@Mark fleming Was lucky enough to see Bruce play bass with SLF in NY nearly 20 years ago. I just recently learned the bassline for "In the Crowd" and can't stop playing it. Bruce is right: good tunes stand the test of time.

I played a 1963 B&W Rickenbacher bass because Bruce did. Because if that I became good friends with Darren Hill from Red Rockers because he too played a b&w Rickenbacher!

Foxton seems like a great guy and is a great bassist but sadly he never grew past the jam.. he’s forever trapped wearing the same haircut and living in the past while Weller moved on ..... weirdly he goes on stage with a jam cover band trying to recreate something that ended 40 years ago

I mean if it's his thing, if he enjoys it and makes people happy there's nothing wrong about that. Nothing mod about staying stuck in the past either, but nothing wrong at all. I actually respect people who understand they're no Bowie, Weller or Herbie Hancock and accept to keep doing their job without thinking of themselves as masters of shapeshifting.

@@e.m.b2834 I'm not sure he's trying to relive his glory days or something. I think it's more like "Ok, I was in that GREAT band in the late seventies, we did some brilliant stuff that's still beloved today and I'll try to keep giving good memories to people". I mean I'm not sure that From the Jam makes a shitload of money, playing smaller festivals and that, and I like to think the man is smart enough not to pretend he's at the forefront of British music at present times. All this to say that I respect making honest, enjoyable shows almost as much as putting out new music if you have the creativity to do so. What I don't respect are artists who are delusional about their skills and who inflict awful shows to their public.
