    When Brad passed away it was so sudden and unexpected...one day my friends and I were buying Sublime tickets then the next the concert was canceled because of Brad's passing 😔 all the great musicians are almost all gone but I give every single one credit for making it.

      My dad bought me the CD (1996), I was prolly 11 years old. No idea who they were at the time but I still have the CD to this day and at points in my life it was my favorite album.

    That voicemail brings back sad memories of a childhood friend. He started on drugs in middle school and never got out of that cycle except for a few jail stints and rehab failures. I quit hanging with him in high school bc he was getting into a very bad scene. Burglarizing homes and God only knows what else to feed his habit. Anyways he used to leave long ass voicemails like that for me until long after we quit hanging. I think in his stupor sometimes he didn't even realize we hadn't really been friends like that in a very long time. He passed away at 24 from combined drug overdose. I cried. Don't do drugs yall. RIP Jeremy. RIP Bradley.

    You literally just read the wikipedia page, slapped a few other videos in between the sections, and sprinkled in some synthwave music because that totally matches the vibe and aesthetic of this band. This is the laziest "documentary" I've ever wasted time on.

    It’s stupid how people associate heroin and overdose death to rock stars and wonder why it’s so common… heroin and overdose is as common with any profession… your account, plumber, bartender, gardener etc… That’s how prevalent users are at hiding addictions.

    I remember going to early sublime concerts. Brad was a frigging genius. And Jacob has always sounded like his dad. Even when with LAW the first time I heard his voice I could have sworn it was Brad's voice coming through. I'm glad he's trying this for his dad, because they both have such haunting voices it gives me chills. Rock on forever Sublime.
    I'll never forget when I'd heard he'd died. I was heartbroken. For his wife, for his son, for his band and loved one's and selfishly for myself there was something about them that I connected with on a very deep level. He'll never know what he got me through. But I want to say thank you all the same. Much love all.
    And still love Long Beach Dub Allstars as well.

    Sublime could jam, almost like they had their own musical language that they could speak off the cuff. Some of the best work from this band is in the form of demos and studio recordings, and from the album Everything Under the Sun. Thanks for being here for a while Brad.

    To people sitting on how to pronounce Sublime, while technically they're right (how the word itself is properly pronounced) I suppose there's also an argument to be made for the fact that it was Brad's band and he, himself, says the word wrong (16:19) which I guess you could say is the proper way to pronounce it, pertaining to the band. Personally, I've always said it the other way. Not that anyone gives a shit. Just sounds funny hearing the emphasis on SUB.

One would think you would do research on your subject, sources, and influences. It's just sloppy work. If a person is doing an information piece do the simple things and pronounce the names correctly Its lazy,
