[Brandibby2011]

Rome rocks. =]

[damien1922]

it looks like 22 people missed the like button cuz this guy has an awesome voice and this song shows his voice very well i dont see how people could hate on Rome if you understood he is not trying to fill in brads shoes he is bringing a new sound and i like it alot

[clarkishere]

Rome is definately doin the damn thing man, I'm hooked, eric and bud know what they are doin.

[oatesy92]

why is rome so awesome

[BroncosGirl8]

[nottydotty7]

His voice is sexy...

[TeAmLeGaCy09]

man, i think im in love (:

[ashlea84]

Yea Rome is rockin the shit, I am so in love with this kids voice.

[randomchik90]

i love the fact that its not still "sublime" its "sublime with rome" brad wouldve been proud.

[marc123089]

i'm so stoked on rome playing with bud and eric.... they've been dormant all these years and now are finally comfortable playing their songs with him in public and like him enough to have him join their music work.. the music has the same vibe as old sublime but bradley is definately remembered in every song

[SarahIsShameless]

i think i have a crush on you know. nope. i do.

[therat36]

after 12 years of never thinking i will see sublime i get to see them today !!!

[spiccegirl]

your quite amazing in concert :)

[ilovegerardway6591]

Rome i think I'm in love with you =D

[JeffT1103]

seeing sublime on friday.. dirty heads are opening.... hopefully, somewhere he will play this one

[sublimetillidie2003]

ROME YOUR ARE THE SHIT!!!!!

[eighth]

damn that was good

[Janedoelove1]

Coming from the guy who cant spell annoying Lmao I bet all those people who put Rome down are 10x uglier, have nothing going for them & couldn't sing if their life depended on it. Just saying :) Rome is great <3

[mandybunchohyeah69]

he is absolutely amazing! No, nothing could replace Bradly, but he brought Sublime back to life! Future generations will get to hear such great music :)

[whipchops]

this kid has the most annoing face

[msempyreal25]

i love you rome!!! i named my son after bradley nowell cuz i love his voice so much, but there's something about rome that makes my heart flutter like in this song! brads legend will always live on, bud and eric have just as much right to tour under their own bands name without people getting all crazy with ish talking and downing them, ive seen them twice this year and words fail me, im so in love with them all and rome has my <3 love you guys!!!

[Janedoelove1]

Rome Rome Rome... Aww he makes me melt. I wish I could meet him one day.

[seabolt007]

Everyone needs to get over this whole rome bradly thing no one is replacing or trying to replace brad. If rome was trying too then he would preform all the songs exactly like brad but he puts his own spin on all the songs. Anyone that cant understand this is what bradly would want dosent know the true spirit of sublime. And anyone who resents this amazing musican can go sit in a corner the rest of us will enjoy new songs and good vibes

[Drdreem12]

emg is owned by universal ..

he was found by a scouting agent.. he's complete bullshit..the whole thing about eric and bud finding him is a lie.. brads' been gone for 15 years...

they sold their soul & bradleys to a record company...

brads family didnt want this..

you assholes eat it up..

jason maraz covers.. new era fitteds???.. this is about as raw as bradleys corpse which he feeds off.

imagine if this guy replaced kurt cobain?

the rebel has died

[areddubbleu]

@Drdreem12 dude chill abit, i wish i could pass you this j

[romeluver]

"kissing you good morning and whispering good bye" love Roooommmee sooo much

I want to have you kiss me good morning! =)

[LilShawnPerryBoy]

@Drdeem Bradley sold his soul to the needle... So does that mean Bud and Eric dont get to continue what they helped create? I don't care how they found him or what the kid wears, hes good.

[Drdreem12]

@LilShawnPerryBoy read my comment to "popelprez"...

the needle was involved with bradley and his musical genius mann!!! wtf "he sold his soul" now your saying bradley ruined sublime... SUBLIME IS BRADLEY understand that... by the way look at how the girl fanbase is eating this up "he's so cute" "I would kiss him in the morning" it shows you where this is going

this is a reflection of hollywood, it's like a remake of "where the wild things are" or "toy story"

WAKE UP MEDIA BOTS, REALITY IS REAL

[LilShawnPerryBoy]

@Drdeem Bradley sold his soul to the needle... so does that mean Bud and Eric dont get to carry on what they helped create? I don't care how they found the kid or what he friggin wears, he's good.

[popel4prez]

As a sublime fan for over 15 years, everyone needs to respect the fact that eric and bud are the two founding members of sublime. Bradley was a huge loss, obviously, the guy was one of the most talented musicians of our generation. However, that doesn't mean that Bud and Eric don't get to carry on his legacy with someone as truely kick-ass as Rome Ramirez . Love it or hate it, at least give the guy a chance.

[Drdreem12]

@popel4prez heres your problem.. its been 15 years! they have tried other bands with new singers.. it didn't work.. they needed money... uhhh duhh we can cash in on bradley's creative genius "sublime". his family didn't want it.

bud & eric were not equal members of sumblime... bradley sang, wrote, played guitar, & introduced reggae to the group.(which is why their other shit wasn't successful).. . imagine if they replaced kurt cobain with this guy, & then they claimed grohl & drummer as equals

[MrSpyKload]

Thimbs up if you like Rome as much as you Hate the new youtube player bar

[tehmelanie]

uhm,,rome will u have my babies? cuz i kinda love u :)

[LunaBby9]

i officially fell in love with him today.

im smitten<3333

[Saviilicious]

<33 ROMEEE.

Love himm soo muchh.

[akovac79]

TRUE STORY!!!

[Drdreem12]

emg is owned by universal ..

he was found by a scouting agent.. he's complete bullshit..the whole thing about eric and bud finding him is a lie.. brads' been gone for 15 years...

[USunion17]

@Drdreem12 your so depressing dude

[Drdreem12]

@USunion17 reality is a harsh number i call daily... lol jk... but come on everyone knows media exploits shit... & it's no different w/sublime...

[pedro13a]

Awsomeee =)

Rome ftw

[TvCheerleader23]

love him:)

[The311dnb]

So many props Rome- you are so talented

[19jwebb]

take it or leave it but this song fucking rocks

[dangrabat]

Why isn't there a love button on youtube?

[TheJoshdude4]

cool 

[mayormccheez]

This dude is mad talented.

[luckyliar]

This kids good, he has what it takes to make Sublime come back.

[tokeylokes]

I think you should make a trip to Fresno, ca with sublime.. you wouldnt believe how big of a come out that would cause. We need it.

[Marlyne28]

:D Simply amazing!!!

[broncos730730]

eatchego23 I was there too, and the show was amazing! Now no one is gonna be brad, ever, but the kid has mad talent and everyone knows it. Even their new song panic would be good compared to the old sublime. Cherish the past and embrace the future because Rome is where it's at. GREAT song btw!!!

[eatchego23]

i just saw him in kc and it was the shit i have been of sublime since the 90s and i think they did good with this kid hes no bradly but hes the best were gonna get so all u haters out there can gth

[AtypicalMusic]

If this is an original song by Rome then I cant wait to hear what Sublime with Rome comes out with.

[amberlee17]

he's amazing. so cute and likeable...

love listening to him.

[RubberRbandMaN]

is this romes song? or is it a cover?!?!?

[chuckielong1]

@RubberRbandMaN it his i guess because if u check all his other cover vid it say the person who sing the song originaly and the song name then it say by rome and this vid just say rome take it or leave it so am guessing it his own

[RubberRbandMaN]

@chuckielong1 thanks man, its a good one, i wanted to hear the original, but i guess i already have!

[lxhionlifexl]

IF (and that's a BIG IF) any1 could ever possibly live up to the legend Bradley had set ƒourth - It would be Rome. His voice is ƒucking insane and a perƒect ƒit ƒor Sublime. GO ROME!! :-)

[texican2323]

As a Sublime fan of over 15 years I can't help but smile when I hear this kid sing . SUBLIME LIVES !!!! He's not here to replace Bradly people so calm down . I never got the chance to see Sublime preform livw and now I have a chance thanks to Rome .

[SmileyfaceMan80]

@texican2323 hell yeah dude i was thinking the same thing!

[lxpr3ciiousxl]

does anyone know where i can download this song? pleeease?!

[eroincubus]

Brad is in heaven smiling at Rome. Although he may not be Brad, he makes the Sublime spirit live on...so good thing we got Rome...and good thing we had Brad...he brought so much love.

[GrandRiffAuto]

@eroincubus for real!! Rome's no brad, and he's not trying to replace him. But I see him getting with the other sublime dude to bring the band back as a tribute to Brad and his time in the band.

Brad or no Brad, sublime's always gunna be one of the best bands ever.

[JOHNLENNONWINZ]

@eroincubus No, he is 6 feet underground.

[kylereid11]

rome is the shit. cant wait to see sublime with rome in toronto this aug

[SUPYNOOBSAUCE]

this guy is fucking legit

[yoooooooox3]

is this the guy who sings the song "billionaire"??

[Baadfish2]

Yes, noboby will ever replace Bradley but I'd love to be able here Bradleys songs sung live by this talented motherfcker!!! I'll be in Boca, Fl. July 25 with a fat ass joint listening to them bring Bradley back. Bradley would be honored and proud to hear his songs are still being played live for his fans...He would have wanted it that way.

[Crazyrockerfreak96]

@Baadfish2 ME TOOOOOO

except the joint ;p

[Baadfish2]

LOVE THIS!!!!! Fuck all the BS that he sounds like Bradley or he doesn't compare to Bradley, Rome has some serious talent and he's got a fan here forever no matter who he's singing with. Hopefully he writes a new sublime album though cuz I'm so craving more shit like PANIC!!!!!

[chipsgood]

I hate youtube.

[JesusJoe911]

why doesnt sublime w rome just make a new album instead of covering bradleys songs? rome is good enough to take over writing songs for a band like sublime, but bradley was still way better

[AmanOU2be]

@JesusJoe911

Agreed

[Sheena293117]

This guy rocks! I love this song!!! Love Sublime & Rome! Im glad they are makin music again! I do agree there is no replacement for Bradley, but rome is pretty damn good.

[msempyreal25]

STOP HATING ON ROME, JUST BECAUSE HES A FUCKEN PRODIGY @ ONLY THE VERY YOUNG AGE OF 20!!! I LOVE SUBLIME, I EVEN NAMED MY SON BRADLEY NOAH AFTER NOWELL BUT LET HIM R.I.P. AND LET THE LOVE LIVE ON...=)

[TheJbirchard]

I love Rome,and I am a HUGE HUGE sublime fan.

[valiantred]

KROQ needs to play this!!!

[danarff]

Does anybody know where to buy some of rome's music?

[exioc]

@danarff  iTunes Store.

[nasimall]

brad is better sublime is dead

[chokeonitman]

Yeah, I'm pretty hopeful of the new sublime after hearing this guy. Rome's doin a good job, lots of haters lately comparing him to Brad.. You can't compare anyone to Brad, he was the original ,and he was Brad. Not to mention he wouldn't all this drama surrounding this, Romes good and I'm happy to see good things in the making like this.

[battleshipt]

if brad and rome could've had a concert together, it would be fuckin awesome :D

[zerbinivideomaker]

that's very nice bro.

[cupcakeejess]

i lovee how he is keeping sublime going his voice is really goood

[chongaaROFL]

rome is adorable and maaaad talented <3 you go glen coco :D

[GodFearingIndividual]

Amazing[;

[peaceit1215]

i absolutly love this song i listen to everyday no lie

and i have it as my myspace song hahh

[Enlisted8]

brad would say this guy is good

[40ozjd]

fuckin right. cant wait for the cd, and hope to death you guys will keep on goin forever this time around.

[animallover96734]

wow this song totally helps me threw some of my hard times! :'(

[futrebartender5]

i havent really read any bad comments, but if there are haters...just remember that many of sublime's songs are really covers so keep that in mind ha

[starstrucck]

I feel bad for him, as fucking great and talented as he is, he must get so much pressure/shit from people for "trying to replace brad" :(

[keeeepinitrealll]

@starstrucck couldn't have said it better. The poor guy is taking shit from haters. any real sublime fan would be proud and more than happy that bud and eric are playing once again. The fact that they are comfortable to do that with Rome says a lot about him. He rocks.

[TJDevor]

I just started listening to Rome. And, I love his sound. I can't wait to see what this guy can do. Regardless what people are saying, I love to see Sublime back on the charts! Welcome back guys, you picked a great front man!

[PunkPenguin08]

Why are people still talking about this jesus its already said and done I don't get it if you don't like don't listen to it It isn't sublime but it's still good so why not

[kmtilt]

ok to all the people who hate on him fuck off. Brad was the shit, but Rome is doing the band a favor by singin with them. And they are doing the same for Rome. They are good together. He is not tryin to take brads place. Hes wanting to make music. If your a true music fan you should listen to him as an artist. Instead of being crazy and saying he is tryin to take Brads place.

[FuzZion510]

haha just kicked it wit Rome yesterday

[soulxfox]

Rome's fucking likable as shit.

'nuf said(:

[RTKaczor]

I'm a fan of Rome, I'm liking it...totally my style....re-kindled my love for singing and playing acoustic guitar....

cant wait for some fresh Sublime with Rome...or is it SubRome with Lime?

haha i like that.

[areddubbleu]

@RTKaczor haha awsome its def subrome with lime

[shotguntee0428]

rome is just trying to take sumblime's great talent and making it his own not in a way to disgrace the name of sublime but to show people that there music is still going. if u dont like the way rome sings dont push ur judgement just press the back button and move on. wat makes rome a talented musician is that he can get into the song and show u how he feels

[guzzy985]

amen brother!

[ACEvsJUSTIN]

New age, new times, updated version of Brad, Bud and Eric are proud of Brads spirit continuing to live on through Rome!!!! RIP BRAD!!!

[richdanks]

omg this is absolutely terrible the original sublime members must really need some fucking money. brad would roll over in his grave.

[xanryoka]

[J0rdy23]

Nobody is replacing Brad (& could ever) they made a whole new band who happens to have original Sublime members, & sing original Sublime songs..& happens to have Sublime in the name..WITH Rome..& I can't wait to hear more from him..

[jcolli23]

He's good, should lose the piercing though.

[70359hb]

this guy will never EVER replace bradley!!!!!

[jcolli23]

@70359hb no shit.

[elymcginty]

love this shit

[elymcginty]

fuckin prime

[kylwntr]

I didn't like this guy at first, I guess because I felt kinda offended by the notion of replacing Bradley. Then I accepted the fact that he isn't trying to take his place, he is helping the spirit of Sublime live on. There is no doubt this guy's good.

[bimbim18ok]

@kylwntr

Agreed, Noone can replace brad, but face it, he's got a good voice, and if you close your eyes and listen, you can tell he's feelin' it, IMO he meshes well with the sublime style in his own way. I just wonder how the song writing will turn out though. Yes brad is gone, but Eric and Bud are still goin. Either way I will buy thier CD just to support them. I loved the Long beach dub all starstar albums, it showed they still had it even with brad gone. Live the dream guys.

[Zbandman]

@kylwntr i agree



[anothergirl618]

@kylwntr I felt the same way in the beginning... then I heard him say he would never sing "Caress me Down" and I was happy, he really isn't trying to replace Bradley, no one can. :) You're right this guy is talented...

[Alraul2008]

@kylwntr I love the response Sublime fans are overall giving this guy compared to Alice in Chains fans gave their new singer. Their is NO way any of these guys will EVER replace the original guys and I bet my nut sack to science and research they aren't trying to. Props to all my fellow Sublime fans giving Rome respect.

[littledrummerboy420]

@Alraul2008 Alice in Chains doesn't have a new singer. He's been in the band basically since the beginning, and did lead vocals on several tracks. But I agree. Rome is awesome. And I like that you recognize he isn't trying to replace Bradley, because let's face it. That's impossible.

[Alraul2008]

@littledrummerboy420 The black dude?? Yes he is new. Jerry Cantrell is not the lead singer. He did sing some songs lead back in the day but he isn't or won't be there lead singer. Yeah I just wish people would quit hating on ANY musician for that matter. Don't like move on. SUBLIME!!!

[ErinMJ2311]

I love this kid! His voice is amazing!! Rock it Rome!

[ronkstar631]

eric bud and rome<333 like all of us i miss the original sublime but we should all know by this point we cant have everything we want. This is better than we could ever have asked for after bradley passing. SO PLEASE/ just be happy that eric and bud are continuing their passion for making us vibe. Whoever the frontman might be i sure as hell know i support them. P.S. Rome your a BEASTTTTT!!!

[po9chaser]

very good

[JakeRunnalls]

He does sublime justice, but I think he should do more original songs than original versions of old songs. still, the guy can sing.

[Hotpockets311]

rome is legit!!!!!!!!!!!

[JPrimo550]

Wtf is radio?? RAWsession..ftw!!

[leerizt1]

tab?

[slowgt777]

2:00 - sick...rome is the shit btw.

[2AiRiKRaYgOzA3]

How can I download this song?

[FresnoStateBulldogs]

@2AiRiKRaYgOzA3

It's on iTunes for .99

I wish he would release a CD though....this stuff is gold

[uogf]

@2AiRiKRaYgOzA3

try using youtube downloader

[acandelaria]

aw i like him =]

[arod4life0320]

this is seriously amazing. shut the hell up haters and go listen to your gay ass music faggits.

[BrianMalone89]

A hat

[sk8rmike77]

even though rome will never fully take bradleys place he is a great musician love this song but he has the talent to fill some of the void

[Jon525]

if he's good enough for wilson and bud he's good enough for me, there will never be another brad. but this guys still pretty good

[eastmick77]

he played with Dirty Heads at KFMA day last week one of the best songs Iv ever seen live I support him I think Brad is smiling down on this guy Blazzin a big fatty for all of of us digging the music

[getcrunk07]

damn this gave me goosebumps

[getcrunk07]

@getcrunk07 now that i think of it... the first 3 chords are based off Santeria... coincidence? but still awesome..

[sanaseri]

amazing!

[iKeepitReel]

i think this guy should make his own album. he could be sooo good. i think he will do a great job with sublime, but he could do super good solo.

[erika09xox]

Of course Brad was awesome =) But I think Rome has a great voice as well.

[killaofvinila99]

yeah Rome is awesome...i try to keep up with him on his fan page as much as i can

[mecasocool6656]

fuck yeah rome is the shit

[usualstranger]

This guy is pure, talent enough said. Bradley would be proud.

[Inventifier]

its always weird when bands get new singers, but i think Rome is great :) (Bradley was unbelievably amazing and unique so no one will ever replace him! R.I.P.) also: love is all that SUBLIME has got, so remember that - stop the fussing and fighting

[ErinMJ2311]

Fuck yeah! Yay for Rome and Sublime!! RIP Bradley James Knowell

[chelseakilla]

hes good, stop hatin.

[dtcmac]

FUCK HATERS-

You are right, it's not Sublime without Bradley.... It's Sublime with Rome

[etk71]

This is not Sublime,not without Brad

[xxBILLDOZERxx]

We should all be stoked.... we have some how cares enough to learn all the music and someone how loves Sublime ....He complements Bud and Eric so good....KEEP ON TRUCKIN ROME.....

[saintstephen74]

to all you people talkin shit you suck! I actually saw the real Sublime and they aren't trying to replace him its more of a tribute to Bradley! If Rome is good enough for Bud and Eric then he is alright with me :)

[satifymysoul]

I love this kid, I love his songs and love that he's the new (latino ) front man for sublime. Cant wait to see them in Philly its going to be bananas. I agree " Good music is Good music"

[missionblank1]

@subimeyouthBJJ the guy in the comments below me asked could anyone post or send me the tab, so me being a guitarist for 15 years, took it upon my self to share some of my knowledge lettting him know what he was playing. your a jack ass to assume i was talking shit on anyone, yet you had to turn it into an arguement. dont respond to me again you fucked my entire day!

[DanielleLedz]

I want to buy a cd with him on where can I do that????

[vicario420]

All you haters out there are just that, HATERS. Brad is dead, yes we all with he wasn't, but he is. Give Rome a shot, the kid is good. And i thing the new Sublime is going places with him. So if you dont like it dont listen and shut up.

[whoops0710]

his voice is whoaaaa.

[luiz706]

i agree with you!

[lethaldomestics]

does not matter if he joined sublime or not this guy is going to make it big. sublime is lucky to have this guy cause brad is not easy to replace. people should give this guy more respect he can bring back sublime make all feel a little at home again. Check out alice in chains new cd w new singer . dam amazing

[gilsk8r85]

give this guy some credit. hes the new big thing. hell, almost as big as the regular sublime. and im pretty sure the dirty heads gonna go realllllly big someday. i mean bradley would probably be getting along with rome the fact that they prtty much do the same exact thing everyday : hang with friends, smoke, and make music

[dmoneyford]

ur not brad but im glad u no that. but ur still illllllllllllllllllllllllllll and i hope u no that

[jmd182]

what is the strumming pattern?

[slandbass]

rome looks like my gay cousin

[evbludmn]

I wish people would shut up about their Bradley comparisons when the album "Sublime" was relesed Brad was already DEAD! Then they re-release 40oz Kid sounds good Eric and Bud are the reasons we know Sublime!

[WladicusMaximus]

I really wish rome would play original stuff instead of playing tributes to sublime. I love sublime, but after bradley passed its not the same. This guy is amazing and deserves to be known for HIS music :D

[LosPeebles]

@WladicusMaximus yes they're playing tributes, but they also have an original album coming out sometime next year

[chipsgood]

@WladicusMaximus this is original you jack ass. This guy is a hell of a song writer. I fucking love ROME. Keep it up buddy. I will be down till the end. Keep that legacy we all call Sublime alive. Never ending respect to Eric and Bud for not laying down and doing what they felt was right. I would give the rest of my life to be in Romes shoes. And he deserves that spot if anyone does. I will see Sublime in September. Not Sublime with Rome but Sublime. Thumbs up this shit and let the world know.

[jaysonlemoine]

Is this a original ?

[billshiza666]

yea it is

[Iccer182]

Zomg guitar tabs?!?!? PLZ!

[missionblank1]

dude look at his hands, its A F# A F# D E D E. thats atleast the begining. there is more to it but its just power chords
