Review about Pool Shark afrid to die | Reviewer: jayrogers47@yahoo.com | 11/2/09 sad ending to it all, but to me when i here this song, it celebrates life because of brads untimely death. so many of us take life for granted. theirs crazy things that we all experience, and some of the choices that we might make, can ties us down or meet our maker sooner, that can crush our unconscious ego. making heavy drug use an casual thing for are every day life. this is a great song, it shows an cry for help from a musician that so many admirer, giving it a vary human element, that many, in and out of this similar condition can relate to. there's a lot you can do with a dude and guitar! (n) | Reviewer: RubIKoN711 | 6/15/09 yeah, its a shame brad is gone. Just goes to show once you get involved with junk like heroin, you're playing with fire, and eventually if you keep it up, you're going to get burned..it's just tragic to lose such an amazingly gifted and talented man as him. He could have gone places. but now he's dead, sublime could never be the same without him, and without that sublime sound kickin around, ska's dead..Wonder if the world would be different if we could go back in time and save such deep and influential artists like brad,kurt cobaine, and tupac shakur. `One Good Thing About Music, When It Hits You, You Feel No Pain' sublime lives on | Reviewer: Allie. | 5/25/09 This song, is absolutely amazing and has really shaped my life.. In the live version, it shows so much pain.. It really hurts my heart. His swooning of every word, makes me shiver. All of sublime's songs give off this message- a message that i use everyday. Brad was trying so hard to get away, but his addiction swallowed him whole. thirteen years today. rest in peace bradley nowell, i miss you to death. 25/05/96 -- 25/05/09 it lives on | Reviewer: kp | 5/19/09 its tragic that the world is so cruel and that it lost a great person like brad nowell. i know i remember him everyday when i'm driving down the road, listening to garden grove and singing all the words at the top of my lungs, and taking a bowl hit for him. rest in peace. Art | Reviewer: steve | 2/11/09 This song makes me cry everytime. Forget all those other songs that are supposed to be deep, you don't even need to understand the words to this song to feel Brad's pain. All music is art, but good art is something understood by everyone. R.I.P. Bradley Nowell. One day im gonna lose the war. | Reviewer: I love you Brad | 1/9/09 One of the saddest songs ever written in retrospect. It showed that not only did Brad realized how serious his addiction was, he knew that it would kill him one day if he didn't give it up. As any Sublime fan is well aware, any reference having to do with other drugs like marijuana or alcohol, and even cocaine and meth ("tweaking" as Brad calls it) were taken light-heartedly, however Brad always took his heroin addiction extremely seriously (see "Badfish", "Poolshark", etc.). As a former heroin addict myself, I have a greater emotional attachment to this song than any other ever written. Just to show you how f-cked up that world is, I would literally put this song on every time I would shoot-up. Everyone thats an addict, including Brad, knows they don't want to be in that world, so even if you get your fix, deep down you know its killing you. This song isn't a "suicide note", because Brad was trying desperately to be free. He went to rehab over a dozen times, but quickly relapsed afterwards every time. This song was simply Brad's way of explaining that he understood what would happen to him if he keep using heroin, which as we all know it did only two years later. The lyrics are fairly straight forward - "plastic bed" definitely refers to the beds withdrawaling addicts sleep in. The beds are covered in plastic because of the endless amount of sweat that would otherwise soak into it while the addict lies awake in bed and thinks about "how things aren't so cool to me", because trust me, you don't sleep and things definitely aren't cool. One lyric that oddly hasn't been discussed at all is the very title of the song. "My baby likes to shoot pool", more than likely is not a reference to another person, but rather to himself or his needle (which would be his "baby"). "Shooting pool" is slang for injecting something (i.e. "I was in the bathroom shooting pool.") I used to use to term a lot, even before I'd heard the song. "Tyin' off that dinosaur" unquestionably means putting on a tourniquet. "Tying off" is the action of putting it on, and "dinosaur" is slang for the tourniquet itself. "Used to be so cool", any addict will tell you, no one uses heroin looking to get addicted, but with this line Brad shows that he knows that its not fun and games anymore, its a serious problem. "I can shake, but I can't breathe", obviously a reference to intense withdrawals. "The shakes" are a very common symptom for heroin withdrawals. "I can't breathe" is probably just a methaphor for how unbearable heroin withdrawals really are. "One day I'm gonna loose the war", definitely Brad's understanding of the ways his addiction will end, either quit or die. However, this didn't mean that he had stopped fighting and was writing his "suicide note", he was in rehab only a few months before his death. RIP Brad Nowell - the greatest waste of potential in the history of rock and roll. Say NO to needles, they kill! my good friend | Reviewer: Valerie | 5/22/08 My good friend loved this song and died of a heroin overdose. He knew he was going to die too. He couldn't stand being addicted to heroin and he killed himself by taking too much. The coroner even ruled it a suicide. I helped him through countless withdrawals. It was so painful for him. He was a great musician and a great friend. RIP Craig! painful | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/25/08 Have you heard the live version of this song on 'stand by our van live'? (if you havent i suggest you buy the album) The pain in the songs comes through so much it actually pyhsically hurts to listen to it, its tearing him apart from the heart. RIP Brad review | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/31/07 this song is so moving and makes me want to cry when i hear it becaue bradley pretty much predicts his death in this song. its heartbreaking.
