what i like about this is you can kinda tell that he aint singing it from the heart and trying to pass it off as his own that so many people do with covers. He is singing it like a fan with the fans.
i agree with ya there mardigan16 really good drums and some of the best bass out there right now. I have been drumming since i was like 6 my dad opened for a couple big time rock groups like tom pettey,boston, and a bunch others and i always tried to play the old rock but my favorite style to play is sublime nice reaggea, skate.and punk long live SUBLIME!!!!!!!!!!
Sublime W/ Rome has a 6-date tour starting 4/20 in Los Angeles at the Palladium. Rome's guitar tone sounds eerily like Bradley's. The beginning of this he has Brad's growl in his voice like down pat.
@DJBkrabi I beg to differ. I have played numerous brands and always go back to Ibanez, mainly for the sustain & action. If you play the TOP OF THE LINE Ibanez models you would understand, don't base judgement on the base model $500-700 guitars. You can say the same about Fenders, Gibsons etc... if you play the $500-700 models.
i love ibanez. my first one played was a s470. same color and everything Brad had. my guitar now is an Ibanez. '77 Les Paul Custom. i perfer Ibanez over Gibsons and Fenders.
@sinnaever I have an Acoustic Ibanez Concord witch is practically a Gibson model, but made in japan and it sounds better than any other acoustic i've ever touched (besides Martins).
sounds pretty good i like the dude he sings good not brad but good... brad is irreplaceable hopefully they make some new music i'm kinda tired of listening to old song i know them all too well and long beach dub all stars and shortbus isn't the same... but a good band i do like with bud on the drums is delmar reno reminds me of early sublime fast paced as hell
I agree its like the new Alice in Chains, If Robert is good enough for them then its all good. And Rome is amazing thought not Brad, but if hes good enough to be playing with them....then hes good enough so ppl stop talking shit. IM ABOUT TO SEE THEM LIVE AT THE SMOKEOUT NIGGGAAS
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
Sublime rocks, played many a party in my back yards, can't wait to hang with them again in a month or so at Smoke Fest, should be more good times. I support the new Rome thing, give them and him a break there will never be another Bradley but at least keep the tunes rolling.
guessing form the response of Troy(brad's wife) they might be dealing with the legalities and other issues everyone had, i'd give it another month or so before we hear anything solid.
not recently. i feel like rthis concert was just an experiment to test the fans if they want them back or not. never really heard of anything other than the confermation of this concert.
STP!!!!!!!!!!! probably no. 4 for me as far as sublime songs go. my top 3 (and, believe it or not, i actually know a ton of non-mainstream sublime) are 1. santeria, 2. badfish and 3. what i got.
Another vote "Yes" from a longtime Sublime fan. This guy Rome is great, nice voice, seems pretty modest about it all. Who knows what new material would eventually come out of them, but I (along with at least 20 friends) would cough up the dough to see a set just like what it looks like they played in this clip.
oh boy. a little weird to hear them doing the heroin songs again... but holy crap this is guy is good, modest and down to earth. for the love of god, tour.
because a taste of honey is worse than none at all...
people have to realized that no one knew brad better than bud and eric. If they are up for it and thinks its awsome, so should you if your a fan. Rome is sick and without a doubt going to their concert.(if they have one)
PInk Floyd Nooo.. David Gilmour sang anyway on like half of the stuff before Waters was gone so please dont use them as an example cause its not a good one.. ACDC though is a good one
look guys, hes got HUGE balls trying to fill brads shoes and guess what? hes not bad, damnit hes good
they come to ny fuckin right ill be there
if Rome is good enough for eric and bud, he should be good enough for us, they wouldnt just stick any random guy in there if they didnt think he could perform the job admirably, i mean bradleys been dead for nearly 13 years now, they certainly didnt rush into it
I think it was brad who said "good music is good music and that should be good enough" mega props to rome he is living every sublime fan's dream right know .
i think it sounds great and i even agree with everyone saying they aren't trying to make this kid "the new brad," but do you they have to call it sublime? i dunno that part feels kinda weird. great energy though, couldn't have picked a better guy to front the band.
Rome, you got my support bro. He's not trying to be anything he's not.. just a good singer that fucking LOVES Sublime. As long as that name keeps appearing and those tunes keep playing, tell me how Brad will EVER be forgotten.....not gonna happen, my friends. Awesome...
He would want them to do this IMO, so much love in their music. Why not keep the train rolling in memory of him ? I would like to be able to make people feel happy from the grave....
Live in Reno and went to the show..great event to be at. Not a hardcore Sublime fan but Rome sounded good I thought. Small venue (300 people) so sound quality was a bit weak. Glad I could be a part of it though.
ugh, no brother, he's not. did u just wikipedia rome or something lol, cuz that guy is about 40 years old im guessing. this kid is from california, go figure
Cause hes 20..... But its all good I'd never in a million years think to see another sublime cd. lets all just show a little faith... I mean no one does it like brad but at least we all get some new shit!!!!
I've been looking for news, audio, video, ANYTHING about this show for the past 24 hours. Thanks so much. Bradley will never be replaced but Rome sounds great!
Yeah does sound like him. Definantly did his live homework. I was pretty against having them use sublimes name and have this dude sing, but you can't help but appreciate watching this
hearing all of the fans yell "SPEEEEEEEEED" With Rome just made my day xD
