The Modfather's back with one of his most eclectic listens yet. How did new album 'Saturns Patterns' end up channelling acid-psych, Krautrock and jazz? We asked him, hearing about collaborations with younger acts like Syd Arthur in the process.

Paul Weller is made of granite. He almost smiled here, did you see that?
He's great, I love how he gets on with it.
I heard that he once angrily confronted a record company guy that he had a problem with by saying "don't fuck with me - I'm from Woking!". Well, if that doesn't scare you, what will?
I'm not an obsession fixated fan but Weller deserves heaps of respect not only for his sublime songwriting and guitar playing but also for his dignity and low-profile attitude over the years. Being a Londoner he could rant and rave about how the city has changed but he lets his music do the talking. Those first few albums are classics but even the stuff 10 and 15 years down the line was worthy.
Weller is`nt actually a Londoner he hails from Woking about 25 miles from the city.
mediastarguest He’s left wing btw
What has Weller being left wing got to do with anything?
Yep
He’s from Woking Surrey
A great evolving artist but the jam for me were awesome
I was and still a big Jam fan , Paul is the Mod father, very talented and modest with . I love to see him play with Bruce & Rick but respect him for his decision not to , he looks forward not back , the songs will live for ever
We still have From the Jam 👍
totally agree , older i get mor eclectic my tastes are... regardless of style etc if its good its good simple as that
Such a consistently humble man. 🌹
Like a grey fox, still handsome.
....still playing shit music
@@revol148
The Jam.... Shit? Really?
New album's great!
Love Paul Weller ❤️
I love you Paul!
Wise man !
You called? How can I help?
Paul Weller m8 l simply adore the tracks. That's Entertainment and The Butterfly Collector. 1word 2 decriv both of those tracks. Ace. From Paul Eyles from Portsmouth
How does he still look so good??
Tahsin Sabah it’s the hair, look at him now, since this year, his hair is shorter and he looks much older
He's made pretty good music and done that for a long time so kudos to him.
He certainly has, but the jam was his main legacy. The greatest band that ever existed. Style council were good for a couple of years and hes done some great solo albums and some not so great. But the jam were just majestic.
Paul is a Big Music Soul. Big Music Souls listen to all kinds of music.
some people overtime have been big music souls, like Ray Charles, Chet Atkins, Glen Campbell and more.
I'm absolutely sure that he came into my workplace today. If he lives in the Paddington area, then I know for sure it was him. I was too scared to ask because he's a legend!
what is your workplace sorry if I ask :)
Probably macdonalds
Malinda S Do I know you? And no I don't work there but I have done in the past and I'm not ashamed of it either. I would rather do that than take handouts from the government. By the way, it's McDonald's without an a and with an apostrophe between the d and s. Have a great day :)
Lol it was just a passing comment. No need for the lecture though 👌
so you would rather work in a Corporation of death that causes mass deforestation and is responsible for the death of 67,000 cows per day than take money printed from thin air through fractional reserve banking...you have either very strange morals or you are a brainwashed zombie thinking wage-slavery is aspirational
We all were Paul.
Get what he means about the type of music you listen to as you get older, I was 13 when I first started listening to the jam and that kind of genre of music, I'm 53 now, and I listen to, mellow, soft rock, some past folk, etc, not deliberately, but I just simply like it now, always listen to the jam though, whatever happens.
The Style Councile, my favorite period.
I'm from the same area
yes
❤❤
Absolute 'down to earth' legend. A million miles away from all the bullshit.
I'm an American from Chicago and when I read the comments I notice a lot of negativity toward Paul...Is it a British thing..? I am just curious...We love him in America...
Love the Jam and Weller in California also
Brad Hill hes our springsteen, we luv him.
I didn't realise he was that well known, let alone liked, in the US. That's good.
The Brits that do like him REALLY like him, and when the Jam were in full flow (c. 1980) the band's fans treated him like God, which almost put me off the guy . . . almost.
Instead it put me off the sycophants.
He's written some shit here and there, sure, but also some utter classics.
heard he was doing the Superbowl next year - fingers crossed.
It's called "internet balls." People who lack balls in real-life make up for it on the internet.
in a 3 minute interview he says the word ''really'' ,10 times.
really? yes-thats the word! 10 times! lol
anarcho vegan so what
Its called groing up and coming to your senses 😊😜🤭😴
Sid Authur ?, I guess they never made it to the big time as I still haven't heard of them.
Really!
Thought Paul was saying siddhartha
I love the guy but its a little sad to see him as an oldie, where have all the years gone.
im glad he wont reunite the jam now, best left as youthful memories.
+bobst657
the years have gone making some great records.... nothing sad about it, if anything it should be joyful still seeing him at it. One of Britains greatest songwriters up there with Lennon/McCartney, Bowie etc. - in my humble opinion......
how many others have had such a career? not many. Celebrate it & enjoy the music.
He looks awful age has not been kind too him but I guess drugs smoking and drinking have done that not not into his solo stuff sounds shite too me he's had his day with the jam
+VC1 he's not that good handful good songs if that the rest is just album fillers Very overrated as a songwriter he just copied from other 60s bands
+sid snot
Trite.

So basically you make comments to insult people. Well done.
I suppose you have to amuse yourself somehow.
My 60's Mod mum likes Paul's music, not so much the jam, although she likes some of their music, more his post Jam stuff.
Labels matter more when you're young.
+tzm rbe Like Weller said in When You;re Young " It's got you in its grip before you're born,It's done with the use of a dice and a board, they let you think you're king but you're really a pawn". Hes far from being illumanti, if he was that clued up when he was young. Maybe you think cos one of his albums was call Illumination, Its funny you keep taking down my posts every-time I challenge you. Are you unable to back up what you say.
weller also wrote Eton Rifles and sent his kids to private school so i hardly thin k that is a defence katoness Anyone who has a career with widespread media coverage as he has done has to tow the illuminati line-or they dont get the coverage
I like the lyric form When You're Young "The world is your oyster, but your future's a clam". Weller and Morrissey are the two best living British songwriters for me.
really
I loved the Jam as a teenager but since I heard Paul really talk down George Michael in a 90's radio interview I cannot take him seriously anymore.
He has been fairly spiteful towards some people in his time, he doesn't really like it when people do it back though. He seems pretty chilled nowadays, bless him. Some parts of his career have been genius.
Mmm, what can i say?...Heavy smoking is not good for skin.
veilofreality for real
I love really craggy old people... looks excellent.
Paul Weller, Illuminati? Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha... that's one of the best I've heard! Put your tinfoil hat back on fellas and enjoy his music.
THIS. You're either a good musician or you're not.
Period.
Done.
yea obvuioiusly yeam unless you are learning or not very good or whatver
Who else thinks Paul sounds like Eric Clapton
Paul is starting to look a little frail. Age sucks
It is noticeable that since the highs of the (rightly) praised Stanley Road, Weller started believing his own press, being heralded as the Modfather, hanging out with all the young turks and started with this whole "man" rubbish. Heavy Soul being played live at the Southbank - trying to emulate The Beatles. Ever since then he's begun a slow and inevitable decline. And it pains me to say it as a fan since 77 through all his changes. But maybe he needs to drop the sycophants.
Paul Weller is a guy
pauls not that old but he aged these past years....hard to believe he was the same handsome man in the early 80s....
Jeeez he looks about 90 what the fuck has he been doing ?????
He's 57, man. He's just gotten older, like all of us have. Have some respect.
+CAVERN1234 smoking innit
Smoking and drinking
Boring jumper, boring hair, boring voice, boring views, that's what happens when you get past fifty and money makes you soft.

bertiod von rastenburger Yet you are s boring Tory
