jamiemaher85 Posted February 19, 2007 Report Posted February 19, 2007 The Jam are reforming for a tour in May (though without Paul Weller), it will be the first time they have performed in any form for 25 years. Would love it if they fully reformed at one point, but this tour will be awesome too. Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckley are both incredible musicians and this would well be worth going to. I can't go as im going to be in Thialand but still... LINK- http://www.nme.com/news/the-jam/26537 Quote
MikeO Posted February 19, 2007 Report Posted February 19, 2007 Dragged up a few miles from Woking, saw The Jam in their very early days and hed a pint or two with Bruce Foxton on one occasion. However..The Jam without Paul Weller is not The Jam at all IMHO. Bit like a bacon sandwich without the bacon. Quote
Romey 1878 Posted February 19, 2007 Report Posted February 19, 2007 It's a bit pointless without the main man though isnt it really? Most people only like the Jam because of Weller Quote
Dunny the Blue Posted February 19, 2007 Report Posted February 19, 2007 Showing my ignorance here but is Weller the front man? Quote
Dunny the Blue Posted February 19, 2007 Report Posted February 19, 2007 Right, with ya now. I do kno who the Jam are and i like them, just dont kno that much about them. I'm kinda just catchin up on the whole 70's - 80's music revival. Quote
jamiemaher85 Posted February 20, 2007 Author Report Posted February 20, 2007 still think it would be worth going to see. thoough just think your not going to see the jam, because your not seeing the jam. but to see the two of them perform would still be good. if i was in the country i would defo go, im a massive jam fan and to see them in any form would be good because i wasn't around when they first where.

MikeO Posted February 20, 2007 Report Posted February 20, 2007 Short claim to fame time. When I was about 15/16 I (briefly) played rhythm guitar in a band called Smart Alec. Due to the fact that I was more interested in girls and drink (and not a great guitarist either) I was replaced by a guy called Ed Bazalgette who shortly after left with Howard Smith (drums) to become half of The Vapors, who were then "discovered" and managed by Bruce Foxton. Massive hit with "Turning Japanese" and a fair amount of success (mostly overseas) followed. So I was nearly famous . Quote
Dunny the Blue Posted February 20, 2007 Report Posted February 20, 2007 Can I almost have your autograph Mike? Quote
MikeO Posted February 20, 2007 Report Posted February 20, 2007 (edited) Can I almost have your autograph Mike? Form an orderly queue and I'll get to you as soon as I can (almost). Edited February 20, 2007 by MikeO Quote
