Interesting. I listened to Sublime's album "Sublime" all the time in middle school and high school. These guys were great.
sounds good man!
as for Rome with Sublime, come on man!
for one, Bradley would LOVE that his music is being kept alive. If you research his life, you'll learn he was all about music. He took samples of other people's songs and formed them into something that was his.
it would bother me if they were playing as "Sublime", however they're playing as "Sublime with Rome" He does a great job, and he isn't trying to be brad.
here's a list of Sublime songs that either are covers, or have different parts of songs that Brad took and put into his own (some have as much as 3 different covers or parts of covers in one song!)
so the point is, don't hate on Rome for singing somone else's songs... that's kind of what Bradley did! (although in a MUCH more creative and original way)

if you're really a fan, and you've read or studied a lot about brad's life and personality, you'd know he would definitely approve of what they're doing. Think of Sublime with Rome as a tribute band.
It's perfectly natural for you to not want to accept them because it's not Brad, but I know Brad would accept them!
As for new material, I would actually be more upset if they wrote new material under the name Sublime.
if they wrote new material under the name Sublime.
LIKE I SAID haha I'm fine as long as they aren't doing anything under the name Sublime.
If you still think Brad wouldn't approve, I think you need to watch the videos on this page:
The Bradley Nowell Story: Sublime and their reggae influences
I'm a huge Sublime fan. I even named one(of 3) of my rescued dogs Ruca and will be naming my next rescue Lou Dog. Love the music, love everything that its about. I was upset when I heard they got a new frontman but the fact that they're called Sublime with Rome made it easy for me to accept.
I heard them in concert and unfortunatley for them the crowd wanted them to play Bradley's stuff when they wanted to promote their new stuff. Bradley is Sublime but to not credit Bud and Eric for not being the other half is just nonsense. Its not their fault that LBDAS didn't make it. They said they were heartbroken and didn't want to go on without Brad under the Sublime name. I remeber when they made the announcement but heartbreak can only keep you down for so long.
If they were releasing a remixed version of any of their old catalog, sure, you can hate on them. But they're doing their own stuff and Rome is being as respectful as a young man can to a pioneer.
I look forward to this CD and I wish nothing but the best for the surviving memebers of the band and Rome.
R.I.P. Bradley. You are missed but your legacy has been immortalized
BTW, good job on the cover.
Dont you mean "being broke while having a lucrative cash cow to milk" only happens for so long?
The VH1 day in the life special? Seen it. I dont think he would have wanted it to go on the way it is, however, Im not him so I cant speak for him. I know for myself I dont wanna see Sublime the band go on WITHOUT Brad. Brad WAS Sublime.
Absolutley not. They didn't try to replace him right away after he died. They disbanded immediately. There was genuine love for one another in that band. If they make a profit in the end, good for them but there are millions of Sublime fans that are happy that they are doing this. I do respect your opinion though cause I was conflicted about this for a while myself.
They didnt disband, the heart, soul, creator, and only part of the band that wasnt replaceable died. Eric and Bud are talentless, but were good friends of Brads.
Lets look at this list and tell me, what do you remember?
Sublime
Sublime with Rome
Long Beach Dub Allstars
Long Beach Shortbus
I remember the ONE Dub Allstars song they played on the radio, and that one song SUCKED. Eric and Bud are nothing without the name of Sublime.
I think it's funny you don't think Brad would approve of Bud and Eric doing almost the exact same thing he did!!!
Have you watched the videos yet?!
no they are playing as "Sublime with Rome"... COMPLETELY different
I didn't know that. However it still does not change the fact that I believe Bradley would not only approve, but would be happy his music is still being shared. Have you watched the videos yet? you'll learn some things you obviously don't know about Brad...
