't mean their eponymous song). The Jam were for real. See if you can answer this : if the B's played America in August 66, being not only their farewell to live gigs but also the promotional tour that coincided with the release of their current new album ''Revolver'', why didn't they play any songs from it during that last American touring leg? Is this the sign of an autonomous, organic ''band''? Give me the Monkees any time!
Whem I met Bruce he looked at my young srar struck face and said " we werent the Beatles" nice modest bloke . On my deleted copy of our story rick in particular was very bitter. Great band . This was a rare song that actually gave sone credit to rick and Bruce
Nice find - never seen this clip before. I was always frustrated that Weller lacked the sharp social comment in interviews that was in his songs and lyrics. The questions asked by Tom Snyder were ripe for some scorching comment but Weller did a good impression of Beavis and Butthead instead. I'm a big fan of the Jam and Paul's solo stuff but I say it as it is.
imagine a scenario where PW is asked to explain the context of every song he's written..does ANY artist do that !?! how do u explain Saturdays kids or Thats Entertaiment to an American..Weller lets the listener decide the message literally letting the music do the talking..Weller later regretted getting political with TSC anyway..spokesman of a generation is a very unfair label.
Rick Bucklers real name is Paul Richard Buckler. I only just found this out when my sister met him recently. He lives in the same village as my sister near Woking. And Paul’s real name is John William Weller. For some strange reason his parents started calling him Paul. 🤔
1:44-2:04: For me, an American, I think the US radio stations (at least before the consolidation in the 90s and after) was just a vast and diverse wild west, with one city or region into one music genre while the city over is into an entirely different group or style. See stuff like Grunge/garage rock (Seattle-Washington), Paisley Underground (Southern California), CBGB, college rock (Athens, Georgia), etc...
England is a much smaller and more homogenous market than the US, for decades they only had essentially one radio station. BBC. Meanwhile they had two national music weeklies giving tons of bands non-stop attention, interviews, hype, etc. In America you have to love touring and have a couple bona fide hit songs. There will not be a ton of centralized press attention.
Reminds me of the Spinal Tap clip where Tap talk to The Colonel on the Air Force Base, amicable but oceans between them, even down to the jarring inappropriate song that follows, and getting cut short.
Listen Moon… Foxton’s mod mullet was one of the best things about the Jam.. in this clip you can clearly see him “adjusting” it’s magnificence.. he may even be stroking it, like a Bond villain strokes a cat..a man that knows his own haircut knows his own mind..
Adam & The Ants the next Beatles :D What an unnecessarily awkward interview and one that probably didn't endear them to the American audience. I expected to roll my eyes at the typical inane questions interviewers come out with but I thought the questions were far better than the answers given.
Just an another average interviewer who couldn't recognize extraordinary talent, even when they were two feet away from him. The live performance proves the point.
Stop your stupid BS. The interviewer asks intelligent , straight forward, good questions and gets weak responses. I love the Jam, and the performance of Funeral Pyre is wonderful. But Weller, Buckler, and Foxton are not so good in the interview segment.
The Jam and the USA. Never an easy mix.

Was 14 and going to an all-boys catholic school in 9th Ward New Orleans; stayed up on a school night to watch it...
i saw them in NYC the night before this show, i still have a cassette of it. taped this on my old beta machine, fuck i'm getting old
+Dave Furgess How did they go down? The U.S. and U.K. sound was quite different. The mainstream of course. I know about CBGB's and all that.
Rick buckler, top drummer.
Really struck me how brilliant he was. That drumming was absolutely brilliant to see. Remembering Tube Station also - WoW!!
I was at a concert when bruce jump off the stage and started fighting someone in the crowd 😅🤣

The Jam were one of the best bands since The Beatles...

You ARE a monkey!@@karllux-d6g
Rick Bucker was a brilliant drummer.
We feast on flesh and drink on blood
Live by fear and despise love in a crisis
(What with today's high prices)
Still true perhaps more than ever
I remember this. Was here when it first aired. Had just moved here from the UK. Paul has really improved in terms of doing PR.
Buckler at his best. Also, one of The Jam's best.
Agree
Yeah always great to see vintage footage of the holy trinity. And what a barnstorming version of funeral pyre!
@@colingeddes2172 ENOUGH with the blasphemous talk fool
@@oreally8605 oh sorry preacher man.
Cracking video. Loved the jam since 1977, And to quote the late John Weller,s introduction ( the best fucking band in the world )
never seen this. more please.
Oooo nice one, never seen this on any boxset or dvd before. Brilliant!
Rick's shirt brilliant
That was smart
This is a real find nice one ace
Rather splendid.
Brilliant 🤗
Some good questions from the interviewer, i think the boys were expecting the usual inane shit bands get asked.
Love Paul Weller always pissed off 😂
What a killer song.Buckler always gets the engine room burning.
Whem I met Bruce he looked at my young srar struck face and said " we werent the Beatles" nice modest bloke . On my deleted copy of our story rick in particular was very bitter. Great band . This was a rare song that actually gave sone credit to rick and Bruce
Brilliant Quality !!! Thanks !!
Great find man.
Funeral Pyre=Brilliant!!
Smoking during a TV interview . . . those were the salad days . . .
Fucking excellent!!!!!!!! 🙏🎶🙏
Damn...The Jam on Tom Snyder

He expresses himself through his music. Otherwise he wouldn't be the amazing songwriter that is.
If it weren't for Paul's massive ego you'd still have the Jam.

CANT STAND THE BEATLES BUT LOVE THE JAM ❤
Couldn’t give a shite about America.. and The Jam were my band, because of it ✊🏻

The best band ever pure class 👏
suberb upload, cheers mate
young paul weller is so much like a young nicholas lyndhurst
He just looks dead young, I'm mean really, especially compared to now, get what you mean though 🍼
Yeh, although they both look dead old now, that's life I guess.
i doubt he will appreciate that comment😂

Paul could have been a multi millionaire by now if he stuck with the Jam ten more years. Rich as Noel gallagher
Who gives a Flying F-ck? Noel Gallagher is a hack who appeals to the stupid British public. Paul is a genius.
He is a multi millionaire!
Poor Bruce. Always had such hideous hair.
Unfortunately I can't disagree,it was the same style for years
@@johnmscott4556 Still is
Listen Moon… Foxton’s mod mullet was one of the best things about the Jam.. in this clip you can clearly see him “adjusting” it’s magnificence.. he may even be stroking it, like a Bond villain strokes a cat..a man that knows his own haircut knows his own mind..
Poor stupid ass Brits, still obsessing about trivialities like hair cuts, as their country goes to s**t.
Mr Weller during his first hours of Jetlag...
hay qua
qua hay
わしは、来年の１月に六本木へポールウェラーを見に行く‼️
Brilliant drumming, great band ruined by Paul wellers ego....such a shame.
💯
Can you spare a cigarette?
great band...dumb questions.
@ProjectBlue true

The Jam: Great songs but painful to listen to in interviews .
Just an another average interviewer who couldn't recognize extraordinary talent, even when they were two feet away from him. The live performance proves the point.
Stop your stupid BS. The interviewer asks intelligent , straight forward, good questions and gets weak responses. I love the Jam, and the performance of Funeral Pyre is wonderful. But Weller, Buckler, and Foxton are not so good in the interview segment.
Not sure interviewer , understood the accents. Wonder if Americans understand working class English accents.
Not remotely, I would have been lost without lyrics sheets on all my Jam LP's.
People with brains understand. 🧠 Yeah everyone from America is dull and thick- I think not.
weller marxist then marxist now..fool

Best 3 piece ever !
*Only a nation of halfwits like the US compares British bands to The Beatles*
