Despite admiring The Rolling Stones' reunion, Paul Weller has no expectations that The Jam will ever do the same.

Weller told The Sun, "I take my hat off to people like the Stones but it's not for me. I couldn't do that. Jagger is brilliant and long may he rock.

"I couldn't make my career out of old songs, it would do my head in."

He has apparently turned down millions by refusing to reform The Jam, saying that fans will not see a reunion with Rick Buckler and Bruce Foxton.

Weller continued, "We haven't had 30 years of us continuing making lousy records, which is the case for some bands. No way would it happen.

"You can't recapture those things, and also why should you? It would be absurd - three 50-year-old geezers jumping around the stage."


Are The Rolling Stones getting a bit old and past it?

The Modfather also recently told NME that he's 'just started getting excited' about indie bands again, due to the return of guitar music.

He said, "It's been shit for the last few years. But there's just a few bands I've heard who seem to be doing it for the right reasons."

Weller went on to say, "I loved the Palma Violets single, and I keep hearing a load of different things that are turning me on.

"I saw that band The Strypes recently and it was just, 'Wow'. The guitarist is fucking amazing. Really raised my game, that did."
