And then there's the situation where there are two separate bands due to a falling out
case in point UB40 and UB40 featuring Ali Campbell (and before his passing Astro)
I'd rather Ali's version as he was the original lead singer.
Now I didn't mind Duncan too much they had some ok tracks but now he retired and
the passing of saxophonist Brian Travers i have no interest in that group.
Really sad about both Astro and Brian as they were both key members, Astro who shared
some vocals and Brian's unmistakable sax. Plus Brian was always the one you heard in
interviews as more or less the spokesperson.
But yes i'd rather hear Ali's voice in UB40.
Sounds like Badfinger all over again after the death of Pete Ham. |

I don't think the younh people have imaginations these day's, they only like what they see on their devices.
A few hours ago I had a call with a friend about classic bands that touring with one or two members. My response was if the lead singer is still there and a key member who has been with the band from the beginning or on the important albums, then probably yes, if it was a good price also.
I hate that 'Foreigner' still tour with no orginal members or members that are not on the albums. It's now a tribute band. I would like to see Alabama again Randy Owen and Teddy Gentry can still sing and play. The gigs won't be as wild of course.
Kiss have had 10 members but its a Gene and Paul band. Peter Criss is on track on Dynasty but it's a classic album and a lot KISS do like it.
Creatures Of The Night has a lot of session guitarists. However it's a great album to listen to whilst driving.
I think any band that continues without its original lead singer or the singer that was present during their heyday, then they have no credibility. Big Country played one of thes lets rock 80s gigs with I think only one original member (bass player). Obviously Stuart Adamson is no longer with us. Spandau Ballet failed miserably without Tony Hadley, no one can re-create his voice
Journey is another band, Arnel Pineda is good the band hired him after seeing him on YouTube. But is it still Journey is ? Marillion is another one, that causes arguments amongst fans, however I do like their later stuff as well as their early stuff.
I love Genesis with either Peter or Phill singing. I wish they did an instrumental album.
Mike + The Mechanics are still going without the late Paul Young who was a fantastic singer and Paul Carrack is on important songs as well but now tours solo. Andrew Roachford is can incredible singer, I guess with supergroups it's different. |
