I feel bad for the dude you can hear the pain in his voice when he remembers his buddy. Man what could have been. People don't realize the collateral damage they leave behind. I wish him well.
yeah dude seems shook when talking about a singer and singing.
Yeah man, I felt that too
What could have been? I mean yeah it was cut short sure but they did the damn thing in all honesty. Just because something doesn't last forever, doesn't make it less beautiful.
Brad just left behind a lot of potential. Not only was he great at songwriting but he probably would've blossomed into an amazing producer given the work he did especially on Robbin the Hood.
In all fairness, I think Eric is a millionaire, so it's not like Brad left nothing behind at all :)
The fact he wasnt really digging with the reggae style before Brad made him do it just shows how tight of a player he is
Eric is a legend and you can hear him rap on the “Robbin the Hood” record. Seriously though, his lines are legendary and he is the reason I play bass.
He has nothing to say. Hes not a DJ
He has really good tone from his fingertips
That's live at Es, and thats actually on 40 oz
@@BrownBear636it's also on Jah Won't Pay the Bills
@@brentcraft4340 this is amazing
That man has created most of my favorite basslines. Just smooth
Hands down one of my favorite bass players due to the fact that he can play dub bass lines like he wrote them himself...
Didn't he write them
Massively underrated bass player! I never appreciated Eric's playing until I had to learn his lines. Hearing his take on songwriting really helps it make sense :)
Been on a Tool kick lately and you're right, he is an absolute legend!
Eric Wilson is easily one of the best bassists of all time. He is extremely under appreciated, but the dude is very melodic and his timing is perfect. Also he has great tone and just has killer memorable lines.
I KNEW he was a great bass player first time I heard Sublime.....its obvious AF....I'm more into drums and guitar than bass but I can play a few songs on bass and they are hard they're not Oscar Pastorius hard but they're helluva lot more complex than the shit these kids listen to these days....Eric is the eric clapton of reggae bass hands down no argument
Not underated at all
The real god of thunder
This dude is one of the main reasons I play bass. Glad to see him doing more interviews
Hands down the most underrated bassist in the history of rock, 🐐 status
Although he is extremely underrated Felix papalardi is the most underrated
Not at all. He gets alot of praise
More in line with Felix Bruce and The Ox.
My brother Eric ODed on H when he was 29 in 2016. He was proud he introduced me to good music. My favorite band is sublime... At his peaked he worked as a gourmet chef at a high end restaurant in NYC. He was entrepreneurial. He was also my best friend. He helped me plenty. But he could have given me a lifetime of friendship and aid, had he not died. But he could have died sooner. We had him 11 years after his first heroin dose. Life is a blessing. I'm not just saying the last line as a positive. Reality, existence, consciousness, life and death are amazing
Too true man.
Sorry about your brother.
Eric’s been on a tough journey. Glad to see he is still playing strong.
Hearing him play Badfish made my day
My fav bassline of his and he has some real bangers but that one stands apart.
THATS WHAT I CAME HERE FOR 😆😆😆
I had the same feeling when he played "Ebin"
"and Eric Wilson will be banging up there, yeah"... #neverforget
dont forget bud will be singing up there too :)
Jailhouse one of my favorites 😌
That melody was inspired by an older song. Fun fact
What's the song? @@humanbeingfromearth
@@Irene-ji8gh jailhouse by Bob marley
This video is super important for bass players to watch because it shows how important your roots, thirds, and fifths are. He’s not doing anything crazy here, he’s just playing the notes of the chord and making sure that it grooves.
Eric is a kickass bass player, sublime wouldn’t be the same without his dope ass bass lines... respect
Badfish, D.J.s, and New Song from 40 oz. sound just... Sublime! Great solid bass lines for testing your stereo :)
“Just starting to get over it…”
Love you Eric, can’t imagine - respect to the God of Thunder.
Eric Wilson fabulous musician and can play any instrument Sublime Legend. RIP Bradley and Louie Dog.
The
Louie louie louie
[He was warming up right in front of my ears. And he could care less what I think. Much love, Big E. Thank you for the music.]
I love that they always shout out Mike Watt. I live in Philly now and I can't name one song from a local band from any decade. I wish everyone supported local music like they do in Long Beach.
Watt's a Pedro dude, that's for sure.
@@justinkline1294what’s a Pedro dude. That’s for certain
@@Naltddesha That's some D. Boon level wordplay from the machine right there. Spell check auto-correct from "Watt's" to "What's" totally changes from my intended meaning for the last 3 years. Thanks for bringing me back to manually repair.
This dude as been my bass hero for like 25 years now.
@Rusted.rubbermannMaybe cause he’s messing around on his porch for an interview and not prepped for a show?
I'm glad to see so many bass players in the comment section feeling the same way I feel as a bass player
This is one of the coolest things I've seen in a long while.... Rip Brad....
I would love to hear Eric go through all the songs he recorded with Brad and talk what he remembers from those times
I was turned onto sublime by my friend who said "you gotta hear this bass player!" massively underrated. super sick player.
Haters gonna hate his riffs will be on the radio 4ever ✌️
Gave me chills. West coast love. Carry you guys on forever. Legends
Favorite band ever, listened a lot in high school, while smoking lots of cannabis
Continuing the tradition
So laid back and humble but when he gets on the stage he becomes an absolute machine, a good note factory
Same in the End, Wrong Way, Santeria, What I Got, Santeria, April 29th 1992 are my favorite Sublime songs
@Der Kaiser I'm pretty sure it's because he sang the wrong date but they kept it in
All the mainstream ones that they played out on the radio? Cool, I guess. Listen to Robbin the hood album sometime. Fire.
Listen to the other albums
@@mcpuffenstuff6213 who cares
You and everyone else
This is dope! And he doesn’t even practice Santeria!
Clever, indeed, considering the lyrics and what Eric was doing. Almost too obvious, but somebody had to say it, lol! Could've been a conscious choice, as that's probably what most would've expected him to do.
Yes he does...
Looks like he hasn't practiced "Santeria" or any of his other basslines in a while, despite the summer chops and playing sitting down and kind of just dicking around, his basslines are legendary and his tone on the recordings are some of the best basslines ever laid down on tracks. I've seen him play much better live when he's nice and warmed up and better rehearsed.
@@mikelprescott628he wasn’t talking about practicing the baseline for Santeria he was referencing the first line of the song
R.I.P BRAD
NICE RIFFS
SUBLIME LEGENDS
I could cry watching this guy. They had the world in the palm of their hands . so many great bands implode from H... opiods period are a crazy crazy hook.
best advice, don't even sample them. Not even a Perkocet.. better not to tempt the sleeping dragon..
Well said thank you!
Eric Wilson the god of Thunder!!!!!! Such an Amazing bass player and kind human being. I met him while I was at work 2015 setting up VIP meet and greet for Sublime with Rome. I was such an excited fan boy!!!! I was not supposed to ask “the talent “ for photos or autographs, but this case was a major exception. He graciously agreed, I said to him punk rock also changed my life, and That I truly respect the music he has made. Thank you for being awesome 😎. The whole thing encounter was 30 seconds and I made it fast so none of my bosses saw me. Finished my work quickly and got out of there. That day I worked up until doors opened, took of my work shirt and went and enjoyed the show. My job was kinda pissed off I did that b/c it was busy night, however I gave them 2 months notice so they needed to get over it.
1:53 - Me showing my grandparents how my musical journey is coming along
The bass line in doin time has been my go to bass testing riff
Hell yeah, Eric is a bass idol to a lot of us. Itd be cool to see him do some bass playthroughs like Matt freeman and others are doing on RUclips right now.
Bass is so essential to ska and reggae
It's essential in all genres it's common in. It's just very noticeable in ska/raggae
Good video just wish the audio was better
This here is one of the meatiest and most solid bassists to have graced a (possibly ill-fated) set of speakers. The self-titled Sublime album sounded amazing!
so stoked on this one.
Watched in support. I don't think I've ever seen a blue guitar. Looks great. Great video. Liked 370. 💖💖💖💖💖💖
Definitely one of the nicest dudes. It was so fun to meet him and tour with him.
"I just can't keep track of picks very well." Damnit don't we know it haha
It makes me sad to hear how much he brings up Brad. But happy at the same time, but sad. I lost my best friend at 22 and I always find myself thinking, "I wonder if I'll ever stop thinking about him..." This reassures me that I never will.
Eric Wilson is still clearly banging up there.
The bass for slow ride though
so so good
I got to stand stage left for a Sublime show, his rig gets that whole stage shaking like no band I've ever seen.
You mean Sublime with Rome?
@@BrownBear636🤓☝🏼
Ughhh man it hurts r.i.p brad, i can only imagine how many more amazing songs they could of made
Hugely underrated bassist
He's the main reason I play drums
A nearly-old man now, I look back on what I loved most about Sublime -- and it wasn't all Bradley. The way he covered songs and made them his own: yes. But everything else...those baselines, man. Still stuck in my head after 25 years...Never gave E enough credit.
Same
I do love how Brad mentioned him in a couple songs though!
“And Eric Wilson will be banging up there, yeah..”
“We got cricket with the quickness and the funky bass line.. bass!”
Love this guy, the pawn shop is genius work
Imagine the music if brad was alive today!!
Living Legend! Legendary bass lines
Ouch, really hurt to hear him speak about Bradley near the end. Hope he is doing well.
Nirvana and Sublime my 2 fav bands of all time....even got a Sublime tat down .y arm
Legend. Period...
The Lincoln highway Dub has the most bad ass base line that ever existed.
Chris Plunkett you know that’s the Santeria baseline
@@coop6687 You know Lincoln highway was first and has different parts than Santeria though right? You tried pal.
@@rawbmar1166 awwww my feelings... put your headphones in and listen again bud sorry I forgot about one or two random fills. What did you do today? Dig ditches or drink sublime beer in your moms basement?
@@coop6687 Project much buddy! I chirped you sarcastically about it because you're a douche and I wasn't let down.
You are both right, lol. Santeria bones played a half step up.
Got to see shortbus on a last minute date addition in north Carolina. They had only a day to promote so maybe twenty people showed up. My buddies and i got to hang and smoke with eric ,ras , Damien and trey ..plus the doggies. One of the best days of my life.
Awesome !!!!
Date rapes baseline is just so damn good.they are all really good but that one just rolls real nice.Eric has always been a real inspiration to me.thanks for the great tunes and good vibes boys.
I just sent the message to a mother Effer boy. We were always thirsty sublime Was The Water. Eric Wilson deserves 60% credit for sublime!
Everyone loved the basslines in the car on the subwoofers, and that all came from Erick! Brad was genius,
But so was Erick Wilson!
This is gold 😊👍👍
Beyond legendary
My biggest Influence right here ^ Ive got one bassline on my channel so far. Eric W is such a GOD I cant touch much of him
LEGEND!
Eric Wilson is a solidified bass legend. Enough said.
Legendary
Sublime
He don't practice santeria.
Correction He should have: practiced santeria
But he doesn't have a crystal ball
Iconic
Lotta love to you bro
You are my bass hero
love u dude
Love the little fills and play ons Sublime always did at the end of their songs. . Speaking of which . What is the name of the song at the end of this interview starting at 8:06??
Love when artists go past their supposed image and dig into their soul
Legend is right !!
He seems like the coolest dude.
Ebin is a great one to learn
What's the second song he played?
april 26 1992 is the bass line everyone first learns on guitar
He lived 3 houses down from a buddy of mine about 15 years ago.
Ayyyyyyy Mike Watt namedrop even more respect for this guy now. Also watt doesn't usually use a pick. He did exclusively in The Fog though
Flava Flav and I.C.E, once said something that made me, want to burn my liquor store down to the ground.
STP is probably up there for top 2 or 3 baselines of his. Legendary is all I can say!
@@rawbmar1166 Yeah, man, S.T.P. is a MURDERING bass line. I ultra-love Slow Ride and All You Need, too. And about 80 others, haha!
13 & Fat, by the world famous Juice Bros!!!
the happiest band with the saddest end. Makes me wonder about the otherside, if its there.
Ebin has some awsome bass lines
Why does this only have 19k views
TUFFFFFF
4:46 Badfish
🤘😆Ma Brutha !!!👏🏼😃
Whenever people ask me what I would do with a million dollars I always have a simple response:
I’d buy an A-Frame cabin in the mountains somewhere with a wood stove, a bunch of bud and white claws, a dog, coffee and cigarettes and I would just have a giant bass cab and a couple choice nug bass guitars and I would play Eric Wilson bass lines for my dog all day 🤷🏽♂️
Dude he can do the gallops like from iron maiden
At 1:35 he references Steve Harris talking about the four finger gallop but then plays fade to black lol Eric's an absolute legend tho
We used to jam together at Culture Beat n LBeach U still n touch with Ruthie and Marshall?..👍🏼🔥💫⭐🌟
The clash song sounds a lot like the bass line in take warning operation ivy
I saw sublime with Rome live last year in Jacksonville, Oregon. It was nothing less of amazing and life changing. Sublime was such a huge inspiration on me in so many ways and seeing them in person was absolutely amazing!
You didn't see Sublime.
I didn’t say I did. I said sublime with Rome. Nice try though.
@@gradyhamilton2026 So you saw Eric and Bud or just Eric?
Eric's studio bass tone is second to none.
The Sublime album from 1996 is an absolutely killer recording. Great sounding drums & bass.
@@devilsoffspring5519 there are 3 tones of ska punk that I categorize as legendary. Sublime, Operation Ivy, and early NOFX.
@@broadwaynicky Ever heard any Buck-O-Nine? They had a good sound on their album 28 Teeth... Solid bassist that reminds me of Eric a bit.
@@devilsoffspring5519 I’ll have to check out. Other bass in punk that I enjoy is Suicidal Tendencies. Their bass from all their eras is top notch.
@@broadwaynicky It's an art form that isn't normally known for chops, but punk music has had some stellar bass players.
Scott Shiflett of Face to Face is an excellent musician no matter how you slice it. The live show Shoot The Moon has fantastic playing in it. Unfortunately the bass guitar is too low in the mix for my taste, but Scott's playing is phenomenal.
Yo niiice! dope as fuk man...
One Love✌
You see how good he is when u watch the stp video
We used to get drunk n stoned and listen to sublime and play driver and GTA. Pre game
i’ve been trying to get the baselines :(
