Noel Gallagher & Paul Weller - The Butterfly Collector

My favourite all time Jam single, loved it all those years ago, still today.... Saw them 18 times still got all the ticket stubs.... LOVE THE JAM... from a 56 year old !!!

[@simonp8698]

Strange Town B-side..

[@roytheboy1963]

I'm 58 in 2022 & I think you will be as well, loved the Jam from the early days, yes this is a great version of the song, I love English rose as well, another different from the norm in sound but very a beautiful song all the same!

[@harveysmith100]

This tiny little Island produces music to rival the world. We take it all for granted. What an extraordinary country I live in. I fear that with the modern digital world we won't produce gentlemen like the two we have just seen in the future. I grew up in the late seventies It was an amazing decade of music that ended with the Jam and the Specials. To us it was exciting but normal. How lucky we were.

[@grahamcox662]

Harvey Smith The specials,LOL,I find it funny when people talk about a great artist like Weller ,and then try to suggest much lesser artists,are just as good.The specials,that's funny.

[@deanodog3667]

Thank you Deano, I couldn't lower myself to respond to such an ignorant comment. If you were there, you understood.

[@MrMrnice1983]

I always wonder about that very thing. So many great bands and artists from UK and Ireland, I don't really like being proud of your country as most of the time its for closed minded people. But I am proud of the music that has been produced here xx

[@terrymellan9469]

two of the greatest singer songwriters of our generation performing a brilliant performance of butterfly collector. pure class

[@Ashokk62]

Paul Weller’s singing just gets better and better. This is a really great version of the song he originally recorded with the Jam all those years ago. The Jam were a great band (maybe the greatest British band) my favouirite still to this day. thank you Noel too for bringing us even more great music and lyrics, truly soul building stuff … thank you for the music, still singing the songs in my head everyday

[@billrana2373]

The Jam were the best band in the fucking world

[@davidcottam7431]

I was only thinking that the other day. I think his voice has actually got better and deeper as he's aged but the quality is still there.

[@antimatta8714]

Noel and Paul doing butterfly collector......... instant thumbs up.

[@pauleyles9536]

Quite right m8. I often do my best drum kit sound affect impression 2this gr8 track. I wonder if Paul Weller is a good Chess player like I am. And a big Human League fan. Like I am.

[@garydunning9363]

I remember listening to this when I had"strange town"on the flip side an loved it right off.

[@acquiesce01]

Great intertwining of voices. Noel and Paul together, just sound great. You can see the admiration between them. Not the first song they've done together.

The ultimate Weller put-down: "Your fashion sense is second rate, like your perfume"

[@johnrodgers6763]

But you surely must know the appeal between your legs, has worn off......phew strong lyrics.

[@paulmason1998]

@Stoli Blue Great book but this is about a groupie who hung about with the Jam and Weller's contempt for her.

[@stephentowers9209]

Am with you mate wouldn't it be the absolute bollocks to tear strips off a bird through music Stone Roses are good at it aswell, it also works the other way aswell, Proper love a Indie love song Talking Heads naive melody This Must be the Place

I wonder if Paul Weller is a good Chess player. I often do my 🥁 kit sound affect impression. 2 this track. And the Human League song the Lebanon.(which l have got signed by the Human League) I really think that Joanne Catherall ♥️ and Susan Sulley ♥️ and Phillip Oakey 2 r Ace. Like Paul Weller.

[@PurnimaThakerDhorajiwalapRTd]

The applause is befitting...to this great music. I want to listen to it again. Both voices are so distinct and yet so well complimenting the other.

[@olismith7506]

dermot51 what do you want him to do? Whip out a improvised guitar solo whilst the guitar is behind his head. Wouldn’t really suit the song very much

[@jeffreyingall3794]

We should get down and pray to the gods that we have the greatest musicians in the world that can mix and match with each other we are blessed❤❤❤❤

[@marclawrence66]

what a gem from those Jam days. Brilliant. Must have been quite a thrill for Noel to sing this after growing up listening to The Jam.

[@tonyodonovan3735]

Nice Dog

[@DaveTaste]

Gem wasn't in the Jam.

[@TotaliterAliter]

This gives me goose bumps.

[@gizmo1501]

Simply awesome from 2 legends 👍

[@weaksyweak]

GEM just fills the gaps perfectly- very underrated guitar player

[@glenbetton3146]

He is but I prefer Little Barrie playing with Weller

[@redacted2275]

Not underrated, but he did filled a much needed gap that bothers me since I've heard the original version... after I heard this one, I always complete the other arrangements in my head lol Without it, for me, it sounds like a demo. Plus Weller's vocals are visceral here, something that only time will give you. The original more naive tone Noel covers with ease doing backing vocals...

[@DaveTaste]

He was in Oasis. Lol. How is that underrated. Lennon and McCartney were underrated songwriters.

[@SuperKillbill66]

When legends play together !!

[@TotaliterAliter]

Two absolute geniuses.

[@olliemayes123456]

Both hugely talented artists in their own right. Two of my favourite. Paul Weller has massive staying power however, has been around for a long time and can adapt will see if Noel can do the same. That is the true test of greatness, the test of time!

[@dansak001]

Weller-Genius. Gallagher-Worthy companion

[@harveysmith100]

When I was a young man we had the Specials and the Jam. We thought they were great but we didn't understands they were legends in the making. Then came the Smiths with Johnny Fucking Marr. Then music became bland and boring until Manchester woke up and the Stone Roses came along followed by Noel and Oasis. How beautiful it was to see Noel with Paul playing one of my favourite songs. Thank you Paul and Noel for making my life better, seriously better because of what you write

[@robbo2357]

One of my all time faves.. Just brilliant

[@lukexluke]

Two brilliant musicians doing an amazing song. One of the most venomous songs written yet it's beautiful melody hides the vitriol behind the words unless you're paying attention. Paul Weller may be an opinionated sod, but he's responsible for so many great songs that he's entitled to think less of others less talented than himself

[@nigelbriggs5369]

4 amazing musicians. If it wasn't for the soft percussion of Terry Kirkbride and the infill of Gem on the Gibson, this would be very much reduced!

[@PeggysuzTwitter]

I didn't think this was about lesser musicians, but about people who sell themselves in one way or another.

[@oreally8605]

Paul has right to talk about tarts & whores and such because they are what pulls society down. If you can't get that- then I feel sorry for you.

[@davidcottam7431]

Very true. I also think that the contrast between a beautiful gentle title and the meaning of the lyrics also makes it.

I saw the Jam on Oct 8th 1977 at the Whiskey in Hollywood Ca, and thought they were great...unfortunately I lost track of them and really never game them or Mr. Weller much thought until these youtube videos with Noel Gallagher.

[@pauleyles9536]

I've met my heroes IE the Human League and 5times in Joanne Catheralls case. I think that Paul Weller should definitely get a knighthood 4 his great music. I wonder if Paul Weller is a good Chess player. Like me.

[@pauleyles9536]

Paul Weller should get a knighthood 4 his great music. Love the Jam track That's Entertainment. Because it reminds me of a good Chess match for Portsmouth B or C team. That I have played in. And a great Human League gig that I have been lucky enough to have seen. And the Butterfly Colleter. Happens to be my favourite B side song by the Jam.
