That is NOT WAR! That is Lonnie Jordan and his tribute band. The heart and soul of WAR is now called the Lowrider Band and it's a shame what was done to them!
sal is one of the best drummers out there, very underated. this band is great. hired guns or not they are great. and f.y.i they are not from mexico, they are from los angeles
I Had the opportunity to see War in May of 2007, at the Capital Jazz Fest in MD. The Band was tight and and Lonnie put on a hell of a performance. Although, Lonnie is the original band member and many of the new members are from Mexico the quality of the music has not suffered because they are master musicians. I hope to catch them again.

Lonnie has seen many things that people Daydream about,if not for the love of the Music 1st we would not have any of these great tunes. Thanks Lonnie for what really counts....the Music.
Yep...only "the music" counts. Never mind that the other four surviving members of War aren't getting paid their royalties for the sale and performance of the music THEY created. Never mind that Charles Miller's kids are living on the street. Never mind that Lonnie likes to see "I'm the only one left" despite the Lowrider Band's existence. It's all about the music, right?
Too bad this isn't the "War" we all knew and loved. This is Lonnie Jordan and a bunch hired hands. Lonnie sold his 4 surviving bandmates OUT. They're still around, keeping the TRUE "War" sound alive as the Low Rider band (lowriderbanddotcom): Harold Brown, Lee Oskar, B.B. Dickerson, and Howard Scott.
WAR MY ASS! THIS IS LOSER JORDANS BAND!

He ruined the song with all that grandstanding. I've seen the real War.

Well, I'm glad someone else up here KNOWS WHAT'S UP! The truth is coming out slowly but surely, and people are beginning to figure things out.

I saw these guys in the seventies-they were the opening act for Issac Hayes during a thanksgiving weekend show. Man, it was a blast.
