This interview was a great read! I think this is the first actual interview with Tosh I've ever read...very enlightening! My favorite quote -

It was all about the original Wailers: Peter, Bunny and Bob are untouchable as a trio. Aside from that incarnation of the band, The Wailers Band put on a really good live show. Check them out if you can.
Has anyone attended an Anglican Mass in Jamaica? I just read that Angelican churches added Marley's 'One Love', and Peter Tosh's 'Psalm 27' to the collection of hymns. That would be fun to experience. I wonder how popular they are as church hymns.
I'm doing some research on Peter Tosh and I'm looking for any television appearances he might have made. Youtube doesn't have much. Can anyone link to clips of him performing on TV or fill me in on his appearance history so I know what to look for? Gracias!
I just noticed that Peter Tosh is being featured on Rock-Star.com! Check it out...I guess the Tosh estate really is gearing up for something. Curious...
Two articles were published this week about the estates of the late Bob Marley and Peter Tosh, outlining each estates efforts to revive the brands of the respective artists. Both are very interesting reads, especially where they highlight the different ways each camp is approaching this issue...
Oh, that much I understand. What I mean is, I don't understand why the rights owners would feel it necessary to highlight Bob and downplay Peter and Bunny's role in the band. I feel like it is to the credit of both Bob and the Wailers to recoqnize that all 3 icons were started out making...
I've never understood why the old Wailers stuff is marketing like that. I mean, I understand, but it's unfortunate. In my opinion, recoqnizing that the Wailers were greater for the sum of their parts then just the Bob Marley show makes the band that much more compelling. It's like marketing the...
Did you happen to catch this article? On Sunday, The Jamaica Observer reported that internet searches for Peter are on the decline, compared to the last few years. Tosh had previously held a strong second place (behind Bob) in searches for popular reggae musicians. It seems since April, Tosh has...
Police and Thieves is such a great track, both the cover and the original. It doesn't get much better than Perry and The Clash, in my book. I'm gonna check out youtube for those vids. Have you listened to Madlib's Blunted In tHe Bombshelter? Its an hour long DJ set (released as an album) using...
I just came across a great article from The Voice Online about some of reggae's greatest legends not named Bob Marley. They cover everyone from recently deceased Lucky Dube to the Steppin' Razor himself, Peter Tosh. A good read for a quiet Tuesday afternoon. Enjoy!

I've been trying to find the video of Don't Look Back that Tosh performed on SNL in '79. Appearantly Mick Jagger crashed the stage to back up Tosh, who was not too happy to see the 'Stones singer. I've looked everywhere and cannot find a clip. Can anyone help?
In the meantime, enjoy the...
Hello all!
