@@shaunigothictv1003 Thanks for the response. I had the opportunity of watching both UB40 acts live so I come from a unique perspective. But in all reality I wish they would make amends and reunite before more band members pass on. Life is too short. RIP Astro n Brian Travers...
Without Ali there is no UB40 he is the original lead and voice....when I watch a UB40 video all I look at or listen to is Ali I don't notice anyone else....they seem jealous of thier brother to me
without alis voice..UB40 would have started in the pubs and would never have left ..lol..just bein real..he made them HITS what they are..credit to the musicians and everyone else that are UB40..ali is like the jam centre in a cream donut..the twist in a cocktail, the extra chilly in a curry..you get what i mean..lol..you cant replace a voice, a vibe..just try to ..bless up
First of all, let me say I really hate that it has come to this! Ali was and still is the voice of UB40, but to say that he is bitter, hell I would be bitter as well considering how things went down with them. I don't understand how they can sit there an act like they don't miss Ali! When they were together, there music was like magic. I don't know what this is they have now!!!
Yes, you're right on all counts - very sad. It's all a facade (and not a very good one) as you can see the obvious hurt in Robin's face when asked if he thought they'd ever sing together again; I felt his pain when he said, "No", while shaking his head - he blinked slowly, then pursed his lips to the right. Body language gives him away - he's heartbroken. Ali must feel the same, after all, they're brothers. Sad, indeed.
Asta ism I agree!! Robin knows that a terrible mistake was made here!! Duncan betrayed Ali along with the others, I believe they could have possibly fixed this if it hadn't got so messy!!
Well, never say never, eh? Would be great to see them solve issues and begin to mend their broken hearts. The band was their life's dream come true; to see it end this way, and to destroy a family bond in the process is beyond tragic; an egregious error. I send love and healing vibes to the Brothers Campbell, to the band members, and to all the fans who've experienced emotional shock by the traumatic event - including those of the past 7 years. Life is precious/fleeting; look at the big picture, Brothers! Hoping for better days ahead. Love & Light!
How can he sit there staring into space sucking his dentures and say that they're carrying on being ub40? They're destroying what ub40 used to stand for. Thank god Ali Astro and Mickey are repairing the damage!
I don't understand how they can say Ali is the karaoke version coz I listened to his new single & guess what it was the old UB40 sound.......Brilliant!
Rob Flake Ali started UB40 over 30 years ago! He wants to salvage its good name before its run into the ground. Completely understandable, and I wish him the best. Light and Love, Ali!
Without ali you wouldnt be where you are today he is and always will be the voice of UB40 no matter how many brothers you try and bring to replace him, never gomna happen. You are the fake UB40 and always will be. Big love to ali
Ali is so bitter & resentful that he couldn't even attend the funeral of his old pal Brian Travers. Ego & greed ripped them apart & both bands are greatly diminished! Ali now finds himself solo.
I think it's a shame they split up but me personally I would go and see both brands because as far as I'm concerned there UB40 to me it makes no difference one is not better than the other their both brilliant Ali and Duncan
aww Rob how can you say that I honestly am gutted god bless dunc he will never replace ALI big shoes to fil, turned up to my first ub40 concert to find dunc sing really disappointing I hate to say it I enjoyed the supporting act more xxxx
how can Robin say ali more is the karaoke band, what stupid comments! Errr and to say Ali is the only part of ub40?? So Mickey and Astro were never in the band? no?? must have imagined that then!! LOL If i had their ub40 and the real ub40 put in front of me i know who i would want to listen to!! Duncan cant even sing live and Robins always been a crap singer anyway! TEAM ALI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jimmy Brown (the drummer with the plastic kit) is crying like a little girl on his forum saying "Ali has always been a liar". I wonder why Jimmy kept his seat warm for 30 years then. Hypocrite don't you think? He's also saying Duncan is the honest brother. So that's why Duncan didn't hesitate to replace Ali, his own brother? I would feel betrayed too. Jimmy calls everyone who agrees with him "smart" or "not stupid". These discussion tactics say more about him than the "stupids". It's just a good sign Jimmy is still complaining. Shows they're really feeling it right now. Just hold on Ali, Astro & Mickey, it's a matter of time :-)
UB40 Archive Jimmy has some nerves!!! Ur success comes off the voice of Ali Campbell!!! Duncan is the liar and the hypocrite, he tells Ali to leave the band then joins right after!!!
haha. whatever! Jimmy is an absolute legend! I saw a you tube video of Ali saying good luck to Duncan and UB40 and he was going to carry on solo. so why does Ali feel betrayed!
UB40 live & info Jimmy has got to be the biggest hypocritical piece of she-at I have heard! I've been on the BB and fc bk with him Brian and Mrs Travers lol, man they three love to tap away a lot of hypocrisy; so they do. little drummer boi? why did u stay with Ali for all that time, and feel the hate u have boiling up in urself. u sir are a shit bag. join the #sisters and feck off.
There is a new album out soon, its not karaoke, its not even country its pure class and its reggae :-) UB40 (Ali Campbell) - Silhouette (Brand New Single 2014)
Rob Flake you talking shit again Rob! You must have been at the corn exchange and gone deaf. Ali's album silhouette and his NEW live album sounds just like UB40 sounded in the old days. I suggest you get your ears suringed, and stop tapping those spoons, your giving us all a headache!! 😊
You're talking crap - Duncan Campbell is a pub singer at best (and that's being kind). He has destroyed UB40's sound. Robin Campbell should sing lead more now (his great lead vocal on Mr Fixit demonstrates that)- get rid of the deadwood (Duncan). Ali, Astro & Mickey are now the real UB40. Sad but true.
"Duncan has enabled us to go on as UB40" Wow, they really don't love their own music. Should have taken a professional Reggae singer! Ali & Astro are the real UB40. Instruments are the same.
Rob Flake Ali IS UB40.. any asshole can pick up an instrument and play reggae in a few months, it aint exactly Rocket science. A voice is unique. and Duncan is a fucken karaoke singer. Get some fucken hearing aids
Blah blah blah zzzzzz.. you must love watching a cover band fronted by a karaoke singer aye, what happened to their album when Duncan became lead singer? it FLOPPED. Once Ali left, it was over.. they should either retire or beg Ali to join him like Astro did. Why do u think Astro went back? hes got a brain. Maybe you should read why Ali left in the first place.
It took Ali 6 years to realize no fuckers knows who is is without out the UB40 name,,if you think Ali dep band are a patch on Ub40 then your living in cockoo land, your just an Ali fan, what happen to him when he left Ub40 ,,nothing he bomb ,no one knew his name he thought he was going to be a big hit as a solo artist ,, lol
At the end of the day, Ali's backing band isn't the UB40 we all grew up on, and Duncan definitely isn't the voice we grew up on!! The key is,as a band you can develop a sound as long as you have the voice with the band! UB40 doesn't have that voice with Duncan, but still has the musicianship from the other original guys we all grew up on! Duncan needs to stick to Labour of LOVE 4 tunes and Getting Over the Storm tunes!! As a band Robin u have carried on with those tunes but all the songs Ali made famous Duncan sounds terrible singing those songs and Robin knows it!!
Lol... Who sung the songs first??? Ali is the original singer who sung all the hits!! It's his voice and his sound that makes UB40!! Ali's brother is singing the songs Ali recorded first so thats a tribute. They may have the name but your not seeing or hearing the REAL thing!! God bless Astro. RIP. Ali must go on... Both icons!!
How can people put down UB40? UB40's music has been so influential in music that other artists have duplicated UB40's music for their own remixes as well as artists want UB40 to remake their hits? (Neil Diamond always appraised UB40 at his concert and tries to duplicate Red Red Wine like UB40!) A group so influential in DUB and Remake, doesn't need opinions from the penny jar! :)
I wished people would stop bringing up Ali, he's a ************ who clearly thought the grass was greener on the other side... Ali has gone,finshed and doing his own thing (not very good I might add).. Ducan is part of the ub40 legacy now so deal with it... I'm looking forward to a ub40 album but not lookibg forward to any bickering that may follow from both sides... Robin seems to be the only one who can answer a question without sounding bitter or insultive... Great interview, enjoy the rest of a very successful year...
You can deal with it, like the small group of fans on their forum but most people just want Ali & Astro when going to a UB40 gig. Nobody knows Duncan and he isn't a professional singer, he doesn't sound like one. You can think of Ali what you want, it doesn't change the fact most people will always recognize Ali's voice as the true UB40 sound. The improved UB40 with Ali & Astro has a bright future ahead. New album, a live album and unplugged stuff coming up. Can only be done with professional singers.
I honestly can't watch Duncan try to sing any of UB40's back catalogue of songs! I cringed when I watched him last doing a track? It would be honest to say that he is murdering the songs. If it was labour of love Vl or G,O,T,Storm aye fine? But I have to be real in what I am hearing and murder fits.
Haven't seen this interview before... Deep respect for Robin and Duncan, their family and UB40. All the shit they have to go through and still going strong... Wow!!!!
Duncan leave? The back catalogue of the band u said wouldn't work to the professionals! Sing what u did u shame of a big brother. Its expected of Robin to be a bob a job? After all what he says goes? Init.
Es una pena que ali , demérito el talento de sus hermanos robin y duncan diciendo que son un karaoke , la voz de duncan no le pide nada a la voz de ali, pues por si ali por su egoísmo , no se ha dado cuenta que son casi idénticas, ojalá un día Ali, termine con todo ese coraje que por la comparación que hizo de sus hermanos con un karaoke se ve que tiene hacia ellos, termine un día y se reconcilie con ellos, pues la familia está antes que nada, los demás se van un día pero los hermanos ni muertos dejan de ser hermanos, me encantan ub cuarenta formado por robin y duncan igual que ali.
i think Duncan and robin should sort their differences out. life to short to fall out .what you going to do if ail wins the court .case you wont be able to sell tickets under ub40. a lot of people are confused having 2 bands .with the same name .you will be fucked, sort it out before its to late lets have 1 ub40 with all the members from the start of the band
i really dont know how duncan could have stabbed his brother in the bank like that it's a real shame. and when they ask robin if there is a chance he would sing with ali again duncan jumps in and answers first, i dont think it's likely.......grrr, maybe not thanks to you. robin at least looked a little sad, duncan just looked smug.
Second, if you had have backed Ali with the Mugs that Ali went on about, Management, u no who they are? duncan would still be a bit of a spare plank in the Queen Vic.
Ali will always be the face of UB40 ,robin his brother will never e UB40 and I wouldn't by tickets to see them ,as far as I'm concerned they ain't a reggae band
great interview, so right Ali isnt ub40, any reggae fan knows reggae starts with the drum and bass, the riddim is all what its a bout not the lead singer , check the great reggae bands of the past , the lead singer change but the music was the same only one ub40
Ali cambell is ub40 and ub40 is not ub40 with out him sorry guys I no u all was a band as ub40 but not now with out him wish u all just make frends be done with it life to short forgiveness is a healer

Alí and astro is UB40 period!!
UB40 are the 8 original members , nothing more...nothing less.
How can he sit there staring into space sucking his dentures and say that they're carrying on being ub40? They're destroying what ub40 used to stand for. Thank god Ali Astro and Mickey are repairing the damage!
Well said Annette
I don't understand how they can say Ali is the karaoke version coz I listened to his new single & guess what it was the old UB40 sound.......Brilliant!
It sure does Loz
if Ali is that good , why does he need the UB40 name, maybe its because he cant make it without the name,
Rob Flake Ali started UB40 over 30 years ago! He wants to salvage its good name before its run into the ground. Completely understandable, and I wish him the best. Light and Love, Ali!

No Ali Campbell..... No UB40
UB40 without Ali is like a ship on the high seas without a captain. I have followed group since 1980 and have every album out upto 2003.
Ali without UB40 is a captain without a ship.
The voice of a band is what I listen to anyone can back a band ALI AND ASTRO ARE THE VOICES OF UB40 END OF
The previous comments say it all!
No Ali Campbell No UB40
Ali is and will always be ub40
Your not a karaoke band, don't make me laugh, Duncan sounds terrible
Ub40 sorry ali Campbell
Is a brillant singer
Nobody can replace him
Fact
That why ali astro are far superior then you
Fact
His Backing band is better than Yours for one you don't need Ear Plugs to listen to them ALI Is UB40 end of............
his band isnt ub40 doesnt sound like Ub40 sounds like what they are a backing band
I do like silhouette though, good song...

first lie, duncan doesn't try to sound like Ali. yeah he does.! he try's to do all the soop soup Ali sings? Ali's trade mark.
no disrespect to Robin and Duncan, But ali Always had the best voice in the band. His voice is something special.
Its such a shame that Ali isn't in the band anymore but, things happen in family's and you move on. I think all of UB40 are fab.
Ali is ub40 its like a well without water
He definitely is not the karaoke version if it wasn't for him there wouldn't be UB40 and definitely wouldn't be where they are now
Support music not rumors 😎
Tap tap away
Duncan leave? The back catalogue of the band u said wouldn't work to the professionals! Sing what u did u shame of a big brother. Its expected of Robin to be a bob a job? After all what he says goes? Init.
Not sure how Ali can be a karaoke version of himself. Surely Duncan is a karaoke version of Ali
Es una pena que ali , demérito el talento de sus hermanos robin y duncan diciendo que son un karaoke , la voz de duncan no le pide nada a la voz de ali, pues por si ali por su egoísmo , no se ha dado cuenta que son casi idénticas, ojalá un día Ali, termine con todo ese coraje que por la comparación que hizo de sus hermanos con un karaoke se ve que tiene hacia ellos, termine un día y se reconcilie con ellos, pues la familia está antes que nada, los demás se van un día pero los hermanos ni muertos dejan de ser hermanos, me encantan ub cuarenta formado por robin y duncan igual que ali.
Duncan wannabe Ali campbell
i think Duncan and robin should sort their differences out. life to short to fall out .what you going to do if ail wins the court .case you wont be able to sell tickets under ub40. a lot of people are confused having 2 bands .with the same name .you will be fucked, sort it out before its to late lets have 1 ub40 with all the members from the start of the band
barry lee you mean ali and robin? i dont think duncan and robin have differences
ub40 is a icon to reggae hurry up and make another album so can play it loud in my car
What a joke ALI is ub40 always has been always will be.... U are not ub40 without Ali and astro!
Without Ali and Astro, its a cover band...
Brotherly love, eh.
Duncan is not a good singer that's a fact.....
They are now karaoke sorry but Duncan v poor
The sound of ub40 for me is Ali ... sadly neither are as great as ali and the original band
na your the karaoke version, sorry
The public have decided. ...Ali does big gigs Duncan does little gigs end off............
i really dont know how duncan could have stabbed his brother in the bank like that it's a real shame. and when they ask robin if there is a chance he would sing with ali again duncan jumps in and answers first, i dont think it's likely.......grrr, maybe not thanks to you. robin at least looked a little sad, duncan just looked smug.
Was the stabbing in NatWest, or Metro bank?

Great interview guys.
My mom was a Roberts! Scottish / Irish!? Big luv to U and UB!

What about the song? 'Reggae Music' ? No disrespect Earl? The friendship come first # the band they come second??? And???????
Second, if you had have backed Ali with the Mugs that Ali went on about, Management, u no who they are? duncan would still be a bit of a spare plank in the Queen Vic.
Ali will always be the face of UB40 ,robin his brother will never e UB40 and I wouldn't by tickets to see them ,as far as I'm concerned they ain't a reggae band
great interview, so right Ali isnt ub40, any reggae fan knows reggae starts with the drum and bass, the riddim is all what its a bout not the lead singer , check the great reggae bands of the past , the lead singer change but the music was the same only one ub40
***** Ali is just a singer , his backing band are pish,
Rob flake you can't sing
Ali cambell is ub40 and ub40 is not ub40 with out him sorry guys I no u all was a band as ub40 but not now with out him wish u all just make frends be done with it life to short forgiveness is a healer
I think music can be played or copied farely close but the voice of Ali no one can... plus Duncan is a terrible singer thats not even close to Ali.
