[TAbigahil]

It´s got not that "something special"...need Ali...and Virtue back f course!

[tdouglaspainting]

Guy's got zero charisma, looks like somebody's dad.

[willhannay]

I't like a reasonalby good UB40 tribute band. Sorry Guys! I have been a fan for 26 years now and I just don't think this is workin....

[angelawnd]

Same here, been a fan since the beginning, and no one can replace Ali !

[sistasueakamilli]

Excellent. But it dont matter how u sing dis

song cos it aint bout da singin its bout da words an ridim, luv it doe, you dont get betta reggae dan this

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[posyanne64]

Fuck sake speak about treading on your brothers toes! This just smacks of money grabbin !!

[porkypeter]

I saw them in belfast in nov and yes they were shite !! they were supported by eddy grant who was class !

[cherylkedie]

everyone has told me how shite Duncan is but i dont think he's that bad now that ive heard him property - dont get me wrong, he certainly aint no Ali but he isnt doin bad at keepin the music of my life goin so i appreciate him just for that! i love UB40 and I love Ali

All doin a fantastic job guys

Keep it up!

[shyted987]

Seen them live at the M.E.N. last night, absolute shit they were, no interaction with the crowd at all, i was so dissapointed. Like watching a tribute band.

[jonannlou]

Been a fan for 30 years...disappointed that Ali decided to quit, but.....this lads not bad, give him a break, bit of time and experience and he'll do the boys proud. It's this or nothing - suppose you need to make a choice and listen or don't! Cheers. AM

[mariosmum]

and they think people are going to want to listen to this shite??? get real!! The only people they will have in their audience are their hangers on - all 6 of them - for free - retire with what little dignity you have left cos this sucks

[henryme13]

As usral people jump to what record company wants. I have been a fan. Even when I was ill, they have helpped me pull through will always play the old stuff. But can't be bothered. Please end with honor but for the money and not for the love of reggee music.thanks for the memories it time to end. You guys will always be in my heart, please don't break my heart end it.

[worldsopenedup]

i'd rather listen to a old tramp on a street corner than this shower of shite , duncal who?! christ just because hes alis brother don't mean he can sing .. which the guy proves! get ali back or just retire!

[thestigg01]

Do me a favour this is SHIT...................

[globercoms]

Ub40 sound fantastic, Robin and Duncan Campbell brilliant live, better and better, I have seen them and think they are the best I have ever seen UB40 in 20 years of going. Nice ones guys.

[thestigg01]

Oh come on lets have a row Wankers you got a lot to say when your slagging of ALI small weaners that you are .....................

[thestigg01]

Brian and jimmy are scum wankers of the earth they know what they have done so do the rest of them and their management thieving basterds ALI will blow them away like the tiny weaners they they are arse wipes...................

[bebbelke]

wat is ali zonder ub40

of ub40 zonder ali bring him back plaese

[thestigg01]

You think you can bully people gang up together tell people they got there facts wrong spout off about how your so great and every one els tell lies and bull shit and how your going to sort them out well go on then Monkey boys sort them out lets see some action ????????????????

[worldsopenedup]

duncan who? bring ali back!

[thestigg01]

Oh dear i see BT got some help on the BB, Boy is he going to need it what a bunch of lying wankers, They lost the day them and their management started stabbing Ali in the BACK what goes around comes around Karma as you put it your sins will find you out mnokey boys.

[2bno1]

wot a bloody circus its all an image thing bt

[thestigg01]

I see BT is up to his lying tricks again this man is mentally unstable you will be found out for the kind of slime ball you are as will the rest of your mugs,Ticket sale for your band of shysters are crap so dont lie.

[sleekychic]

Ive been a UB40 fan for 25 years, ive been to see them in concert laods of times and I helped cater one of the Glasgow Barrowlands concerts and spent the night at the holiday inn in Glasgow with the whole band and crew in the hotel lounge it was massive and a brilliant night and I can say right now that Duncan is a brilliant singer, he does sound like Ali but you can and will always be able to tell the difference, Ali WAS the heart of UB40, he was life and soul an it was him who started the band

[thestigg01]

How does Helena know Ali and ub40 wont get back together, They know why alright and so will we im sure its obvious they stitched Ali and Mickey up and when we find out their will be no hiding place the public will dam them, Sad Monkey boys.

[125or200px]

Where was this filmed ?

Wish i was there.

And before everybody starts arguing,im a UB40 fan,whoever is the lead singer,ok

[125or200px]

And i you close your eyes,can you tell its not Ali ? THOUGHT NOT

[thestigg01]

Grootings, Dish ish a crapish Groop onlysh likesh by gayish monkish dat ars creepeish gingerish theyish smellish eachish otherish arshis becauseish likeish shitish. for translation go to ub board.

[thestigg01]

The end is nigh by by ub40 and their management i hope Ali gets justice no more the GINGER ONE with his mindless rants, And the slimey Campbell brothers who stabbed Ali in the back BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

[jakestevens783]

good stuff from duncan!

[neilanddebbie]

ub40 r a class BAND u know band not singing to a tape like all the fucking shit in the charts now ,give ne of take thst a guitar anfd they r fuckd

[globercoms]

i think you may be looking at the Ali tickets, front 3 rows at all shows still available, not long to go

[Alirocksmyworld]

Ali was the heart of that band - and sales are crap don't believe the lies - 250 tickets at the O2 how crap is that??

[Alirocksmyworld]

UB40 have sold 250 tickets at the O2 - only another 14,750 to go

[jamiefrombrum]

rack off twat, thats why Alis tour got postponed another 12 months for shit sales and the NEC is nearly sold out with 13 months to go before the gig. You do the math.

[SDE2490]

i wish duncan would also play the guitar.

[thestigg01]

I think Duncan is ok but bt Hates him you can tell he is thinking OH no not another FUCKING Campbell perhaps that is why he championed Maxi and marvin?

Ali and the Dep band are much better.

Good luck to Duncan your going to need it with those treacherous people around you.

There is something dodgy going on with Duncans voice? you can tell?

[MonkeyPoo2008]

Duncan is AMAZING! <3

[SOUTHLONDONFORLIFE]

ali's voice isnt being sampled duncan is actually singing and at 4:52 duncan forgets a word and the voice you hear singing is robins

[tco88]

Get a life wongy you talk shit.

[Wongy20861]

shut up u fucking mug UB40 are good Duncan is good ur just a fucking dickhead who thinks is a know it all of course Ali was good but Duncan is good it was a big step he dun into UB40 and he has dun a very good job so shut the fuck up and listen to UB40

[Wongy20861]

This guy is excellent well done Duncan he sounds very similar to Ali but we miss Ali, but it is in Duncans blood as he is just as good as his brother UB40 still lives Long live UB40.

[Geraldinesrobin]

I find all this very sad and pathetic. It's one thing to have views on the aforementioned video clip.......that is what the site is about after all.....but to give insulting and vulgar comments to the people who are posting here is downright nasty!

Run along low life............

NEXT!!!!

[Helenaloonie]

it's obviously the same person posting under a few names here. don't like the fact it's getting very personal now though. shame they're too gutless to say what they have to say to peoples faces, or even under their real name.

[tco88]

My job is to know every thing, And i do, Who blows Turks,I thought it was Chippendales,

[Alirocksmeworld]

Yeah because your the expert tco88, Whats your job then that you know that.. wait for it folks

[tco88]

Who is playing Ali,s guitar part? Oh yeah it,s being sampled like his voice??????

[nepz2171]

lbt you are disgusting excuse for a human.... at least we think you are.....fyi no there was no singing of a ali voice over.....i should know i was there

[kathryn2804]

Oh here we go! :(

[starshineub40]

LBT did your mum never teach you any manners? For instance, if you can't say something nice, keep it zipped!

[curlysue1966]

Sicko grow up

[curlysue1966]

Sicko

[Lucijuice]

You are tooooooo damned funny for words. I wouldnt eat a burger when I got steak at home honey. Trust me... you are barking up the wrong tree- and you know it. Hahhahahahahaa

[Lucijuice]

Ahh my old racist friend LBT...

Oh wait. You think that everyone who isnt a musician is 'Common muck'.... NOW I know who you are fpmsl

Still not sure why your so obsessed with me working for Wetwetwet tho- did u really fancy Marti all along then? lol I'll put in a good word for u if u want :-D

[tco88]

Get over it! case proven "boring" move on

[Alirocksmeworld]

ah hurting is it tco88, glad to see you have reached your obvious vocabulary. go on speak your mind, we've all go 3 seconds to spare.

[tco88]

Fuck me you still argue,ing over this sampled performance i would change your name Alirocksmeworld,To something more appropriate who are you BT,s mum, i got a name for you BTISMYLIFE there you go all sorted now shut the fuck up.

[Lucijuice]

Whys that then- who died and made you ruler of You Tube lol

Not sampled. I was there. Now its sorted! Run along now...

[Alirocksmeworld]

Take no notice of Alirocksmyworld, this person is a bitter fool. Hates the fact that UB40 have continued, would prefer that all their office staff and crew lost their jobs. Hates any success that UB40 has and sleeps with a sick bowl next to the bed seeing all the huge shows Ub40 are doing, how sad and nasty.

[striaght2thepoint]

I honestly think with time and support duncan will do justice to singing all the ub40 songs guys he's just walked in give me time, its good norman suggested to the other member's to bring duncan in good choice all round!!!

[Alirocksmyworld]

and in the meantime people will be parting with good money and getting .... THIS in return - what a rip off

[striaght2thepoint]

i suppose u do have a point fella i mean i do think ali has the golden voice and without him ub40 will have a avoid in there band forever!!!

[mollyds]

im a HUGE fan of ub40 and a HUGE fan of Ali and Robin and i would go see both ub40 and Ali in concert but sorry to say go to 4.52 of this recording and you can clearley see that Duncan is singing over Ali's voice as he miss sings a word here, anyway best of luck Duncan as it must been nerve wricking suddenly been a lead singer from Tracey

[Alirocksmyworld]

4.52 - CHECKED IT OUT - SPOT ON

[Alirocksmeworld]

Thanks for the compliment texplastics, I am sure the band will appreciate it Duncan too, To know that people think Ali is there when he is not is a huge, HUGE compliment I am sure. Wow thanks

[texplastics]

to shannon, he doesnt sound like a young ali your fooling yourself, if you know ub40 like i do, sometimes they do put in their own music from a recording and play it, and i think to help duncan they have put alis voice in the background. You can say what you like ive heard this version before duncan is singing but so is ali.

[Lucijuice]

Texplastics, we could go back and forth on this all day and night, but I am absolutely telling you Ali is not on that recording. I know this for fact. Complete, 100% fact. I could even get you the mixing desk tape of this and strip it down for you. It is Robin Campbell not Ali, you can hear behind Duncan.

[texplastics]

duncan is singing over alis voice, i can hear ali, been a fan for over 30 years heard every version of food for thought. Ali is defo singing.

info co fan from back in the day.

[shannon09432]

haha no he really isnt i saw them live with duncan leading and he sounds jus like a young ali and he was not lip reading for shit

[rebeccad66]

He sounds nothing like a young Ali btw where did you see them live?

[jojobrad]

Duncan is a very good singer, however its really not the same without Ali and I dont think Id go see them again in concert.

[curlysue1966]

You can only judge if you go and see them live. They are just as brilliant. Believe me.

[shannon09432]

trust me jojo i thought the same until i saw y

them at newbury and they were incredible if anything better honest ub for life

[Allybongo2000]

Alirocksmiworld ...... uare such a wierdo ..u first agree with people and then u slag them off ....sort urself out !!! first u say Duncan is crap ...then u say he is good ...get a grip man ....Duncan has taken Ali's place ...END OF ...get used to the fact !

[Alirocksmiworld]

1) hi Allybongo2000.please can i say sorry for the confusion.I understand what the problem is.you have confused me with 'AlirocksMYworld' we are 2 different people.AlirockMYworld is a viscious low class cretin who constantly attacks Duncan & ubs but I am AlirockMIworld.

[Alirocksmiworld]

dare you to go say that to BT you coward.i know he would bitch slap you like the cock sucking bitch you are.dirty scared little coward.i would love to see bt show you what hes made of you chicken f***er.

[Alirocksmiworld]

I have to say UB40 are getting better.saw them in holland 2 weeks ago.they rocked the place out,dare i say even better than when ali was singing.he seemed to have lost it the last few years,not very good at all.i started to feel he was just singing for the moolah.made me feel grubby to tell the truth.love the new ub40.long live ub40.

[blondie2000uk]

ur welcome allybongo

[Allybongo2000]

cheers blondie2000uk glad someone else has seen Duncans talent and Brians leadership x

[blondie2000uk]

hav to agree with allybongo2000 brill wot else can u say ....

[Boydchenko]

OMG...i thought that was Ali singing there!!!

He won't be missed too much now...

[Allybongo2000]

would just love to reply to Lucyblowstarks comment ...Call yourself a UB40 fan ?? WTF u on about ?? ....Duncan is a fantastic replacement for Ali ....he has the looks of Robin and the voice of Ali ....and Brian is a great leader ...LONG LIVE UB40 !!!!

[curlysue1966]

Brilliant. Been a fan for 28 years. Great to see UB40 haven't crumbled after Ali left. Duncan looks to be doing just fine especially for his first live gig.Brian Travers is a gentleman and an excellent song writer.He even wrote songs for Ali's album Running Free. Didn't he?

[zionweedjah]

you all sound like u have been ub fans for a month wise up they did us proud stayin together for as long as they did i will just keep the memories and listen to the original band through all the albums they have given us its like mince withoot the tatties

[Jackieloonie]

DuncX, you stole my heart!! I think you are amazing.Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!1

[Alirocksmeworld]

I did not see him there, but fantastic Duncan you sound fantastic, So many compliments sounding like the great Ali in such short time too.. Looking forward to this years shows.

[Alirocksmeworld]

Thanks for the great compliment texplastics, imagine then Duncan after so many years, IMAGINE, he has indeed done great job, UB40 have loads of shows this year, so check them out, Ali is playing too in Trentham Gardens with Human League, so you have best of both

[texplastics]

ive heard ub40 for many years now, and i do think it might be his voice you can hear, it sounds like ali is still there and this version is a version ive heard b4

[Alirocksmyworld]

Ali is in the building ...

[Alirocksmiworld]

is it an empty building same as the gigs he has just cancelled cos he could only sell tickets to you and your and your 3 ugly mates?time to retire fat phoney.RAH was crap.ub40 made him look good not other way round.

[Alirocksmiworld]

you are scum lucyblowsturks.

[Helenaloonie]

why the hell would they sample ali's voice? and if they did don't you think he'd sue the pants off them? 

p.s. lucyblowsturks you're obviously an ali lover who can't bear to see ub40 doing well. well you better get used to it cuz it's obvious they aint going anywhere.

[lovelylinky13]

I dont think you really need to get your point over by being so rude. Brian has always been an excellent sax player who cares what colour his hair is? Duncan is doing vocals because Ali left, give him a chance and hes not ugly. Robin can sing as much as he likes he has a great voice. See how you can get your view across without being rude!!

[steveuk07]

keep up the good work lads. can you send the free tickets for expo that you promised lol.

[curlysue1966]

This song blows me away. I get goosebumps listening to it. Duncan nailed it. I miss Ali but Duncan was just as good.

T

[dazaro3]

Now UB40 have gone UP!! one gear!, go on you Brum lads ,you R the best R band in the UK,Duncan can take them up one more step,back to the mega 80s.

[bytheway2001]

Duncan you made this song yours and dropped a few jaws with the opening of this gig. Well done mate you deserve all the credit...Cheers John

[Alirocksmeworld]

I am sure Duncan and the band will appreciate your compliment Eggburt as Ali is indeed a great singer. But I was there, there was no Ali I am afraid. But thanks for appreciating the quality of the voices

[seahorsea1]

Brilliant, our boys live on!!!!!

Duncan you have done a great job.

[nepz2171]

alis voice is not there, its all duncan

[eggburt61]

Oh dear robinsgal i put it like that so you would understand, simple,

[nicolar26]

blommin great harmonieson this track......always one of my old faves - nic x

[Robinsgal]

Too funny. The voice being pulled in and out of the track, as you put it, is Robin harmonizing (live) with his brother Duncan. If you listen to the original track, he does it there too, but with Ali.

[nepz2171]

nice duncan...very nice

[roxylovesali]

The man that is this band is Ali Campbell. I sure miss him

[eggburt61]

Oh dear we are getting our knickers in a twist you only have to listen to the song, you cant make it up it is there you can hear ali,s voice, being pulled in and out of the track, let other people make up there minds and listen,just turn it up,

[shakeeloo7]

the saxophonist reminds me of Mr Incredible in Mr. Incredible! lol! they look the same!

[Alirocksmiworld]

hey you shakeeloo you an eggburt is a cuople of chavs.cowards.you wud get mashed up if you said that to bt you chicken chavs.hiding in shadows like the filth you are.

[Allybongo2000]

whatever ...........

this comment comes from Alirocksmiworld and not AlirocksMYworld ....can u explain ???

[ub4038]

love them love them love them forever and ever!!!!

Go UB40 Go

xxxxxxxxxxxxAnjaxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

(ok Luci?)hihi

[Lucijuice]

Way to go UB40! What a great opening number that was! Looks like you're here to stay... :-)

Excellent footage Matt...

Lx

[Robinsgal]

eggburt, have an opinion yes, but you are so wrong.. to say they have sampled Alis vocals- that is a downright lie! You clearly dont know what you are talking about, so I suggest you dont try and make up things you dont understand- you just make yourself look like an idiot!

[bytheway2001]

UB40 are back and here to stay for another 30 years....Gig up to Duncan....Cheers Lads....John

[Alirocksmeworld]

I was there. Incredible, What a night

[eggburt61]

Of course he is going to sound a bit like ali they have sampled ali,s voice you can hear it on food for thought and others,ali,s guitar parts are there as well?.

[justbianca40]

They are FANTASTIC...AMAZING!!!! Duncan & Tony you guys doing a fantastic job...and ofcourse as always the oldies too. ;) ;) ;)

[cockneydfu]

brilliant

roll on brentwood and docklands

[Allybongo2000]

I think that Duncan sounds good ....... sounds like Ali ...looks like Robin ...so all the qualities are there ....good luck Duncan UB40 lives on !!

[curlysue1966]

Sounds similar to Ali - not Ali though he's Duncan isn't he? Can't believe this guy singing. It's his FIRST live gig? Must have been so nervous. Things can only get better. ub40 obviously not down and out since Ali's departure.

[agonyuncle]

alis retired ...fair play to him...duncans gonna carry thegroup thru...and ill buy the next album too

[UB40gek]

Ali isnt retired! he's going solo, I'm going to see him in Edinburg :D

[romanyboy61]

fair play to duncan and the rest of the guys at the end of the day life goes on they still sound great.

[Alirocksmyworld]

oh dear

[UB40gek]

Try to sound like Ali does not make you Ali, Rodin and Ali: Remember blood is thicker then wine

[jahmekya32]

Duncan is also "blood" of Robin and Ali, that's why he's not trying to sound like Ali, but just does in a way...I don't think he wants to be Ali...

[cockneydfu]

i dont think he is trying to sound like Ali

he is singing the song as he has heard it for the last 30 years

as for blood being thicker than wine ....Duncan is both Ali's and Robin's (not Rodins)brother so there will be simularities

unfortunately Ali left

UB40 re-grouped and they sound great IMO

[Alirocksmyworld]

You having a laugh??

[splodge13]

why does everyone keep saying 'big love' speak english you fools.

[jahmekya32]

He Splodge...

Big love is a song from Ali...that's why UB40/Ali fans say "big love",

Big love to you too....

[carlene80]

nice one matty!!!!! seriously can't get over how much duncan sounds like Ali!!! Just awesome to hear them sounding their best ever!!!

Big luv

Carlene

[Dwergkonijn73]

Unbelieveable!

His voice sounds like Ali's voice!

Absolutely great!

[PielieChicken]

Its very nice to see the 1st recording with

a decent quality on youtube.

Duncan sounds good but i will miss Ali forever.

He had so much emotion in his voice, thats what i really miss now.

Still i wish all the luck to UB40 and hope

Duncan will grow like his brother.

[sweetchillia]

well I hope this will shut up all the non believers, Duncan is a star! You sound better than ever boys and I cant wait to see you down under again XXXXXXXX Wendy XXXXXXXXXXX

[CARYNTHECRINKLY]

Wicked Mr Matt....

Duncan you are THE NEW LEAD SINGER OF UB40....Totally awesome...I'm still on a high from Tuesday....see you in Amsterdam on Sunday & Tuesday...or maybe before!!!!

Big Love Caryn xxxxxx homelygal1963

[tandycat]

After a shaky start Matt, you did a great job!

Thanks so much for posting this! UB40 continue to bring great music to the world, while handling themselves with class, dignity, and humour. LONG MAY THEY PLAY!

Duncan sounds fantastic, looks a little nervous, but can't blame him for that! No worries Messrs, Campbell and Mullins-- you have been accepted into the family of loonie brothers and sisters---WELCOME!
