Not the fault of UB40 i'm afraid, like Robin stated in this interview (he was the other vocalist in the band) & his voice is similar to Ali's anyway. All this talk of Ali is just the loyalty shown towards him with no respect at all shown towards the band.
If you listen to early UB40 from the early days, Duncan does sound like Ali. It's so sad how it went north with them all, a wonderful Reggae band and great people.
I accepted Duncan also, from the beginning. I know he's not Ali, but Ali left and so these guys just moving on and that's great! To me these guys, are still the Original ub40....
Without Ali this is now so bad Duncan Campbell is shockingly terrible he just can not sing and how he thought that he could replace Ali is a joke it is embarrassing and making out that they are now better is just pure bull crap they would love Ali back instead of that dead beat voice Duncan has got and Duncan does not sound nothing like Ali and he never will that statement about people thought he was miming is just pure lies because i have never ever seen or heard anyone say that Duncan sounds like Ali carry on dreaming
Love ❤ ub40 but I liked it with all of the original people. Some issues going on with the brothers falling out with each other which is a real shame but that's families for ya .I did see Ali recently and he was great 👍 love ❤ all their music 🎶 🎵 ❤
These are a joke , The Dark Side , like going to see BoB Marley but u see a Taxi driver , Ali Campbell an Astro an Mikey are The true UB40' Robin is a liar , an Duncun is a folk Singer better tribute bands out their .
+Mercedes Raggio no they arent....UB40 became well known and stood out from any other reggae group because of Ali's voice! no one cares about how the trumpet played. Ali has his own UB40 group with Astro and Mickey. basically they are UB40
You are wrong..the unique sound of Ub40 is made by all thes guys...the instrumentes and the voices arreigment( arreglos ) mades by Robin Cambell all the lyrics we love are froma brian robin jimmy and earl ...so hey are UB40
@@MusicNation-TV My goodness!!! He must look even worse now then! Your comment is odd - it's clearly a nod of approval for anyone to use hair dye and botox as they age.
i think ali should get loyalties even though ali left group lol how can u have ub40 without him why not just started you own group see if you all good anough without the name ub40 to me you just copycats karaoke singers
All of you who are mad at these guys because they had the gall to continue after Ali left are too much. This reminds me of the fools who keep harassing The Stranglers for moving on after Hugh Cornwell left in 1990. The verbal/written abuse got so bad a couple of years ago that they had to inform the Hugh fans that he had a Facebook page of his own and maybe they'd be comfortable there. Focus on supporting Ali's endeavors and listen to old UB40 albums. Have fun 😆
FFS, Robin, I am glad in your words “the vast majority of your fans are happy that you are doing what are doing what you do minus Ali”. Duncan is crap, Ali is the voice of UB40, I don’t give a fcuk if you think he is an arsehole, it is irrelevant. Selling records is key! Time you grew up!!!
Lovely interview and as Robin said "The vast majority have accepted Duncan".... The fans that can't see past the Ali era are closed minded to the UB40 evolution (for the better and happier) and their every protest post and slanderous comment only shows themselves as intolerant to change. I say go live in the past and support your old hero as his voice decreases in quality. Shame on the three who left the band but continue to capitalize on the UB40 name. They have no right to it, having quit the band that continue on successfully... Listen to "Moonlight Lover" the new single (Oct 2018) from the old band... It is fantastic!!!
sunnyFLb but this ub40 is singing the old ub40 hits? This isn't what the real fans want to hear, whether you like it or not Ali's distinctive voice is what made them stand out - this group is disappointing!
Duncan is a nice bloke but he is a crap singer. I like Duncan, but he should try and persuade Robin to hire a professional singer. Duncan would be great as an events co-ordinator for UB40 - as he is one of the original brothers from the Campbell family. He definitely should have a key role in the band - but not as a singer.
@@MusicNation-TV Agreed mate. But i still think that Duncan should have been placed in a management role. Robin was desperate to keep things in the family, so he asked Duncan to be the lead singer. That was a tactical error on Robins part. Sorry to disappoint you mate. But the masses of hardcore UB40 fans agree with me on this. Like I said, Duncan is a nice bloke - but desperate decision made by Robin in the spur of a moment can certainly backfire - and they did here - big time!

This is Reduculas without the original voice this is WD40 Empty-spraycan version

That's funny 😄
Duncan and robin it your brother but your voice is not Ali which is UB40
If you listen to early UB40 from the early days, Duncan does sound like Ali. It's so sad how it went north with them all, a wonderful Reggae band and great people.
Ub 40 for life...❤❤❤
Keep up the good work Robin and Duncan . I enjoy the music albums . I hope Duncan is doing well now xxx we just need to get touring again xxx
You 2 are brilliant together good luck x
Ali is UB40 Duncan looks like a desperate man trying to get fame by stepping into his brothers shoes which is not working for me
You are not and never will be UB40 without Ali, Duncan is a folk singer and not got voice for reggae
Totally true. They're just a UB40 tribute band without Ali.
Amen to that!
A crappy ub40 cover band
I accepted Duncan also, from the beginning. I know he's not Ali, but Ali left and so these guys just moving on and that's great! To me these guys, are still the Original ub40....
This aint UB40!! Ali is UB40 OMG...
Was you pissed when you wrote this?
Funny how they're not talking to Ali, after all those years together and being brothers, too.
It's Ali that isn't talking to them!
Two beautiful brothers. Robin and Duncan! love them both!
No Ali No UB40
Duncan was a poor replacement for Ali. Just not good enough. They should have used a proper reggae singer
Who would you have to replace ALI then
UB40 - Ali Campbell = Not UB40 .
Without Ali this is now so bad Duncan Campbell is shockingly terrible he just can not sing and how he thought that he could replace Ali is a joke it is embarrassing and making out that they are now better is just pure bull crap they would love Ali back instead of that dead beat voice Duncan has got and Duncan does not sound nothing like Ali and he never will that statement about people thought he was miming is just pure lies because i have never ever seen or heard anyone say that Duncan sounds like Ali carry on dreaming
Love ub40
Unbelievably naughty this aint ub40
Innit ironic that you stated that this isn't UB40 but the band is the same band it's always been?
Brilliant live band, these guys know have to put on a great concert xx 💜
+Bev Major sure do, amazing concert
Not with Duncan "singing “ he’s bloody awful.
Love UZ ub40❤️💜💚
Love ❤ ub40 but I liked it with all of the original people. Some issues going on with the brothers falling out with each other which is a real shame but that's families for ya .I did see Ali recently and he was great 👍 love ❤ all their music 🎶 🎵 ❤
one love guys

Ali is UB40, the rest are ub20s or something
I like both bands - twice the UB40!
Duncan is absolutely gorgeous
Is he a pop master though? 😃
@@colinmitchell6872 Lol, not sure!
Haha, he'd love to read that. He's a top bloke.
LOVE THESE GUYS, THE REAL UB40..
Shite
Rob your dreaming u don’t sing Ali is ub40
❤️❤️
Thank you!
Ali is UB40
Dónde está ALI Campbell, Duncan no porfavor
these guys need to change their name they aint UB40 without Ali
+Cole Leniu They ARE UB40 !! Ali left 8 years ago !!!This guys are GENIUS !!!
+Mercedes Raggio no they arent....UB40 became well known and stood out from any other reggae group because of Ali's voice! no one cares about how the trumpet played. Ali has his own UB40 group with Astro and Mickey. basically they are UB40

+Mercedes Raggio and yet everyone still knows Ali Cambell is UB40 lol .
Oh god!!! His is Not he used to be the 1/8 part of UB40 but he left his ego dont have enogh space
Goodby i have ti work
Rubbish Ali is the man
Duncan "karaoke" Campbell
Duncan is just brilliant to take over ali Ali is a sell out
OMG Duncan is such an embarrassment.
Liverpool UK
Reggae got to b herd
Robin hitting the botox and hair dye hard...
Well, it was nearly 7-years ago.
@@MusicNation-TV
My goodness!!! He must look even worse now then!
Your comment is odd - it's clearly a nod of approval for anyone to use hair dye and botox as they age.
i think ali should get loyalties even though ali left group lol how can u have ub40 without him why not just started you own group see if you all good anough without the name ub40 to me you just copycats karaoke singers
why should they change there name Ali left to go solo!
Half of their repertoire are covers. That's considered karaoke.
steven jones that is insulting karaoke
They are still great.. Ali or not!! They are still a great band:)

Duncan is crap! You need Ali back, he’s the only one who can sing!
I don't think that will ever happen. Duncans a cool dude, he's doing the best he can. Better this than no band.
kia ora guys..tumeke

What a joke ......this isn’t ub40...it a karaoke band now ....& a bad one
I still love them, but Im not so worried about the politics.
Duncan is a nice bloke but he is a crap singer.
I like Duncan, but he should try and persuade Robin to hire a professional singer.
Duncan would be great as an events co-ordinator for UB40 - as he is one of the original brothers from the Campbell family.
He definitely should have a key role in the band - but not as a singer.
He's a really nice guy, love chatting with him when he's in the country. He's in a tough situation and doing the best he can.

Really best band ever, such sweet guys, I am so happy ali left and Duncan came in. The band has only improoved
You know nothing about UB40 then
+Jaaay J no I don't. Thank you for reminding me.
Duncan is shit
Totally agree Kirsten!! Better than ever!
You clearly have no idea what UB40 about. Sorry your a idiot.

We are mad because they are absolutely murdering the UB40 songs.

We are not mad dopey. They are just dog shit without Ali.
