A year ago I received static for stating Bradley/Sublime were not fans of the Gratefu Deadl . Much to Brad's dismay, I started to get into the Grateful Dead. . .. I don't think that he went to another Dead show after that. . . Eric also had a t-shirt that had Jerry Garcia’s mug on it and it said, “I’ll be Grateful when he’s dead!”
how day you fucks debate this !!! I am a head that grew up at the beach . I did not hear this till Jerry left us and I think it is Perfect < and I believe he would too . I think the Rap was written for me and my tour days !!!
Everytime I see Brad perform on videos..etc i think of what could of been and all the great music he be making today and i just get pissed off at all the stupid drugs that have taken all the great people >:( RIP Brad
I don't think anyone can say that one band is better than the other. They both are different time periods, styles, and influences. Both are fucking genius. Don't hate just learn to appreciate all kinds of music.
How could anyone hate on this??? Its a classic...no matter if sublime or the dead play it, if your hating get a life. Enjoy music and remember why your listening in the first place...to get away and enjoy life a little more. Now i hear the POOlice comin after meeee!!
Dude if u cover a song u put yor own unique twist on it and own and Sublime does it, to compare them and the Grateful Dead is like apples and bananas-both have substance and are good for ya but difrent style so how can people hate? idk
@riderpoet You really don't have to be Jerry Garcia to play that lick. It's not complicated. He just messed up on stage. We've all done it. Jerry Garcia did it. No biggie.
@riderpoet no, he was probably just so intoxicated he just said "fuck it". cuz i don't know what sublime you've heard, but that man can fuckin' solo like no other.
@ bzablo, i have no problem with sublime like i stated, yes these people watching may be sublime heads i understand that but man ive learned so much from the grateful dead not just musically but about life too..i know i can search the real scarlet begonias, but i just wanted to state that bradley will never shit on jerry garcia, that is the comment that set me off, other then that ive heard them play this alot better this is just alil sloppy.
check out my band called...FAT LIPPED FISH....keep the reggae rock growing...our first album is due march 2011!!...help support new bands in this awsome style of music!!
Ya you guys can say how sublime was multi platinum and shit but if you knew something about the grateful dead they did not give a shit about their records selling, they were a LIVE band, theyve played over 2000 shows, so for all you that keep argueing you should just stop because sublime will never be the grateful dead, not even close to it. I have nothing against sublime but when people on here comment on a cover that was done by the grateful dead and says this is better is just a complete joke
@FishGillProductions or, people just have different opinions. did you even consider that? if you're looking for the original, just type it in the search bar. people are obviously watching this one because they're sublime fans, which makes it a little more likely that they may prefer this cover.
HAHAHAAHA i love all these dumb people on here, first of all im sorry all you sublime fans but bradley does not shit on jerry garcia haha thats to funny when i read that and second of all sublime is not better then the grateful dead and never will be im sorry haha maybe some of you sublime heads should hit up a furthur show then we can talk, the experience and trance you get from these shows is alike no other. Plain and simple, there is nothing like a grateful dead show and never will be.
@FishGillProductions granted, that may be true, but there is also nothing like a sublime show. i've seen them with rome, who is no brad, but wilson and gaugh still give off their signature vibes that i've never experienced elsewhere.
I like the dead's version better but sublimes cover is still awesome especially with the drug verse brad wrote, haters can choke on it, they obviously don't know great music when they hear it.. have a sublime day and be grateful for it!!!
what i see at the top of the comments on nearly every sublime video is about his death, and not about their music..don't focus on the way we he left, but rather love the music he left.
In my very uninformed opinion, I think bradley may have been under the influence of a number of different things for this particular show, explaining the questionable solo at 2:27. Other versions of the song, on 40 oz. to freedom specifically, are much better.
@killerpoozdashit This Sounds Like Shit If They Want To Play The Grateful Dead's Songs They Sould First. Get Some Better Vocals (They Dont Fit For This Song) Second. Learn Some Jeryy Solos Third. This 2:27 Is HORIBLE
@mkonjhg1 dude check yer shit.. bradley and jerry are both miracles and they protrayed that through thier music. grow a brain man. sublime and GRfulDead were both musical revelations. grow up and appreciate the music as it was. RIP Bradley, Lou Dog, and Jerry.
@mkonjhg1 its just the different style that isn't Deadlike, but isn't that the whole point? To make it ur own? I think Sublime was great at doing that and Brad was drunk and high when he played. Being really drunk and playing is tough. ut seriously, who cares which is better. The original is awesome in my opinion too.
@rsohlich1 i Like Covers Of Songs I Like But I Dont Like When I Say I Dont Like This Version People Have To Get Deffensive Was'nt jerry High When he Was playing? answer : YES! But I Prob. Dont Have The Feeling For This (Messy) Of a Cover because Im In A Grateful Dead Clone' band
Brad you are very missed....except that I listen to your sweet vocals on a regular basis and will teach my children to appreciate your music and pass it onto their children ... you wil live forever
not bad.... I like the dead jam better, scarfire. and to all these fools on youtube, sublime obviously respected the dead if they chose to cover this song. plus the lead singer is groovin!! im sure he was a dead fan. stop the hatin on either band, they were both amazing! rip brad-----rip garcia
@KalmaFox, also if you hate Sublime Sooo much, i wonder how you wound up here, like i said you're a dick! I think your mom would agree but it was hard to understand her with her mouth full!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@KalmaFox, how does it feel to be the biggest dick on the internet? well since you are so fuckin smart u would know that Brad got famous after he died because their self titled album was the 1st and only album to get airplay on the radio. Second their two albums prior to that was produced by them and sold locally out the back of their van. And last, as i recall their FIRST major record spawned 4 (thats right) top 10 hits on their firtst album. Go check out the GD and see how their first did
@kalmafox dude your chatting wetter than my incontenent grandad!! whats this 4th wave your on about?? pretty sure wer'e right in the middle of that right now, sublime was the start of the third. and comparing them so lady gaga and some tool called justin? you having a bubble or you jacked up off on smack as you type??
and all sublime fans are ididots? so that rules out about every punk/ska band since 1992 that knows the roots of their music. you clearly dont. so quit your bitching and jog on.
Damn man I didn't think such a nice song would generate so much hate... then again it IS youtube.
I'm a deadhead, but I also love sublime. Both versions are great, the end. To argue about it is completely ridiculous. Jerry and Bradley would BOTH be ashamed.
@icantbreathe I completely agree. Grateful Dead created the original, but Brad had his own interpretation that suited sublime, and its a good song either way
@alysheba1979 I'm totally not denying that Garcia wasn't a junkie, and I think he was a fucking moron in that respect, but I still love him for the talents he had and the beautiful songs he wrote. Sublime have nothing that can touch the Grateful Dead. ^_^
@doppido Jerry actually had talent. Listen to songs like Mountains of the Moon, and you'll see. Bradley was a fucking moron who wrote songs about fucking, weed, and other forgettable shit.
@KalmaFox The Sublime version is ten times better than the grateful dead version. Oh and btw, Brad had plenty of talent his band sold over 17 million albums. So obviously people loved him and respected his talent. I dont care if you hate ska and that blah blah bullshit just get off the video and quit telling sublime fans that you hate sublime and calling Brad a junkie. Jerry Garcia died of the same thing, DRUGS. Both are amazing musicians.
@Subtonic2837 .....Ten times better? You're a fucking fool. And I don't hate Ska, I fucking love ska. Real Ska, though. Not this watered down 4th wave bullshit that Sublime pupmed out. Yeah, they sold a lot of albums, because they were a FAD. Just like Lady Gaga or Justin Beaver. Just because they sold a lot of records doesn't make them good. It just means they found an audience of idiots.
@KalmaFox And Grateful Dead didn't write about weed? Weren't they the biggest stoner band of all time? You can't hate on a band for writing about a certain subject, then love a band who writes about the same thing.
@doppido No, they didn't actually. They didn't specifically mention any kind of drugs in their music. If you actually researched things before you spoke, you'd make yourself look like less of an idiot. Fucking douche.
@KalmaFox You do know that the Grateful Dead had acid parties back in the 60's and was known for their drug use, right? Jerry Garcia was ten times the "junkie" that Bradley was; his Heroin addiction lasted over 30 years!! They both died from the same thing so to say one is a junkie and the other is not is just plain silly. Also, take a minute to listen to their voices (you say Bradley was not a musician) Bradley could out sing Jerry any time of the day, but it was about the music!!
@MrBonnell74 Yes, yes. These are all facts, but they never explicitly talked about drugs in their music. And yeah, Jerry was a junkie, I already said that he was a moron in that respect. Bradley could out-sing Jerry? No. Not in a million fucking years. Jerry had a beautiful voice. Bradley sounded like a douche.
@KalmaFox@MrBonnell74 Sounds to me like gARCia was a pussy by what your syaing.. Bradley musta been a way bigger junkie cuz he took his drug use all the way much quicker than the guy who sings rippple did.. Seriously.. your retarded.. go overdose like bradley
@damiendilucchio1 To me they were,so dont try to tell people otherwise, its like saying ribs is not the best food, when to some people its there favorite
This is NOT a cover - Brad and Sublime made this their own! You could call it an interpretation, but definetely MUCH more than a cover. i loved the Dead, but you can really feel the ENERGY when Brad was singing... no one else comes close!
R.I.P. Bradley! You're not the ONLY one, but you're the BEST!
@Just4Meeeee No, it is a cover. please people stop name dropping you all sound like idiots. LOL what was i thinking coming into a sublime video thinking i wasnt gonna find idiots ahahaha rep kalma fox all day!
@damiendilucchio1 Saying 'Sublime were not fans of the Grateful Dead' is asinine. How do you know that? If they covered the song I am sure they were Dead fans. What a stupid comment.
My favorite band. Deadheads who say sublime was just a cover band should not forget that some of the best songs the Dead did were covers. Sublime did such great covers that they put their unique spin on songs that made them their own. Both band are actually quite similar other than the premature end to such a great song writer..Brad you were the man.
garden grove, badfish, slow ride, 40oz. to freedom, ball and chain, april 29 1992, santeria, waiting for my ruca, what i got, wrong way, they're great man, "its all about the music, and the fans who make it possible."-jerry garcia

why does everyone hav to b so fuckin gay if u dont share a love for sublime dont post any comments on a sublime video im sure theres plenty of peple who dont like ur music but u dnt hear them bitchin we love sublime end of story
lmao look at you all fucking arguing especially kalma fox fourth wave pop ska, its fuckin music
enjoy it thats what its here for, but apparently there has to be conflict in ever fuckin word these days, if theres no conflict its not good, take your shit else where bro cause no one really gives a shit
How can you diss sublime? Why do you think brad did so many covers? because he wanted to introduce more and more people to ska and reggae bands/artists...that's why he had so many covers and reworked a lot of the songs...
yea dude thats what made them good they put their own spin on songs especially this one it uses the same chords but its played ska like. and for people who say this ruins the original jerry loved sublime and liked the spin they put on his song
@unciebub I'm well aware of how Bradley died. Slamming heroin up your arm for two years *is* killing yourself. You obviously missed the point.
He treated it like an experiment to write better music so record labels would recognize him. Even after they were signed, he kept doing it. Now the world has to miss out on everything Sublime might have accomplished.
damn i bet back in the day, these fools were just tryin to make it and doin cover songs and probably were just looked down upon in their day, thats making me wanna go here som underground not that popular stuff. too look for some gold mines, like sublime
Everyone needs to stop their useless bickering. Sure this band took a Dead song (my favorite, as a matter of fact) and made it their own. That's nothing to get mad about. Any deadhead who is annoyed about this is a hypocrite because a large majority of the Dead's music is a cover of someone else's music.
i believe the point of a troll is to succeed in bothering somebody, and it seems by this person arguing with the 'troll' he is bothered. therefor the troll succeed. i thought that was pretty funny :)
I have to respectfully disagree with you. He was conflicted and that's something us kids could relate to. His music was alive and helped some of us feel a little more alive too. If it's not your taste then fine. Not much my taste anymore, but to imply that we're fucking retarded in turn makes you sound fucking retarded, if you don't mind me saying so. No disrespect ment, I just mean it's not a logical argument either way.
Obviously they had some love for the Dead, as well as Marley and other influences. That is besides the point. I still love the Dead's version, but also love this! It doesn't have to be one or the other...each in its own time! SUblime and the Dead still wear out my CD player!
Easy kids, you can't really compare the Grateful Dead to Sublime. Comparing different generations is like comparing apples to oranges. To each is own. Love your brother and light one up.
yes the dead were by far the better band, but I actually like this version better than the original, which is not one of my favorite dead songs. But does anyone think that there are comparisons with Sublime's story and following and revolutionary musical style and the early Grateful Dead?
The sublime version is much better than the grateful dead version, yes the grateful dead version is the original, but this is one of the rare covers that is an improvement on the original
You really have no appreciation for the Dead. Listen to some real music.
Sublime were a 3 album fad, and yes, most of their material is absolute shit. They don't improve on it. They just replaced the beautiful instrumentation with generic Pop-Ska chords and added a ridiculously stupid verse. This is horrible.
First off lets learn how to use the english language correctly, it is was not were and didn't not don't, but that aside first i never said that i didn't like the dead or have no appreciation for them i just said the sublime version is better. second the only reason sublime has only 3 albums is because brad DIED not because they were a fad. Last time i checked a shit load of people still listen to sublime even though they aren't a band anymore. By the way sublime isn't Pop-Ska at all
you deserve a kick in the teeth, you know what pop ska is its no doubt, nothing like sublime, they only had three cds cause bradly nowell died and the band broke up out of respect and try to learn a sublime song you come to find out it is a lot harder then you thought, even though i do not agree with snowboarder113518 gd version was way better you cant say anything about sublime cause they did more for ska music then any other ska band will ever do
Oh yeah, they did so much more than any other ska band. Lets just forget about The Specials and Desmond Dekker, oh yeah, lets just forget about Symarip and all the other influential ska bands. Sublime were a bastardization of Ska. Fuck off.
@KalmaFox how where they a bastardization of ska as of my knowledge they are one of the most famous ska bands and without them most bands would not make some of the songs that they made so shut the fuck up
Haha what? Dude, these guys are 4th wave pop-ska bullshit! The most famous ska band is The Specials, who predate Sublime. As do The Toasters, Desmond Dekker, etc... Read up on ska before you spew off your bullshit, and for the love of god, learn to spell.
you need to jump off the nearest bridge immediately if you think sublime sucked. ya they covered other peoples songs but so did the dead. and the songs they wrote on their own were fucking incredible also. you must have written your post as a joke because theres no possible way you can ever hate on sublime.
@calzowned I honestly hate Sublime, and your post just made me hate Sublime AND their fan base even more! Telling me to commit suicide because I think a band sucked? Yeah, maybe I'll go out the same way as Bradley! Heroin overdose! HEROIC! Wouldn't that be awesome?
The Dead covered people songs, yes, but they did it beautifully. This is just shit. Fuck off.
@KalmaFox hey I'm a Sublime fan too, but I'd not say anything like "kill yourself" because you don't like them. I only like The Dead marginally. Sublime just a bit more. Isn't it about the music though? Isn't everyone entitled to their own opinion? One love people (like Bob Marley says) stop the hate, it's unnecessary energy expelled in the wrong direction! Heroin...yeah that's some bad shit. Brad knew he made a bad choice, most junkies do and just can't get away. its sad. RIP BRAD & my friends.
@KalmaFox Thanks. I've had a lot of friends die from heroin overdoses. Watched em go downhill...that shit takes over and they just can't seem to get away from something they know is bad...like smokers with cigarettes. Music is LOVE people...it's too bad it's not addicting like heroin or nicotine...well, maybe it IS. Cuz I can't go through a day without a fix!! haha
@OxfordTown I'm actually very open minded. But with this particular song and band, I've made my decision on whether I like their music or not. That's not being closed minded. I'm the most open minded person you'd ever meet. Don't pass judgement on someone you've never met. And I apologize for doing so with Brad, I'm sure he was a perfectly good person. I just really dislike junkies.
I didn't come here specifically to poke fun at his death. That's not my style. I just have no respect for people who die by their own hand. Everyone holds him up on this godly pedestal, and really he was just a junkie.
@KalmaFox seriously people learn guitar and i guarentee sublime songs will be the first songs you learn theyre so simple its retarded and obnoxious. sublime's originals suck. yea i dissed every single one of sublimes originals, suck my balls faggots: rowzadower, pwhite2fella87, smokencoke** (FAGGOT) **, doppido, subtonic2837. rep kalmafox* sorry u hadda deal with all those fucking faggots it makes youtube seem like a shitty website when ur annoyed for everything you say

@KalmaFox The Sublime version is ten times better than the grateful dead version. Oh and btw, Brad had plenty of talent his band sold over 17 million albums. So obviously people loved him and respected his talent. I dont care if you hate ska and that blah blah bullshit just get off the video and quit telling sublime fans that you hate sublime and calling Brad a junkie. Jerry Garcia died of the same thing, DRUGS. Both are amazing musicians.
Subtonic2837 1 year ago
@Subtonic2837 .....Ten times better? You're a fucking fool. And I don't hate Ska, I fucking love ska. Real Ska, though. Not this watered down 4th wave bullshit that Sublime pupmed out. Yeah, they sold a lot of albums, because they were a FAD. Just like Lady Gaga or Justin Beaver. Just because they sold a lot of records doesn't make them good. It just means they found an audience of idiots.

@KalmaFox And Grateful Dead didn't write about weed? Weren't they the biggest stoner band of all time? You can't hate on a band for writing about a certain subject, then love a band who writes about the same thing.

@KalmaFox You do know that the Grateful Dead had acid parties back in the 60's and was known for their drug use, right? Jerry Garcia was ten times the "junkie" that Bradley was; his Heroin addiction lasted over 30 years!! They both died from the same thing so to say one is a junkie and the other is not is just plain silly. Also, take a minute to listen to their voices (you say Bradley was not a musician) Bradley could out sing Jerry any time of the day, but it was about the music!!
MrBonnell74 1 year ago
@MrBonnell74 Yes, yes. These are all facts, but they never explicitly talked about drugs in their music. And yeah, Jerry was a junkie, I already said that he was a moron in that respect.

My favorite band. Deadheads who say sublime was just a cover band should not forget that some of the best songs the Dead did were covers. Sublime did such great covers that they put their unique spin on songs that made them their own. Both band are actually quite similar other than the premature end to such a great song writer..Brad you were the man.

He treated it like an experiment to write better music so record labels would recognize him. Even after they were signed, he kept doing it. Now the world has to miss out on everything Sublime might have accomplished.

Everyone needs to stop their useless bickering. Sure this band took a Dead song (my favorite, as a matter of fact) and made it their own. That's nothing to get mad about. Any deadhead who is annoyed about this is a hypocrite because a large majority of the Dead's music is a cover of someone else's music.

No disrespect ment, I just mean it's not a logical argument either way.

You really have no appreciation for the Dead. Listen to some real music.
Sublime were a 3 album fad, and yes, most of their material is absolute shit. They don't improve on it. They just replaced the beautiful instrumentation with generic Pop-Ska chords and added a ridiculously stupid verse. This is horrible.

Last time i checked a shit load of people still listen to sublime even though they aren't a band anymore. By the way sublime isn't Pop-Ska at all
