Was Bob Marley greater than Peter Tosh? Kindly watch and find out in this episode of Reggae Gist Xtra. #petertosh #bobmarley #reggae #dancehall #blackuhuru #reggaeartist
Joseph hill said it well.. "every soldier is important in the struggle and there's no need to compare coz it's no competition"- 2005 Joseph Hills Interview.
Apprecialove 🙏👏🙏❤💛🖤💚🇯🇲🌎 My concern is some misrepresentations in your documentary from all accounts. Our teacher, Joe Higgs, wrote Steppin Razor. You left Joe Higgs out of this, Reggae Gist. Joe Higgs, the 4th Wailer. Joe was a tireless commander and directed, fathered, mentored them. He opened his yard in Trenchtown to them and many other Rastafari and fed them and coached them. Wailing Souls and Marcia Griffiths can tell you more. 'Don't watch my size, I'm dangerous." After many battles for his intellectual property, Joe won finally. The judge focused on the two gentlemen's heights. Peter Tosh, off his unicycle, was over 6 feet tall, and Joe was barely over 5 feet. Why would a tall person sing those words when his size is already intimidating alone! Roger Steffens knew them all well. Please examine Joe Higgs' role in more depth. I am not sure about autoreader. It is often incorrect. Love the rest, but Peter was forced to recognize Joe's property by court order. Joe suffered. Blessed love, keep shining. Looking forward to the biopic. Stephen Raggamuffin Marley aka Ragga, added Joe's anthem, "There's A Reward," to his phenomenal new album, OLD SOUL. It is an accoustic nyabinghi version. Just lovely and healing. Backbto the other Joseph, Joseph Hill, he was remarkable and warm and welcoming as were his musicians in Culture Band. Kenyatta is extraordinary.

No need to compare these 2 Great Giants.......They gave us the world, although they're no more with us they're still in our hearts and we still listen to their music🙏🙏🙏......Greetings from Ghana👍👍👍
Peter represents the rebellious spirit of a revolutionary , I see him in the same breath as Marcus Garvey, Malcom x , Steve Biko. Marley just appealed to the white market.
Bob was greater... commercially, not afraid to say that. Peter was the exact opposite of the easy going island boy image of Bob and therefore had a different fan base, not as great as Bob but just as dedicated! There was room at the table for both of them and they got their fill...
Peter was truly extremely militant and unwavering in his beliefs. Bob wanted to reach the masses and I respect that too. Someone once compared Bob to MLK and Peter to Malcolm X although I believe Bob had a lot of Malcolm in him as well. He was just more palatable and that’s just the truth. Love them both.
They both were Deep and had messages for the multitudes. I was raised listening to them both so for me they were both genius in all the music they made, with that being said I get a message from each and they were both great at their Art so neither is better than the other but Both are Great.
I love Tosh raw approach to everything he never compromise real living walking fireball respect Marley for all his contributions but honestly Peter is personal to l
@anthonyclarke2538 maybe that's part of the problem. Some people give Bob less credit because he's half-white. Ironic, considering Jamaica's motto, "out of many, one people."
@amosmukuka, grow faster like Marley?? At the end of the day, tosh and marleys body of work is there to prove who the better man is, and Bob Marley is clearly the better man with more hits by far.
@@greun Marley had sold more records, a bigger indicator as to who is better. He is more popular globally. Marleys music is more soulful and intectually stimulating than anything Peter Tosh put out. Marleys music has depth and did a better fussion of reggae and rock that makes for a successful cross over of the reggae genre to international audience. Marleys impactful songs of freedom and social justice is such that the United nations honoured him with the peace medal of freedom. Marleys funeral in 1981 in Jamaica is the biggest ever of any celebrity on that island, an indicator of how respected he was as an artist and a human being both at home and abroad. His success was not handed to him freely. It is based on talent and hard work. That you re here attempting to show that Peter tosh is as relevant as Bob Marley shows who the standout super star is between both artist: that person is Bob Marley. The world had spoken because of his body of work.
@@sundayaito4366 thanks for your answer .In my opinion , Peter Tosh is heavy underrated Especially here in the West. Marley sold way more records that's true but doesn't say he's better than Tosh I think that Tosh his songs have more depth and meaning. I respect Marley and I love his music but Tosh is the legend in my opinion. But maybe it's just a matter of taste . Peace
We do not need these types of comparisons. Peter, Bob, and Bunny are cornerstones. They needed to be together for a time and they needed to be apart for individual growth.
Everything needs at least 3 legs pon di ground to stand stable... they should've treated each other with more respect while they were still alive. Not saying that splitting up was wrong... they were strong and very different characters. But it was this "I am more... than you" that started the separation in a spiritual way. And the influence from outside. Nothing inside those 3 friends.
I liked them all when they were together. I still love them even after they have parted. I listen to both of them. And the two of them complement each other
KING BOB MARLEY AND NEGUST PETER TOSH ARE BOTH TWO GREATS GENIUS. JAH RASTAFARI BLESSINGS AND UNITY NO DIVISION. I AND ARE ONE, ONE LOVE, ONE FAMILY. RASPECT. RKK.
They were Also spiritual prophet and poet and they spread the message though their Music peace love and lively and justice for all and Equal right for all human beings ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉 the world's world's super stars we will love them for ever Peter Bob Bunny for ever
Great Bob Marley great but did not come from the world Peter and his ancestors come from so peter‘s message was more touching to under privileged people of this planet but then 2 great human beings ❤❤❤
Feel the message igot ur point it really make sense we can’t compares everything we have to remind that situation things wasn’t like the way it is long live Peter n Marley you both did a great job to the whole entire world
Great loss to the world. They were two great men. I love Bob BUT do not understand why he did not strongly disapprove IF IF IF he did not like the name Bob Marley & the Wailers. He had the power to do so and to me that is telling. Peter had every right to feel anyway about it. I love Both but like Malcolm and Martin Luther King, I go for the Man who projects UNAPOLOGETIC BLACKS LOVE AND POWER. TOSH forever and Jamaica should not forget to give him his due.
Am of the same opinion, I always ask why if it wasn't Bob's choice and aspiration, didn't Bob disapprove or object the idea of Bob Marley and The wailers? I strongly smell a rat in this issue
@melvynwilliams1900 He stood firm on his principles. He wasn't about making you just feel good. He wanted us to live good under equal rights and justice.
Peter Tosh gave many Passionate and Dangerous political speeches ever given by a Musician Peter was the greatest of them all SO much bigger than Marley.. Who else would be Smoking a spliff on stage 🔥Peter done it his way at the One Love Peace concert Peter belittled Prime Minister and the Opposition Leader sitting right in front of him that's a true legend of Reggae Music. Peter's personal attack from the stage in which he accused Manley to his face of not doing enough to help the poor is a timeless message for all of us to hear a Real rastaman... .. While The Beatles Rolling Stones Bob Dylan & many other music artists all smoked dope.. Peter's debut studio album had him sitting in a Cannabis Feld 🔥Peter Tosh was the architect of Reggae. Bob had Chris Whiteworst I wish Bob Marley was more like Peter Tosh because we would have had a Revolution by now .. To all Bob Marley fans wake up from your slumber mentality lets bring down the shitstem Fight the shitstem. Be a rebel oh bomboclaat
Tosh said music will never compete because it comes from the same divine mind And it is like in the Garden of Eden there are so many beautiful species of flowers. But they do not compete.
I feel a phenomenom about how Uprisimg album, the first time i ear it touch my soul ina deep way,and something come inside me and change my life,is amazing! I respect Peter and Bunny,but Bob have divine touch! I read Rastaman vibration "Joseph is a fruitful bought...." Uncle Bob is the best!
These two bob Marley and Peter Tosh were Jamaican musicians i like leasling to to there music video the regae still available i still leasling to to there music 🎵🎶
Just go back when these guys were only three of them. Listen carefully Tosh's part weather his vocals or lead guitar. He would mix rhythm lead on one guitar. When he went solo in 1974,the way he was singing and playing a guitar changed completely till he died
Yes, once again. What I meant was as if Peter Tosh was singing alone minus drums and keyboard. Only on one guitar, you can hear him play ing lead, rhythm, and part of bass even though you can't hear unless you pay much attention. And his singing pattern was changing. The way he can do it in first column will change in the second verse or column but with the same words . I am still playing his songs, I like this musian.
Raspect the wailers... since Bob..was holding back them.. okay.. everyone goes solo... look at their stats today... after 1974 check out there album Bob still did more albums more concerts.1980 check Bob concert he did around 47to 49 concert.. blessed All 3 off them.Rastafari
All Three were great in their own right. But Peter was really the Multifaceted Musician out of the three. He was also both Bob and Bunny's teacher. He did not get the shine and respect as Marley, neither did Bunny Wailer. They were all great in their own right. Truth be told, Peter was the was the Man.
Tosh, Wailer and Marley were all great in their own rites. No one was "over" the other. There are no leaders in Rastarari thus the movement can't be predicted. Rastafari Lives...George Oney
They were brothers like Malcom x and Dr. King. They will always want to separate and divide to conquer the situation. I love both of Peter tosh and Bob Marley seeeeeeen. One 💕
I truly loved them both and it’s sad that their not here too see the fruits of their hard labor! They were three leaders who had to go through their apprenticeship! They where the Beatles of Reggae! All three where put here by JAH. So don’t try to separate the reasons they were blessed to be here. Rest in Paradise!
I don't see why people feel a need to compare, who is the better artist. Why can't we just apprecilove them both as great artists in their own unique way and legends in the reggae genre???
Peter tosh was a rebel who spoke out his mind and sang mostly about iniquity and oppression and Bob Marley was a rebel too who sang about one love and peace. Both are great. Both were soldiers on the same mission but executed them differently.
both have pushed Jamaica and reggae music to heights no other artist before or after them has been able to do in their lifetimes. rasta live on forever because of brother Peter and bob
I love Tosh, but his songs do not appeal to a crowd! I would never play Tosh at a party, as much as I love him, but my guests would not enjoy the music regardless of his race! Sorry bro!
