Paul Weller (2)

is a cunt.

I did like The Jam. But the way Weller just cut the other two off and out of his life when he chose to finish the band showed an early indication of what a cunt he could be. Just frozen out like they never even existed.

Then – after the pretentious Style Council – Weller was feted and sucked up to big during the Britpop hype. And, the ‘anti-rock star’ behaved like one. Booze, powder, women and all that. Nothing wrong with that, but the way Weller used to sneer at the Rock ‘N’ Roll lifestyle also shows a hypocritical cunt.

It appears, his monumental ego never came down from this mid 90s adulation. And, even his closest friends weren’t immune from his cunt side.

The link touches on it. But, he does come across as a cunt….

  2. Looks like a raddled old granny these days, with that daft haircut..

    Any one who gives money for someone else to go up the ramp for them is a cunt in my eyes.

  3. Don’t remember much about the Dodger’s. The only band I stuck with was the Fall, who had more fallouts and new weekly members than any musical group and didn’t give a fuck whether they got into the charts or not. Mark E Smith was the boss and whatever he said went. Now he’s pissed up in the great wheelchair drug infected sky with the rest.

      • More likely that prototype from Robocop 2 that removes its helmet to reveal a screaming skull.

    • Dr.Cuntengine. Not your first ever mention of Robocop ; I thusly believe you are a fan. As am I, top 3 movies ever for me… time & place factored-in.

      Anyhoo. There’s a YT link isac WILL NOT allow posted for some bizarro reason. Not today, not 2 years ago.

      But stick ‘Robocop puppet kenny’ in YT search and it’ll show up. Parody done right! Really.

      As for rhe cunted today? I know nothing. I from Barcelona. Link story pretty who cares? though. (no offence Norman). He looks like the cunt from the Full Monty. That’s all I got.

      • (cunt going to the bar ‘for’ him like a butler in the first place is as much a cunt, maybe) .. 🤷

      • Cuntemall, Robocop is in my top three films ever: in no order of preference: Robocop, Aliens, The Thing.
        All out-and-out masterpieces.
        What’s your favourites?

      • I am with you both. Robocop is excellent and a top 5 for me. Paul Veerhoven got the dark humour spot on. Two others that he directed – Total Recall and Starship Troopers – are firm favourites for me. Aliens as well, yes.

    • 1997’s The Game is in my top 3 -instant answer.

      All 4 mentioned by you & Grasshopper(hello!) are here on DVD but I hold a fondness for South Park Bigger, Longer and Uncut.

      I dared mysrlf several times to post ‘The Game, Brokeback Mountain’ & exit, poker-faced. Typed it up, even. But lost my bottle last second. 😄

      Both o’yiz – watch that parody. The boardroom video-wall alone is worth the watch.

      • Excellent picks Cunt Engine.

        Demolition Man and Falling Down too. I recently rewatched Starship Troopers, great stuff.

  9. I’m frightened to remind myself of this shite, incase I won’t be able to rid my mind of it. similar to shit on the shoe.

  12. It would appear that my phone is having a Rosie Jones style spaz this morning. Never mind.
    No wonder Weller’s a cunt. His dad was also one of weapons grade proportions.
    Also the band’s manager, he could never quite understand why the other two members should get paid.
    He was instrumental in his son’s efforts to erase them from memory and they both caused them untold grief for years.
    What a family sized pair of cunts.

    • That’s what stank about it, Field Marshal.

      Weller’s dad was the manager, and he sided with his son on every matter. Even Weller’s sister once remarked that the last time she saw the other Jam members was Christmas 1982. She said it was both sad and awkward, as everyone was in their own corner of the room and not speaking to one another. She didn’t like how Bruce and Rick were suddenly persona non grata for no real reason whatsoever. They didn’t put a foot wrong musically, and they were never pain in the arse let downs, druggies, pissheads or troublemakers, like Brian Jones or Keith Moon. it’s said (especially by the Weller camp) that the Jam split up. The other two had no choice in the matter. They were sacked, by Weller and his biased father.

      It’d be like Sting firing both Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers at the height of the Police’s popularity. Which didn’t happen. Had Sting tried that, Stewart would have kicked his teeth out.

  14. As an avowed leftard, Weller will be hanging on every word of the anally-retentive Dalek’s speech to the nation today.

    To be delivered with all the charisma of a bank’s compliance officer reading out a 30 page risk assessment for a new financial product.

  16. True story, this….

    During his Stanley Road period of re-acclaim, and the height of the Oasis thing. Paul Weller was sort of mates with Noel Gallagher.

    When both were in Weller’s garden having a drink or two, Noel asked Paul if he (Weller) still ‘mattered’. As in was he as relevant now as he was in his Jam days.

    Paul took his shirt off, and began running round the garden. Beating his chest like a demented gorilla, and shouting ‘Weller! Weller! Wellarrrrgh!’ over and over. When he finally stopped, Gallagher said calmly, ‘Fuckin’ ell, mate , I only asked.’

  17. Weller is a cunt.

    He said to the music press, ‘I really don’t give a fuck if I never see Rick Buckler again.’

    Then, Rick Buckler died. Nice one, Paul.🙄

    The way his Jam bandmates were simply discarded was snide. He has never worked with better musicians since. But, it was all that cutting them off stuff. Weller didn’t reply to Christmas cards, talk to them or anything. It’s like they never existed. Even bands who were far bigger (Beatles, Eagles, Floyd, Zeppelin) spoke to each other after they finished. Weller also publicly scorned his former bandmates for their From The Jam band. Bruce and Rick didn’t have the financial cushion that Weller has. They had to still earn money in their late 40s and early 50s, and they were two thirds of an admittedly very good band. So they were entitled to go out and play the songs. And, the thing is, Weller would call his former bandmates doing it ‘Fucking cabaret’. Then he himself is singing Jam songs in his live set.

    Joke is, they never even fell out. like those bigger acts mentioned above. One day, Weller decided he wanted to form a pretentious jazzy soul type band (Style Council) and that the two lads who had helped take him to the very top were suddenly surplus to requirements. Bruce Foxton even pleaded with Weller to take a year off from the band and the Jam could come back recharged. But he didn’t budge, and one of the finest rhythm sections of the New Wave post punk era was discarded without a thought. Imagine Townshend saying to Moon and Entwistle ‘You’re both fired. Fuck off.’ Or Page dropping Jones and Bonham?

    Weller fanboys still say he was ‘brave’ for wrecking the much loved Jam. But it was cold, calculating and rather ruthless.

  18. The Jam were shit and Weller’s a wanker. All their crap going in at number one proves the charts were rigged even back then. What was that band he sang for in the late 90s? They were shit an all, arses licked by ‘Cool Britannia’ in exchange for supporting Blair the cottaging child rapist sacrificer and eater.

    • I think you mean the Style Council in the 80s, WokeUp.

      They were staggeringly pretentious. With records called ‘A Paris EP’ and ‘Cafe Bleu’. They made insipid yuppie bar music like ‘Long Hot Summer’ and ‘You’re The Best Thing’. At least The Jam had some firepower.

      The Style Council’s most gruesome record was ‘Have You Ever Had It Blue’. Dreadful wine bar watered down jazz muzak, with loads of ‘Doo Be Doo’ and ‘Baba Daba Da Bya’ vocal noodling.

      Weller made the Style Council even worse. By letting his Mrs (Dee C Lee) join the band. The Mrs in the group or the workplace is always a no no. Ask the ex-Beatles.

      Weller was solo in the 90s. A lot of Steve Marriott impersonations, and a whole lot of arselicking as the Britpop hype gathered speed.

    • I have to confess that I don’t know any songs by him other than three performed by the Jam – Going Underground, Eton Rifles (which were good) and Town Called Malice (a cover).

      Based on Norman’s amusing description, perhaps I’ve heard other material whilst in a lift somewhere but didn’t notice.

    • If that was a man on fire you know the embers are not far behind 😂

      Far right, Brexit, Iran, his answer is closer to Europe, well that’s convinced me…. Cunt!

    • We should all hope that the dozy cunt stays on as PM.
      He’s in such self-denial that he can’t see that the electorate fucking hate him & that won’t change no matter what, so it’ll be a fucking Corbyn-style kicking for Labour at the next GE.

      • He’s not serving parliament or us. He has been very honest about this. He stated it clearly to Emily Mateless, who responded with an approving smile. He is, as he said, more interested in Davos, and serving the WEF. Part of his function in that role is to have a thick skin and to not care about what the public thinks of him. In private they will be putting a reassuring hand on his shoulder, and will give him a warm smile. “We know it’s hard. You’re doing really well. It’ll all be worth it, we promise.”

        As long as you think democracy is working or even real, you are not seeing the matrix.

  20. And, the Weller fanboys who trumpet that their hero has never sold out…

    Is that the backing track from ‘Taxman’ rip off ‘Start!’ I hear on Sainsbury’s commercials?

    And, it’s his ex-Jam bandmates playing on it. Foxton made that track with his bass playing. But, I bet he or Rick’s family gets fuck all royalties from the Sainsbury’s bonanza.

    Not sold out, my arse.

  21. Lead singers often are massively egotistical and embarrassing cunts. I suppose it goes with the territory. I was a fan of The Verve back in the day, but seeing old interviews now with Ashcroft are excruciating. Three and then four talented enough, quiet lads fronted by a total bellend, although he and they did good work together for the time.

    It might have helped the Beatles to have two leaders in effect, but four ordinary lads who for a long time (ten years?) stuck together. Perhaps the right blend of personality types to make it work and considering how good they were and on top of the world for such a long time, decidedly humble. The egos these days on z listers who have achieved so little illustrates the point.

    I see he is wearing that flag on his lapel in the header pic. Remember when all the regime approved numpties were boycotting South Africa in the 70s and 80s? For what exactly? Because a superior white elite were running an otherwise backward country very well, despite the natives. End Apartheid! Why would you not live apart in a country like that? Only if you’re a low-IQ cunt with silly ideas, as the evidence of majority rule since shows all too clearly.

    Tony Blair was clearly meant to be the lead singer in a band, but lacking musical talent, settled for a career in the realm of show biz for ugly people. Shame for us really, although was he any worse than the alternatives? Y fronts, ERM blundering Euro fanatic, Major, followed by Bumder Hague and whoever the Lib Dums had at the time. Not really. And everybody who has followed has been complete shite. Prove me wrong.

    Having said that, I think painters make better political leaders.

  22. I’m not a Weller fan particularly, but I liked The Jam amongst many other bands.
    However, it’s very clear from both his actions with his old band mates & the linked excerpts from that book, that Weller is a massive egotistical cunt.
    Doubtless, his offering people out antic was saved for those he knew wouldn’t take him up on it, or the ones he thought he could slap around.

    Fucking typical rich leftie-leaning knob.

  23. We all have our choices in music, but what riles me more is the inflection that occurs in people’s speech. We wouldn’t know on here, of which there are bound to be some of you, mainly the young that have this annoying rising voice problem at the end of a sentence. It mostly came from hamshankland and parts of Australia.
