The Jam - Town Called Malice

[@hecate_oh777]

Weller is one of the best composer in modern music. This guy is a genius (a baby in this video, dear!)

[@1966man]

Love the Rickenbacker electro acoustic,never seen one like that before. Want one!!

[@mrtoptenatten]

[@truespyfan]

[@joannaprevost426]

This song is so icon ,❤ 80's

[@MrFoxton]

this is when Weller had style,passion,not bitterness that he now seems to have regarding these golden days

[@carlodizon931]

Wooohh!!! Thanks whoever you are posted this video!!! I was 12 when I heard this song!!! Nostalgic!!!

[@Anfield5]

still sends shivers down my spine, in my top 5 best ever tracks.

[@marcrollins]

Great motown type track, this really shows some great influences!!

[@李石-s3m]

sounds great This is just classic Pop, yes a pop song. awsome

[@Andrewoll68]

Love it. Thanks for posting.

[@ZAOUWV]

Top! The Jam was a great band!

[@duantorruellas716]

A hundred lonely house wives clutching milk bottles to their hearts, thats how you right lyrics, damn thats good stuff, I was cranking this in high school, and beat surrender.

[@Amandakop]

Class, love this song

[@blacksunfish]

Top band, top song. One of the first to inflame me when I was driving my first car! I must have been 18 and this song was already 'old'... but college radio was still good in the late 80s/early 90s. Paul is playing an OLD Rickenbacker 360F (F nomenclature meaning 'full size').

[@duffymoony]

that is a big Rickenbacker!!!

[@djb496]

what a beastly song =-P

[@nicholas_porter]

30 years ago and Paul Weller is still top of the charts, I'd say that was an achievement

[@Pauldjreadman]

This is just classic Pop, yes a pop song. awsome

[@elliottrams4life]

[@CoalMiningTown]

This is it innit.

[@inuyashalovesme213]

Im 16, and Im so glad to be able to appriciate great music when I hear it, not like the rest of my generation that listen to the most garbagy garbage they call music

[@heelgill]

Still listening at 23?

[@spenno1963]

The Modfather....Legend !

[@clashpie]

They don't make tunes like this anymore!!!

[@ivortheengine74]

This must come from their final tour of Japan, mid-1982. It was burn out time for Weller after this and The Jam broke up soon. A friend of mine once said that no good record, except 'Fools Gold' by the Stone Roses, has ever been made since December 1982 and the break-up of The Jam. He is wrong of course, but the fact he even said it, shows what a great band The Jam were.

[@mattaki]

paul second guessed himself and should have kept these guys. the best band he's ever played with.

[@MARKCHAPLE]

the man

[@tettestagg]

Nice guitars indeed!

[@MrHatefulgod]

@blacksunfish Interesting information! Still, 'nomenclature'! You could have just said 'short for'! Did you go to Eaton by any chance heheh?

[@CruzAzulMex100]

1982 (released) - 2004 (soundtrack FIFA 04) - 2012 (actually) ....Epic Song!!

[@QVXS77]

Just look at the Happydaystown from the Small Faces and see the very similar filming techniques. In fact this reminds me of them alot - probably not having as much fun in the 70's as the 60's

[@javelin1010]

The used this song in The Matador and in European Vacation.

[@TheJCEP]

This Band Is Like The Liberteens

[@jameswithers4549]

Surely the Libertines are like The Jam...

[@MrRobert1024]

[@blacksunfish]

@MandolinMan0001 ... fair enough. :)

[@johnhenry12341]

[@MandolinMan0001]

@blacksunfish Playing? Don't you mean miming... XD

[@salvadory1103]

no their legacy is intact- couldnt see the jam playing some council and weller solo stuff- good to remember them as young and vital instead of middle aged sloggers trying to rock still

[@bricktrainsoulja]

Miming

[@anthonykerr311]

Mod for it 😂

[@bendiwendi69]

[@jd1655]

I'm 213 and don't think age has anything to do with music

[@popeone01]

[@forevershampoo]

[@olorin4317]

I kinda hope this guy is the dad of Damon Albarn from Gorillaz.

[@tonymay9180]

hmm...miming...

[@TheJCEP]

@manudude24 Loool

[@silvaroberts.6890]

@MandolinMan0001 ... fair enough. :) @TheJCEP no, the libertines are like this band!lol Top! The Jam was a great band!

[@poopologist96]

@tomdav97 I agree that the bassline is good, but credit must be given where due and in this case it's largely nicked from the Supremes song "You Can't Hurry Love", played by the incomparable James Jamerson. Jamerson played the great melodic bass on many Motown hits and songs, including "My Girl". He was often uncredited and did not receive the royalties he should have, as well as credits, which probably led to his alcoholism and death at 47. Too bad this venerable song is lip-synched...

[@manudude24]

@TheJCEP no, the libertines are like this band!lol

[@mariejoellemonnereau]

pure rock, but bof, apart from the title ... bof PanpanCucul la Malice

[@pstrokeslibsarctic]

the bassist is better than sid vicious, both look and skills.. at least for me. but this is not punk, it's mod revival.

[@Jsizzler2]

@jeetkunedo57 You're right...Great band & very good song but not their best.
