Jim always seemed to me like he'd be the coolest dad ever...
+Steve Dudeman Love is what he has, through the death of Brad became life that expanded into the millions of minds across the world. Now I can see that it was a divine gift that he had left for all of humanity who can so easily relate across the lyrics to his songs. Their is so much more than just lyrics, happy you were able to see that firsthand around that time. Many good vibes my bother. Bradley will never be forgotten, the universe will make sure of it. Have a great day Steve

How sad. No parent should ever have to bury a child..
kelle Thomas he was turned to ashes
sublime helped me with some really tough times
Same here brother... Lots and lots of bad times. But I would not change it for a second because Sublime was there to help through it all.
Same * - *
Same and still does. Would do anything to have been able to see him live
same here
@@4dr_1an great band
Brad's son Jakob is all grown up now and has his own band. Search Jakob Nowell LAW. He sounds so much like his dad at times... It's beautiful. I've waited roughly 18 years to hear that voice and it completely blew me away.
awishedforsong bitch you are deaf
I feel the same way
@@eighteennakedcowboys drunk comments of hate I pity you but forgive your ignorance. I busy now so love
💚💚💚
... and now we have the Coachella show with the kid at the helm. It's come full circle.
I started crying when he says I’d rather have Bradley and not the music father’s loss is irreplaceable.
I've been an opiate addict for 15 years, sober for 2 years, and Bradley's music has helped me so much. We miss you Bradley! Your music will live on in our hearts forever, and we are so lucky to have had you on this earth as long as we did. RIP Brad
Keep fighting brother! Remember, you fall down 7 times you get up 8!
5 years later brother I hope you’re still fighting 👊
That is truly heartbreaking. Love all the Sublime paraphernalia all over his office.
Brad nowell was and is the greatest ever. He sang straight from the soul.
"ain't got no time to get old" says it all
I understand how his father feels about having him here if he never picked up a guitar but him picking up a guitar has helped thousands maybe millions of people. Godspeed Bradley.
RIP Brad, we miss you man but your music hasn't aged at all!
I love Bradley Nowell . Hes a Legend & brings life to me each every day I listen to him . wish he was still here r.I.p The Great Bradley Nowell miss u man
Watching this today...May 25th 2020 in memory of Bradley Nowell ✌🏻😔
A father just wants his baby back! And would trade anything for it. You never know true love till you have a child. R.I.P. Brad
Thank you sir. Your son was one of a kind. We feel your pain.
Jim just know all of it was not in vain because i dealt with a prescription pill addiction for years and the night my daughter was born I had so many milligrams coursing through my body it wasn't safe but most people turn to heroin for the cheaper price but because of people like bradley and Shannon hoon I found salvation and im here now sober for 2 years and I saw my little girls 6th and about to see her 7th because of your son and I plan on showing her videos of your son and your amazing family to hopefully keep her off drugs. Just know the music means everything to us and hopefully him being a bad fish will help alot of people swim free. God bless you and your family and Troy and Jakob and everyone else and again know it was and never will be for nothing. Much love to the family and I hope you and all involved find peace and solace in the words I speak.
+Jenna love because when your eating 30-50 pills a day at $8-$20 a pop heroin is WAAAAAAAY cheaper.
it is extremely cheap compared to literally any other similar drug out there. it becomes expensive when a person's tolerance increases so much that they need to do a massive amount of it to keep up the high, but still would be way cheaper than any pill that could achieve the same affect
Keep fighting brother! Remember you fall down 7 times you get up 8!
Still sober and loving the clarity with my daughter.
God Bless!
You can tell how much his dad loves and misses him
Yeasublime is the reason I want to play guitar all the time thanks BRAD
So little is known about Brad the person. Heroin isn't a party drug--it's something you use when your soul hurts due to severe trauma, mental illness or other serious issues. When/where did he first try it? What was his motivation for doing so? His upbeat party music is a thin veil for something darker, as you can hear in lyrics like those in 'Badfish' & 'Pool Shark'. We know so much more about Joplin, Cobain & Hendrix's backgrounds than we do this guy.
Bradley left a impact on anyone who has ever listened to his songs, wether it was scaring a grandma, or entertaining musicians with the gig of music. I use his lyrics as slogans all the time.
Jim, your son made a difference in my life...
Im 32… hard to believe my hero, died at 28.. such a young man… a kid, honestly… RIP Brad
“A taste of honey is worse than none at all”
Brad lives on in his music. I'm 27 and I am attending school and a lot of kids 18 love the original Sublime .....long live Brad.
God bless papa nowell. A genuine good man.
I was born after he passed but grew up listening to sublime, and it frustrates me endlessly that this the reality of what happened. I looked up “Bradley Nowells father” and it brought me here, today happened to be 23 years he’s been gone
You son meant more to me than anyone ive never met in my life. From the first track i listened to till the last i was never once a casual fan. I bought everything I could get my hands on. He was a writer, composer, producer, mike controller, he had it all. God only knows how much solid gold he had left in him. #ripbrad
I never got the chance to meet Bradley, but I think every day what the world would be like if he were here. He is such a unique soul, and I would give anything to have him back even if he never picked up the guitar again. I only wish I had the blessing to meet him. He was right, the taste of honey is worse than none at all, and I wish he never learned.
Top ten best bands of all time.....in my opinion
Good to see Papa Nowell talking about Brad
R.I.P Brad. R.I.P Lou Dog. Forever missed and loved dearly.
Rip doesn't do s*** 🚭
That says it all. Take note. Brad has the coolest legacy ever and yet his father would exchange it to have him back. Tells you what’s really important in life.
Brad was the greatest human being to this day. Tho his life was pleaged with addiction and the depression it causes, and still changed the world with the light and beuty of his music for the better he will be remembered as long as i live i can assure that...
Rest in peace, Brad...you are forever loved and dearly missed.
The music lives in..
Thank you for giving us Brad
👍🏼😰👍🏼 all I hear is a man that misses his son...
You're not the only one, but your the best Bradley! BO BO.
Happy Father's Day 2019 Jim Nowell!
R.I.P Bradley Nowell
I understand, missing my ownly child. My daughter and I loved sublime
Im so sorry for your loss. Brad and his music has had such a positive influence on my life, ill always be thankful for that.
Your the best BRADLEY!!!!!!!!
shit man, one of the coolest musicians raised by what seems like one of the coolest dads.
do ciebie, Bradley. rest well man
When you touch someone's life and then leave, people miss you. R.I.P. Brad.
Ugh, I hurt for him, Papa Nowell we wish we had Brad and the music
happy birthday brad!
God Bless you pops. I grew up with your sons music...and it did, and still does, bring me great joy.
I was such a HUGE fan as a teenager and I went through addiction myself. I'm 3 years sober and I've been revisiting my love-affair with Sublime. It's different now. Before I was younger than Brad. Now I'm older and I see so many parallels between he and I. Very similar in our childhood experiences, musical tastes/experiences and even the same kind of addicts (not just DOC but the reasons we used and our mentality in doing so).
I listen to Sublime now and listen to Jim and Brad's wife talk about him and I'm just so overcome with sadness. I love the music so much, but it's almost painful for me to experience it now. Bittersweet.
God bless the Nowell family 💚✌️
Sublime helps me on a daily basis, but a day goes by that I dont listen to a sublime song or think of sublime
Your son and his music meant so much to so many. He will never be forgotten ♥
He changed lives. I hope some day I can say the same. Brad was a gift to this world!
Jim Nowell you are a beautiful man , as was your son.
there will never be another bradley. socals finest forsure rip big dogg, well jam out one day no doubt. rip
He let them shred and they all always appreciated him. Totally fuck with him lol but loved him. He took Brad to Jamaica and that's where he fell in love with Reggae and then came back to the LBC and shit progressed from there. He was intrigued with Reggae guitar chops. He evolved spanking to another level. I still worship this guy
2022 - Sublime will never die.
that block at the end says it best "In memory of bradley nowell, he was sublime"
Sublime will never die. I miss our brad
RIP to the most qualified ever to represent the LBC
I can tear up with joy while listening to some of his/their songs.I know I will love those albums with him for life however long that may be.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Thanks for the music and memories Brad. Rest in peace buddy.
Love the poster at 1:45 , RIP brad and lou we miss you but never forget you!
SUBLIME put Long Beach on the map!!! RIP brother, gone but never forgotten. Every time I go back home to Long Beach California I spark up a joint, pop open a beer, jam Sublime right on the light house on the beach...priceless!!!
im sorry this brings tears to my eyes... this man was truly the one of the all time greatest musicians to walk this planet. no offense to rome but they need to rename the band....sublime died with bradley....
Sublime is Legendary and brad is it too
R.I.P. Brad, wish you were still here creating amazing music.
Sublime is a huge part of our lives!!!
It's all love
Love Sublime and Bradley was a great musician and entertainer.
I had some big salty tears after watching that.
RIP music keeps me going.
Brad is Sublime! I've been a fan for years my sons love Sublime! R.i.p Brad! We miss you buddy!
Good to see Bradly's father is still around a doing good.
Sublime 4 ever
Wonderful interview
R.I.P.
I can definitely relate to brads music, It's a shame, but you know whenever someone has such great ability you will also find they have equally bad tendencies or the yang to the yen. He was a cool dude from what i can tell and all of the acts coming out of cali now days reppn the same kind of music have brad to thanks.
Happy birthday 🎂bradman
Makes us realize how selfish we can be sometimes. I’m sure bradley wanted to be that for his dad but it’s a long battle as he says “one day i will lose the war”.
RIP Bradley.
rest in peace brad , inspiration to many :(
This videos has no dislikes... That's good, Brad was the man!
Agree. Sad that Brad ain't here. He's not a God but he was a great singer/entertainer. Brad's songs will be played at my funeral.
DUDE HE HAS EVERY SUBLIME ALBUM UNOPENED THAT'S SO FUCKING COOL
2023❤❤😢
my dawg, spoken like the prophet
This made me me cry a bit. :'(
PAPAS LOVE IS WARM BUT IT WONT BURN YOU.
I got you and understand ❤
blessings!!
Grace to you, Brad. Miss you, bro~
Cheers.
Rest in peace Brad.
@gwennodoubtrock Hello! :) Sublime have reformed with a new singer under the name 'Sublime With Rome', Their new album is out in 5 days and can be streamed on their Facebook page! Also they did two dates in Manchester and London last year, both selling out, and another London date this June just gone. I missed the dates last year because I was in France :( Nice to meet another UK fan like me! :)
Sublime saved my life no joke
amen
Good Vid! Seen the record on the wall at Cal State Dominquez hills, word!
Thank god Brad left a son for his father.
I miss Bradley! And damn his office is what's up lol
Southern California native.
"rome is not brad" he knows. bradley saved me, and his music gave me a reason to live.
great lyrics
Even if Bradley did not pick up a guitar he may have still have dabbled in heroin and would have died for nothing. Now, Bradley is a huge figure in music and an inspiration
