  • The way he says "...care of head" uumm woah!

  • Haters will hate. Thats why they exist. This kid was a sublime fan playing their music on his guitar at 11!!! He grew up listening to sublime and now sings the shit. Any one of you haters would do anything to be in his shoes. Rock on Rome!!!

  • a cover of a cover?

  • Not Brad, no one will be but it's nice to use Rome as a rememberance subject. I can't wait to see them live on 4/20. Hope they play the entire Stand By Your Van album....doubt it but hey, wishful thinking.

  • Very talented kid, but It just feels weird hearing anyone else but Brad sing and play this. He did a good job, and he is keeping the good vibes alive. Props to him.

  • I respect Rome an I'm glad he is helping to keep Sublime alive, but he looks like a total douche bag.

  • for thos of you who dont know this is actually a Bob Marley song so yeah suck it 

  • @hstpossum fucking fail

  • @hstpossum Its actually by the toyes, "so yeah suck it".

  • guys shut the fuck up. the rest of sublime, the people who actually knew Brad personally, think that rome is good enough, so why cant you? in my opinion, he is respecting Brad in the best way possible. by keeping the music alive.

  • Someone needs to up the preamp :P

  • someone should hire a contract killer to take care of him

  • start yer own band faggot.

  • ROME SUCKS!!!!!!!

  • @jadenpat you suck

  • can someone please tell me how this fucking kid ended up in Sublime? he sounds like every fucking pothead/sublime/bobmarley poser who's picked up a guitar attempted to cover this song!

  • FUCK the 30 sec ad.....totally worth it.

  • This isnt even originally a sublime song, so your arguments are invalid.

  • for those of you who are haters of rome and sublime with rome, they aren't making another cd because they're breaking up...

  • @goNCSUpack2010 im seeing them in june

  • imo it's an absolute disgrace these guys are using the name sublime...i don't care how good they might be or anything else...and i don't care if they do covers just using that name ****s me off.

  • @fellXhouseXranger Its their band.. they can do what they want... At least they still have the other members.. unlike bands who tour with 1 original member today.

  • @topside, no. the only thing that died with Brad Nowell was his heroin addiction. i LOVE rome, he's not an addict, he's talented, and hes a GREAT fit. Im personally really happy for the other members, they didnt deserve to get left behind just because brad had a thing for needles and highs more than he cared about the music he was making. his addiction left everyone else behind, and Rome is pure TALENT. if you cant see that, i doubt Brad himself would want anything to do with you. LISTEN & ENJOY

  • "I smoked two joints" listening to Brad, "and then i smoked two more" listening to Rome!! Sublime lives on!!

  • Damn political adds.

  • I miss the long beach dub allstars with his little bro.

  • Best shirt I've ever seen at the 311 and Sublime with Rome show in Cincinnati last year. "Down with Rome." on the front. and "Bradley lives on." on the back.

    Rome's a great singer, and fits in great with Sublime. Although he's no Brad Nowell, he's got a damn good voice, and is helping Sublime live on more than anyone else could.

  • its called jealousy...the same reason that hot ass chick that gave your dude a boner is a slut.

  • man i personally dont see why people talk bad about rome

    1. he has a great voice and fits well with sublime

    2. sublime is still around not just in our memories

    3. if they choose rome to be the singer that must have took ALOT of thinking to replace their best friend to play music

    4. finally, he can damn well play all of their old stuff just as good as brad did doesnt sounds completely like him but he has a great sound for it

  • You know what every single one of you talking shit about rome, your all ignorant pricks and I bet you a dub that if you met him you'd realize what a douche bag your being by insulting some one behind a computer screen. you little bitch. FUCK guess that makes me a hippocrit haha

  • Ugh, Romeo you fat slob come up with your own singing style and please stop butchering Sublime.

  • sublime is not a zombie cause this pork above is killing it

  • sublime died with brad

  • Lol He's Garbage In Smoke 2 Joints & Burritos

  • Tired of all these people hating on rome like ohh wtf but bradley this , acting like you personally know him & the rest of the band .. Get a fucking life & stop hating , im happy knowing that there still around playing good music ! Rome keep it man !

  • @FKNBOOGER97 i feel the same way man and i went to see them in concert and it felt great to see bud and eric having a great time and rome did a great job with all of the songs

  • @underthegun897 Song-ception!!!

  • a cover...of a cover........of a song.

  • only reason why the put 'with rome' is because the judge ordered them to. RIP BRADLEY. Bradley didnt want anyone to use the name 'sublime' without him in it and he registered that name under his name. so fuck these faggots for disrespecting his wish and simply putting 'with rome'. so fucking disrespectful. RIP BRAD

  • Lol that first part is so awkward "I'm Rome, and i sing and play guitar for Sublime.... With Rome.."

  • Rome, please don't do heroin. We need you to stick around for a while. Thanks dude.

  • @killerglove No please do as much Heroin as you need

  • Its good they call their band Sublime with Rome and not just Sublime, spares them a lot of Hate comments and hating Rome for nothing, he is a good singer

  • he killed it freakin awesome

    

  • no joints were harmed in the making of this video!

  • Big ups to Rome having the balls to even step up and try to fill in for Brad. On that note, he does a good job.

  • hes alright but not the ORIGINAL!!

  • this version kicks ass !-good stuff !-thanks for great post.

  • more like dub all stars with rome brad was the heart of sublime I think

  • 2 FUCKING SICK!!!!!!!

  • I AM SUBLIME WITH ROME.

  • honestly i think this guy is an awesome guy for the sublime crew of course NOONE cud replace bradley but ukno it is what it is glad there making new stuff!

  • why the fuck is mac miller on my screen with sublime

  • nice COVER.

  • Indeed He Is No Bradley But"HE IS The Chosen One"! Just Glad They Brought Sublime Back!!

    Rome Is Simply Doin Bradly Justice bcuz Even New Sublime Fans Are Goin Back n Listening To The Original Sublime=)

  • hrm anyone know where you can find the tab to the guitar solo's?

  • @MitchTubre fuck tabs, your ear is your best tool

  • I'm honestly tired of seeing Brad's name all over sublime w/ rome vids... yes he was a legend and cant be fully replaced, we all know! So can we please just let the poor man rest in peace??

  • I think Rome knows he'll never live up to or replace Bradley. But he sure as hell pays a damn good homage to Brad's legacy. I used to think it was blashphemous having Rome perform with Sublime, but I got over it, grew up, and realised it's not a bad thing. You know, when ever Sublime with Rome play, Brad's up there on the stage with them.

  • @EternityInValhalla You've said it the best, he isn't try to replace Bradley. He has his own voice and style, which fit and work with Sublime's sound. He pays great homage to Bradley and the Sublime of the past. And how many other band suffered the same fate only to come back with a different lead singer, and were well received? I can think of a few; INXS, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Queen, and how bout the most notable, AC/DC! I'm with you, and DanteDevil2727, RIP Bradley!

  • Amazing! Love you Rome <3

  • hard work good, hard work fine. BUT first take care of Head....

  • hes hot

  • it aint a replacement u fuckwitts its sublime with rome u fuckin haters r just jealous

  • .I. rome sucks

  • Of course you can't replace Bradley, but I'm going to tell you what, Rome is fucking phenomenal

  • it's hard to replace the bradley.. this kid rome does a damn good job!

  • fuck rome maybe if he played his own music id have some respect but fuck that this fool thinks hes bradley fuck him

  • @dojabreath11 Dude the fuck you get this from? He knows he ain't Bradley, he's doing his own thing. Fuck off dude.

  • @dojabreath11 You ignorant fool.

  • Well i think Romes a badass !

  • Rome actually does sound awesome singing the old stuff.

  • Rome without Sublime.

  • Comment removed

  • and i think the most important thing to think, is if romes good enough for eric and bud...hes dam well good enough for me!!! long live sublime

  • Sublime's message was about having a good time with everyone and I'm sure if Brad was still alive he wouldn't mind jamming with this dude! We gotta do with what we have! Yes, Brad was that instrumental piece to what was named as Sublime in both the literal and the figurative forms! Everyone needs to chill out and relax... Enjoy this music if not don't tune it, simple...

  • If you actually met Rome, Eric & Bud. You would know whatsup. Rome is no Brad but he is sure one hell of a guy.

    Would you rather listen to tribute, cover bands singing sublime? Then the actual real deal singing it? Give Rome a Chance

  • fact of the matter is ....hes playing with bud and eric and you dumb bastards arent so shut it:D

  • this is a discrace this is bob marley's song

  • @icezethro can you play this song better??

  • @icezethro It's originally by The Toyes dipshit. Not Bob Marley. And you can't listen to it expecting it to sound exactly like Bradley because it's not going to happen. Stop being a close-minded fuck and just enjoy the music. I'm sure if they didn't use the name Sublime no one would have a problem. Just enjoy the music and help celebrate the life of Bradley Nowell with all the TRUE SUBLIME FANS.

  • @DrStarscream94 thats mean you have to be pg bc im only 12

  • @icezethro I don't have to be pg. You should probably get your facts straight and stop talking shit about this when you weren't even alive when Sublime was around. If you don't like Rome Ramirez, then don't listen to him. It's that simple.

  • @DrStarscream94 Agreed... I saw Sublime in a TINY bar in Eugene OR back in the early 90's and frankly I LIKE Rome playing with these guys. What's the alternative??? Brad's gone and Bud and Eric still want to play music so why NOT get a guy who is this good and clearly HEAVILY influenced by Brad to play with them???

  • @4rescue Exactly. Anything is better than nothing, and why not have someone as good as Rome that also loves and respects the music made by Bradley. Thank you

  • @icezethro bob marley died before the song was made

  • @icezethro You're so dumb hahahahaahahaha The Toyes bro. Look em up.

  • most of Rome haters are not from Cali... Cali Roots Dirty Heads Sublime Conscious Souls

  • do any of you really think that callin eachother bitches and douches over this will chang any thing ? i mean some people actually like rome so stop being immature and acting like you all know what your saying because we all know none of you will ever say it to the other ones face...

  • I just wish they would have changed the name but the funny thing is that with Bud and Eric in any band people would want to hear Sublime songs so I don't blame them for wanting to keep going. In the end it's not their fault how things ended and I'm sure Brad would be happy if they are.

  • weak

  • it's not that I don't respect rome, I just don't think he put the work in to be the front man of this band. He can barely play guitar.

  • @gaughancj Bud and Eric made him write all the songs on his own except for 2 or 3. If you look back Brad was no Hendrix either, he was more a Producer, not saying Rome is a producer but hes got a good voice and is up for the challenge and so far doing a good job.

  • "fueled by ramen" ....OF COURSE Ramen noodle sponsored that vid haha

  • gay!!!!!

    

  • what is this fat mexican doing, he sounds like he should be in a boy band, not playing brads music

  • @marjiks35 He is younger and richer than you, not to mention playing music /w Sublime for living. You, on the other hand, spend your time trying to make yourself feel a little better by venting your bitterness via youtube. A boy band? What kind of boy band has a "fat mexican" in it? You're a moron. Grow up.

  • @kmvoss shut ur mouth i dont want this douche to be making money and gaining fame by playing with bud and eric, u suck u have no respect and neither does anyone else and it makes me sad

  • @marjiks35 Why are you watching his videos? What a joke.

  • @kmvoss cuz this is what my favorite band of all time has turned into and it makes me cringe that the kinds of the modern era will grow up knowing this as 'sublime' its weak man. go home. its weak.

  • @marjiks35 You don't know that. I didn't get into Sublime until I was 17, years after Bradley passed, I never got the chance to be a part of a Sublime era, I think they were brilliant, but I only get to watch music videos or hear songs from the past. If they were even a fraction of what they were, that could only be a positive thing, You complain about originality, but seeing as they covered a few songs during their time I think they respected music, just like Rome does. Better this than Bieber.

  • @thebileball I wouldn't say Sublime switched singers. You can't exactly switch a member when the original died and they waited how long to put out music again? It's not like Brad died and a month later that started recording and touring again.

  • Why argue about such trivial things. Just let it be about the music and if you don't like the music then stop trolling Sublime with Rome videos on youtube. Bradley's gone and he's not coming back so get over it. The guys wanted to carry on the legacy that Brad had built, I find that to be very honorable. I'm sure Bradley would have wanted them too, or not, who knows. But what I do know is that Sublime with Rome is what we have now and if you don't like it then don't listen to it.

  • @tayler2727 we wont you dumb shit...quit acting like you know what the fuck your talkikng about

  • @FNFALcharlie Aww really?!?! My little comment made you that pissy that you turned into a little girl about it. Go back to first grade and learn to read, asshole. I never claimed to know the dealings between Sublime and don't act like you do too.

  • ur still a fat fuck

  • awesome

    

  • Love his voice. I miss sublime. but he's deffinately a good addition to the new band :)

  • oh and one more thing if the band had a different name would you still hate him........ i think not

  • @MrYort69 i think thats a big reason why hes getting so much shit. sublimes singer is bradley nowell, only bands that are douche bags try n switch singers n keep their names. trust me, i think he shoulda started a new band, theyre totally riding the coat tails of the pre rome sublime anyway. cheap imo but he makes good music

  • man fuck all you haters brad was the best but rome is damn good too just enjoy the music and shut the fuck up

  • haters rome is better then brad

  • @halojames1 no way in hell is rome at all better than brad. brads music shit things better than anything sublime with rome has or ever will put out but he is decent i guess

  • ha rome probably cant even name the band that originally wrote this song

  • @whatupmaaan i cant :/

  • i miss brad. i felt a connection with him bc i was an addict and im now finally clean 2 years. Rome is good tho keep it up

  • it gets gully at 1:30

  • @disfunkt1 what do you mean gully?

  • why the fuck does everyone keep going on about rome and brad. Sublime with Rome is fucking awesome, and you know it. its none of our faults brad is DEAD. enjoy the fucking music, god u all are such babies.

  • I just think of this as a good cover. Rip Brad.

  • i was geting baked that day. anyone else?

  • I'm going to say this without having read too many comments here: there have been many cover bands that i've heard through the years, some dont do justice some sounded so close that it was creepy, Rome brings enough respect and style to maintain originality and pay homage to the legacy that is Sublime, it is quite obvious that Sublime with Bradley was a huge influence on him growin up and he is right where he should be jammin with those guys. Good speed and shine on...

  • Comment removed

  • @thec130side I agree he does the song justice but he doesnt really need to do it to brad or sublime since the toys originally did it!

  • @thec130side Most Sublime fans also have no idea that this isn't even Sublime's song: it's originally by a band called The Toyes. In fact, the vast majority of Sublime's songs are covers of old reggae/ska artists that most people have never heard of.

  • But I mean I guess everyone would be fine with Dave Grohl and Kris Novoselic getting some random singer and calling it Nirvana with Dillhole, right?

  • @SkankinDevil89 You sir know what's good. No one sings or plays like brad did. Especially not with the same emotion and meaning. Brad is Brad is Brad, no impostors please.

  • i find it hard to understand why on every video of rome playing, or him playing with eric and bud, has to degrade the dude. he's carrying on the greatest music there is in the world. ive never seen so many fellow brad lovers/stoners argue about something... he has unmeasurable talent and plays exactly as brad did. no he is not trying to replace him. but eric and bud wanted to keep playing in memory of brad and they found a great fit to fill in to sing and rip guitar.

  • @Lemondank i feel the exact same way. personally seeing them front row with rome was amazing. he can jam the old stuff and sounds great and their newest cd is awesome as well. he is in no way trying to be bradley knowell, but like he said without rome sublime wouldnt be putting out any new great music at all. ROME ROCKS!!!! get over it people if its not your cup of tea then dont listen to it.

  • @SkankinDevil89 how can you say his voice is terrible when he sounds extremly similiar to Brad ? and he doesnt even try to . hes a perfect fit and im glad that the music is still being played.. brads legacy is not disgraced its succeeded, sublime is also my favorite band and if hes good enough for the ORIGINAL band members then he should be good enough for everyone. just dont hate on this guys talent.

  • it makes me feel not idiot

  • didnt he fire the bass player?

  • @458237 Lol where the fuck did you here that? Band members dont fire each other haha

  • i have that same hat xp

  • @SweatyGatorade LOL PROOF!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dahhhhh I only talk/listen to those that blaze........rake the yard toolbox; bet you blaze mids givin "potheads" a bad image; shwaggot....already doin that with askin proof on his habbits; smdh "DOES HE DRINK BEER TOO? I drink wine" FAHHHHHHHHHHHHHGET

  • fuck cobra starship!

  • @SweatyGatorade Look at him. He smokes......

  • @SweatyGatorade

    he most definately does. i saw him in concert this summer in WA. He had a joint in his mouth and thanked some guy in the crowd for giving it to him and then they played this song right after.

  • It's absolutely appalling that I type in "sublime acoustic" and this fucking travesty is the first video at the top. I was having an amazing night getting drunk and youtubing nostalgic Sublime songs and this fucking fat hipster hack shits in my ears. I'm sorry youtube community, I know you will all call me a hater but fuck this guy for THAT reason. I'm looking for Sublime songs.. I dont need to fucking indicate that I want SUBLIME instead of SUBLIME WITH ROME. Fuck you.

  • @DaNo44 No, Fuck You :)

    

  • Fuck this.

  • rome your sick dawg one day will play together same for bud n eric watch guys not fucken around

    r.i.p. bradley nowell u will always be the man

  • "yours truly" who album is deffiently for brad. look in the booklet thing in the case. i forget where, but it deffiently says this whole CD is for brad. so you shouldent assume. it makes an ass out of u and me

  • I dont hate rome and I think he does a good job of covering sublime songs, but I do think he should give some credit to the man who originally wrote the songs that have now made him famous.  I have not once heard him shout out brad nowell and I'm curious what brad would think of sublime with rome

  • nice job dude

  • don't drink and drive

    park and spark 1<3

  • @italiaboy1123 pull over and take sipps?

    

  • i figure if bud and eric can chill with him, so can i. keep rockin da sublime stylee <3

  • Drugs are for thugs

  • @naruto9tails15 and sobriety is for quitters.

  • ive been a sublime fan for 15 years, i have a sublime tattoo, ive seen Sublime with Rome twice, Hes the real deal. its their first albumn, Rome will only get better. Eric and Bud are JUST ON POINT!

    I miss Brad, I really do. Last time i saw them on new years in Chicago, i got sad. I wanted to hear brad so bad. But, Rome is doaing a good job. Check out their albumn. POOLSHARK FOR LIFE!

  • hes definately wearing sunglasses cuz hes high as hell haha

  • Blah blah blah. Brad's dead. Rome is here. He's better... and alive. 

  • @Solnishkox0x0x Not cool

  • Maybe I'm old, but why is that so many people today wear philly pirates hats? Is there a meaning to it? 

  • damn romes hot

  • Its beautifull, truly beautifull

  • damn hes sick...hes about the best replacement out there...well done

  • they coudnt replace him but damn this fool rome got some talent im glad i thought about it...

  • Sublime without bradley is the same that two and a half man without charlie sheen.

  • @Tickhocorinthians I know exactly what you mean...........not. This is Sublime with Rome, not Sublime. Nobody watches that gay show.

  • you can't say rome isn't hitting the mark cuz i mean damn... bud and eric chose him, you know he's got what it takes.

  • This makes me wanna cry...

  • chiquita bacana

  • hes not brad nah he never will be

    damn i miss that motherfucker, first concert i went to in my life was a sublime concert with bradley, sublime will never be the same but fuck rome can rock

  • Even with all the hate bro, you sound good. Keep it goin.

  • why do people hate rome? its not 'Sublime' its 'Sublime with Rome' a totally different band.

  • @AgentMAS I dont know ..its mayb cuz i think that people that have been "Sublime" fans since as far as they can remember like late 80's early 90's and when they now hear Rome singing the songs Bradley used to sing to them its not good enough.. haters voice there opinion like when comparing a good movie to its sequel. " The second wasnt as good as the original!" they say. But i say fuck those haters im just glad to b hearing Sublime period.With Rome Bradleys music lives on nd Rome can fuckin jam!
