Paul Weller Interview Sweden 1981

[@moveonupcb]

Good to see Paul smiling and laughing and showing his sense of humour

[@somedecency]

This is priceless, Weller is such a legend!

[@stalledrangen]

I feel sad about the interviewer. Must be like hell.

[@aleksandardjuric6550]

To me, it seems they are flirting all along, so the commentators who think Weller was being rude are obviously wrong. He does take a piss out of the presenter, but it's all in good nature, and she's in for the ride. I wouldn't be surprised if they hooked up after the show.

[@jeperstone]

I'm fairly confident she wasn't. He was though. Very clumsily and awkward

[@ALPQZM654]

Paul could have answered her questions, think he took himself a it too serious here, primadona

[@jfemonanon4809]

he was the sarcastic ass, 2 word answers just to make an impact.......come on...Paul thought he could always pass on his charisma...but it didn't work here, he was so full of himself here...question at 2:13 was good....I hope he looked at this years later and cringed.. I know he did...he eventually grew up, it just took a while

[@jakezywek6852]

j femonanon he formed the band just to act as a springboard for his solo effort.

[@Elias-no9fy]

Jake Zywek, I doubt that.

[@oliverrickard9970]

Copying John lydon

[@comeatmebro006]

he was up himself.name one young famous person who isn't. but in recent videos he regrets treating people like crap.the fame just got to him and he thought that it could be there for him forever and im starting to see that in JUSTIN BEIBER!

[@liamf7838]

the A side is called absolute beginners the b side is called eat scampi and chips lmfao quality from weller :)

[@paulsmartialarts]

Congratulations for mentioning J. Beiber in a KZbin comment for a 'classic rock' video. You are a pioneer.

[@catherinejaneyork4460]

When I first saw this, a few years back, I was like - LOL!! Watching it now, I think PW just comes over as rude, arrogant, and actually quite mean to the interviewer... I wonder what future me might think?

[@steveymoon]

She's lovely.

[@cloudbuster77]

@poshnile That gorgeous girl hit him and he couldn't be bothered?!? Most would count their lucky stars or at least be flattered. Lighten up and get over youself Paul.

[@jaretheking]

He was so fucking annoyed by her questions. Lol scampi and chips made me howl

[@KingdomofSiam]

Weller: Musical genius- exceptional natural capacity of intellect, especially as shown in creative and original work in science, art, and music. Socially inept- without skill or aptitude for a particular task, generally awkward or clumsy; haplessly incompetent- like when dealing with a teenage pop music show. Everytime I've seen him in an interview he belittles the interviewer.

[@shinto29]

I am not a huge Weller ego fan,but if your going to interview him at least ask decent questions! she got off light in my mind!

[@nicholas_porter]

He's ace. Seen him live in Aberdeen 131108.

[@McKottfars]

Is this really from 1981? Their hairdo/clothes look a bit 90's.

[@archiejones2716]

Yeah they split up in 82!

[@billybeetroot8595]

Lol

[@jonathanhadley2555]

Modernism keeps on Burning

[@AliceAttentionWhore]

What does Paul say at 1:18? And what does the person in the audience yell at 1:20 and 2:30?

[@billybeetroot8595]

Dunno

[@HonkyCat90]

@McKottfars Weller was always way ahead of his time

[@oasisrocksmysocks]

Yeah, that is kind of odd. lol. But i've got the same thing going on as well. Except, my dad is a year younger than Paul Weller. Who cares, i'm going to see him live in Seattle on April 15th. So i can't complain. =]

[@divisivecottonwood]

The problem with this clip is that it doesn't then show the performance of Funeral Pyre that they launch into straight afterwards. It is electric. It's an angry song anyway (it's about Nazis burning books) but wound up by this dreadful interview it really fucking explodes when they play it.

[@JoeyArmstrong2800]

Indeed. The Jam are relevant today then ever. Now the Socialists are burning books. Flip the script. Bam!

[@ianjones7488]

@@JoeyArmstrong2800 NOnsense. Go to Florida.

[@museumbone]

ohhh. that was painful

[@bentehannerz7753]

The Sylt

[@misshelenhardy]

lol he really does put her in her place. "can you believe this?" they are pretty stupid & pointless questions. i mean, who cares if they got eggs thrown at them in '77 in sweden? talk about the music, woman. she just doesn't seem to get it! lol :) and in reply to kukeen, i can believe that x

[@SmithersJones87]

"Can you believe this?" Weller is a God. Simple as.

[@GVike]

She reminds me of Daisy Fuentes only thinner and more airhead!!! Hahahahaha...

[@harekrishna3583]

vem är bruden????

[@blobboflava]

reply to seoulstar- so you don't like the Jam nor Style Council. Who cares. I love the Jam and Style Council made some marvelous songs and most people who reply here would agree. You have written what you wanted to say, so what else are you still doing here? Go and comment on the music you like (I don't even want to know, because I am not the kind of guy who pokes abuse at other people's tastes).

[@blobboflava]

Why is she asking him about the difference between Swedish and English kids, taht is just pathetic! Seriously. But anyway, Paul Weller rocks, he takes his music seriously and he wants to talk about his music and not chit chat to some Swedish interviewer who should do a children's programme

[@Lasermannen]

I've read that rumour too, fucking hilarious if true.

[@kevinfitzsimons41]

A car crash of an interview! I can’t watch!!!

[@changingstate1]

U cannot say that selling a few albums means nuthing. England has the beatles, the rolling stones, the who- all of ur shitty music like metallica comes from here. Paul weller was pissed off about having to do an interview in the middle of their show- and yep that interview was asking some crap questions.

[@beevapatrol]

Nice abuse again, with someone from a martial arts background your discipline is admirable. Hope your bitterness doesn't get in the way of your life and anychance you can advise on a better username, yours is astounding.

[@secretsecretsson7629]

to be fair those were pretty stupid questions, good that Paul put her in her place

[@fede018]

It's a couple of questions before a TV performance, not a cover story for the NME, ffs. He was being a wanker and I love the man.

[@comeatmebro006]

yeah i thought so myself

[@salvadory1103]

hahha hilarious- hes sold millions of records- his estimated worth is 85 million- his new album went straight into number one in uk and japan- hes charted more times in the uk charts then any other artist- hes an icon around the world especially in europe- dueted with adele- paul mccartney the who steve winwood on and on- what exactly have you done ??

[@xjamie85x]

legendary interview,she got what was commint o her lol

[@kloverlindelona]

gaaah! pinigt

[@asafan]

...it´s grand unpretentious commenting by paul...showing the "inaneness" of it all dotchathink?? hahaha...long live The Wella Man!!!!!!!!!

[@beevapatrol]

Got no heroes apart from my family just making a point in relation to arrogance of pop stars. As a martial artist myself profanities are something that is seen as a lack of discipline particularly when it is personal abuse. Not gonna get inot a slanging match with you it aint my bag.

[@jasoncsh35]

Weller is being fine...she was just making a total arse of herself I think!

[@Paulvon128]

Paul Weller is a wimp
