It's all about opinions and in mine The Jam were an absolute brilliant band. Seen them live many times and there were in a class of their own and the gigs were electric. Still got a huge following even though they split in 1982 and loads of tribute bands doing the rounds even today. Seen Weller solo a few times live but not quite the same, mainly because he refuses to play many Jam songs!! The band doing that festival From The Jam are excellent as well with the original bassist Bruce Foxton in the line up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vintage1874 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 (edited) Seen TSC and solo Weller a few times over the years and always enjoyed them. From the jam not that impressed with them If Mod is your thing Weller has always been important. Wattie is a top jambo but the exploited were no that keen on mods back in the day!

terryscott Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I love this reminiscence session - if you guys fancy contributing to our 125th anniversary celebrations with anecdotes of Margate FC I'd be very grateful for any contributions. If you ever get down to Margate (to quote Chas and Dave) you'll be very welcome - the area is a little less shitholeish these days - if you get to a game I'll stand first round (I'm the loud chubby middle aged redhead behind the goal) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first saw The Clash it was in a bar in Toronto, we considered everything punk that was new coming out of Britain or NYC, most of us that loved real punk still didn't know about mods, it was a different world from suburban Southern Ontario to where a lot of you lads grew up in those times! Punk music and hardcore has probably shaped my life differently but it has been a major influence! I've been a Jambo from the early 80's and mentioned to @wattie exploited I played quite a bit of their music on my hardcore radio show I hosted back in the 80's I'm embarrassed to say that until this thread came out I didn't know he was a Jambo, the world is smaller now with social media and these stories are fantastic!
