I thought Ali was a bit cheeky to refer to his ex-bandmates as a "tribute band". He is just one and there are 4 surviving founder members (Robin, Earl, Jimmy & Norman) so they are indeed the real UB40. The late great Brian Travers did the bulk of the songwriting but being democratic, the credit was shared. Ali's reasons for leaving were entirely valid (the mismanagement of their then record label). I wonder what happened to Mickey Virtue as he left Ali's band. RIP Brain and Astro.
A lot of bitterness to as apparemtly certain band members where asking for money from ali and astro regularly and started investing in property saw in a interview. Ali is a commonist 'he's words' and didn't aggree with any of that. That's why ali and astro looked tired towards the end of there time with original ub40. Whats the video of blue eyes crying in the rain and take a close look at astro hiw he looked drained tired and fed up something I noticed and most obvious
Martin & Lawrence have been with the band since late 1995 early ‘96 so that’s a good 28 years, through the good times & the very bad & dark times & they’ve stayed true to the UB’s! They’ve easily earnt their place as fully fledged members UB40.
🔒🎸🎺🎙🎷Ali's Band of Session Musicians Play UB40 Songs atrociously as the real UB40 sound great on all Their Recordings from Signing-off to UB45 but live They have a brilliant unique Sound which only They can Produce & Matt's Voice is Spot on 📻🎵💥
😂😂😂😂😂😂 give over ffs....theres ever only one UB40...never gonna be the same again..this is destroying their legacy...f... embarrassing to even watch let alone be on stage playing it!!!😂😂😂😂😂
And I feel sorry for Ali's band he only pays them £400 per show so rips them off when he claims UB40 members ripped him off the late Brian Travers was right he is a pathological liar
You do understand hes the founder?! You still going to concerts of dead people claiming to see the real thing havend you huh silly person, get some mental health morron.
Those intro issues to RRW and CHFIL are down to Ali. Hes obviously forgetting the arrangments he has with the drummer to come in. Although, dont know why the drummer needs to count in those songs like he does.
Well the UB45 album is really good the best since the split and Matt have given them a new release I think but as far as the actual band they’re very well tuned and very tight.I haven’t been to see Ali missed him last week🙄but will get to catch him next time it’s a big shame of what happened between them for certain reasons which I don’t wanna know as I knew Brian t well and Ali and because of the split I never went to see either of them as there was bad blood between the both and I didn’t want to be in the middle of it seeing one lot and then the other it made me feel like what’s he saying about me etc etc then Brian died I did speak to him via emails during his illness he wished Ali would’ve got in touch with him but didn’t expect it really which is a shame really because they were best friends always went everywhere together sad.but one day hopefully I’ll catch up with Ali and have a chat as friends and not about their business
I'm reading all these wonderful tributes about Ali's tour this month. I was at the Glasgow gig and thought it was a poor showing from him, just another day at work it looked like. I won't pay to see him ever again. Seen him over a dozen times, never again.
Yes Ali Campbell can no longer do it live but Ali's albums are far better than UB40 the only decent album they have done is getting over the storm and labour of love 4 it was ok apart from that the albums are below average ..
The real UB40 recently hit number 5 in the album charts with their new album UB45. So hows it going for you Ali...oh yes you are still ripping off the name UB40 because you just cant make it without the UB40 name and you are still screeching away in that UB40 tribute band that you have going.
@@theelvisguru9490 I guess as Neil's original 1967 recording seems to have not been released as a single in the UK at the time, then UB40 must have gotten their inspiration from the 1969 REGGAE version by Jamaican-born singer Tony Tribe, which did make the UK charts. My mistake. 🙂
@@theelvisguru9490 Also I think I might have gotten mixed-up with the song Cherry O Baby, which was originally a Jamaican Reggae song, but was also a hit later on for UB40. 🙂
What utter pish! Just watched Ali at London o2 last week. Faultless 2 hour set to a packed venue, Superb. 👌🏽 Good luck to the rest of the band, I have nothing against them. But unfortunately, whether they like it or not, backing musicians are easily replaced, iconic voices are not.
I just watched Ali in Birmingham 13th of April was fantastic the sound was beyond good obviously missing Astro but same as you say packed out venue still going strong the atmosphere was magic. Keep up the good work Ali ❤
I think you missed what UB40 as a group where actually about. I saw the other's when they first split at Croydon Fairfield Hall, and they were just brilliant. Also saw then at Lingfield races with the then new singer. Again they were brilliant. Just brought the UB 45 on vinyl and CD. Still partying in my kitchen 😊.
🔒🎸🎺🎙🎷@marionthomas5947 They Sound perfectly like UB40 as They are & have made all great Albums but Ali & His Session Musicians Sound completely wrong basically 📻🎵💥
@@nickycotton6137 can you not read ? Ali said his songs, the song belongs to the person who writes it so clearly not his songs, yea he old and his memory is fading.
Ali Campbell is the real voice of UB 40 incredible band ! Once again in Brussels this 1st of april 2024 : he was great and done a gret show in Ancienne Belgique Brussels Theater ! ❤️❤️❤️🎼🎸🎺🎵
What a sad sad sight & sound... be careful what you wish for. Real & true UB40 with a new album Ub45 smashing it up with some absalute bangers of origional tunes. Time Ali just retired now.
Saw Ali's UB40 earlier in the year and the original band the Saturday just gone and the difference was night and day! Robin and the original band were so much more polished and professional than Ali's and the new singer more than holds his own...very impressed.
😢utter bollox. I saw them in brum a couple of months ago and they were as good as ever. Only thing that could make them better would be astro. That backing singer Robin is definitely not missed. Fan since 79 and I've seen ub40 26 times.
Ali is and always was the voice of ub40 , differences have always been there musically and business ,we are all getting older ,ub have been together 50 yrs now since kids ,they have also lost band members who were large players in the set up as well as friends with deep emotional contact as anyone with friends for so long will testify ,losing them not only changes the dynamic or the band but the head space of the ones left , is it a shame the band split, yes have we had great music since also yes , as a live band they always have been amazing but motivation and will to carry on with new members is difficult ,they don’t know the music or the process they band have had forever , so while being onstage is where they want to be it must evoke deep sadness for the lost friends not being there and a reminder every gig , should the remerge? One last time would be great but the divisions are deep on both sides and there’s so many bands we as fans miss because of feuds , it’s all too late once illness or death makes the final call and suddenly the option to be difficult has gone ,the music lives on as music always does
🔒🎸🎙🎺🎷He doesn't even Compose ever also after His Self Chosen exit from the Band in 2008 He spent 5 Years trying to launch His ongoing Solo Career Releasing a couple of substandard Albums & then due to continuous low Ticket Sales & Tour cancellations He then Chose to start using the UB40 Name confusing Fans & telling a lot of whopping lies about His former Band along the way.Ali's only interested in Money 💰📻💥🎵
Give over, brothers. There's a lot that's happened but can be sorted. It's just a shame as it was about brotherhood. Would love them on my project here to help them sort it out. Get together. Be adults. Do it for the legacy. RIP ASTRO.
Ali found out the hard way like so many previous lead singers that solo success is not a guarantee. That was why he started trying to appropriate the UB40 brand name. The original UB40 have displayed genius in selecting lead singers to replace Ali. Duncan was an inspired pick and Matt is just awesome. Paired with Robin's vocals, in all honesty Ali is not missed at all. UB40 was about the Voice and the Sound. The original UB40 have both while Ali has only the Voice. Also, don't forget that each member of the original UB40 had their individual fan followings... it was not just about Ali. My own faves in the group were Robin, Brian and Jimmy. If i had to choose which version of UB40 to watch ? Definitely the original UB40.
and the singers sound like him . first his brother then doyle who is from a tribute band.... and ali is a what tribute to himself... he won the court case he is ub4o
Yes!! Ali is the real voice of ub40 and nobody can deny that! The other band literally sing the songs that are HIS VOICE!! The other band are crap lol i’ve seen them on youtube. So glad that people are sticking up for Ali in the comments
Bullcrap, I saw Ali's UB40 a few weeks back and they were brilliant. He's coming back at the end of the year and I'm definitely going again. That said I do wish he and Robin would patch up their differences.
So much propaganda and counter propaganda. I judt wish the "real" original UB40 were still here. Cannot be of course RIP Brian Travers. The sound that made UB40.
such a shame. I always loved Ali but I also loved the whole band as they were. My wish is they could resolve their differences and there just be one UB40.. until there is no more UB40. We dont need two! Its so nuts and unnecessary.
Anyone who really believes his band sounds like UB40 is living in a fantasy world. He may have an awesome band. They don't sound like UB40. He may be an amazing singer, but anyone who supports his band is just proving his ego point that it was always all about him. Everyone in the band sang the songs. Not just him. He chose to leave. Why is that the original band's problem that he couldn't sell tickets by himself? Unprecedented was a bad album. I guess that's what happens when you remove the people that wrote their original songs. Cuz god knows Ali didn't. I'll love Ali as a vocalist forever. I saw the original band w Duncan and had a blast. They keep my support. If Ali puts out an album that is good, maybe ill be back. But until then, here we are.
So someone's decided to put a load of unflattering clips togather to make him look bad. Well done great editing skills. Let me say tho I've been to see him twice once with astro and the other more recent and both times amazing and he really puts on a show. Original ub40 (who probably put this video togather) are punching in my opinion since ali and then astro left them. Tribute band😅 😅😅
A tribute band, yeah right, new album soon to be released, massive about to start a massive world tour, so what you on about, tell me does Ali still grab his nuts on stage to look sexy?
Honestly, "there is another UB40.." Excuse me, but who left whom? Former lead vocalists who think too much of themselves are two a penny these days it seems. He may have sung on a lot of the earlier UB40 tracks, but he's only one man, they're still a band, and a lot better sounding than he is these days too. The output from the original UB40 over the many years since this conceited joker left has knocked hs stuff into a cocked hat. Only my humble opinion of course.😎
Ali Campbell is bitter and has always been quite arrogant even more so since he left the original line up and stole the name to help shift his albums and shows and hes clearly just a money grabber id never go to his show again or buy another one of his albums ive got the new ub45 album its amazing the real ub40 sound not just chucked together hes a liar too mickey aint retired hes working with other artists
Ub40 fan..loved the tunes bk in the day..its all gone tits up now..stop the shit show and just end your day's the exactly the same way it all started...its called universal credit now..sign up😢
I wonder if this slander would still be going on if he was still in UB40? People really need to stop getting involved in a war that's not theirs still to this day. Get over it! Also, if you think you can do any better, stop making TH-cam videos from behind your computer screen, destroying the legacy of a guy who has given us good music and instead of being bitter, be better!
UB40 are simply UB40 when they are all together. No split off groups no Ali Campbell and UB40 it just doesn't work. Like Gallagher brothers how do you not talk to your brother for 10 years !! That's so bad.
UB40 a tribute band? 😂 At least they know how to tune their instruments & work together as a unit so live songs actually happen smoothly & with a lot of energy & they’re musically known by their individual names within the business! Whereas ‘The Misfits: Feat Ali Who Cares Anymore?’ are nobody’s! Ali is still a bitter old man (if not more so as he’s finished & he knows it!) & he’s a messed up weirdo who NEEDED DESPERATELY to use the UB40 name to sell a record & to get an actual tour off the ground as both of these attempts were initially massive failures after leaving UB40 even despite his voice he was a complete failure! (FACT!) He even sickly & sadly used Astro’s name after his death as where’s Astro on the ‘Unprecedented’ album? He certainly not on it as much as the sleeve makes out! He does ‘Sufferer’ the ‘Unprecedented’ rap & his voice has been tagged onto the beginning second of ‘Sunday Morning Coming Down’ he’s not on the ‘What Have I Done’ promo video despite apparently being in the studio & contributing?! Ali is an unliked deluded disgrace!
It's like Macca calling himself the Beatles with a new band alongside him. Your paragraphs of hate make you look as if you've studied a course @ Uni about Ali Campbell!! Flid.
You're ard over a screen eh. Slagging him off picking nothing, but negatives says IT ALL!! Bloody Aliist flid gossiping & typing an essay of hate!! YOU are the embarrassment you Ali hater. Go watch the new line up with that pretty boy singer rather than slag off Ali eh
@@nickycotton6137 The thing is for so long Macca thought he was The Beatles! (I’m a Merseysider!) And Ali left to go solo & called himself Ali Campbell & UB40 carried on, Ali couldn’t survive without the UB40 name so he used it for work, I worked at Vauxhall for nearly 20 years with promotion after promotion but illness hit, now I never say that I work at Vauxhall because I don’t despite what I achieved there , I volunteer around this area no longer working with cars as a job but I had to leave Vauxhall with a sad goodbye from myself & from the business so if I’m asked “You Still At Vauxhall?” the reality & reply is “No” just like is Ali Campbell still a member of UB40 no, And the courts have ruled “No” And he did use Astros death as a bizarre sick selling point, Ali is finished!
That show is shockingly bad. Sounds nothing like the real UB40 past or present. You're obviously not that knowledgeable about the bands original sound if that's your favourite gig footage. 🤯
UB40 will never be the same without the originals! Ali voice is 1 of kind but it took the whole team that made UB40 who they are. I have to say with UB40 lead singer Matt the Hollywood is sounding really good looking forward to their tour 45. When it is the whole band it is magical there signature sound. Ali should not bag on UB40 to me that is insecurity! I will 4 ever be a UB40 fan 4 life I got to meet them all took photos with them signatures in fact Ali gave me & my wife plus 4 on the guess list to see them in the Greek theatre in Los Angeles we went invited some friends. Front row amazing time hung out in the back stage after. Many memories ☝🏽❤️🙏🏽
Hahaha🤣🤣You sad cyber bully. Say that to the 17,000 people that saw him in Birmingham the other day it was BRILLIANT. Hope that one day you find some happiness in your life, seeing that hating on a successful artist brings you joy. Anyway BIG LOVE❤❤❤😂
It is very clear who is deluded in this scenario. How long are people going to pretend that one of the most distinctive voices in reggae can be replaced seamlessly? How many different lead singers have they tried since he left? Saw him at Rochester castle and he was great. Whatever the story is, I'm sticking with Ali.
Both don’t sound like the original UB40 would’ve not been without Ali Ali is not without the original UB40 band Hey, at least we have the good albums Both sound bad now
Every concert with Ali has been a sell out all over the world get a grip editing crap ... Ali Campbell is UB40 he created the group and bought the instrumenta with his compensation money
Hahahahahaha... Sorry, you really nade me laugh. If you only knew how many concerts have been cancelled because of the lack of ticket sales; And about the created and bought blabla, do your history.
yep...thats petty sad....and dam..we getting fricking old
the tears are running down my face so funny
Ali its over mate its getting embarrassing now bow out gracefully
I thought Ali was a bit cheeky to refer to his ex-bandmates as a "tribute band". He is just one and there are 4 surviving founder members (Robin, Earl, Jimmy & Norman) so they are indeed the real UB40. The late great Brian Travers did the bulk of the songwriting but being democratic, the credit was shared. Ali's reasons for leaving were entirely valid (the mismanagement of their then record label). I wonder what happened to Mickey Virtue as he left Ali's band. RIP Brain and Astro.
A lot of bitterness to as apparemtly certain band members where asking for money from ali and astro regularly and started investing in property saw in a interview. Ali is a commonist 'he's words' and didn't aggree with any of that. That's why ali and astro looked tired towards the end of there time with original ub40. Whats the video of blue eyes crying in the rain and take a close look at astro hiw he looked drained tired and fed up something I noticed and most obvious
Martin & Lawrence have been with the band since late 1995 early ‘96 so that’s a good 28 years, through the good times & the very bad & dark times & they’ve stayed true to the UB’s!

Ali Campbell is bitter and has always been quite arrogant even more so since he left the original line up and stole the name to help shift his albums and shows and hes clearly just a money grabber id never go to his show again or buy another one of his albums ive got the new ub45 album its amazing the real ub40 sound not just chucked together hes a liar too mickey aint retired hes working with other artists
Ub40 fan..loved the tunes bk in the day..its all gone tits up now..stop the shit show and just end your day's the exactly the same way it all started...its called universal credit now..sign up😢
Jesus i do it even better. This bad
embarrassment ??? 😂 He sells more concert tickets than his brother's UB40 sideshow
At last a page that shows the real ali Campbell .... a pub act at best
I wonder if this slander would still be going on if he was still in UB40? People really need to stop getting involved in a war that's not theirs still to this day. Get over it!
Also, if you think you can do any better, stop making TH-cam videos from behind your computer screen, destroying the legacy of a guy who has given us good music and instead of being bitter, be better!
Well said/Typed...👏
Let's see this 'uploader' sing & make fun of him/her.. Proper attention seeking upload eh
This is painful. He's a joke now.😅
Robin’s UB40 ❤
Sorry to tell yous all Ali is in 40 😂❤❤
Ali Campbell IS UB40!
He'd get kicked off of x-factor
your mum would
You sound dismel
LOVE YA ALI 💖🧡💜💛
Omg ali step back mate and have a good look at yourself its so sad you need to take time out and come back fresh just look what your brother is doing
There will NEVER be another UB40 regardless of what his brother is doing. RIP Astro...🔥
But last week he was singing with them.
No he wasn’t Matt Doyle sings with UB40
Ali isn't in UB40 he's with the dep band still
Embarrassing!!!!
UB40 is Ali's voice and all the musicians involved and that's all that matters!
Whats going on here😢
That dont sound like Ali 😮
U r the real deal if he wasn't Ur brother clapse ub40😢
The sound the same but the vocal not real Ali will do a world tour good bye ub40 I seen in Kuranda amphitheatre 1992 I think
Come on show some respect to Ali
Why, he's a bitter man, why show him respect?
What about showing some respect for the audience as well.
@@Mountainsandmusic8011 Ali will always have his loyal fans, but the true UB40 fans aren't fools.
No ALI, no ub40 sorry
UB40 are simply UB40 when they are all together. No split off groups no Ali Campbell and UB40 it just doesn't work. Like Gallagher brothers how do you not talk to your brother for 10 years !! That's so bad.
Ali left ub40 and they carried on without him
UB40 a tribute band? 😂 At least they know how to tune their instruments & work together as a unit so live songs actually happen smoothly & with a lot of energy & they’re musically known by their individual names within the business!
Whereas ‘The Misfits: Feat Ali Who Cares Anymore?’ are nobody’s!
Ali is still a bitter old man (if not more so as he’s finished & he knows it!) & he’s a messed up weirdo who NEEDED DESPERATELY to use the UB40 name to sell a record & to get an actual tour off the ground as both of these attempts were initially massive failures after leaving UB40 even despite his voice he was a complete failure! (FACT!)
He even sickly & sadly used Astro’s name after his death as where’s Astro on the ‘Unprecedented’ album? He certainly not on it as much as the sleeve makes out! He does ‘Sufferer’ the ‘Unprecedented’ rap & his voice has been tagged onto the beginning second of ‘Sunday Morning Coming Down’ he’s not on the ‘What Have I Done’ promo video despite apparently being in the studio & contributing?!
Ali is an unliked deluded disgrace!
100% agree
What a load of bollocks. UB40 are long gone without nigh on half the original band gone. His brother should've called them UB50 or UB60 etc
It's like Macca calling himself the Beatles with a new band alongside him. Your paragraphs of hate make you look as if you've studied a course @ Uni about Ali Campbell!! Flid.
You're ard over a screen eh. Slagging him off picking nothing, but negatives says IT ALL!! Bloody Aliist flid gossiping & typing an essay of hate!! YOU are the embarrassment you Ali hater. Go watch the new line up with that pretty boy singer rather than slag off Ali eh
@@nickycotton6137 The thing is for so long Macca thought he was The Beatles! (I’m a Merseysider!) And Ali left to go solo & called himself Ali Campbell & UB40 carried on, Ali couldn’t survive without the UB40 name so he used it for work, I worked at Vauxhall for nearly 20 years with promotion after promotion but illness hit, now I never say that I work at Vauxhall because I don’t despite what I achieved there , I volunteer around this area no longer working with cars as a job but I had to leave Vauxhall with a sad goodbye from myself & from the business so if I’m asked “You Still At Vauxhall?” the reality & reply is “No” just like is Ali Campbell still a member of UB40 no, And the courts have ruled “No”
And he did use Astros death as a bizarre sick selling point, Ali is finished!
Also watch 2019 Rottedam ali and astro then tell me he's bad. One of my favorite gigs what a show
That was five years ago, R I P Astro, Ali hasn't got the voice he used to have.
That show is shockingly bad. Sounds nothing like the real UB40 past or present. You're obviously not that knowledgeable about the bands original sound if that's your favourite gig footage.

Люблю тебя...
Ali is UB40 his own crew left him down ,keep it going Ali your the man
Great singer rubbish showman. Saw them in b'ham his hometown never spoke one word all night dreadful. Saw the other ub 40 last year much better show.
UB40 will never be the same without the originals! Ali voice is 1 of kind but it took the whole team that made UB40 who they are. I have to say with UB40 lead singer Matt the Hollywood is sounding really good looking forward to their tour 45. When it is the whole band it is magical there signature sound. Ali should not bag on UB40 to me that is insecurity! I will 4 ever be a UB40 fan 4 life I got to meet them all took photos with them signatures in fact Ali gave me & my wife plus 4 on the guess list to see them in the Greek theatre in Los Angeles we went invited some friends. Front row amazing time hung out in the back stage after. Many memories ☝🏽❤️🙏🏽
Look at Ali now! He's amazing on his own, jog on loser's.
Ali Campbell is the best, move forward. I did.🎉🎉🎉
lets not forget. it was ali who started UB40 the compensation money.. and matt doyle whos he.. he ain't UB40
@@SharonWineberg-ut6pr We'll soon see if these new singles sell as much as when Ali, Astro & Brian were there eh luv.
@@SharonWineberg-ut6pr You probably weren't even alive when UB40 were @ their peak. Wow you've seen the new 'line up' live. SO WHAT.

Ali's is the only singer for UB40!
I’ve never been a fan of this group.
So you are here because.....
I don’t like turnips.
Stole pretty much every song they recorded. Can’t stand them.
@@joansmith8215
No
They didn’t “steal” them.
They covered them and payed all due royalties I’m sure.
Do your homework bud they are respected by the people l UB40 have done a brilliant job of keeping all forms of Reggea alive for the music lovers
Hahaha🤣🤣You sad cyber bully. Say that to the 17,000 people that saw him in Birmingham the other day it was BRILLIANT. Hope that one day you find some happiness in your life, seeing that hating on a successful artist brings you joy.
Anyway BIG LOVE❤❤❤😂
Ali’s success since leaving those idiots behind speaks for its self . What a joke Robin and his group are, country and western songs 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
lol your very funny
It is very clear who is deluded in this scenario. How long are people going to pretend that one of the most distinctive voices in reggae can be replaced seamlessly? How many different lead singers have they tried since he left? Saw him at Rochester castle and he was great. Whatever the story is, I'm sticking with Ali.
Singing not bad musicians sound bit off to me 🤔
A bit? 🤣
Mate ali cambell is ub40
@@Mountainsandmusic8011 shit loads of people will go to see him

UB40 would’ve not been without Ali
Ali is not without the original UB40 band
Hey, at least we have the good albums
Both sound bad now
Ali is UB40
Never mind the slagging, sort ya shit out as life's too short and this situation isn't good for either one of ya, One love remember?
Every concert with Ali has been a sell out all over the world get a grip editing crap ... Ali Campbell is UB40 he created the group and bought the instrumenta with his compensation money
Hahahahahaha... Sorry, you really nade me laugh. If you only knew how many concerts have been cancelled because of the lack of ticket sales; And about the created and bought blabla, do your history.
E you're an embarrassment the way you edited this video, anyone who has seen Ali will see he's been brilliant....
