Why isn't he gigging with the other original members of War, the Low Rider Band? It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

Legal B.S. He's got the name (War) and they don't. tA Tribal Disorder http://www.soundclick.com...dID=182431 "Ya see, we're not interested in what you know...but what you are willing to learn. C'mon y'all." | |

I saw Lonnie Jordan in concert a few weeks ago,performing with a bunch of musicians calling themselves War.These weren't the original members but it was an okay show. | |

Legal B.S. He's got the name (War) and they don't. tA Tribal Disorder http://www.soundclick.com...dID=182431 I think they should settle what ever differences they have and all get together under the name 'War'.

Agreed! It's silly that there are two different versions of War. | |

Well, seems more like he's doing their thing.The original 4 founding members of WAR (aka Lowrider Band) don't even mention the group name WAR on their site or on myspace because of that legal BS. I hate it when you go to see a group only to discover it's a bunch of hired musicians plus one original member.Lonnie should stop advertising himself as WAR, it's just not true.

I agree,it's false advertising.Lonnie should call his band something like 'The Lowrider Outlaws' or 'The Cisco Kids'.I know it sounds tacky,but it's not right to call them 'War' when it really isn't War.It's just him and a group of members that have absolutely nothing to do with War.This whole problem can be solved if he would just bury his pride and reunite with the original members. | |

Alot of you guys are right it sux that Lonnie is still not with the original band but hey he's still doing music and its good music. With his new album War Stories he's trying to in a way sepereate himself from WAR but still reel in their original fans as a solo artist. Suppot good music people | |

To all who really cares. Lonnie Jordan sold his soul at the cross roads. When he was offered to sell out the rest of the original members Lee Oskar, Howard Scott, BB Dickerson and myself Harold Brown.
Lonnie Jordan doesn't own the name War. Far Out Production trademarked the name behind the band's back in 1979. Go check it out. He's not that smart. Lowriderband dot com | |

Yupp, i think it was actually Jerry Goldstein behind the curtains - the same enigmatic manager who kept Sly Stone locked up the last 2 decades it seems.
I hope this guy one day gets sued back to stoneage. | |
