  • They didn't bring him in because he sounds like bradley. They brought him in because he is a good artist that gives new life to the band sublime.

  • im sure bud and eric think rome sounds like bradley and thats why theyre in the situation theyre in now with rome. if they played with both and they think they sound alike, that should be all that matters. just because they sound similiar doesnt mean everything bradley did was worthless. give rome some credit hes filling in for a fallen legend because eric and bud want him to, which im sure comes with a lot of pressure. quit knocking the guy because he isnt bradley nowell.

  • this is some sick shit. Not compare to brad but cant wait to see you guys in Eugene, Oregon dank weed waitin for yea haha

  • i think Rome is good. as the name implies, they are no longer sublime. It's sublime w/ rome. a whole new entity entirely, and should be treated as such. bradley was undoubtedly the man and one and only front man for sublime, but this guy does a damn good job and i have to give him props for his talent and sound.

  • you know if brad had one thing to say to bud and eric before he died, would be sorry, and party on, he wouldnt want this feelin to leave the earth

  • Eric Wilson looks bored, it goes way too slow for his lightning fast fingers

  • I think it's safe to say that this video right here is legendary.

  • Amazing, I have been listening to Rome all night, let me tell you, the man can sing! I agree with everyone that says he sounds like Bradley. A LOT like Bradley. Scary. I agree to that he has a new element to bring to the Sublime table! Look for good things from this trio.

  • sublime will always be in my heart Rome sounds alot like Bradley

  • @51stnighthawks not really but hes okay

  • chills

  • its sad we were deprived of bud and eric for so long. welcome back!

  • I think Rome adds something to the table that bradely didnt....Brad is the man and will never be replaced!

    anyone know if they are coming out with a new record?

  • bud gaugh is a sick ass drummer!

    ps just to let you guys know, they only call themselves sublime with rome for legal reasons,

  • I love that Rome is with them now!!! It is about time Sublime comes around again! I LOVE IT!!

  • i think they will make it...... this guy makes sublime's songs sound really good.

  • this guys are Awsome! i mean i tought that it was goanna be gay without brad but they sound just as good! if not better! I hope this band can renuite good musicians agin and take all that garbage thats on the radio these day's! god! im glad im only 15 then i can brag to my kids that i went to go see sublime with "rome"

    4/20!

  • At first when I heard sublime was reuniting I thought "WTF!!! How can you continue WITHOUT the star of the band?!" But now I get it. I love this, especially for the original guys doing the right thing and calling it Sublime With Rome, this is amazing, Bradleys music gets to live on and unite the people again. What a beautiful world

  • This makes me miss Bradley =/. Long Live Sublime though, its what he would of wanted no doubt.

  • Comment removed

  • this is awesome. Sublime did the right thing and are now officially called "Sublime with Rome".

    You know bradley is loving this shit right now. Couldn't be happier with the outcome of this band after his death. RIP Brad!

  • @S00P3R  Brad is loving this.I know I am.keep it up.

  • Sounds good.

  • :' ) sublime has been roborn hellz yes!! brings tears to my eyes

    RIP Bradley

  • I think Bradley would more than Likely Approve of this...at the End of the Day ITS ABOUT THE MUSIC & they are doing it Justice so far, Thanks Sublime!!!

  • no ones as good as brad but hes okay

  • I have read 17,234 comments on the new Sublime, and every one of them is positive. HECK YES!!!!

  • well its not brad, its not old sublime. but it is good still. ill be happy to hear more sublime i think.

  • this actually works...

    Going into this video I was like, this is going to suck...

    The guy pulls it off though

  • Damn. He isn't bad. Fuck yeah! sublime is back!

  • im slowly coming round to the idea of this .......... rome is very good in this clip though

  • yeah!!

    SUBLIME IS BACK!

  • Cannot WAIT to see these guys at Smokeout! Sublime is back and I am fucking stoked!

    To the haters, look at this as a tribute to Brad's work! You think he wouldn't want his music to live on???

  • Bud, Eric and Rome have a Facebook group named "We Want Sublime!". Please join and support them. We'll be posting updates this week, and they will be exclusive to this group

  • This is soo cool.. gotta let these guys rock!

  • YESSSSS

  • wow this guy is awesome

  • Bud is KILLIN IT! This is his genre fo sho! Great to see that rhythm section rockin it!

  • yo i just said the same thing to my homeboy, bud is KILLING IT! Eric looks a little down but sounds sick anyway - great post right here!!!

  • i'm afraid to inform you.

    it looks like bud has some serious, serious drummer power pent up inside him.

    phew, plus all the del mar stuff, he's as good if not better than ever.

    longlivesublime

  • Man this guy is one 20 years old! And with balls of steel to show you millions of "he's not the same as brad" people what it's all about. His voice fits the music very well and I hope that if he continues with the band that he will develop his own vocal style. I think it's more of a tribute and respect thing to do the songs with a similar vocal style as brad's but over time (if they continue together) maybe we can hear some new sounds from sublime!

  • I agree completely

  • Normally I'm against this sort of thing; Queen isnt Queen without Freddie, the Doors aren't the doors with out Jim..

    but.. this video is amazing. THE WORLD NEEDS SUBLIME BACK. Seriously.

    I hope they continue this reunion, not only with tours b ut also new albums.

  • Sublime:: SOON TO RULE THE WORLD

  • buying my tickets for the smokeout today, cant wait to see eric and bud on the stage

  • i'm in SHOCK!!!

  • East Coast Tour?!

  • hell yea man i hope so

  • You cant tell but i have the biggest smile on right now! I never thought anything like this would ever happen and now it is. Its a trip not seeing Brad up there but if it is making them happy then thats all that really matters right? Thats what Sublime is all about if you ask me, just good times, and that must be what they are having up there. Cant wait to see them at Smoke Out. FUCK YEAH!

  • good new singer. never can compare to brad. but still good. i want to see them write songs especially without bradley to see how it sounds

  • OMG , people "brad can never be topped" shit we get it, We know. If you don't like then go listen to some emo shit. This guy has the balls to stand up and try. Hope to see a tour soon.

  • This Rome guy does a great job, I wouldn't be able to pick this from a live Bradley performance. Not sure about their writing new songs under the Sublime name, but completely loving this reincarnation fuck I hope they come to New Zealand.

  • Sounds alright. If they come to town I'll go check 'em out. Rome will never top Bradley but with that said, not many singers ever have.

  • yeah god bless em for their efforts and if they tour best believe ill be there to see the classics live i mean its no worse than the coverband badfish which id go see if i had a chance but let bradley's music live on forever and reach more and more folks no matter who plays it

  • Not bad. You will never replace Bradley, but you know what? Those guys busted their ass for YEARS playing backyard parties and shitty bars. As soon as they start to make it their lead singer dies of a heroin overdose and its all over. You know what? God bless 'em for giving it another try with a new singer. I can't blame them, and hope the new reincarnation of Sublime writes some new songs and gets some real success.

  • I agree. As a fellow musician, I know after working so hard on a wonderful set of songs, I would like to be able to continue to play them without people thinking I'm trying to dishonor the past. I think Brad would be disappointed if the show did NOT carry on.

  • @gaddylh well said

  • I really want to see what comes out of this.

  • props to the new singer, them's big shoes to fill.

  • if getting a new lead singer would mean sublime would go on tour im all for it but nobody can top bradley... i would have killed to see sublime in concert but seeing how he died when i was 4. but if sublime goes on tour and dosnt come to nc, i say fuck it ill walk my ass to long beach to see them live

  • Well he sounds great for the most part but I didn't like how he did the punk part. He doesn't even do any of the punk shit in any of the other videos I've heard. And I love Sublime's punk sounds :/ I'm glad Bud and Eric are back on it though. Must be makin them really happy. I can't wait to catch a concert

  • glad to see the guy's playing again but it's still weird without bradley but whatever makes the band happy :)

    R.I.P. Bradley and Lou Dog

  • bud is an insane time drummer!!!! :D

  • new guys pretty good. not bad at all

  • would be great if someone in the crowd, during the "give it to me... one time" would start making porn noises while its all quiet.

  • i said suck tha muthafucka, you bitin it, sheeyit

  • Lord have his grilled cheese...

  • he actually sounds really fucking good

  • Im happy if Bud And Eric are happy with it.

  • brad would love to see this. the man loved his music and his bandmates and would want it to live on in anyway possible

  • i agree, theres no reason why people shouldnt support this guy. the shoes he has to fill are fucking gigantic.

  • THIS IS FOR BRADLEY AND ITS GOOD WOOOOJOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU :D i support the new sublime i bet the band wanted to feel how it was to make music and make people get a smiley and good time cheer up people :D and lets be together with the new sublime to remember brad

  • this kills me a little inside... this guy is good but i mean you cant call them sublime it will never be sublime without bradley in my opinion the guy is great but i i cant call them sublime

    RIP Bradley Nowell and the best of luck to Bud and Eric on this new project... brads probably happy that they are keeping the music alive

  • well said

  • bud and eric look so different!!

  • Not bad, considering all that shitty badfish cover band. This guy is ok.

  • can't ever replace brad, but this guy's definitely alright.

    TOUR!

  • I was pretty pissed when i heard this but now that i know why they're doing this i can understand. i was raised on sublime and no one will EVER be able to replace Brad and as long as this guy doesn't try to i guess i'm okay with it. he did a pretty okay job on this song.....so let the music flow and let the legacy live on and spread to others, i think Brad would be proud to see people still enjoying his music and happy that his son will get some financial support

  • who cares, we all know brads dead(rip), but he lives through bud, eric, the music, and family, friends, and last but not least, fans like you and me. bud and eric want to play, should they not because brads not around, course not!

  • First let me say I am a die hard sub fan have been for years, first time seeing them was at a small now defunct club here in nyc called wetlands.

    When I heard this news I was shocked and a bit upset, I dont know why I have seen tons of bands who where forced to move on for whatever reason, but this was different. Brad is and was one in a million.

    Now that I watched this video I am extremely excited and I know in my heart bradly would be very proud. Now get touring so we can enjoy this =)

  • it kills a part of me. but i think i'm okay with this guy

  • Somewhere up above, Bradley's smiling down on Eric and Bud for keeping the legacy up. This guy Rome has a more mellow voice, but it's his personal style, like he knows he's the replacement and he's totally cool with it, you know?

  • this guys got soul but not nearly as much as brad

  • I am glad sublimes back together and this guy is pretty good, but he will never replace brad

  • hes amazingly good

  • two words

    fuck yeah

  • Rome is awesome. Different person with a different style. I love it and want more of it! Can't wait until the start touring and creating new music that we all can just chill and relax too.

  • brad would be happy to see his 2 best buds and band mates back doing what makes them happy.

  • i dunno about this.... but i guess if bud and eric accept it...fuck guess i got to as well..

  • If they tour i will be front and center cheering them on.I just wish i could've had the chance to see Bradley perform live.

  • romes got big...really big shoes to fill

    and i think hes gunna do a purty dope job

    sublime forever

  • Not Fuckin bad at all!!!!!  Looks like a good show

  • totally sick.

  • GREEEAAAAAT:D

  • brings tears to me......brad u are so missed. Close my eyes and it sounds like ur back.....Rome is keeping u alive. R.I.P

  • Rome is Great!

    Rest In Peace Bradley

    BRASIL!

  • come to Kansas =D

  • i bet 20 that they will open for No Doubt on their tour

  • this is sick

    dunno what seed would sound like lol

    n as long as he understands nuffins gonna b as good as the original

    u rekon he smokes green?

  • yea he smokes, i read his blog the other day and he said he was stoned while he was writing! hahaha

  • yeah he smokes alotttt of bud ahaha.

  • not too shabby

  • like lab3920 said, definitely not dissappointed.

    they should tour

  • wow i had no idea they were reuniting! sounds pretty good, never the same but nothing ever will be again... goood to hear buds solid killer groove.

  • wow, i was a little prejudged about the new singer. But hearing him, just wow. I think if someone listened this song, and didn't know it was rome, he would just say it was Bradley. Come to EUROPE!

  • this is fucking beautiful to see lol

  • Rome is great. I'm definitely not disappointed.

  • yeah, I'm glad to see something happening, some people ain't havin' it but damn I've had plenty of time to get over shit, just wanna see those dudes jammin, gettin some beer money, its just that the crowd should be pure energy, no hate, thats what i will look forward to being a part of

  • Man this is sick! I'm sad to see brad not up there r.i.p. but seein bud and eric up there playin this live is amazing im so pumped man

  • i'm likin rome, he had trouble hittin some of the high notes that brad ripped but still very good singer

  • Once they start touring again, im totally going to see them.

  • they sound awesome this rome dude is decent but keep in mind...brads son jakob is about 14 years old now

  • not to be messed up but.. your point is? whats jakob gonna do?

  • could be referring to "54-46" was my number by Toots & The Maytals

  • I would pay 40 or 50 bucks to see these guys...I would pay 100 million dollars to see Bradley....

  • It's good to see Eric and Bud puttin shit aside and jammin again. They sound GREAT!! Rome is doin a great job covering Bradley. I will be there when you come back to LB!!

  • why is it that only positive comments can get posted.

  • cause I'm a silly fan,and no ones going to sour my sweet !

  • At like the 1:10 Rome says "54-47" what's that all about?? otherwise not bad

  • brad says it in the normal song too listen, not sure if its at that exact moment but its there

  • If you actually knew your Sublime and listened to the stand by your van cd you would know that's what brad said it's a live cd.

  • damn this is weird, he sounds alot like him though. , where did they find this dude,

    hey hes not bad at all. i wonder about new stuff though you know.

    but damn it sounds nice though.

  • Loved Sublime then, Love them now

  • Rome is unreal. Everyone talks shit about the reunion and how it wont be the same without Brad. Fuck yeah, it wont be the same. But let's be real Bud and Eric want to keep th music going. They might be doing this just to keep the Sublime legacy. I know that Brad is watching Rome right now, and thinking "Man this guy could rip it". You guys need to stop dwelling on the past. Rome is not trying to replace Brad, noone will. Rome's just working with 2 crazy musicians and covering awesomemusi

  • well said

  • Its so great to see eric and bud back together playing the classics...i know brad isn't there, but bud and eric's chemistry hasn't changed at all...the new guy isn't bad either...

  • i still dont know how i feel about this... i mean its definitely impossible to replace brad and it made me kinda mad at first ... but this rome guy is damn good and i actually like seeing bud and eric playing the old songs again. and brad did pass like 13 years ago... i would rather see these songs played by bud and eric than some weak coverband... so rock on i guess! haha

  • hes actually good? damn. love it!

  • Rome,Eric, and Bud are the shit! Haters back off,the vibe is there-good music!! Brad would be proud! There's a lot of good music waiting to be made--big ups and much respect.

  • does anyone know if they are touring? And if they are Where?

  • he aint trying to be bradley he never said he was bradley we dont want him to be bradley he aint posing to be bradley...he is just cruising and playing tunes...ever heard of ac/dc douche bags they lost their front man and kept on jamming ... the show in sparks was killer... I was one of the fortunate few that was there they played a new song that was so bad ass...meanwhile many many other long beach locals represented as well. naysayers can bite me... you aint seen em you dont know son!

  • fo real man

  • all i want is for them to be happy! "Let Sublime Live On"

  • OKAY I just screamed and ran around the house. AHHHHH Sublime!! AHHH I love Sublime! AHHH this is so awesome!

  • awesome!!!!!!!!!!

  • He even plays an Ibanez.

  • As it was said, he's nothing like Brad, but he's good, and Sublime is back in business. I'm pretty sure that's what Brad would have wanted, yeah?

    Love.

  • Pretty good. You can tell Bud and Eric are still getting used to looking up and not seeing Bradley there. But this guy has got some pipes, and hopefully they can keep it going.

  • Do these guys have like a tour date set up or something?  someone please respond to my desperate question!!!! Way better than no Sublime at all!!!!!!!!

  • This new guy sounds pretty good!

    aren't reunions just the best?

  • No one will come close to how good Brad was. This guy is alright and has the right kind of 'sublime vibe'. But he needs to sing with more of the emotional range that goes along with each of Sublime's tempo changes. This is by far his best of that night doing the sublime material.

  • dame this guy is good!!!!!!!!!

    come through Houston Texas....please!!!!

  • Its not as good as Brad but it will do.

  • i have VERY mixed feelings about this

  • Same here. No joke. =\

  • yea me too. but gotta give this guy props for steppin up and respecting the music. nobody can compare to bradley though!

  • i like him we just gotta get ust 2 the new guy i mean its ashame brad isnt here but at least we got his music still

    its better than no sublime at all ant i right??

  • word to that man

  • dude hes really good but it makes me happy and same at same time

    i miss brad and lou dog :[[

  • I think this new guy is excellent.

  • This is heresy! But it's the good kind of heresy.

  • well put

  • It's good to see Eric and Bud together.  I must say that Rome has a good vibe! Hooray for S*blime!

  • since sublime died, there have been a slew of so-cal punk-reggae or streetsteady bands with bradley-sound-alikes so it only makes sense for them to pick this guy up and cash in on the genre's success as well as enjoy the creative outlet. I really enjoyed Long Beach Dub Allstars so if they slap the name Sublime on it so be it.

  • makes me miss bradley

    RIP

  • does anybody know where they post their show calendar or something??

  • Big ups to Rome! If Eric and Bud are down, then I fuckin down!!!

  • AWSOME!

  • amazing!!! bud is an amazing drummer. holy shit

  • ive been reading comments regarding the new singer Rome.. i guess we all accept him.. hes got some huuge shoes to fill.. but i can tell right away he is not trying to imitate bradley.. hes got a much more mellow voice.. bradley a little more punk rock in it..

    we all miss him

  • damn i am only 18 and i didnt get into sublime till about 3yrs ago so i missed out on any chance to see them with brad nowell. i didnt think it could be done without him but i would def go see them with rome though, they still got that sublime vibe fuck yea

  • best news in weeks! my favorite band is finally back. I have complete confidence in Rome.

  • do warped tour ha ha, this is so awesome!

  • Rome is legit! Sublime is my favorite band, and i was so skeptical about this...not anymore. They fuckin BACK!! Somewhere in the waves above...Bradley Nowell is smiling

  • Rome is legit. This is fuckin awesome, my favorite band ever. BACK!!!! Somewhere in the waves above, Bradley Nowell is smiling

  • Yes!! go to Brazil, São Paulo!

  • RIP Bradley

    This has been a long time coming....solidify the tour plans ASAP and get your asses out on the road spreading the love that Bradley would want ya'll to spread !!!

  • FUCKING SICK!!!!!!!! This is bittersweet, considering how much of a genius Brad was. Maybe a resurgence of a great ska scene? It's kinda beat now.

  • first i was like

    "Sublime reunion would suck"

    but this guy is pretty legit.

  • Wasn't sure how I would like or feel about this but it totally rocks! Great to see Bud and Eric playing again and Rome seems to fit right on in. I think Bradly would approve! woohoo SUBLIME!!!!

  • YESSSSSS!!!!!! Come to Canada!!!!!

  • These videos are great, keep posting! I was worried about this not working, but I'm really impressed with how great this is.

  • new album!!!!!!!!!!please!!!

  • rome is awesome!! cant wait to see them..

  • hahahaaaa rome is fucking raw! i want a new album!!!

  • deff. think they should make some more songs

    GET A NEW LOU!!!!!!!!!!

  • buds the man

    it'd be cool to see him use those trigger pads that he used to jam.

  • Brad will absolutely never be forgotten, but I see a MASSIVE return to music on the way for these guys. Just remember something- there is one band that has the right to play these songs more than the dozens of bands paying tribute to Sublime... and your'e watching them. Full support, bro!
