Wow, I can't even imagine. My son is 18 now and a freshman in college. I'm so sorry for your loss.

I was born and raised in Long Beach California where Sublime is from. I had the honor of seeing them before they were big in a backyard party back in the early 1990's. I can still remember the vibe of their music when I saw them play and how it made me feel. It was something really special and different from anything I had ever heard at that time. And yes they had lots of influence from Mexican culture growing up a white boy in the LBC just like I did. The Mexican brothers were our homies and family.

Im very glad to hear you exploring the music period loosly defined as "the 3nd wave of ska" 311 and sublime were part of an era where the resurgance of Ska music rooted in the 60's (Al Capone - Prince Buster) that be came re popularised in the 80's (Ruder Than You - The Bodysnatchers) then made a comeback in the 90's. Sublimes influence on music of this era cannot be understated. You can see Sublimes influence on music still, in bands like "10ft Ganja Plant"

Despite wearing their influences firmly on their sleeves, they were amazingly innovative, blending styles in a way that hadnt quite been done before, at least not as well, from ska and reggae to SoCal punk, along with heavy doses of Chicano and hip hop cultures. They presaged the impact hip hop would have on rock, and youth culture in general, later in the decade.

Bradley was ahead of his time. He encapsulated that moment in time. With song about the LA riots, loving Reggae and being an addict in the most beautiful way only he could. Sublime is the sh!t, almost every song is about that early 90s rage and beauty. I was introduced to sublime in Venice when I was 10 years old, I stopped on the boardwalk and watched him perform for about 40 mins, my family walked away and lost me for that time. He was playing Jimi and then turned it into Soul Rebel by Bob Marley as he rapped the chorus. I was hooked. He has always been an inspiration and he adopted that chicano/cholo culture. RIP Bradley & Lou Dog 😢

I just hope IF they do, it’s not “blister.”

The sky/California reggae sort of sound is just such a vibe. It's like, chill but energetic at the same time. It's like it harnessed the power of early, natural ganja.

Sublime just had a vibe with every song. Put a smile on my face. I love caress me down and the way he flows from English to Spanish. I always forget that he died before they made the video

ABSOLUTELY!! u should react to the Violent Femmes... they are now & will always be 🔥!!

Oh man that documentary..Lou dog waited on the shore for Bradley to come back from surfing..tears love this channel

***GOING THE DISTANCE*** by Cake from the same time period, I always played those back to to back back in the early 90s...reminds me when I ran from the Texas law to Arizona for a Summer...fun times...I took a Dalmaton named Dominoe with me for my outlaw mountain waterfall adventure. :) ~Grandma

This song has made it on my "forever playlist" after hearing it the first time when it first came out. The vibe of the song gets to my core to this day.

I grew up in So. Cal with my teen years being through the 90's, and this song has always been a vibe for me. I still listen to it on warm days with my windows down when I am missing the beach or California. ❤️🌴 Oh and the Violent Femmes are classic and so rad, my friends and I listened to them all the time in the 90's.

This song was the first tattoo I got for my music sleeve when I was 19. And plan to wear their tee tomorrow for 420. 20 yrs later😂

Sublime were like a modern day credence Clearwater-simple catchy rock sounds with a hometown vibe

For those who don’t know, “Sancho” ain’t one specific dude. “Sancho” is a term for whoever messing around with your girl behind your back.

Bradley Nowell missed the 27 Club by just a few months. RIP Sublime was the soundtrack to my junior high and high school days, “40oz To Freedom” album was one of the only tapes I had, when tapes and walkmans were still barely a thing.

Damn, the parts you didnt remember ARE the song to me - that was my whole original conception of Sublime - sweet sounding songs w/ hard AF lyrics. This is from their self-titled third album, easily their most commercially successful, but their debut, 40 oz. To Freedom, will always be one of my favorite albums of all time. Every song is a banger, a wholly original (despite containing six covers) blending of reggae, ska, and SoCal punk with heavy Chicano and hip hop influence - it is very much OF 1992, yet also completely timeless. Ending with a song of appreciation for the wisdom emparted to them by KRS-ONE, and a heavenly, acoustic rendition of By the Rivers of Babylon, it's amazingly confident and comfortable with itself for a debut from some 20 year old kids.

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]"

100% agree, Easily one of the greatest of all time.

FYI, Brad's son took over the vocals for the band and they were just at cochella.

I grew up in Long Beach where Sublime was from. I used to work at the mailbox place where they had their fan club mailbox and I was there when the boxes came in with their first album 40 oz to Freedom (Skunk Records 1992) and they gave me the very first copy. The Dalmatian Lou Dog - they brought him in when he was just a puppy and its always crazy seeing the videos with him cause I'm always like.. I know that dog!!!! got a lot of Sublime on my beach jams playlist

I remember the 1st time I heard a Mexican coworker say "sancho" after someone sneezed and learning about Sancho😂😂 This song was the 1st thing I thought of, and it all made sense after blindly singing it throughout my teens

First Like on Santeria! Love me some Sublime... straight back to Highschool! Have a GREAT day y'all!

Always loved this song and knew what it was about, so, your reactions to the new 45 was hilarious 😂. Great reaction and I second you doing some Violent Femmes reactions.

Sublime encapsulated the Long Beach and west coast culture. The whole scene had a mesh of multiple cultures and backgrounds, because Southern California (Long Beach specifically) is a melting pot. We all knew each other, hung with each other, fought each other and drank together. This band is Southern California in the real sense, not that nonsense Hollywood bs

I’m so excited for your reaction to this. Sublime is my favorite band of all time I lived very close to Garden Grove Ca..!

Hell yeah! Sublime is my jam I’m literally wearing my sublime shirt right now. I’ve been bumping this shit since ‘94. I would definitely recommend the Violent Fems as well. They’re from my home town of Milwaukee and I’ve seen them live multiple time at Summerfest. Summerfest is a huge musical festival held every year in Milwaukee and at one point I believe it was the world’s largest but I don’t think it is anymore.

This song has been on my forever playlist since day one!

the LBC! Imagine LA county in the early 90s- still one of the top 5 favorite bands for me!

Violent Femmes!! You triggered memory lane for me with that! Would love to see Black P react to that, lol!!

I fucking LOVE the Violent Femmes, please do some reactions. I was actually looking for Femmes reactions this week and I can't find many and it's mostly just one particular song and they have multiple bangers.

Oh damn Sublime .....the entire album this was on was fire if you love bass which I do Caress Me Down is the song you gotta listen to.....they are doing shows with new member I seen I believe last year they was at the Hollywood Casino & Race Track in Wv.......Y'alls reaction was priceless

You're feeling that reggae vibe that Sublime had! If you really want to feel good, check out Beres Hammand "I Feel Good" and "Rockaway". You will be transported to another time and place!

This is a favorite band of mine. I have most of their albums. Really love the vibe of drunk,high fucked up So Cal skunk ( ska+punk) with the little interludes of them chilling, going to the store, or the skits with a crazy mental patient Raliegh Theodore Sakers are just some of the chill dope funny happy vibes I remember from this music. It lives in my heart forever. I can sing the majority of the Sublime album to this day.

Sancho is the dude running out the back door, when your keys hit the lock in the front door...

I love the bass line of this song, as well as the entire album/tape/CD/

Brad was 28 when he died. He made it 3 months past the 27 club. Listen to Caress Me Down (but probably a little graphic for the channel) and April 29, 1992 Edit: Another of my favorites is Saw Red with Gwen Stefani back when she was just coming up

I think you two would enjoy Informer by Snow. You won’t regret it! Cheers! 🤘🏻🇨🇦🤘🏻

Violent Femmes "Kiss Off" is one of the ANTHEMS of Generation X!

This video was made after the lead singer Bradley had passed away. That's why it shows him glowing like that.

11:10 - there is a huge difference between hearing a song and actually listening to a song. The way we change over time makes that even more interessting. For example "Father and Son" is a life long listening experience.

Brad spent some time in the Virgin Islands with his dad when he was 11 which exposed him to Reggae His dad influenced him with guitar and the Jim Croce sound while he learned piano from his mother. Yes, he passed away just after their major label release in 96. It's very sad as Bradley was a great songwriter and would have def had some more hits. You have to react to "Badfish" It's a great tune

You gotta do "April 29th 1992" by Sublime. Its a little more rap-ish, and the meaning behind it is dope

Brad Nowell unfortunately left this world at the young age of 28 due to a heroin overdose. He was found in his hotel room on the ground with his dalmatian, Louie or Lou Dog, whimpering next to his body. He left behind a wife and 1-year-old son. Fast forward 28 years and his son Jakob, at the age of 28, has reunited the band's remaining members and stepped into his dad's place actually using and playing all of his dad's old equipment. I would also like to suggest some No Doubt. Mainly the songs "Don't Speak" "I'm Just a Girl" and "Spiderwebs." This was Gwen Stefani's original band. A punk rock band, and she and her band were extremely close to Brad and Sublime in the 90's.

The whole album is fantastic. I highly recommend it. Lead singer was dead before the album blew up, that's why they showed him in the video the way they did.

The lead singers son just performed with the rest of the band at Coachella last week. It was creepy how similar he sounded to his dad. Please check it out

Crazy! The same thing happened to my dog way back in the day, except it was a single sugar cube, but same circumstance.

I always liked Caress Me Down. I was always impressed by how he seamlessly switches between English and Spanish during it.

Check out; Caress Me Down. It so Chicano. He sings in Spanish. Bradley Nowel died, I hear, at a record release party! Sad

Bruh I'm loving the deep dive into older music. So much truth in the lyrics ❤❤❤❤

Bradley Nowel died before the release of their breakthrough album, the dalmation was his dog and I believe was featured in most/all of their videos from this album.

Loved hearing this song in the club. Everyone in the club used to scream out that part ""i got something for his punk ass" good times that is for sure. Love how the video and lyrics of the song have nothing to do with each other. The song is about a sancho that is messing with the guy's woman.

The singer Brad has a son who is now playing with the band. He's sounds just like his dad

Cali baby the good old days Yes sir

Great song to react to! Weather just broke where I am after a long bad spell of ick. Do more Sublime! They weren't around long, but they have a great catalog.

Sublime has some really dark lyrics with such a mellow vibe. Like Cypress Hill’s original version of Kill a Man, sone early Chili Peppers, and some other bags around that time.

lol i really loke that yiu guys do the little teaser for yourselves before the full reaction.

What they captured was the end of an era where music was made by musicians, with heart, feeling, and, SOUL, instead of electronic bullshit!

Here in yhe north east we have a cover band who play mostly sublime songs. Got to love it

I loved Sublime back in high school (late 90s). They are very underrated. Many of their songs are like this. Hope you review/revisit more of their tracks.

This is one of my top karaoke songs!!! Throwing it down vato style from Austin, Texas!! Greetings to ya'll.

I'm curious has anyone requested or mentioned doing a reaction to Marty Robbins?

Finally you get to Sublime! Good job. Try some Slightly Stoopid next...good vibes.

You gotta check out all their other stuff, too, man! It’s like listening to Bob Marley or something. It can transport you to a time and place that you’ve never even been!

I feel like this song is very similar to “The Last Resort” by Papa roach. Where everybody’s vibing to the song so much that they don’t realize it’s a pretty dark song

Doing time featuring the Pharcyde from the What I Got seven song single would be up y'alls alley

Sublime was awesome. You should definitely check out more. They were perfect at mixing ska, hip hop, and reggae together.

What I got, Wrong Way, April 29th 1992, Get Ready, Pawn Shop, Doin' Time, 40oz to Freedom, Smoke 2 Joints, Ebin, Date R*pe, Rivers of Babylon, Caress Me Down, Badfish are all absolute killer tracks. And if you wanna little extra fun What I got Reprise is awesome basically acoustic version. With Sublime you gotta just look at it as stories for the sake of stories. Just chill and enjoy

Badfish is a must. Knowing how Bradley died (Heroin OD) makes it hit that much harder. Regardless of the stories some people will tell about him, he was incredibly talented. Edit: He was 28 when he passed.

Just want to tell you BP. You and your daughter song is so beautiful. God bless you and your wife, and soon 2 daughters !

What do you want to play in the car to make you feel happy. That’s sublime

Sublime is the magic mix of punk,ska,hiphop,rock,reggae,funk,surf,latin and whatever else brad liked............... toss it in the bowl and start smokin................ not a bad song in their whole catalogue.........

The Violent Femmes! "Blister In The Sun" is awesome!

RIP Bradley and Lou Dog!!! Sublime forever!!! Sublime is back with Bradley's son, Jakob Nowell!!! ❤❤❤

Violent Femmes was my favorite band in high school. My first date at 15 was going to their concert. "Kiss Off" is my rec! P.S. I had noooo idea what this song was about!

So many good tracks so little time😂 what will we do❤❤

Yay!!! You did it! Awesome!

When I use to Uber drive people would freak out when I would get them to realize this song is about plotting murder.

You guys should listen to their song: "April 29th 1992" from the Same album. It's about being in LA during the Rodney King riots. Or if you want another vibe like "Santeria", their song "Badfish" is one that takes me back and gives me that summer, youth feeling. I'm sure you've heard it even if you don't know it. They had many bangers though. Classic.

Sancho be snaking in your parts , but where I'm from at the same type dude is called "Jody". Like my buddy at work will be like "Why Aint my girl answering the phone ? !" And the rest of us look at each other and say "Its because Jody is there ' !!! Sancho and Jody need to be a tag team and hate on everybody lol !!!

Dang! This album is giving me serious flashbacks, so nostalgic. I can smell the weed and patchouli 😂

He died right as the band started taking off. The band still exists last i knew as the long beach dub all stars or something along those lines.

It's such a perfect summer, windows down, chill song.

Yeah he died before the video came out. The dog in the video was his dog Lou Dog that he loved, so he kind of took Brads place in the video.

Holy shit a Violent Femmes reference! Word!

Talking about music that you've heard a billion times and never actually knew what it is about these dudes should do a reaction to "Hey Ya"

Bro! This whole album is fire 🔥

Bradley was part of the 27 club, I think. Also the dog was his dog Louie. These guys give off the good vibes because they're reggae/ska adjacent. They're somewhere in between the Mexican culture, hip hop, punk rock, and Ska. Bradley Nowell was a genius and yeah they are gangster AF. Their whole catalog is great. Every tune people suggest is correct. They're that good. My favorite is that they did a song about the LA Riots called April 26, 1992. As powerful as Rage, but a vibe! And Don is 100% right about Violent Femmes. I'm also picturing him all geeked out on acid. Absolute legend.
