I don't think so. I don't like it when bands do this. It's fine if it's the lead singer and principal songwriter like Arthur Lee or Jeff Lynne. But Wayne Kramer touring as the the MC5 is out of order as far as I'm concerned.Quote:

There are two versions of UB40 doing the rounds and both using that name. Both versions contain members of the original line-up but the split was very acrimonious.Quote:
