You should listen to the whole album, 40oz to Freedom. It does not disappoint.

"What I got" "doin time" "caress me down" "april29th 1992" "santeria" "date rape" Sublime has an amazing discography for their short run

Sublime has a wide range of styles. "April 29th 1992" is a dope rap-ish song about the Rodney King riots. Highly reccomend.

Glad you found Sublime. Bradley struggled with substance abuse, especially heroin. This song uses metaphors to describe his battle. He was a brilliant song writer and a soulful singer. Their genre is usually defined as a mix of Ska, punk, reggae dub. Highly recommend you check out "Summertime / Doin Time" for vibes and soulful take on the classic song, "April 29th, 1992" a song about Rodney king riots, and "Date rape" for his story telling ability. Just months ago, Brad's son Jacob recently took over lead singing duties and reunited the original band members. They played Coachella the last two weeks and are planning to tour. He sounds very much like his father, check them out.

Sublime is the definition of "Vibe". RIP Bradley. Idc what anyone says, one of the GOAT vocalists. ✌🏽

Sublime is SoCal reggae, early 90’s skate/surf Long Beach culture. Making that drive on PCH listening to Sublime smoking a blunt with my late best friend are the memories I’ll cherish forever

I know I just commented but damn, Sublime always reminds me of the good times we had back then. I almost forgot we had so many. That's what music should do for the soul.

SoCal reggae is its own vibe. Hip hop, r&b, reggae, ska, and rock all rolled into one smooth joint.

You caught it at the end. It is eerie. He was calling for help. I need help to get out of this isolated place but I’m in the grips of addiction.

I’ve been a sublime fan since ‘96. They fuse rock, reggae, rap, country, punk, dance hall, roots.

Lou Dog! His Dalmatian doggo buddy. Lou Dog was their mascot. He took that Dog everywhere with him. I read that after Bradley Nowell passed, Lou Dog went into depression. So damn sad! In February 1990, Nowell purchased a Dalmatian puppy from an old man for $500, and named him "Louie" after his grandfather. Also referred to as "Lou Dog", he became a mascot for the band Sublime. Lou Dog was often allowed to wander the stage during concert performances. Louie was also often featured on the cover of Sublime albums, and was referred to in the lyrics of Sublime songs. In Sublime's most successful radio track, "What I Got", Nowell sings, "Livin' with Louie Dog's the only way to stay sane". Another prominent song by the band, "Garden Grove", mentions Lou Dog as such: "We took this trip to Garden Grove. It smelled like Lou Dog inside the van". Following Nowell's death in 1996, Lou Dog was cared for by Michael Happoldt, the band's manager. Lou Dog died from old age on September 17, 2001. Addictionedit

Sublime will always be one of my favorite bands. I got their first CD Robbin in the hood when I was in 8th grade and I was hooked ❤

Sublime is rad. They were always the one thing you could put on at a party, and nobody would complain

sublime is a vibe for sure, Scarlet begonias, What i got, don't push, are some good ones also!

I learned a lot of the bass rhythms I know because of learning Sublime. They had such great grooves.

One of the best bands ever. My favorite bass player of all time. Love for puttin them on peoples radar. So Cal Reggae needs a comeback.

Thanks for listening to sublime. It was cool of you to actually look up Brad and give him some respect. It's actually crazy, his son just performed as the front man for Sublime at Coachella the same age that his dad passed away.

I'm very glad to hear you exploring the music period loosly defined as "the 3rd wave of ska" Sublime was part of an era where the resurgance of Ska music rooted in the 60's (Al Capone - Prince Buster) that became repopularised in the 80's (Ruder Than You - The Bodysnatchers) then made a comeback in the 90's. Sublime's influence on music of this era cannot be understated. You can see Sublime's influence on music still, in bands like "10ft Ganja Plant"

That tribute to Bradley Nowell at the beginning got you a sub. Big chunk of my life was spent listening to Sublime.

One of my favorite bands of all time. So glad you were able to react! Not a band you lose your mind to. A band you sit back, chill, light up, comfy vibes.

Badfish is one of my favorite Sublime songs. And while it was actually written in 1989 prior to his struggles with heroine addiction that eventually claimed his life. This song proved to be analogous of his love of surf culture and partying. But also, in the end, prophetic as he himself ended up becoming a "Badfish" within a few short years of writing/recording this song. And I always find the line "Ain't got no money to spend" bittersweet. As, at the time he wrote the song, couldn't afford heroine, but was allured with it's notion. Then later starts to find success and subsequently the money that follows said success, and falls victim to heroine's demise.

Badfish was my absolute favorite. I always wanted to see them live in my teens. I was so heartbroken when he died. He son is playing with them now, and it's sweet.

“What I Got” was their big national hit. It’s fantastic. Hardcore fans will prolly think that’s basic, but whatever it’s really good. I think the better choice is to listen to “Santeria” next. It’s their #2 biggest hit (more 1A/1B), and probably also a song that hardcore fans will think is basic. But if you’re tryina get a feel for what these guys are all about, vibe-wise it’s a pretty perfect next song to do.

I MISS this band so much. You're really going to love their music.

You should check out their recent Coachella 24 performance live....His son played both weekends live with Sublime in homage to his Dad. At 28. Beautiful. RIP Bradly.

Bradley (his last name is pronounced like "nowul") was from southern California and was influenced by all of the different cultures there including hip-hop, punk, ska, but more noticeably, reggae. He was a very cool person with tremendous talent that left us way too soon. I would love to live in a world where he was able to continue creating music because I know the best was yet to come, which says a lot since the only two albums the band releaed before his untimely death were both fantastic start to finish. It's nice to see people haven't forgotten about him and his band.

if you wanna talk about foreshadowing, Then you should hear "Pool Shark" it's about his struggle with drugs.

I played bass in a band that covered this, great song

Sublime was running in the background of damn near every party of my youth. You need to listen to Santeria. That's probably their greatest song. Same chill party vibe too.

Me and my buddies would always throw this song on to start our sessions.

So Cal Reggae is a very distinct and long gone genre. Sublime were the kings of it. Honestly it was amazing watching someone listen to one of my all time favorite songs for the first time. Took me back 30 years.

Sublime is a hidden gem. Glad you found them

This is my favorite Sublime song and most people never hear it only going to the big hits, really glad you enjoyed it.

One of the best bands. Ever. More Sublime. Any song. They are all dope.

Brad was one of a kind. Real talent and lived the life.

Hold up, being new to Sublime is such a magical moment. They have so many bangers. I love April 29th 1992, great vibes and message.

This song will always bring me back to Bully’s in Guam. It’s not there anymore, but that was my bar while I was deployed there. Chamorro people can sing. All of them. Every time there was a live band playing, we would request that song. And they would nail it every time. I was 24 then. I’m 40 now. This song is like a Time Machine. Some of the best times I’ve ever had.

Love Sublime. So many different styles

The world of great music knows no genre! It’s just fire! Glad you found this brotha! Keep the videos coming. We love them.

The genre is sublime lol…. We Just went to Sublime show in Orlando… his son Jakob who was like 10 months old when Bradley passed is now the frontman with the original members, it’s a beautiful thing.

Who ever would off thought we would see Bradley son and Bradley guitar still vibing today 😊

Soooooo many good sublime tunes... Get Out, Scarlet Begonias, Slow Ride (a personal favorite)... you really cant go wrong with sublime.

I have so many memories to sublime, they rock and give off such good vibes. One love

Definitely do a deep dive on Sublime. So so much good music.

An absolute vibe. My favorite song of theirs.

💯💯💯💯 my favorite Sublime song

Bro this video just made me so happy, THANK YOU for your content

Jakob Nowell, Bradleys son, joined the band this year as its new lead singer. He joined at the age his father died. Can't wait to see him live XD

Straight feel goods.....RIP Bradley Nowell. I can still remember seeing "What I Got" music video and being hooked instantly.... They are without a genre for me... OG's... reggae/ska/punk/hip hop influenced tunes all goodies

His son is now 28 years old and is now singing for Sublime. Check out Jakob Nowell Sublime. ✌️

You need to check out their Marley Melody, one of my favorites.

Randomly stumbled on your channel…I love your reaction to this song…and love your point of view of life.

Used to listen a lot of Sublime when mom died when i was 18. Gotta love those cali sunny day vibes or maybe brazilian beach vibes! Much respect from São Paulo, Brasil! We love Sublime over here! Stoners united, anywhere!

One of my favorite sublime songs.

This song has a deeper meaning, bradley was from lbc so the way he talked about reefs, and the water and badfish which also means addiction or someone whos a bad influence. Brad was ahead of his time!

Welcome to Sublime! Positive Vibes all around!

Used to wake and bake with this song damn near every morning

Hands down the best reaction channel. Good work Rob.

Sublime is always a vibe

First time watching your channel. Its nice to see the music of my time still giving off the same good vibes in a new generation that's severely lacking pure soulful music. RESPECT

To the best of my knowledge, singer songwriter Brad Nowell died shortly before the release of the third self titled album in 1996. Since then the band has continued writing music with different frontmen using the moniker "Sublime with [Insert Stagename Here]"

Two thumbs up for your review, Rob! Long live Sublime! 👊🏼

Great first song to listen to for them! So many amazing songs. Bradley’s son is now lead singer with the band and they are currently touring.

Santeria, what i got, April 29th 1992, all good ones. Really hard to miss one, though. They're all good.

He was good friends with Gwen Stephanie, and his son is touring with the band as the singer now. They have been performing with No Doubt.

Sublime … is just that … SUBLIME baby 🔥… this was always on the drive, the fire pit, the kitchen party, the chillaxin with the bros and ladies.

me and my best friend chilling at the beach when we first heard sublime and it blew us away how different and expressive they are. Cali Reggie and they started the trend that rock the new wave Reggie we have here in America. Hold on Rob and get ready to be amazed

Man they have so many good songs. Most of them are pretty chill like this and short it's an easy rabbit hole to go down. Caress me down and pawn shop are 2 of my favorites.

40 oz. to Freedom is one of the best albums I've ever heard. It's so freaking good. It's unique. I've never heard anything like it from any other band and yet it's extremely refined. I recommend listening to the whole thing, not just the hits. Some of the best songs on that album are the lesser known ones.

Sublime is universal music. You can play it at any party, no matter who the crowd is

Sublime kicks A$$ so chill music. These are the songs I chill too after boat races

Love me some Sublime❤ What I got, Santeria, Smoke w joints, etc they got alot of great stuff

This band is a mix of punk ska and reggae. They also include hip-hop elements and some of their songs.

Oh you're going to LIKE the whole sublime catalog..!!!!!!! Very up your alley..!..!!..!!! Genre would be like hip-rock-hop with ska/reggae influences... Sublime the band IS a genre itself to some good extent as well!

Heck yeah! More Sublime!

Hyped to see this guys kid now at 28 the same age his dad died fronting the band now makes me think of mid 90s I may go to the show

If you're going to listen to more Sublime make sure you put it up on KZfaq bro.. always awesome seeing people discover this band for the first time. You need to check out Summertime, what I got and April 26 (the LA riots song) stay Gold! 😎👍💯🔥

This is my favorite Sublime song

Pawn shop, april 29th 1992, smoke 2 joints, under my voodoo, doin time, garden grove. All bangers. Sadly he passed before the release of their biggest album

Heyy!!! That’s dope you are enjoying the shit we grew up to here in Southern California. As a 43 year old dude who grew in Long Beach and the Harbor Area of Los Angeles I hope you have chance to explore some more of our local music.

Would love to see your reaction to more Sublime. I bet you've heard some of their songs before, like Santeria or What I got, just in passing.

Sublime is the best music to sit around and smoke to.

They have soo many diff vibes ❤

Definitely check out more sublime. "Doin' Time", "What I got", "April 29th, 1992"... so many good songs.

I'm glad you liked this jam. Strait up vibe indeed sir

when these guys were coming up in the club/backyard scene, they single handedly changed the whole west side mood around the LA area. up until then it was all fast, hardcore punk music and the vibe was so agro everywhere... they took it down a BUNCH of notches.

Fan since 1993- I even had the original 40 Oz. to freedom T- shirt with the "Skunk records" logo on back. Now I see that shirt at target and American eagle stores- but no judgment to that.

I instantly loved sublime because of their reggae influence

This reaction is GOLD!

Oh homie, Sublime goes hard. April 29th 1992 is a good song, Smoke Two Joints good song. Guy you gotta do more songs with them.

Am GX and hispanic in Houston 5thward just radio stations and friends. Crazy world we lived in.

One of the greats! 5446/Ball and chain is another banger.

I begged my mom for this album when i was in 3rd grade. I was on that vibe early. After i got the album, was a tape by the way, i sat.in my room with my mickey mouse tape player amd listened to this tape non stop. I got a notebook and tried to write down every lyric i could. About a month after i got the album, i saw news on mtv that Bradley died. Other than Cobain, this was one of the first musicians i ever heard of dying. Rob, my guy, you hitting the deep feels with h all your videos lately, its like you are just picking a song from my cd case. Keep it up my guy.

Sublime has always been my go to for just laid back chillin. They have loads of good jams. 5446 that's my number/ ball and chain and Scarlet Begonias are my favorite 2 for sure. Be cool to see you check one of those out

U need to listen to the entire album from start to end hes sings like an angel calling u home

So nice to see Sublime continue on with Brads son Jakob. Its a special time

Brad's son, who was 11 months old when Brad passed away. He's 28 years old now, and is currently singing for sublime. Absolutely kills it too!

The thing I miss most about the 90s is my van.

Sublime is exactly that. A head turner on nearly every track.

I am 52, this one takes me back. Nice reaction.
