GREEN DAY FAN: Who’s the old guy?

if you’re a green day fan, do your homework and find out. your guys wouldn’t exist without this guy.

Green Day are garbage.

Green Day Make the best rock. But they have forbears like anyone does!

Paul os a god

IS a god

i like the jam….. i DO NOT like greenday

or lobsters

i have no idea who this guy is

as a teenager in california, i only found out about paul weller after reading interviews of noel gallagher and other ‘britpop’ musicians. after listening to his stuff it was easy to see why he’s so influential to so many groups . great songwriter, deserved resurgence. (wish i could’ve seen the show!)

On your knees, you teenage bastards. Respect must be given.

It’s one of those deals where no one in the UK has barely heard or not at all of the lokes of John Mayer, Steve Miller Band etc.

Paul Weller is almost synonomous with the late 70’s early 80’s mod rebirth (mod from the early 60’s in UK).

If this concert was not in NYC I doubt anyone would have been there.

He does influence a lot of Noel Gallagher’s sung B-Sides for Oasis.

someone here doesn’t know weller..i feel sorry for you. he’s one of the greatest alive. go listen to the jam’s ‘greatest hits’ or his new boxset ‘HIT PARADE’…it saddens me how so many music lovers are totally unaware of someone like him.

that picture is what trent reznor is gunna look like in 20 years.
provided he survives world war III….

I don’t know if I’ve ever hated New York more than I do at this moment. I would’ve killed to see that show.

The joke was at the expense of Green Day fans. I was buying Jam albums when you kids were . . . God, I’m old! I’M SO FUCKING OLD!!

Paul Weller is the most prolific songwriter of his time. He’s a musical genius ! Lucky are the people who’ve witnessed his performances, he’s dynamite !

Lets stop the Generation bashing. Like Townsend passed the torch to Weller so does Weller pass it on… By the way the Tuesday night show was a Religious experience.

Paul Weller is a legend! Long live the Modfather!

Paul Weller is a legend,, The Jam were one of the most important influential bands, the style council pushed musical boundaries,, and his solo work has been prolific and amazing. Most importantly he has written some of the greatest songs of the last 30 years. And great clothes too,,,,

paul weller is one of the most influential british songwriters ever.
putting it in a different light. Paul Weller split up his punk band The Jam after massive success when he was 22 years old. most of us at 22 are still trying to figure out what the hell we want to do with our lives.
listen to ‘this is the modern world’ or ‘in the city’ every band in some way has Paul Weller to thank for his music.

Tuesday night’s show was f*&^% brilliant! I’ve been a major fan since the Jam days. Even my four year old loves Weller! The modern day so called “alterna” bands would be nothing without him.

I’m just amazed that Rolling Stone actually have printed this, they usually totally ignore him,, eg no review of his brilliant last album as is now.

This man is an total legend,, and one of the all time great songwriters!!

will someone write a review of the Tuesday show !!! We’ll be watching the LA gig and we’ve missed the thematic nights in NY. He was amazing at Late Night w/ Conan, don’t you all think ?

“rowdy british ex-pats”. You obviously don’t know what you are talking about. Most of the concert goers had flown in from Britian especially to see Mr. Weller perform old Jam hits that they hadn’t heard live for nigh on 25 years. Yes, there were alot of ex-pats present (including myself), I personally did not meet any thuggish guys from NJ with bad fitting leather jackets.
I’m sure if you had asked around you may have been surprised to find hundreds of professional people present. I know at least one judge, several lawyers, a few doctors, including surgeons, stock brokers/traders, nurses, detectives, a couple of top chefs, several well known musicians, and a couple of designers in attendance. If you think that concert was rowdy, it must be your first Weller gig!
Tickets for mondays concert were going for approximately $750 – $1000.
Mr Weller did not play Jam songs alnight, I believe it was 8 songs, the rest were from the other 25 years. It was a great show. I feel that it was misrepresented by his record company. The show was advertised as Jam night – it wasn’t, less than half of the show was Jam. Luckily, because Paul Weller is such a musical genious, none of us minded.
Did you understand the words of “That’s Entertainment”? If you had grown up when, and where, most of us Brits had – maybe it would be your lifes theme tune too. Not a good write up on your part, and no wonder Weller doesn’t get more space in Rolling stone – if it’s this sort of stuff that we’d have to read.

hmmm. boys and girls. the first two days were horrible. you ask why? because they announced something that didn’t happen: a few jam songs here and few style council songs there. sorry, but even if the record company did something wrong with the ads someone had to communicate that false promise in advance. c’mon i love paul weller but flying couple of hours just to get a set with a few more the jam songs than usual is not a good deal.

The TSC show was what I expected, some new, old ones and gold ones.
The legend on stage had his higher octane energy rolling out the tunes one after the other.
It took Paul an hour+ before he slowed the tempo.

Tickets were available at the theatre day of (promoters/press layaways not taken)

Missed catching names of the cute girl(s) by my side in the crowd Tuesday eve – Music was too good!

if u were at the gig u r a jammy bastard

Music & Lyrics with attitude give it a blast.
Try In the city or All mod cons
Or Our favourite shop, Paul Weller LP, Wild Wood and As is now and then dare do disrespect The Modfather America Wake up your ears !!!!

Can anyone tell me the name of the next to last tune Paul played at the last NYC show (Wed nite)…It was f–kin a rockin tune and it sounded like a cover tune, but not sure. It was in the encore just before he closed the show with Malice. Would appreciate it.

>> TRANSLATE THE SLANG ” JAMMY B^” IF NOT AS BAD AS IT CAN SOUND

THK U

monday show was just fantastic, travelled from uk and worth every penny!!! paul still rules

The 2nd to last song on Monday night was Sunflower. It’s from Wild Wood, Paul’s 2nd solo album. And yes, it was a great show. He didn’t just play “a few extra jam tunes”. The first 40 minutes were all Jam, with more sprinlkled in later. BTW the LA shows were great as well!!!

Barking up the wrong tree

(The) unkindest cut of all
