One of my favourite bands but, as much as I respect Foxton and Buckler, I'm not too sure what they can achieve without Paul Weller.

The Jam without Weller?
I'd love to see The Style Council get back together. E |

I'd say there is not much point to reform without Paul Weller.
No matter how much I like Foxton & Buckler, The Jam is Paul Weller

Quite. "Deliberately intimate" is a nice euphemism!
Based on Foxton's previous songwriting contributions to The Jam, I doubt the prospect of new material is likely to excite too many people...still I suppose he might yet surprise us.

I've always rsated Foxtons songs very highly. He just wasn't prolific like Weller. Great bassist and singer too.

That is something I would actually hate.

I've always loved Smithers-Jones, especially the band version (as opposed to the string version). I assume they'll have a guitarist/singer instead of Weller but haven't yet seen who it will be. |

Well, we can't have that, now can we? I retract my wish. E |

Hopefully so.
I am wondering how Weller will actually not try to stop this use of the name The Jam. I am not so sure he agrees with this reformation.
Any infos on that?

S'ok I wouldn't be forced to listen to them, would I?

"Intimate" being a euphemism for "small and sparcely attended" I guess... The Jam without Weller...? Bad idea, guys, bad idea! |

I wonder if Weller will let them play any of his songs? If not, they'll have a pretty short set list.

A bit like reforming the Jimi Hendrix Experience without Jimi Hendrix.
Maybe they should call it Those Other Two Blokes Out The Jam |

Or The Jam Tarts. As Chopper says their concerts could be brief. It reminds me of when Nigel Tufnell left Spinal Tap and they realised their setlist was down to "a cosy ten minutes." |
