Paul Weller was never a Nirvana fan.
He has told the Irish Examiner that he thought Nirvana were 'f***ing rubbish'.Speaking about his re-emergence as a solo artist and the grunge era, the Modfather said,
'You’d had all that shoegazing bollocks and then the whole Nirvana thing, which I thought was fucking rubbish - it was just America catching up with punk rock 20 years too fucking late for me, you know'.
The Britpop era which followed prove to be a far happier time for Weller.
'That was the first time ever that I’d felt any kinship with any musicians - even though they were all probably at least ten years younger than me.'
So what do you think? Does the Modfather have a point, or is he just being a negative creep?
