    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

    The sound of ub40 for me is Ali ... sadly neither are as great as ali and the original band

    Robin so your saying that ali Campbell is the karaoke band well do you want to tell me what astro and mickey vitue were as they were a big part of ub40 original band members and why did you not take over from ali when he left with mickey virtue in 2008 because you know that ali was the voice of ub40 without a shadow of a doubt we're in 2024 and even now you and your son still try to have a pop at ali for Frick sake robin Campbell move on and have you sold out any concert dates yet that's a no i take it well ali Campbell has just sold out his hometown of Birmingham and hes sold out his concert in Glasgow armadillo watching this interview made me cringe because you seem to forget about astro rip and mickey virtue and I tell you what ali and his band members are no karaoke group and the more I see you doing a interview the more a lot of us fans know that you can tell lies straight faced which means in Scotland your good at it as in lieing and watching the spoon player brother duncan Campbell hes a bit of a jackanory aswell and you and the 3 remaining original band members are for sure telling lies about what yous were up to with the management you chose over 3 of the original band members yous as in you earl brian travers norman hassan and jimmy brown were up to your necks in it but 1 thing ill give your band members is you all can lie and answer the question robin why did you not take over from ali when he left as you were meant to be the secondary vocalist so it would have made sence don't you think ? No you couldnt do it because your voice aint as good as the voice of UB40 ali Campbell and not the spoon playing brother duncan and I think its sad that after over 16yrs your still slagging off ali Campbell pathetic and tell the next person who does a interview with you that astro rip and mickey virtue were not a figment of the fans imagination lol

    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.

  • @shaunigothictv1003
    @shaunigothictv1003 3 года назад

    The basis of the Catholic faith is love and forgiveness according to the Catholics. Im so fucking glad that I am one of the very few Black blokes in the U.K that is NOT a Catholic. However, if what the Catholics state about their religion is true, then the Campell brothers should settle their bitter feud as that's what their Catholic faith teaches them. After all, the entire Campbell family lived and breathed two things - ROMAN CATHOLICISM and REGGAE MUSIC. Personally I dont give a fuck about Roman Catholicism - but they should use both their love of their faith and the love of their music to unite together. Incidently, they kept religion out of their music which was a wise choice. I hope they all re-unite again as Astro went off with Ali - so the split was even worse than Robin is telling you. As for their Catholic faith, I think that both Blacks and Whites can take their Catholic religion and shove it up their ass. I will say exactly the same about other organised religions too. They are all bullshit - but sometimes certain types of bullshit can be used in a tactical way to bind people together as long as those people share a common objective.

    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.
