FORMED: 1988 DISBANDED: 1996 I first met Sublime in the Fall of 1988, me and Brad were students at C.S.U.L.B. The band was the most popular group on campus and on the way to being the biggest draw in town. At the time, I was playing in the Ziggens and Brad would occasionally let us open up. One day I decided I was going to release all the Ziggens demos I was working on in the cassette format. I got a sharpie marker and scribbled out Skunk Records for the xeroxed liner notes. "You can't just do that" said Brad. Sublime had just completed a 4-song, 16-track demo, so we said, "why not put out your tape on our new label?" So began a partnership that would propel the music from keg parties to video music awards and platinum plaques. "Don't Push" and "Slowride" were f More...

(n) | Reviewer: RubIKoN711 ------ About the song Pool Shark performed by Sublime 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' calm down | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song I've Seen Better Days performed by Sublime look, you obviously wouldn't be looking up the lyrics to this song if you didn't like it. so who cares who sang it, sublimes great, and I'm sure citizen king is too. so don't worry about it, smoke some weed, lay back and enjoy the song. sublime lives on | Reviewer: Allie. ------ About the song Pool Shark performed by Sublime 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 ------ About the song Pool Shark performed by Sublime 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. This train is bound for Glory..<3 | Reviewer: Joanna Kate A. ------ About artist/band Sublime I'm a 19 yr old girl from Boston, my number one favorite band is Sublime. When i was just 11 years old i remember watching MTV and seeing a music video for "Wrong Way" ever since then i have been listening to sublime..all i wanted to do was to go to a sublime show, at a young age i found out that Brad Nowell was dead after the fact that i became so enticed by the band's music and lyrics, i was extremely sad. Sublime's sound has tainted a generation into tranquility and harmony. this nostalgic band reminds me of summer nights and times on the beach just everything that can make someone happy.Sublime has brought millions of people together through poetic words which most people can relate to, and some words in which others may never understand. The lyrics behind this group in particular leaves an individual to think more profoundly and question the world that may be drug infested and fighting addiction. Sublime’s story is diverse and heart moving, furthermore each and every album produced has a story of its own. I would have LOVED to meet Brad, Eric, and Bud. I don't know how i would make it through each day without listening to pool shark or robin the hood. All i know is that Sublime is one of the hugest influences in my life. R.I.P Brad Nowell * I never knew you, but everytime i hear you sing i feel like i do * Brad Nowell has been part of me even before I knew who he was | Reviewer: Brad Chambers ------ About artist/band Sublime Since I can remember, the radio has always know the tunes of Sublime. I don't recall a summer without Doin' Time. I've grown up with the image of my band tattooed some where on my body. As a kid, I always wondered why this band would say that I'm on a microphone with Ras MG. Sublime has been there through all the years, and continue to be heard though out any street of the Long Beach/Orange County area. They're impression is undoubtedly the most known in the Reggae Rock culture through out southern California; not to mention the united states. It would be irresponsible for us not to preserve the memory of Sublime, and its lead singer Brad Nowell. I went to Brad's grave today. Some friends of mine took me since they knew I was making a documentary of local bands who carry Brad's influence. The grave was just off the side of the road. The curb was a collage of eulogies where the grave bordered the street. I felt a chill in my body, it was at that time I released Brad Nowell wasn't the lead singer of a band, he was a living legend. To those who knew Brad, I give you my word that I will carry on his legacy. Thanks for the good times Brad Remember...Everything R.I.P Bradley James Nowell Feb. 22, 1968 - May 25, 1996 dont forget bob | Reviewer: Sam ------ About the song Marley Medley: Guava Jelly/This Train performed by Sublime i am a great fan of sublime and mean no disrespect but it seems like some of you think bradley wrote this, but he didnt. Its the first three parts of a seven part bob marley song. the bob marley song is Medley: Guava Jelly; This Train; Cornerstone; Comma Comma;Dewdrops; Stir It Up; I'm Hurting Inside Sublime! | Reviewer: Herb ------ About the song New Song performed by Sublime some say its about his use of herion. Bradley Nowell fought against his addiction for years before it took his life away. the track "Pawn Shop" describes his struggle with herion, how he'd sell his guitars to local pawn shops to buy drugs. Nowell once said he used the drugs to find creativity in his music in search for a major label. Rest In Peace pal. This is gay | Reviewer: that guy ------ About the song I've Seen Better Days performed by Sublime haha wow. i like the argument about this being a sad sad thing to look up and that all you guys need a hobby... that would include me, but im high, and well, i don’t care. if you do have no life though (yes, i do realize that is poor english), and you explore the anthology of sublime and the works of nowell you'll soon realize that this song is not from any sublime discography nor from any of bud gaugh and eric wilson's later work with the long beach dub allstars, nor eric wilson's work with the long beach short bus. by the way you all should definitely check both bands out... killer shit. so what was i saying? oh yea, limewire and frostwire and all that shit occasionally have miss labeled shit on there. it happens and if you fancy yourself a music aficionado go ahead and rename the songs on your itunes or whatever you use. just the other day i recorded vinyl tracks off a steely dan record... did i label all the songs correctly? i think so, but maybe i got distracted by a hot bitch on tv or maybe my phone went off. shit happens or people don't pay attention. whatever. peace out girlscouts.... fuckin right. i'm guna go eat cookies Badfish, 40 oz. to Freedom, etc. all classics | Reviewer: Jeff ------ About the song Badfish performed by Sublime Badfish was a beautiful song, and brings back many great memories for me. Sublime's music is, and always will be, in my music collection. Sublime was a part of the parties, youth, and fun for me and my friends. Bradley Nowell, you are missed until this day. Art | Reviewer: steve ------ About the song Pool Shark performed by Sublime 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. song name | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Summer Time performed by Sublime The name for this song is Doin' Time. The lyrics are not posted on Sublime's self-titled album booklet along with the rest of the songs thats why it is a little confusing. Please change the name, thanks. greatest band ever | Reviewer: dale whaley ------ About the album Second Hand Smoke performed by Sublime Sublime was always a great band. such soothing songs and a way to get away from it all. there music (all of it) just puts you in a place like no other. ive never once listened to a song by sublime and said i listen to this song to much or this song is old. every time is like the first time i listened to them. insperational and free. Not recommended for "normals" | Reviewer: Jeanby&Maru ------ About the song Santeria performed by Sublime Sublime is truly a legend for few people but those few whom I want to belong are great creatures. Though maybe I am not, extend my gratitude to those intellects in music. In real profession and in art. Let us keep this masterpiece away from "typical" eardrums. Can we call ourselves SANTERIA BLOODLINE? If so, Kampay dude! One day im gonna lose the war. | Reviewer: I love you Brad ------ About the song Pool Shark performed by Sublime 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 first true love in music | Reviewer: huck finn ------ About artist/band Sublime first off i wanna say i love the article. i wish everyday i could have the chance to see my favorite band play live. there music truly inspired me to write my own lyrics. i wish i could have met Brad. your article seriously made my eyes water. im listening to an interview of sublime right now. i have all their music on my computer. R.I.P Brad keep listening to the sweet reggae music that makes you feel okay Oh wow. | Reviewer: Kat ------ About the song 40 Oz to Freedom performed by Sublime Okay so, I love Sublime; they're amazing. And this song is amazing as well. And who-ever just wrote that they THOUGHT that this song was about alcohol, wow.. If you know anything at all.. You would know that a 40oz, is like a 40oz of beer.. Dur, ha. bittersweet | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Marley Medley: Guava Jelly/This Train performed by Sublime I want to, but I can't say this is the best; I love them all...but when I'm down my boyfriend sings me this song, sometimes changing the words. last night I had a really bad breakdown & he tried to cheer me up by singing, "Baby I really want to know I think you should stop your cryin' Use my T-shirt to dry your eyes You know I love you Van-essa, here I am, always & forever I'll be your man..." sublime is the best remedy for hard times =D RIP -.- | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song No Woman No Cry performed by Sublime have any of the people insisting this is sublime realized that 1) the voices don't match and 2) the styles don't match? hell, even the accents don't match. homework says it really is Murder 1, but i can't personally vouch for it. either way, i like it more, knowing where it comes from. someone probably put it under sublime on limewire and just fucked it up for everyone You could review the artist/band Sublime in Biography page You could review Sublime album by visiting Albums page and selecting an album You could review Sublime song by clicking the song which you like  Download "Sublime" Music | |
