No mate this is pre Britpop. Weller did brilliantly during the mid 90s Britpop era with band's like Oasis etc citing his influence. The early 90s - 90-94 were tougher for Weller.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑11 Sep 2019, 12:49pmMaybe re. cleaning up.

You're right—for no good reason I thought of Britpop starting in 1990. Brain glitch.Marky Dread wrote: ↑11 Sep 2019, 1:14pmNo mate this is pre Britpop.

That would explain the 34 different Jam greatest hits comps.Heston wrote: ↑11 Sep 2019, 1:12pmTrue mate. I've heard he has struggled financially recently though, he sold the publishing for his Jam stuff apparently. I think that's the reason they keep popping up in adverts recently. He has about 34 kids to support, maybe that's why he's skint.Marky Dread wrote: ↑11 Sep 2019, 12:53pmWasn't short of money though mate.Heston wrote: ↑11 Sep 2019, 12:30pmHe's a stubborn bugger as well. His career hit the doldrums in the early 90s and he was playing very small clubs. He could have cleaned up with The Jam back then but resisted.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑11 Sep 2019, 10:50amHeh, I'm suggesting he's idealistic; you're saying he's just happily loaded.

Definitely bound to be more bands. What I'm saying is Weller has no need to retread former glories. Sure if he reformed The Jam they would make a lot of money. I don't think he's friends with Rick Buckler though so that wouldn't help. Weller makes plenty from his own solo career and still plays some Jam tunes live. It's not like many others who have reformed to pay off mortgages and kids college fees etc. I don't blame any old band from reforming and making money as it makes good financial sense. If Paul Weller wasn't making money from his very successful solo career where his shows sell out etc then maybe the lure would be different.

One thing I've learned here is if you can't keep up, keep out.

I feel so ashamed after wasting all that money on an alto ukulele.
