keep up the good work. the lead singer is doing a good job, because he has taken over a hefty job from people who set the bar high. ..the show must go on.
In fact Duckie Simpson is NOT Black Uhuru, he sure deserves some credits for making the band last for so long, but B.U. is the result of several great musicians working together. Besides, let's be real, u can't just pretend Mykel Rose doesn't even mean anything, cuz Andrew Bees couldn't possibly suply "Mr. Black Uhuru". Duckie musta be on some dope for putting up with this guy's voice. I wish Mykel Rose would come back
Keys struggling to hold the right riddim, pattern and groove as he goes on and off and Sly isn't too happy early on. When you're not hearing the right bang it spoils everything.
You can't claim anybody WAS Black Uhuru but Simpson does get props for keeping it together although they've coasted for years. The glory years were with Puma and Rose, Sly, Robbie and the Revolutionaries. That was one of the best bands ever, any era, any genre. Reid wasn't horrible and they made some nice music. Brutal was OK. I lost interest when Puma had to quit. Without Rose and Puma it just wasn't the same. Seeing this I'm like WTF?? Guys's got great hair though.
Give credit where credit is due! 'Mykal Roze' is still the sound of Black Uhuru. The lyrics, the music, great. All it needs is Rose. (who wrote those lyrics?)
@Lionsklaive with all due respect, Sly & Robbie never make mistakes, these guys recorded over a million tunes already. You are talking about Reggae Music Twin Towers.
Sly and Robbie no sela creee ,este vocalista en serio que le falta o le faltaba mas trabajo creo que acapela y asi sin ensallar la canto mejor yo con sentimiento esta rolota los mejores, Don carlos and Mister Mchael Rose ,Sly and Robbie mejor as los coros jajajajaja
This Bees person is getting on my nerves seriously! Ruins my party every time I hear him. I find hard to believe that on Jamaica there is no better singer to sing along those legends on stage.
comprendo tu enojo asi me pasa con gondwana jajaja depues de ver buenos conciertos y despues kingo.. y ahora otro Dios mio santisimo que pasa con el reggae? jaja siempre exageramos un poco ..
Would it have killed them to have played something from "Red" on that live show? I was pretty dissapointed in the DVD due to the song selection. I thought they could've done much better. The singer isn't all that bad, definetly not a Rose, but he was ok. You can barely hear the female vocalist on this show, even though she is a smokin hot black woman! To sum this event up, it was nice to see Sly & Robbie, but it just makes me miss the original lineup even more, rather than take me back.
let l sum it all up yeah,,mickey rose from birmingham england,,long time uhuru fan..black uhuru is not black uhuru with out mykal rose puma jones and duckie simpson..
