Bredda...! Artist are Humans too not because a man is a Genius or great in his particular field of endeavor not necessarily means he's perfect. You work years to perfect your craft but only God can make perfect your character We often tend to knight Artist as Idols which are Gods and as Icons then they disappoint us by not living up to our ideals of what they should be. public figures stinks behind close door too. what you see in the media is all facade and hype an image make belief crafted to sell the brand. They like to dress down but can't on stage because you paid your hard earn money to be Treated with a package on their own time they like rag jeans and cotton shirts. Artist are Humans too they are some of the most controversial figures but they all live normal lives behind close doors they do and enjoy the common things just like you. Being an Artist is just a job to make this world a much more interesting and entertaining place not to make it perfect

Great to hear these insights from the great Leroy "Horsemouth" Wallace. No doubt there are two sides to this story, but it's a pity that these kind of things would spoil a good friendship. The part about the old prison at St. Ann's Bay was very interesting. That scene from the film Rockers always had a special impact on my life.

Just watched Rockers yesterday. The scene with burning spear singing jah nuh dead, with the sound of the ocean in the background was so beautiful. Almost brought tears to my eyes.

[@Carvalhouk]

Selfish ambition..is what this capitalistic system breeds. However it doesn’t mean you have to follow suit. Keep that ego in check, 🤔 it makes sense now why Burning Spears band keeps changing. To me the message in the songs at times doesn’t equate with the behaviour of the Artist..

[@Ericktj29]

That’s exactly what I was asking some Jamaican dude, are they as humble as they act onstage, or that’s just a pose, he was they’re humans also, some of them are, some of them just play the part

[@SistaSensi]

I opened for Spear in the 80's with my band. We were sharing the green room and I wanted to go to my car and get something and quietly asked my girlfriend to give an eye on my bag because there were a lot of people there and it's kind of what women do. We watch each other's bags. No big deal. Spear was ear hustling and immediately started screaming and shouting at me that nobody wanted anything out of my bag. I dumped my bag out on the counter with a bunch of money and all my gold jewelry in it and I told him to mind his own damn business I had things in my bag and if anything happened to them was he going to replace them? Ah feisty him BBC feisty. I remember his drummer Nelson laughing from behind and he told me later he never saw nobody talk to Spear like that. At that time I lost any respect I had for Spear. A great singer but just not a very nice guy.

[@claudiacraig8494]

Most of them is like that,I met a few and they were very disrespectful, they sing a lot about black women and they ain't sincere. Sing for they supper and fame.

[@geneclemetson4779]

I know exactly what Horsemouth is talking about. I toured with Spear on the 2000 Grammy tour and he was completely self absorbed. For example, when we traveled to South Africa in December of that year, we were met by thousands of people when we landed in the airports within SA. Spear would just walk past the crowds of people and get on the waiting bus and not even look at or acknowledge the crowds. There were other incidents of his aloofness as well. I decided after that tour that if I ever made it to a level of success similar to Spear's, I would NEVER let my head get swelled up the way his was. Basically, he showed me on many levels how NOT to be a music icon.

[@konshuspilot]

I was at that concert and yes, he was not nice towards the audience even but thanks to the musicians, it was a great concert. Culture was the best

[@toshmarley72]

I was at the concert too. I thought maybe he had health issues. Joseph Hill interacted with us very well . But some of my friends met Spear in Cape Town and they say he was very nice and chatted and laughed with them . The music was out of this world though .

[@aaqilian5.085]

Who cares? He’s a musician, he’s not your friend or a social worker. He has no obligation to indulge every dipshit who wants a piece of his time. It’s called boundaries, and every one has a right to them.

Horsemouth had a unique style of drumming that I think gives Spear a special character of roots reggae. It should have been kept that way to soar high. Peter Tosh did the same with the Wailers group and his reggae got a bit tasteless.
