Yes, unfortunately, it was an overdose. Truly a great loss, one of many legendary artists from the '90's era gone before his time. R.I.P. To all of them: - Bradly Nowell - Layne Staley - Kurt Cobain - Chris Cornell - Scott Weiland - Andrew Wood - Chester Bennington - Dave Williams - And many more. . . .
Bu the time they broke with this album Brad already died. Everyone was very conscious of it at the time. Wrong Way and Caress Me Down are two more you should check out.
Brad Nowell’s mother (nurse) saved my son’s life when he was an infant, he had a respiratory infection that nearly killed him. We spent a lot of time w/ her during his recovery period and told us stories about Brad, and told us that she felt it redeeming that she could help to save someone else’s life after the loss of her own child. Forever grateful and will never forget. And yes, great talent and band…RIP Brad 🎗️
What a beautiful way of remembering such a talented young man ❤ Thank you for sharing this with us ❤🇨🇦 BTW...love the dire straits reference of username 👍🏻🎸
R.I.P. Bradley. Sublime took over my life in the mid 90's, all the way up through my teens. Damn near everything they made skipped my ears and shot right into my soul. Goofy, endearing, stupid, hilarious, motivated, ironic, powerful....didn't matter. The non-verbal verse of Wrong Way gets stuck in my head at random times. I almost started typing out the songs i love the most, but thankfully, I stopped myself once I realized it would have been a list like 20 songs deep. I still hit up the rarities album Pure Anus these days, just for the groove.
It's worth pointing out that Santería is a Cuban folk religion of sorts. It's treated as a type of witchcraft, and has ties to Voodoo. Offerings, animal sacrifices, talking to the spirits of the dead, etc. So, in a way it kinda makes sense that the music video for 'Santaria'' would feature Bradley Nowell's ghost. Although the song actually starts with "I DON'T practice Santeria, I ain't got no crystal ball"..... lol
My favorite Sublime song of all time. This video is a tribute to Bradley Nowell who died.Lou Dog The Dalmation was his dog.Tiny (Deebo)Lister has also passed away back in 2020.
I didn’t hear about Tiny Lister passing. That makes me sad. Way before Friday, I remember seeing him in an HBO series called 1st & 10, a fictional behind the scenes of an NFL team.
I guess I've never seen this video. It was made after Brad had died, so it's just his bandmates and his dog, and Brad's spirit. That's heartbreaking. Two great classic summertime albums by this band. Tons of character in those songs, and great bass and guitar. Loved this band. Check out Badfish, or Summertime.
Brad’s son Jakob is finally emotionally ready to fill his dad’s shoes and join his uncles on stage. They’ve played a bit but their real debut will be at Coachella.
Brad died of a heroin overdose while on tour, one week after marrying his girlfriend and 11 months after the birth of their son. All that and the band was just about to blow up. A tragic loss. A few months after his death there was a benefit concert for his family which was headlined by No Doubt.
@@phila3884 Gwen was on the live version of "I Saw Red" from the Robbin' the Hood album. "Total Hate" is Bradley and Sublime on a No Doubt song though both are from the weenie roast festival the same year.
That late 90s/early 2000s was great! If you enjoyed Sublime, you will probably enjoy a band named 311. With summer coming to its official end, check out 311's "Amber." Summer vibes all the way! 💯👍🔥
@shanenormand7711 Have they done any 311 yet? I don't remember any. I love 311. They are from my home state of Nebraska. Been listening to them since the beginning.
Their album Sublime (from 1996) is one of those very few albums that I literally love every single song on… that’s honestly very rare (for me anyway) I love Sublime and brings back some great memories from the 90s!!
BOUT TIME!!! ♥️💛💚 311 - 'Amber' is a must! Whole genre of Reggae-Rock to get into: Slightly Stoopid, Rebelution, Iration, The Elovaters, The Movement, The Skints, Pepper, Stick Figure, Tribal Seeds, Passafire, 3rd Alley, etc.
Love Sublime! Try "Doin' Time" or "Badfish". Such an awesome band. The ghost in the video is the band's singer. He unfortunately died of an overdose before this album and video got widely released. He never got to see how huge his band eventually got and what a legacy he and they left. The dog in the video was the singer's beloved dalmatian, Lou Dog. RIP Bradley Nowell ✌️💐
OMG! Love BADFISH! That song brings back so many amazing memories from my youth (I just turned 50) and the reggae beat. I really hope they do that one soon.
Doin' Time is one of my favorite summer chill songs. Summertiiiiiiime, and the living's easy. Lots of Longbeach references that I had to look up, but even without understanding all the lyrics the vibe shines through.
Bad Fish! 40 oz to freedom. Smoke two joints was also very popular lol. I have seen their cover band Badfish two times and its always great, but forever sad we couldn't see Sublime.
The story of Sublime is tragic in two ways. Not only did their genius lead singer/songwriter Bradley Nowell die at just 28 in 1996, he died right before Sublime starting getting super popular. So he never even lived long enough to witness their popularity
Bradley's ashes were spread out in the ocean and when his dog Lou Dog passed they took his ashes and spread them at the same location so they could be together again. Brad and his dog loved each other so much
Yes the lead singer overdosed on heroin two months before this album dropped. This album exploded their name into the mainstream music culture, for the alternative music crowd though it was bittersweet. I echo the comments about checking out the band 311, and you should definitely check out their song aptly named "Amber", because Amber will love it.
So happy you got back to Sublime. This is one of their best songs. Now you need to do the band that they toured with: 311 - their perfect song for your channel is "Amber" (for obvious reasons).
I met Deebo while working at Boston Logan airport in the middle 80s. Sweetest man. I had NO clue who he was until everyone ran over to him for autographs. But before they came over we had a short funny conversation about him disturbing my peace (I was sitting on a milk crate bored while reading a magazine) I felt his presence and then just continued to looking up until I got to his face. He laughed. Very nice man!
I was wondering when you’re were gonna get back to Sublime. Please check out “Doin’ Time” next. So many good songs to listen to. Also, kind of in the same ball park is 311…definitely have to check out their song “Amber”…well cuz obviously lol.
Sitting here at the end....thinking and hoping; select and react to "Smoke Two Joints" right now, please! Sublime has got at least a half dozen handfuls of good songs yet to try.
Dig the Ska music vibe of Sublime. First time hearing this song. The ghost was the late singer of the band Bradley Nowell who almost joined the 27 club (he was 28 ). Passed from a drug OD. RIP Brad.
The ghost is the singer Bradley he died of an overdose before the video was made that dog Lou dog was his dog that is why they had him looking at the ghost of Bradley
One of my favorite Sublime songs. I'm a Latina/Chicana so it features aspects of my heritage, especially the practice of Santeria. The loss of Brad,may he rest in peace, was heartbreaking. But they gave us some great music. And RIP Tom "Tiny" Lister. I know we know him as Deebo but I also loved him as the president in The Fifth Element. 😎👍
First time I saw him was in a Matlock episode. Everyone liked him enough to make him a semi-regular. He was a con, Matlock got him out, he started working security for them. Last time I saw him he was tossing the trigger to a bomb out the window of a boat in The Dark Knight.
An ex-boyfriend gave me a Sublime cd years and years ago when I was in high school; the relationship didn't last, but I still have the cd. I love this band, you'll definitely need to check out more of their songs.
Love Sublime. Probably late to the party but, the lead singer passed. So, his *ghost*, and his dog. Also saw mention of 311. One of my faves is an easy, breezy song, Sunset in July… great summer vibes!
I was like seventeen and had a fake ID back in 1993. On a random Tuesday night we went to this bar in Long Beach called Barwinkles that we always went to. Sublime was playing there that night. I had no idea who they were but I remember being absolutely mesmerized and thinking that this band was something special.
If you like sublime, please check out the band 311. They have the same laidback, Jamaican influence vibe! They have a song called “Amber” that I know you guys will love! Especially Amber haha I promise you won’t be disappointed!
The tragedy of Brad dying and taking almost all that magic with him was so sad...Bud and Eric were great but Brad wrote the music, sang the songs and played lead guitar he WAS Sublime and him passing right before they were about to EXPLODE is SO TRAGIC...Sublime's music is a big part of my highschool years, his passing was the only celebrity death that made me shed a tear
Love sublime they don't get the credit and the attention they deserve....do "CARESS ME DOWN" next to get another cool vibe from them...... do more.... do more Garden Grove .. wrong way... etc..
One of my favorite albums of all time is 40Oz To Freedom. You must react to Scarlett Begonias and Rivers of Babylon. Date Rape is also a really important song especially for its time. To me Sublime was the Beach Boys of my time, just the pure sound of California Summer.
If you're digging this Sublime song then I think you'll love the bands 311 and The Dirty Heads. As someone else mentioned the song Amber by 311 is a good one to start with for chillin summer vibes and obviously for our girl Amber lol.
Oh man such a MAJORLY underrated band, with the most unique sound ever. Just think of all the music we got screwed-out of just because of drugs. What a shame.
Yes, Bradley Nowell died of a heroin overdose in 1996 right before Sublime began to find mainstream success. Pool Shark from the Stand by your Van album is about his battle with addiction and one of my favorite songs. However, I would suggest Doin' Time (eerie splendor remix) from the Second Hand Smoke album. This tune has an awesome groove to it.
I'm still going to say that I'm pissed they only take requests from those paying people. I love em but we can't all afford to pay to have you react to our suggestions
There is a whole genre that is slept on in the reaction community. Bands like Sublime, Pepper, Slightly Stoopid, Fortunate Youth. There are geniuses here and I haven't seen any reactions.
God I love Sublime. To my knowledge you are the first I've seen react to them. I'm not sure if RUclips will let you do the next 2 songs I recommend but they are "Wrong Way" and "Smoke Two Joints". I think maybe the safer bet would be "Wrong Way". R.I.P Bradley ❤️
"Scarlet Begonias" (Greatful Dead cover), "Badfish", "40oz to Freedom", and "the wrong way" are all Masterpiece songs from Sublime amongst many others. Every song on every album are so unique and so easy to groove or jam to.
@@_Shadoh_ Especially the 'Stand by Your Van' live version. That whole album is fantastic my favorite version of "S.T.P" is on there as well as "Poolshark" and "KRS One".
Sublime is by far one of my favorite bands. They mix rock with reggae with Ska and a little hip-hop. I love the island. Beach type vibe. They definitely inspired a different style of music.
Please, please more Sublime! I know most will suggest the song Badfish, but knowing your tastes, I really think you’ll enjoy - “Doin’ Time (Uptown Dub). Thanks for the great content Rob and Amber!
Loved this! I'm going to nominate 2 songs for Female Fridays from the 90s - Garbage "I think I'm Paranoid" & Madonna "Frozen" because it's so different to what you've seen.
Good song! On another note, how are you guys not reacting to some of the best of Issac Hayes? He has so much going on from his work with Stax Records (writing) in the 1960s right up to his death. I would like to suggest his live performance at the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame from 2002; “Shaft”. Spectacularly, Fantastic! It will take you breath away!
Check out the song, April 26, 1992 by Sublime...its about the riots after the police brutally beat up Rodney King....and please do react to 311 the song Amber, I've been trying to get you to do it for the past 2 yrs.....lol🤘👽🤘
Sublime made some very cool tunes. The ghost was their singer Brad Nowell. The dog was Brad's dog too. Sadly, drugs took him from us too soon. They have some really great tunes about some serious things. April 26 1992, Date Rape, the Wrong Way.. there's a lot of great stuff by Sublime. They're kind of a bridge between punk rock and ska. I know they did a version of Toots and the Maytals' classic 54-48. They also did Rivers of Babylon. Great band. This song is great, but they were so much more than this. I spent a lot of time HAF listening to these guys. I was in college when this was out. It was a blast!
Concrete Jungle, from Bob Marley’s album Catch A Fire. But make sure you get the US version. Wayne Perkins’ guitar solo is one of the best of all time, as far as fitting the song and giving it EXACTLY what it needs!
I think I mentioned this a little while back. Within the last 6 months I'm guessing. There is a great burgeoning and has been for some time. Rock hard Rock and metal scene out of Japan for well over a decade. And many of these groups are comprised in part or completely made up of women. Groups like Band Maid, and Nemophilia. Among a bunch of others. From Indonesia, three hijab wearing tiny young women. In the rock funk metal group VOB. Which stands for Voice of Baceprot. Maybe something a little different for your channel. One day a week doing a song or two. From these great bands from that part of the world. But like I said especially out of Japan for the last decade or so. Take care and be well always.
40oz to Freedom is a good song of theirs. First heard it featured on the legendary rollerblading video Hoax 2 Anarchy Across America, which has a great soundtrack.
Sublime is a great band! They had a ton of hits, and I'm sure Amber recognizes that line because she must of heard it in passing. This song was everywhere once upon a time! They have so many hits, so I am sure you'll get a ton of requests. Sublime blended punk rock with reggae and ska, so they had a very unique sound. One of my favorites, though, is "Wrong Way." I think that was their third biggest hit. If you liked this one, you might also like "Badfish" which has a similar vibe. "Doin' Time" was another huge hit, but I think the remixes featuring various other artists are better than the album version. My favorite version is the one featuring The Pharcyde. That said, their catalog is so deep, there are literally dozens of options.
Yes, the ghostly visage is Bradly Nowell, lead singer/guitarist. He died right before this album released, heroin overdose I believe. RIP Brad.
Yes, unfortunately, it was an overdose. Truly a great loss, one of many legendary artists from the '90's era gone before his time. R.I.P. To all of them:
- Bradly Nowell
- Layne Staley
- Kurt Cobain
- Chris Cornell
- Scott Weiland
- Andrew Wood
- Chester Bennington
- Dave Williams
- And many more. . . .
I've been suggesting some Tom T. Hall.. for a while.. to no awhile.
I was a block away when it happened 😔
Bu the time they broke with this album Brad already died. Everyone was very conscious of it at the time. Wrong Way and Caress Me Down are two more you should check out.
God that is so so sad- what a beautiful way to honor him

R.I.P. Bradley. Sublime took over my life in the mid 90's, all the way up through my teens. Damn near everything they made skipped my ears and shot right into my soul. Goofy, endearing, stupid, hilarious, motivated, ironic, powerful....didn't matter. The non-verbal verse of Wrong Way gets stuck in my head at random times.

Yes, Bradley passed away before the video was shot. Lou Dog was his dog, as well.
Great song. Can't believe I've never seen the video for it until now.
Big hooray for the 90s! Please check out Tool and Rage Against the Machine.
It's worth pointing out that Santería is a Cuban folk religion of sorts. It's treated as a type of witchcraft, and has ties to Voodoo.
Offerings, animal sacrifices, talking to the spirits of the dead, etc.
So, in a way it kinda makes sense that the music video for 'Santaria'' would feature Bradley Nowell's ghost.

My favorite Sublime song of all time. This video is a tribute to Bradley Nowell who died.Lou Dog The Dalmation was his dog.Tiny (Deebo)Lister has also passed away back in 2020.
Props to Lou Dog....in the van. 😉
I’ve never understood how a song with such sad (and violent) lyrics still make you groove like you’re sitting on an island. Interesting song.
Lou Dog sitting looking at Bradley’s ghost got me.
I didn’t hear about Tiny Lister passing. That makes me sad. Way before Friday, I remember seeing him in an HBO series called 1st & 10, a fictional behind the scenes of an NFL team.
@@donjackson5522 Tiny played the President in the 5th Element. I loved he got to do that part.
I guess I've never seen this video. It was made after Brad had died, so it's just his bandmates and his dog, and Brad's spirit. That's heartbreaking.
Two great classic summertime albums by this band. Tons of character in those songs, and great bass and guitar. Loved this band. Check out Badfish, or Summertime.
Doin' Time(Summertime)
@@ronnelson7828 That's the one 👍
Brad’s son Jakob is finally emotionally ready to fill his dad’s shoes and join his uncles on stage. They’ve played a bit but their real debut will be at Coachella.
"Bad Fish" and "40 oz. To Freedom" 😊
They'll love Badfish!
The lead guy in this band died way, way too young.
Great band, though.
Brad died of a heroin overdose while on tour, one week after marrying his girlfriend and 11 months after the birth of their son. All that and the band was just about to blow up. A tragic loss. A few months after his death there was a benefit concert for his family which was headlined by No Doubt.
and who woulda thought that they'd be just as popular 26 years later
Gwen Stefani and No Doubt show up on at least one song with Sublime.
@@raife0159 The song is "Total Hate". Been on my playlist since i discovered it about 10 years ago.

I'm honestly shocked they haven't listened to "Amber" yet, for obvious reasons....
@@nicksmith3623 It's so good!👍✌️
Oops I just made the same comment, before I scrolled down to yours.
I've been asking for 311 for a while. Their breakout hit is Down. Then go from there
@shanenormand7711 Have they done any 311 yet? I don't remember any. I love 311. They are from my home state of Nebraska. Been listening to them since the beginning.
Rip Bradley Nowell. Love his voice so much
How about some Creed My Own Prison 🔥
Great song. You guys should listen to The Wrong Way by Sublime
"Caress me Down" is another song from this album that you guys should check out. It really showcases Bradley's vocal and lyrical talents.
Their album Sublime (from 1996) is one of those very few albums that I literally love every single song on… that’s honestly very rare (for me anyway) I love Sublime and brings back some great memories from the 90s!!
It's sad when a dog has to bury its owner.
Let’s go!!✌️😊💙🦋 have we done 311 Amber???
This x 1000!!!
I agree. Perfect song to close out the official end of summer! 💯👍🔥
I concur. .311 is much needed...
BOUT TIME!!! ♥️💛💚 311 - 'Amber' is a must!
Whole genre of Reggae-Rock to get into: Slightly Stoopid, Rebelution, Iration, The Elovaters, The Movement, The Skints, Pepper, Stick Figure, Tribal Seeds, Passafire, 3rd Alley, etc.

OMG! Love BADFISH! That song brings back so many amazing memories from my youth (I just turned 50) and the reggae beat. I really hope they do that one soon.
Me too. I'm 51 and had some amazing memories to that song lol.@@girlmiaful
@@girlmiaful Definitely! Brings me back to high school. Really hoping they do that one.
Santeria is my favourite of theirs. “Badfish” and “wrong way” are also great and should be next to react to.
Doin' Time is one of my favorite summer chill songs. Summertiiiiiiime, and the living's easy. Lots of Longbeach references that I had to look up, but even without understanding all the lyrics the vibe shines through.

Debo Tiny Lester from Arkansas died. Bradley the lead singer of sublime died of a drug overdose. Sublime is no longer a band.
Sublime has so many good songs in their library, smoke 2 joints, pawn shop, date rape.. too many to mention.
I think that you guys would enjoy: Paul Westerberg - Dyslexic Heart.

Yes, Bradley Nowell died of a heroin overdose in 1996 right before Sublime began to find mainstream success. Pool Shark from the Stand by your Van album is about his battle with addiction and one of my favorite songs.
However, I would suggest Doin' Time (eerie splendor remix) from the Second Hand Smoke album. This tune has an awesome groove to it.
I'm still going to say that I'm pissed they only take requests from those paying people. I love em but we can't all afford to pay to have you react to our suggestions
There's no such thing as a bad Sublime song.
My favorite sublime song.
You'll love 311 they are kinda similar to Sublime except more rockin.
Could you guys please react to Everlast I really think you’d like his song What it’s like

Smoke Two Joints would be good to add to the list at the end. :)
No one else has mentioned it but the song Date Rape is definitely worth a listen. It’s an anti- rape message so don’t let the name scare you.
Definitely have to do "Doin' Time (Summertime)" next. The bass is window-shattering. It was recently covered by Lana Del Ray.
Excellent suggestion!!!
So glad you played this song. It was one of the artist I requested in an e-mail along with so many others.
"Scarlet Begonias" (Greatful Dead cover), "Badfish", "40oz to Freedom", and "the wrong way" are all Masterpiece songs from Sublime amongst many others. Every song on every album are so unique and so easy to groove or jam to.
I agree with all of these and I'd like to add my favourite, "Ebin", to the list 😊 but nobody every reacts to it sadly.
I personally like "I Saw Red"
@@_Shadoh_ Especially the 'Stand by Your Van' live version. That whole album is fantastic my favorite version of "S.T.P" is on there as well as "Poolshark" and "KRS One".
You should watch the 5th Element with Debo as the president lol
Sublime is by far one of my favorite bands. They mix rock with reggae with Ska and a little hip-hop. I love the island. Beach type vibe. They definitely inspired a different style of music.
Please, please more Sublime!
I know most will suggest the song Badfish, but knowing your tastes, I really think you’ll enjoy - “Doin’ Time (Uptown Dub).
Thanks for the great content Rob and Amber!
Loved this! I'm going to nominate 2 songs for Female Fridays from the 90s - Garbage "I think I'm Paranoid" & Madonna "Frozen" because it's so different to what you've seen.
Female Friday coming up Highly recommend
Aldious Marygold live.
Guaranteed Jay will love this Metal Power Ballad featuring Violin.
You may like Bowling For Soup or Lit👍
Good song! On another note, how are you guys not reacting to some of the best of Issac Hayes? He has so much going on from his work with Stax Records (writing) in the 1960s right up to his death. I would like to suggest his live performance at the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame from 2002; “Shaft”. Spectacularly, Fantastic! It will take you breath away!
More sublime Please!
Badfish or DJ’s.
Every socal beach kid listened to Sublime!
LFG been waiting for u react to sublime
Thank you! I've been looking forward to you doing more Sublime 😊
Check out the song, April 26, 1992 by Sublime...its about the riots after the police brutally beat up Rodney King....and please do react to 311 the song Amber, I've been trying to get you to do it for the past 2 yrs.....lol🤘👽🤘
Since you guys are going 90's you gotta check out Blind Melon, I'd start with CHANGE and GALAXIE
Sublime made some very cool tunes. The ghost was their singer Brad Nowell. The dog was Brad's dog too. Sadly, drugs took him from us too soon.
They have some really great tunes about some serious things. April 26 1992, Date Rape, the Wrong Way.. there's a lot of great stuff by Sublime. They're kind of a bridge between punk rock and ska. I know they did a version of Toots and the Maytals' classic 54-48. They also did Rivers of Babylon. Great band. This song is great, but they were so much more than this.
I spent a lot of time HAF listening to these guys. I was in college when this was out. It was a blast!
If you like good storytelling music videos, you should watch "Sabotage" by the Beastie Boys and "Machine Gun Blues" by Social Distortion.
Love sublime so under rated. If you like this try another under rated song and band.. EVERLAST song "WHAT IT'S LIKE" its a great one
Concrete Jungle, from Bob Marley’s album Catch A Fire. But make sure you get the US version. Wayne Perkins’ guitar solo is one of the best of all time, as far as fitting the song and giving it EXACTLY what it needs!
Just before they broke big, the lead singer died of a heroin overdose, joining the long list of rock/pop singers to pass away tragically at 27.
Miss the original
Put the kids in another room and check out "SMOKE TWO JOINTS". It's a JAM!!!!
I think I mentioned this a little while back. Within the last 6 months I'm guessing. There is a great burgeoning and has been for some time. Rock hard Rock and metal scene out of Japan for well over a decade. And many of these groups are comprised in part or completely made up of women. Groups like Band Maid, and Nemophilia. Among a bunch of others. From Indonesia, three hijab wearing tiny young women. In the rock funk metal group VOB. Which stands for Voice of Baceprot. Maybe something a little different for your channel. One day a week doing a song or two. From these great bands from that part of the world. But like I said especially out of Japan for the last decade or so. Take care and be well always.
My favorite Sublime song!!!
Of COURSE it is, it's their best song.
40oz to Freedom is a good song of theirs. First heard it featured on the legendary rollerblading video Hoax 2 Anarchy Across America, which has a great soundtrack.
Sublime is a great band! They had a ton of hits, and I'm sure Amber recognizes that line because she must of heard it in passing. This song was everywhere once upon a time!
They have so many hits, so I am sure you'll get a ton of requests. Sublime blended punk rock with reggae and ska, so they had a very unique sound. One of my favorites, though, is "Wrong Way." I think that was their third biggest hit. If you liked this one, you might also like "Badfish" which has a similar vibe. "Doin' Time" was another huge hit, but I think the remixes featuring various other artists are better than the album version. My favorite version is the one featuring The Pharcyde. That said, their catalog is so deep, there are literally dozens of options.
Also, check out their cover of Grateful Dead’s, Scarlett Begonias
