- Paul Weller Interview. Paul's thoughts on reforming Quo and plays 'In My Chair' @statusquocom @PaulWellerHQ @thejam3552 #statusquo #thejam #paulweller
The Modfather. Remember each time we heard that The Jam was going to release a new single/album couldn’t be more excited. A great band, and great to see him honouring Quo. Paul still going strong. Think he wrote Tube Station when he was 19. A mature song from a young rebel.
“Just because it’s simple it doesn’t mean it’s easy… “
F. Rossi.
Apparently, cause Weller plays that simple riff wrong here.
Rocking All Over the World
Lovely-I can remember watching "the Quo" on TOTP playing Dustpipe and later In my chair and loving it-and then learning to play In my chair in the first band I played in-simple but so effective.Still sounds good to day and I still bash it out when I'm messing around.
'Pictures of Matchstalk /men' is (a) nothing like the 'usual' Quo and (b) utterly mind melding!
Paul Weller played at the 2005 Guilfest festival in Guildford, along with Status Quo.
When buying the festival t-shirt I was told the reason Paul Weller is missing from the t-shirt was that he was selling his own and didn't want to be on it.
Due to hearing this I skipped seeing his set that Saturday night and saw whoever was on the second stage.
No idea if that reason was true or not but I do have the t-shirt still and where Paul's name should be is a gap.
Very good musician though.
Weller was really good friends with the Quo. They lent him loads of gear when he was starting out, some they never got back. But they really didn't care. Even though they asked for it. I think at the time , mods were not rock. But music is music.
The idea of Paul Weller waxing lyrically about Status Quo while he was in The Jam would have been unthinkable. Very revealing interview.
We still have a Rick and a Bruce, Paul.
00:00 - 00:15 - The Jam & Paul Weller summarised in 15 seconds
This is IT!! :)
Quo’s music was very complex, not just the 12 bar boogie. Rick Parfitt was a massively underrated rhythm guitarist, open tunings on songs such as Mystery Song and Rain, two of his finest in my opinion. Weller knows the script.

Shame they were/are so boring and dated.
@@hyena131 Music isn’t for you Princess, you have no concept of it. The patterns of melody, rhythm, harmony, tempo/dynamics, and timbre combined to create repetition, variation and contrast. I wouldn’t enter into any discussions about it, with anyone. You’ll make a fool of yourself.

Thanks for that clarification, grandma. Very helpful and enlightening 🤣😂🤣
But it still doesn't alter the cold hard fact that stateless ho were/are so dated and boring. And the proof was in the pudding decades ago when Radio 1 axed them and relegated them to Radio 2. And the tragic icing on the cake is when the band and Rossi pouted, stamped their tiny feet and instigated legal proceedings against the BBC. Sad old men with no dignity or humility who can't admit they're sad old men.
But it made me chuckle:) Give 2023 a bash, old dear. It won't bite!
@@hyena131 It’s Fandango too. 🤡
@grandango
Thanks, grandma:)
first band I saw too
Clearly there's a subtext from the interviewer regarding The Jam. The deliberate self-destruction of an act whilst at the top of its game commercially & artistically was a very unusual thing to have done; strange to realize that its enigma has become the stand-out aspect of his pop music career, eclipsing even the good music he made. I suspect he did it for the wrong reasons, i.e. thinking he was bigger than the act, etc., but regardless of the motivation, it took a bold decision to walk away from position that The Jam was in in 1982. Not a bad thing to be remembered for.
Loved the jam they was my life , but Weller now I no go out my front door to c him.
@fred freddy But don’t you think it was rather weird that what Weller said was his reason for splitting up The Jam when they were at the top, he never did with the TSC ?
He carried on to long with them until they began to lose fans, singles didn’t chart, concerts weren’t selling out so eventually
their record company dropped them.
There’s no getting away from it that Paul Weller is a very talented musician, but he is also a very lucky one to say the least that he managed to get his career back on track with his solo work.
Paul Weller only walked out on his band because Steve Marriott did it to Small Faces first. Hasn't had an original idea in his f-ing life 🙄
@@RollrightKnights lol
Bless him getting upset about Rick there, he knew him as a kid
1:04 Am I missing something? When was this interview? We don't have Rick or Alan unless the questioner is referring to any random Rick or Alan.
This interview was taken from the Hello Quo documentary from 2012-2013. Rick sadly died in 2016 and Alan in 2021.
Cheers@@chrisnott6146
thing is it doesnt get more simple than thats entertainment lol, handbags girls,,,,handbags
Weller’s calmer and nicer since he stopped drinking. I liked angry, pissed Weller who was rude to, and about, everyone.
We all grow up eventually.
Stopped drinking , but taking up smoking weed by the looks of it.
whilst F Rossi has gone rude , arrogant and disrepectful
sound bloke
status quo have been underrated for too long. They have been going since 1962 and have been a great live act for most of that time
Wig??
Maybe who the fuck cares nowadays
no I don't think so
It should be a Gsharp not a G
Wrong, it’s in E
@@jamiewatts5131 I know it is in E, but the G he plays should be a Gsharp. Major third, because the song is in myxolydian.
Yeah ... But this goes up to 11 . 😜
Yes it's a G# (although I prefer Aflat), and in the original recordings it's slurred up from the G, giving a very definite feel to the song. One of my favourite early Quo songs. I had all the albums and learned to play guitar by playing along. I used to be able to play the solo to "Fine, Fine, Fine", but haven't tried it for years!
@@ParaBellum2024 The major third is essential to the quo sound
Quo blow Weller out of the water. Quo will live on forever while Weller will be well forgotten.
You're living in dream world 🙄
Weller forgotten😂 dream on mate
Mature people can appreciate Status Quo AND Paul Weller. We are fortunate to have their music.
Stupid comment.
