Boss DJ - Reel Big Fish

[sepsk]

COOL ASTIG

[BadComenter]

Stop arguing I'm pretty sure Brad knew RBF personally he did a concert with them I saw the flyer it from 92 or 93

[badfish13]

Just an FYI sublime did not originally play this song as it was adapted from 'roots rockin' by Aswad, look it up Most of sublime songs were variations of covers even pawn shop, look up the song war round deh Jon shop But that's fine with me because Brad and sublime always dud song justice and added their own original flare and brought reggae to more people.

[badfish13]

The samples on this version are awesome ridiculous!

[feeneymacho21]

What if i wanna hear it 3 times? ;)

[TheMusicluv1]

Check out "Chillin" by Five Wheel Soul

[v00dochild22]

doesn't have the raw, edgey feel sublime has but whatever

[MsSkEAZE]

reel big fish.. covering sublime..... FANTASTIC! (=

[truemynameiscameo]

Boss d.j. is my favorite Sublime song, i really like this cover too.

Its a little less acoustic a little more up beat.

I don't care if some people think its Ska and others don't, as long as it makes me move thats all i care about. haha. (:

[PoisonAmber]

i clicked this just cause i wanted to see a bigger version of this picure

[qwertymf5]

0:15

[coolbreeze101b]

Im ok with covers because when I listen to the Sublime version then I can listen to the Reel big fish one, truly so nice I want to hear the same song twice thanks RBF

[theguy118]

dat cover art :D

[LoganBetch]

Corny as fuck

[coolbreeze101b]

@LoganBetch then leave no one wants you here its not corny its awesome

[ActionRoad]

I tried to like it, its not terrible but its nowhere near Sublimes version. But I hate ska so, yea.

[Badfish93]

@ActionRoad How do you hate Sublime when Sublime is ska music? (Mostly)

[ActionRoad]

@Badfish93 They're not really ska, they just have similar influences as a lot of ska bands. I don't really know how to describe it, all I know is I love Sublime but don't like RBF and other ska bands. kinda weird I guess

[Badfish93]

@ActionRoad I know what you mean.

[BoronganBata]

@ActionRoad you hate ska yet love sublime?? hahahahahahahaha

[ActionRoad]

@BoronganBata sublime is not really ska, they're more dub. 

[BoronganBata]

@ActionRoad yeah right you're smart they actually a mix of a lot of genres

[grantcanskate]

reel big fish is played the fuck out.

the sound is so mainstream and annoying..

[ZeroXFallen]

Ironic how they turned an emotional semi-sad song into a happy upbeat song on THIS of all albums.

Cheer up.

Get it?

Haha.

[MrVilliVanilla]

SICK

[TheeRelization]

ppl gotta calm their cocks haha. you''l never win a youtube fight.

[limasierratwoseven]

For all the RBF haters it's a seperate song entirely like coca cola and pepsi it's the same shit but totally different, think of all the RBF fans who might never heard of Brad, heard this then listened to some Brad and now love it... it's people doing shit like this that keeps the soul and memory alive otherwise we're just gunna get fucking old and all this amazing song writing/making will be lost.

[codemannix]

Too fast my nigga.... we sublime fans like it slow with a beat.... Not that hard but hard enough to please a motherfucker.... Like sex with me... Just hard enough for them to enjoy it then if i feel like it i'll give them the full treatment haha

[volks151]

destroyed this song

[undathebridge]

I don't mind Reel Big Fish, but they fucking destroyed this song. What made the original so awesomly emotional was that it was just Bradley and his acoustic guitar. Sorry guys, but this just doesn't do the song justice.

[apemeisterflex]

i cant believe how bad this cover is..

fuckin horrible..

and i reeeaaally dont giv a fuck a fuck if u giv me thumbs down

this fuckin sucks gay american "ska" balls

if you want ska listen to cafe con tequila or something of the sort

because this shit is fuckin gay

[420canvas420]

im seeing sublime with rome live in toronto in two weeks fuck all yall lol hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­haha dirty headz are opening btw hahahahahahahahahah

[motokid413]

@420canvas420 sounds fuckin gay

fuch rome and the dirty heads

[apemeisterflex]

@420canvas420 rome is a fuckin fagggggot!

he shouldnt even be aloud to sing sublime songs

brad would've smacked rome with a used condom

.. rome sounds like a lil fuckin wimpy ass girl..

if you like sublime then u will giv rome no respect

i fuckin know eric wilson(bass player)

he's doin it for money and because hes bored

because long beach shortbus is no more...

FUCK ROME'S SISSY ASS VOCALS

[rift267]

@apemeisterflex STFU cuz anyone is his place would take the opportunity to play with sublime just hating...and if u "know" erick and u think u can do a better job y didnt he ask u?

[rift267]

@apemeisterflex im not saying im too thrilled about rome either but its all just hating either listen to it or not...

[volks151]

@apemeisterflex you don't know shit, and brad and rome have such close voices that your makking fun of brads voice, stop being a jealous lil bitch and accept that its what the band wants (eric and bud) and gett on with your life

[Shua4two0]

this guy fuckin sounds like weird al or something...lol for real

[ruki25]

This song is so nice I listen to it twice!

[dcsublime1234]

thats horrible

[iyanasan2]

im jamaican and love this band < damn dem good!!

[coolbreeze101b]

Your right sublime ( I know its reel big fish but it was writin by sublime) Ill listen to it again

[MetalRAGE230]

i think reel big fish did a good job with it, its some enthusiasm to the song but i still like sublimes version better brad does have more soul

[coke378]

i no but its to fast and no soul in it

[GodKill123]

@coke378 The Orgianal Verison didn't Have any soul on it too. And I would know, Because Boss DJ is my favorite Sublime Song

[volks151]

@GodKill123 your an idiot the original had mad soul you fuckin retard, you call say you like sublime and then you say brads got no soul, every song of his has soul, and i hope rome keeps truckin

[GodKill123]

@volks151 How an I an idiot? That Whole Robin the Hood Album was all lazy recording. Sure some songs have a little soul, but Boss DJ sounds like he just got up from his Cocaine trip and just got singing. Sure Boss DJ is a Great song, But even both verison don't have soul.

Plus, Rome Sucks. If Rome Doesn't even bother to look like he's from Long Beach then forget about it.

[InsomniacAlex]

@GodKill123 What does appearance have to do with anything? Rome is awesome

[coke378]

fuckin ruined the song

[fezz2000]

@coke378 dude, Bradley would be happy to hear someone else cover his stuff.

[metalniglet9]

reel big fish is to white boy ska for me :(///

[aWindydog]

how the hell do people not know what ska music is?!?!

[KAMTxInferior]

MLG

[Slimhugo18]

Thankyou for clever covers Reel Big Fish. Not too big a fan of a lot of their originals, but they sure know how to spice up good shit and take it up a notch, given you're in the mood for a cover heh.

[thesublimechicka]

I think the cover is so different but it is good. But i like Sublime's better. it's just a personal preference.

[gman13130]

you guys are, with a few notable exceptions, dumb. why fight over rbf and sublime? honestly. rbf is just not compatible enough to sublime (in terms of instruments and personality) to make more than decent covers of their songs. i like this song, cover and original...just they can't be applied to the same standard

[zpalombi]

xhaley33x your a fucking bitch

sublime is alot better

[tntboom420]

wow this is nothing compared to sublime they do it way better but its not bad

[xhaley33x]

this is so much better than the original sublime version

[saddamhater88]

@xhaley33x you fuckin bitch don't ever talk shit on sublime again or i will find you

[jonman45]

@xhaley33x your a faggot that is impossible the origional IS THE FUCKING ORIGINAL..IT CAN'T BE BEATEN. you may liek this version but it is impossible to be better

[apokerjoker2]

Both versions are so nice. Can't you just hear the same song twice?

[jonman45]

@apokerjoker2 i know that both versions are nice. I never dissed it at all.

[Fenderkicksass]

@apokerjoker2 ..........no actually I can't

[Badfish93]

@xhaley33x You're crazy, this versions pretty good, but Brad put alot of soul into it

[camodude51]

ITS SO NICE!!!!

[eltotoX]

Best cover I've heard! IMHO it should've ended at 2:37 but it's still very nice!

[hixenbaughm]

jeez reel big fish is amazing

[chunkyhunkymonkey]

this is a pretty legit cover. I liked how they add thier own shit in it.

[beakman10]

sounds awesome, but you just can't beat sublime

[420beastly]

this song's nice im gonna hear this same some twice . :) thts my lyrics

[duugan1]

its good

but i dont like it its just not the same as the original

[Rocknniko]

I honestly like both of them the same, but for different reasons.

[Thrax2]

I have listened to worse covers. This is not bad

[binjlim4]

TinyLungs: Agree, Riffkid96 does suck dick

[TinyLungs]

@binjlim4 life's too short, might as well love the one u got ;)

[Riffkid96]

@binjlim4 you pussy fucks ur moom sucks my cock this cover is a terrible rendition and you know it unless you hate sublime

[Riffkid96]

this sucks dick

[TinyLungs]

u suck dick

[boobsmakesmile]

@TinyLungs

Indeed.

[Riffkid96]

@boobsmakesmile fagg

[Riffkid96]

@TinyLungs fight me jew

[mikeybson1]

good song good cover comee onnnn. ya feelin the same way too?

[reelbigluke49]

oddly enough, this song is so nice, that I wanna hear it much more than just twice :)

[theunlableableadam]

Awesome cover. :)

[wampler258]

Everyone needs to relax. It's a different approach than the original. It's just for fun and kicks. Obviously RBF has respect for Sublime as they covered one of their songs.

[fbelanger]

i think sublime is one of the best band and anyone said sublime suck miss something ! rbf made a cover of this song because, i think, they like sublime not to prove they're better (sorry for my bad english i'm frensh )

[alexia988]

Well said.

[jackdaripper676]

Why does everyone say that sublime sucks? i for one have made a complete understanding that people cover music beause they like the song and band not because they think they can do it better. if anyone thinks they can improve on a song they didnt make, they are seriously sick in the head.

[sublime526]

Damn the fact that anyone could say this is better than the original blows my mind bradley could sing this with no band, no acoustic, drunk sitting on the toilet taking a shit and im pretty sure it would still be better than this

[marmaduk3]

sublime is awful, overplayed, and overrated. rbf is a 10 times better band, in every way.

[Vossajex]

@marmaduk3

watch your words, this is the internet.

[iluvmychucks]

are nott dontt hate mann there both really good

[MachineKnoT666]

i think we would get along

[Rocknniko]

I'll be dead honest...

I like this version better. Except the "Oowee girl" part, otherwise, I do like this version better.

But much respect to Sublime!!

[JimmyBshaw]

Not as good as the original but hey.. thats why its a cover. i enjoy this version

[theirishhateyou]

This song is so packed full of memories! And I adore it, it's such a lovely cover. It's nice that the two versions are so different, it means you can enjoy the awesomeness that is Boss DJ no matter what mood you're in. <3

[SkankinNegro]

as much as i like RBF i gotta say this just doesnt hold up to the original but most covers dont they did a good job on this as they do with most of their covers either way both songs are good in their own way

[Krayzie313]

what so wrong about lou dogg??

hes fuckin awesome and to me hes part of the band just as everyone else is.

rip bradley n lou your music will be cherished and appreciated

its just not the same with out you...

no one can replace you brad..!!

[125Onetwofive]

Sublime is my favorite band, but this remake is like my favorite song right now. I think its better than the original.

[MilliHAX]

BOOOOO

[boothole312]

agreed, i always loved sublime, but the original doesn't work as well as this one imo, this was actually the song that got me into RBF

[XxMetalxMilitiaxX]

this is nothing compared to sublime.

[matthickey1987]

YouTube haters are gay. I'm a YouTube hater hater. This song is fuckin eh! Sublime is my mother and punk rock is what my loins are made of. Wooooooooooooooooooo

[rbf192]

reel big fish is awesome

[OneLove1993]

sublime and jacky j do it better

[DWdrummer57]

agreed but this is still good

[kicknbazz1615]

How the hell can someone hate Ska music!?!?!

[wompasdub]

@kicknbazz1615 always wondered the same thing myself

[mba100]

@kicknbazz1615 True. it Just makes me so Happy (:

[crippleslayer]

@kicknbazz1615 because its sappy and lame

[coolbreeze101b]

@kicknbazz1615 Becuase they like my chemical romance lol

[carlitoxxwwe]

pretty cool band rbf

[RageAgainstMachinist]

Sublime is my favorite band, but they are not the greatest band ever by any means. I think most big Sublime fans like myself can agree they made incredible music but they are not the greatest band of all time. Legends, but not gods.

[whoopstick0923]

there gods. no one can ever match what Bradley and sublime can do. Thats why this song sounds like shit.

[sublimedubstyle]

i think bradley would appreciate this

[StiGMaT14]

wtf is wrong with u all anyway

[tnt131]

try the original:) its not everyones taste:)

[ShooBdoo22]

did not know that ha

[pulsedrummer4]

I Am A HUGE Sublime Fan. No Lie I Listen To Them All Day. They Were A Variety Of Genres. Ska. Punk. Reggae. Acoustic. That Doesn't Matter Though. The Point Is That Sublime Is THE Greatest Band Ever Formed. Always Has Been. Always Will Be.

[tnt131]

couldnt have said it better my friend:)

[vwsherman]

sublime a.k.a the best band ever was a ska band but boss dj was not a ska song it was more alternative

[iamfragile]

love reel big fish and sublime. and sublimes was acoustic. not traditionally ska . psssssh

[RickDaGr8]

jackass, sublime is a ska band. get your head out of your ass

[rydogv13]

actually sublime was a punk skaband they only had a horn in a few of there songs.ska is just one of the genres of music that bradley induced into there music making them one of the greatest bands of all time

[RickDaGr8]

indeed =]

[JoeHammerschmidt]

Sublime is not one of the greatest bands of all time I love them but.. no I will not agree.. they didn't have any more originality then NOFX or The Specials, or The Toasters but they still get all the credit for just getting famous when everyone decided to start listening to good music.. and seriously don't get me wrong Sublime is an amazing band and their new cd will probably be decent but.. Sublime even copied the entire way "Lori Meyers" is played by NOFX compare that and "Seed" by Sublime.

[chanmeister]

dude you smoke so much rock

its unbeleivable

sublime disbanded when two thirds of the band died.

[xXJoryXx]

i agree with the harshness of the comment because that other dudes retarded but half of the band died not 2 thirds, unless you are considering brad and louie or just brad to count as 4 people total?

[suicidekingz]

louie is a dog are you serious?

[JudahLionOfZion]

Lou dog, yessir.

The dog on the sublime gold cover

[snowboarder113518]

lou dog was/is a symbol for the band and what they are all about...thats why he is so important to the band

[MilliHAX]

two thirds of the band didn't die. o_O

Bud is alive

Eric is alive

Bradley is dead (RIP)

If you include Lou dog (RIP)

that's still only half. who's on the rock? o_O

[DWdrummer57]

THEYRE MAKING A NEW ALBUME!!!!!!!!!!! but theres no bradley

[HippieNoMore]

turning any song into a ska song only makes bad music.

[RickDaGr8]

it was a ska song originally, fuckshit

[HippieNoMore]

evidently you've never heard of Sublime.

[Cazi18181]

Then why are you listening to a Ska-Punk band?

Fud.

[HippieNoMore]

Because it's good?

You've lost my point.

[s3xyb3astsixty9]

it's okay, it'd be better with just a single track for vocals...

[Meilikki]

twiztidjuggalette01..... BREATH.

[twiztidjuggalette01]

WHAT THE FUCK? Shoo Boo?? How can you say that sublime shouldn't be said in the same sentence as nirvana?? Sublime is the best shit! Kurt cobain sang without soul he had nothing on brad vocal wise. I like nirvana. But They lacked emotion. Sublime had soul, Good lyrics, And a happy esay going sound. They made BEAUTIFUL simple acoustic songs then brad goes and drops amazing raps with a sick tune. They mixed in so many good styles into one style that blended. DONT EVEN PUT DOWN MY FAVORITE BAND!!

[RickDaGr8]

i love you

[cowboysfan1215]

this songs good, but i like the orignal one better

[legaeldan]

Aaron Barrett is like, the exact opposite of Brad Nowell

[casey771]

covers arent supposed to sound like the original version they are supposed to have their own twist if they dont have their own twist what would be the point of covering it?

[ElmisterJorge]

Sublime are an amazing band...

but i hate they're fans,

the last load of comments just prove it

[TheFunnelWebb]

agreed.

[000JAHMERCY000]

You guys are goofballs. This is a perfectly respectable cover. I say that as a possessor of almost all Bradley's work. If you don't like it you don't need to be offended. I don't think Reel Big Fish was trying to stick it to Sublime or anything

[curtisof]

meh... it's alright... i can't help but cringe a little when bands cover epic bands like sublime, nirvana, led zeppelin, or pink floyd. even if it's good

[ShooBdoo22]

NEVER, ever put nirvana in the same talent range as sublime ..

those other bands okay, but the fact that you even mentioned nirvana in the same sentence as sublime other than to state that sublime pwns the shit out of them, makes me wanna puke. I mean c'mon..polly wanna cracker? wtf is that shit. drummer is ok, singer is overrated at writing lyrics, and never had a good voice, bassist is poop. so get outta here with that buuuuulllllllshit

[curtisof]

who are you? nirvana created a freakin genre of music that has influenced an entire generation of rock bands!

[Ynnadodgers]

Is Polly the only song you've heard? Otherwise it'd be safe to say you know nothing about modern rock and music in the 90s. But if it is, go check out some Nirvana..

[ShooBdoo22]

sorry guys, but i was also angry when i posted this. i like some of nirvanas stuff cuz its catchy, but being a musician, I think it's safe to say that Dave Grohl or however you spell his name was the only talent in that band. Kurt could write depressing and sometimes meaningful lyrics, but he couldn't play guitar worth of shit, and their bassist was just ok.

[Antilegal69]

haha more like 5 times! not twice!

[mohawk1020]

covers (especialy ska and punk) don' sound like the originals. I like both the original and this cover

[ShooBdoo22]

i don't like his voice.. i like the reggae/ska mix but this drummer either is very very modest or he sucks dick, and I'm thinkin the ladder, cause ive seen them live and heard a lot of their other stuff.

[scratchproof1984]

each song sounds like the same

[Ravengate123]

I like sublime and this version and im tired of people complaining about it being too upbeat and different from the original because if it was mellow like the original people would complain it was too much like the original so just shut up and let it be.

[ShooBdoo22]

i agree. im not even comparing this to the original when i critigue it, just stating my opinion on it. I always wondered what a non-accoustic version of this song would be like anyway, but i think i could write it better, not to sound cocky. i like reel big fish though

[sublmieneverdies96]

okay i dont see why every n e is flipping a shit i HATE this version i want sublime to bee long lived and embracedd but dont fuck up an amzing song like boss dj if they would have just coverd it it would be ok but this just sucks!!

[Freak0fNouture]

The original and this suck.

[Frozenmind32]

To you sir, Fuck. That is all.

[ThirdStall]

i think i would like this more if i never heard the origional. its okay. i alove ska but this song wasn't supposed to be this way. its supposed to be slow and bluntly pathetic. this is way to clean and fast and there are too many instruments. i love you fish, but this may have been a bad choice

[1985rocker93]

bluntly pathetic? dude, it's sublime. it's chill. that's how it goes bro. sublime is most not pathetic.

[88Sublime96]

Im a HUGEEEE sublime fan, I don't see what people don't like about this, I fucking love ska and I think Brad would of liked this I can imagine his little dance to this

[Gazzaman27]

i like the live downloadable version better, no annoyin bubble sound, a bit faster, not too much crowd cheering. its all gd :)

[dmellow45]

i kinda like the organ and shit, and this would be sick if you were in a bar with a little buzz goin and it comes on...ie its catchy, but nothing compared to sublime. but props anyway

[cowboysfan1215]

this is alright but sublime is way better

[XoXoluvmissy]

sublimes is sooo much better
