[@Jay-hr3rh]

Jamaicans has never appreciated the people who put reggae music on the world map. I'm a 51 yr old man who still cry's and get goosebumps when listening to Burning Spear. I'm not even Jamaican.

[@jamestapiwanashemakuwe9558]

He's not forgotten I'm only 21 but I listen to this man the spear continues to burn, Jah!

[@markjordan8919]

He hasn't been forgotten in the UK and his music will never be forgotten!

[@pulemogale2652]

Burning Spear is still very relevant and loved here in South Africa.

Burning spear is a hero not only for Jamaica but Africa at large. He is the African messenger, teacher who sings about Africa proudly.

[@lawrencenjawe9875]

Burning has displayed a very remarkable consistency thru out his 50 year career. Few if any reggae artist can match the CRITICAL acclaim he's received.. He's never had an average album.....

Burning Spear probably was one of the most active touring men before the lockdown. Plenty of people not appreciated at home but that is far from being considered forgotten.

Every song Winston Rodney sing is a Burning Spear to the soul. I met him while at Jack Ruby and have most of his songs. Throw Down Yuh Arms And Come!

[@cedricfundi240]

We love him and listen to his music here in Zambia.

[@ibidapoilawole7120]

Burning Spear is not forgotten, I repeat not a forgotten Hero!!! Burning Spear is alive and legendary. Am very sure Winston Rodney would be pissed with this piece. The youths are generally not conscious but I must say Burning Spear is not forgotten and still a force to reckon with.

[@autarchiimusic5837]

How could Burning Spear be pissed at hearing a couple idrens reasoning about his great contributions to the culture? Sharpen up your statement iyah, listen to the reasoning clearly.

[@fredericocr1]

He is much loved in Portugal. His show there is stuff of legend. Police turned off electricity to end it!

Burning spear could never be forgotten 💯

[@culturedat]

Winston rodney is the TRUTH.... He is however, a peculiar Rasta man.. I remember back in 1996 going to SUNO in New Orleans, running across some Jamaican athletes. I brought up Burning spear and they had some disparaging comments. Fast forward to 2017 in LA, we were talking bout setting up a show, I brought up bringing da spear on board, everybody evolved said he was too expensive, costing from 30,000 upwards and his accommodation were too much.. I still love his sound and his chants. A true legend

[@hannahoron9740]

[@hellobiafra]

mmmm i dont think so he is forgotten, who knows about TOP class reggae roots, for sure know about the Spear just is not Bpb Marley basically any other artist than Bob or Gregory, Buju B.... can be name as forgotten , anyway, this man is a true living legend, his discography is the most complete reggae discografy you can ever hear from any reggae artist( just Isaacs or Midnite/Akae Beka, but mostly time they didnt produce they full albums, but Spear produced and arranged all his catalog) so The Spear is a Maestro and Teacher of how a very good true reggae roots music need to be played and composed.... his Fittest of the Fittest album blew my mind in that moment and made me fall in love with reggae roots, since that day im into reggae 100000%... thanks to the BURNING SPEAR for all his amazing albums , heavy riddims,deep lyrics, to the soul..... bless up

[@bonifieddonlukatdon8812]

Burning Spear toured this summer , 2022, and proved beyond any doubt how great he is in I&I culture. From Door Peep to Jah no Dead , Spear performed like a young man. Raspect Winston Rodney. Give thanks for this post.

I am really embarrassed to see this comment. Your reasoning off key. I and I a reason about the great works of the man and the younger generation not knowing of his greatness. How bury come into this?

[@kwekusticky1]

I listen to burning spear every single day....today I started with his album "far over"

[@fullmetal1766]

Burning spear will never be forgotten by anyone close to me I been playing his music damn near 25 years straight lmao

[@yvonnetaylor213]

I love Burning Spear I went to one of his concet few years back I have never forgotten, if you now your Black History you would be able to relate to his music. In my opinion he doesn't care what people say about him He is real. I give him all the respect he never disrespect black women in his music, If we listen to Burning Spear music it teaches you about your Black hisory for those who don't now who they are... a very humble and realman that sing about his history without any apology; Blessing and respect goes out to him

[@marcofacen9564]

I remember when I heard Burning Spear first time. I was a kid of 7 at that time, laying in a hospital. My father brought me a Walkman with a few tapes. One of them was Burning Spear live in Paris. He told me "I like that guy much more than Bob Marley, it's just more authentic and he has a great riddim"... I was shocked! But... somehow today I have to agree. Bob put Reggae on the world's stage, and has to be respected for all he did. But for me, Winston stood true to his style, and closer to the his original reggae sound, which can't be and wasn't copied in any way until this day.

[@italfish4666]

Great reasoning iyah!...

[@NextSound170]

The Spear!

[@lawrencenjawe9875]

Yes that's the term: NATIONAL HERO. SUCH A SHAME. In America and Britain, stars like Elvis and Beatles are ingrained into their cultural psyche in movies, Vynil, literature, exposés, and even in intellectual discussion...But seeming these mew generation of young Jamaicans seem less "cultural".. Legendary Nyabinghi drummer and promoter Ras Michael once complained about this..

He just completed touring Afrika, Zambia, south Africa, Zimbabwe, Malawi and kenya..

NICE, NICE.....,...

[@Jed-i]

Forgotten is too strong of a term for describe his contributions. I woulda just say most people, particularly the younger generation, ain't familiar. And that ain't neccesarily him or anybody else's fault. He is one of the few artists from an era where roots music was real dominant and it would seem that brand of reggae lost a bit of its luster. And with the surge of neo-roots (from artists such as chronixx, Jah9 and even Aurtachii) his music may fall through the cracks. Why Bob's name is more recognized has to do with the legacy he has that lives on through his children.

[@hansfrantz6658]

How would Bob Marley be a national hero? Really? 🙄🙄🙄 both burning spear and Peter Tosh are the real deal. This author is so anti Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer. I wonder why?

[@Amaryahu]

*He’s been programmed. We must understand they put Bob Marley in the forefront when he debuted One Love because it went along with Babylon’s policy of all for one, one for all. They kept ALL of Bob Marley true values and morales away from mainstream. They wanted him for ALL ppl. But just like Spear, Marley was a true dreadlock. Check out his interview with Jacob Miller. Bob spilled the beans in that interview. Kept it 1000 to the max!* *Shalom (Peace) Sister!* 💯👑
