What Happened to the Music Band WAR?

The group WAR is a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominated group, and instrument playing band. There music ruled the 70's and most of the 80's. Here is the breakdown of the bands career from the start until 2014.

Should be in Rock Hall of Fame.

Today is my fathers birthday the original bassist for the group war BB Dickerson. Lonnie was the piano player

[@tommymann69]

THE LOWERIDER BAND IS THE ORIGINAL WAR

[@rabanmartine3902]

Right ! Jerry Goldstein and that traitor of Lonnie Jordan stealed then name (and $) and created a fake band with their name. The only 3 OG'S Harold Brown, Howard Scott and Lee Oskar alive made THE LOWRIDERS BAND. I'm loving them for almost 50 years now, I guess that's why i'm so involved

[@lastdaysguitar]

Robin Trower was very open about his being inspired and borrowing from the band WAR's song "Four Cornered Room" to compose his hit "Bridge Of Sighs".

[@rabanmartine3902]

My very favorite song of them. I love all of their songs, but this one... 💜❤️💜

[@amenajordan7938]

The group War my Uncle still does music !. I'm proud of hem and I love hem very much !.

[@PedroGarcia-xq7un]

Love there music.. I bought my first 8 track.. it was "War Live" in qoudraphpnic. It wore out . 10 years ago, I found the same album on cd at a garage sale. To my surprise, it has never been opened . I have never seen them in concert, but this the close to one.

Their harmonica player, a Danish guy named Lee Oskar, was amazing in the way he used his instrument as an inside voice of the "War" R&B fusion horn section. Nobody else has ever really done that, and it absolutely makes so much musical sense. Once you mic the "harp", the sound can be colored in many ways, but the breathiness is always there in the background. Every once in a while, it peeks up out of the inner texture, but he seldom has it in your face as a constant solo instrument, the way that most blues harp players do. Through most of their songs, you'd swear it was a saxophone. Sometimes you really hear it more as a harmonica, but it always serves the needs of the song! A real musician's musician, as all of these hit-making guys tended to be! It's all about the groove!

Thanks for the look back of a great band of my youth.

[@Zappasays]

Another stellar review. Fantastic band. Learned harmonica because of lee. The Burden years were classic, also.

[@thomasclark448]

My all time favorite band War ❤

[@laurenleon2061]

Agreed! WAR does deserve to be in rock n roll hall of fame. Nice production you ve crafted.thx😊

[@bonepicker1]

Yes they do, but with all the surviving original members. I don't think Jerry Goldstein will let this happen. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lowrider_Band

[@carlvest7695]

Great short documentary. She missed the first album after Eric Burdon left, which was just called War in 1971, before the release of All Day Music, but good information none the less.

[@The7SorrowsBotanica]

For future reference when you sell over a million albums its considered Platinum.

[@bigetcb9994]

Great history wow❤❤

[@davidfarris894]

I had seen War many times from around 1975 to around 2006.This would be in the Oakland SF San Jose area.In the earlier days they were better but they still kicked ass in the later days.Oasis club in San Jose around 94 they did All Day Music for around 15 minutes.They tore it up and then some.The whole club got cold chills on that one.`No matter who was in their band they got down and played their hearts out.RIP to all the fallen brothers

[@telejim2238]

Great mini doc, their work with Eric Burdon is my favourite. Tobacco Road & Spill The Wine all day! :)

[@rabanmartine3902]

Maybe you should try to listen what they did after Burdon 🤔 I say that, I say nothing...

[@irahenderson7840]

The rock and roll hall of fame ain't shit. They're not worthy of War

[@TheAbicu]

I agree; definitely yes, War Music Band should be in the Rock Hall of Fame. It is a group that, in my opinion, revolutionized Pop-Rock music, of course, like other groups, in its period of greatest musical splendor. (Estoy de acuerdo; definitivamente sí, War Music Band debería estar en el Salón de la fama del Rock. Es un grupo que, en mi opinión, revolucionó la música del Pop-Rock, claro que, como otros grupos, en su momento de mayor esplendor musica)l.

[@marklopez9661]

They are the greatest of all times🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@bonepicker1]

I'd hoped she would have told the story of what Jerry Goldstein did to the former original members of War, Lee Oskar, Harold Brown, B.B Dickerson, and Howard Scott. These players formed the Lowrider Band, and tour under that name playing the songs of War. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lowrider_Band

[@HouseofNostalgia22]

Yes, this was my first video.

[@theresawebb1806]

Love their ir tune galaxy. & the world is a ghetto alot.

[@zackpumpkinhead8882]

I found a (secondhand) record of Spread the Word at a record store in Seattle for*$3.75!!!*

[@dawngarland5566]

I just saw them the 7th time Nov 10 with my daughter and wow they were superb!😊

[@haroldbrooks4235]

What a freaking travesty that they’re not in the R&R Hall of Fame

[@HouseofNostalgia22]

They are still my favorite band

[@BipolarBearLA]

Near verbatim. Did you get any special permission to read verbatim War’s Wikipedia page. You could have spiced it up a little

[@HouseofNostalgia22]

I learned a lot since my very first video. Sorry it took me so long to reply.

[@markmaier1846]

Just caught the show in Wichita Ks a month n a half ago , I didn't know that he was murdered, and from K.C area

[@rabanmartine3902]

Fake WAR ! The real OG's are now THE LOWRIDERS BAND. You should know....

[@siralexander1884]

War & 5th Dimensions should be in the hall

[@HouseofNostalgia22]

I feel the same way

[@theresawebb1806]

Never heard this story before glad it is ogu not glad motse of this is happening.

[@robertfullerjr8124]

Rock n Roll hall of fame is full of shyt..... if Jerry Goldstein was alive there would be a possibility if you know where I'm coming from 🤔

[@tommymann69]

Godstein has the tv show cheaters
