Rome and Kat - Jonas Brothers "Lovebug" LIVE @RAWsession (Sublime with Rome)

[Wipu52]

WITH THAT MOUTH YOU SAID "SECRET TWEAKER PAD"?! ASSHOLE!

[ChristopherMartin123]

@aaroniamescua haha lol. He looks annoyed. And the girl is all smiley.

[TheMc610]

Lovebug is the only JoBros song I like and I love this cover of it!

[Ksnydes12]

why isnt bud in there playing the bongos??

[trentonblaine1987]

@Ksnydes12 bud aint in there playin bongos cause he cant stand rome. thats why he just left the band. you can read the real interview at budztv.com. so now they only have one member from sublime left in eric. rome is super talented but this whole thing is a marketing scheme and its really fucking sad cause i been lovin sublime for a long time

[Ksnydes12]

@trentonblaine1987 Really? That seems weird because I just saw them in the summer of 2011 and bud was there playin the drums

[trentonblaine1987]

@Ksnydes12 yeah he left in mid dec. 2011. at first they were trying to say he was just taking a break for his fam, but there is an interview with him at budztv.com where he tells what really happened. you can tell he couldnt stand rome and the direction the band was going

[Ksnydes12]

@trentonblaine1987 oh alright ill have to check that out.

[1toRespectReggae]

great song! SHE CAN SING!

[juggalettetillidie2]

rome wants nothing to do with kat and kat wants everything to do with rome lol

[boyhurricane]

I havent heard the jonas brothers version of this, but i'm sure this version is 1000 times better than the original :)

[RedSoupMusic]

Rome is fantastic

[bryanjay1984]

wow, this is actually a really good rendition of this song.

[canbuyu]

I love that girls voice

[celestialmehhh]

Anyone else catching how Kat was looking at Rome??? Lol ;D

[JhurtadoOo]

0:03 look at how happy kat is and then look at Rome!

[aaroniamescua]

@JhurtadoOo Rome is all like, "I'mma punch this girl.But, I'm gonna try to ignore her."

[wildc19]

can*

[wildc19]

damn i wanna marry katt! her love bug cab bite me(=

[MrSuzenka]

dead serious he looks so pissed about having do do this song... i have a feeling this was kats idea XD

[cnashrun5]

@MrSuzenka haha your right he doesnt look into the song at all

[SeveralFatChikz]

they should fuck

[MeSoSwagger]

He looks pissed off

[310guitars]

hahaha even Romes's like fuuuuck thiiisss xD

But it sounds pretty good, overall

[daniellemguimaraes93]

mandaram muuito bem!



[S2LovinS2]

Love this song, and Rome:)

[MrGeiger]

great music



[heavymetalbassist5]

Doesn't sound bad, personally if it wasn't for all the douchebags commenting that this is a jonas brothers song I would never know. I hate when people think that musicians in a certain genre shouldn't cover songs from another. I don't listen to the soft pop stuff so I don't know the songs or people so just chill and feel the music the way a musician does.

[PurpleM7]

does anybody know if this is the same girl that sings in "you better listen"? i think it mite be..

[jewcy21]

@PurpleM7

No, it's not Kat Nestel who sings on the song.

Maggie Walters sings in "You Better Listen" on Sublime W/ Rome's "Yours Truly" Album.

Too bad Kat wasn't on their album.

[CRABCORE4EVA]

why do people even hate the jonas brothers never understood it just like the hate for justin beiber. hating because they're famous and have alot of fame?(had for jonas brothers) never was a big fan of either but never understood the hate

[doubleozervas]

it sounds good but i feel that a jonas brothers cover is wrong. Can't wait for a Sublime with Rome collaboration with Justin Bieber:)

[pierrelevtchenko]

eric playing a jonas sisters song just seems so wrong to me

[gabbiee19]

uhm it sounds exactly like the jobro version only suckier. the girl just ruins it.

[imacoolkid613]

@iheartkidholden i agree that Rome made this sound somewhat better... but no, this song isn't musically compelling or lyrically compelling. the melody is quite elementary and the chord progression, juxt. Not to mention, i really wouldn't be surprised if a generic disney songwriter sent in from the corporation wrote this in an attempt to brainwash 10 year old girls to buy Jonas Brothers merchandise. But i still like Rome...

[TheACEofBANE]

@imacoolkid613 Just look at it as being musically simple, its not supposed to be an over the top technically constructed song, just a cover of a song in a simple, and cliche love-song-esque song. Don't like The Jonas Brothers at all. just saying that most of the songs we hear on the radio are so musically simple and elementary that REAL music is lost, music with real feel.

[iheartkidholden]

@imacoolkid613 Oh, yeah, it's definitely a simple song but a song like this needs to be as simple is as it is I think

[RaNdOmDiPpY]

Everytime that girl smiles it makes me laugh, She gives off such a good vibe xD

[TheyCallMePig]

lol... he called it jobros....

[iheartkidholden]

@TheyCallMePig hah, I know, it's honestly out of laziness that I didn't feel like writing "the jonas brothers" 5 times

[somehow888]

pay attention to the other dude with the guitar :D:D:D:D

[SaNtOsLeOsTv]

eric? playing to a jonas brother song D:?

[supertom85]

Who is this Kat girl?

[avilaalexisnorth]

Eric is like

" i can't believe this shit"

haha Bradley would have raped this song

[jimmythkid]

can anyone tell me what chords he's playing during this?

[MondayMidnightMovies]

@jimmythkid hes just playing bar chords so if you just watch what frets hes playing on you can figure it out, or you can just search the chords online

[kx100sublimekx100]

Eric what the fuck I knew Rome was gay but you Eric you're cool and everything but alot of my respect for you just flew out the window.

[DuskDemandsDaylight]

@kx100sublimekx100 lol shut the fuck up

[YesYouAreIgnorant]

@kx100sublimekx100 If anyone in the original Sublime gave a shit what anyone thought about them, or their music, they wouldn't have the following they do today. In other words... no one fucking cares what you think. ALL of their music is outside the box - they practically created a genre. So for Sublime with Rome to cover a song by the retarded little Jonas Brothers, and do it much better, is pretty badass if you ask me.

[WhiteRoarBlack]

Eric is too high to realize what they are singing.

[j4un7ers]

i no its a jonas brothers song i dont like the jonas brothers and i never herd there song but now that rome sings it its okay and i never plan on listening to the real version ahahaa

[kstock89]

WHAT you created the Jo Bros ?!?!?!?

Mind = Blown

[calichic97]

he makes me wana get a lip piercing haha

[cala4nia]

this is like the lest gay version of the jonas brothers;]

[12345JJBB]

Fuck off Rome...

Anyways, I like how they changed the title of the video cause all of the sublime fans were pissed aha

[kizzait]

Ur dumb. Rome is amazing

[mauriciog1612]

fuck this is crap made out of the best materials

[sexyworley]

they sound so amazing together :)

[thesamwise007]

who better to step up to the plate than rome?

[nickyjayyyofficial]

i've never heard of kat before, but her voice sounds really good!

[badfish15]

@nickyjayyyofficial shes a local orange county artist who has done alot of work with a few reggae bands. her and rome dated for a while too.

[antwhitaker]

Dont know anything about Jonas Brothers but i recently discovered Sublime w/ Rome and been digging around for different things Rome has done and this and everything else ive found is awesome Ive been jamming sublime since 94 and really like Rome hes talented and deserves to be in the graces of Sublime. They are a great band and have always tryed to keep jamming after Bradleys untimely death the addition of Rome really takes it back to the old days long live Sublime RIP Bradley and Lou dog

[Iccer182]

Gotta say this song is pretty legit now

[boredom465]

They probably did this to get in Kat's pants

[badfish15]

@boredom465 rome was already in her pants at this time. ha. they were actually dating during this rawsession set.

[DecodeEdmontonGamers]

Rome always looks so nervous. XD

[scottposton714]

Kat is kinda cute

[dave5613]

not sure how i feel about this? They make the song sound good but every time they say "love bug" I cringe. Sublime may want to stick their roots for a while before producing this kind of stuff. I like what Rome does for Sublime but I think this song was a mistake.

[thecosmichippo]

@dave5613 If they make the song sound good to you, then what really matters outside if that? This is a fantastic jam session cover no matter how you cut it.

[dave5613]

@thecosmichippo True but "lovebug" is still hard for me to swallow. It may grow on me some day.

[chefboyard34]

rome is too good to be singing this junk eric looks bored go sublime

[anthonydbryan]

I was at a Sublime tribute concert about 4 years ago and Eric looked over the crowd and said you all must be hard up! It pissed me off!

[jewcy21]

It's good to see Eric is a well-rounded musician.

[miketoddsocal]

hey dudebrojay... who killed himself?

[dudebrojay5]

ya he killed himself you truck. AARON YOUR A FAG. He OD'D he killed himself.

Same as my friend. Your putting chemicals that are killing you into your body. Trust me. I kill myself everyday.

And yes I met him. And Ive gone to his grave and had a 40 on bolsa/beach by my house. In northern OC.

suck a fat one :-)

[aaronleslie100]

Dudebrojay5 or whatever the fuck your name is. Brad didn't kill himself you dumb fuck, he OD'd on heroin. And I highly doubt you met brad or sublime for that matter. :)

[dudebrojay5]

Obviously no one will ever live up to BRADLEY. So why compare? Sure its not sublime. Its the bassist of the long beach dub allstars pretty much. THey are doing tribute/revivals their own versions. And Im okay with it. I happen to like the soft undertone. Sure hes a fat fuck. But dude, its music. Enjoy it, breath it in, or else move on. I dont get you people. I am so fuckin negative and yet, I never remark on a nothers music. Why because thats their interpretation. Its all art you guys.

[LBCSublimer89]

@dudebrojay5 who are you talking about here? the bassist of LBDA i mean..

[dudebrojay5]

iTS AS SIMPLE AS THIS... ROME DOES REVIVAL/TRIBUTE. AND IT HAPPENS HES DOING IT FOR SUBLIME BECAUSE HE MUST BE A GOOD DUDE. i MET bRADLY, YOUR RIGHT HE WOULD SAY FUCKOFF. BUT THE DUMB TRUCK KILLED HIMSELF. SHOWS HOW MUCH OF A SMART DUDE HE WAS. DONT GET ME WRONG I KNOW EVERY SINGLE SONG OF SUBLIME LB D a...BUT I LIVE HERE IN LB. AND KNOW THAT BASSIST YOU ALL TALK SHIT ON.ID SAY IF YOU LIKE IT, ENJOY IT. IF YOU DONT... WELL MOVE ON.BRADLEY WILL BE REMEMBERED BUT NOT FOR HIS PERSONAL TASTES.

[dirt1265]

she looks like the chick from scrubs

[JayZilla306]

@pkingownzurmom

man, most sublime songs were covers.

were only gonna die,

5446

scarlet begonias

thats just a few

[pkingownzurmom]

and its not "sublime" its rome if the original singer of sublime was asked to play this song he would say fuck off he doesnt redo songs. he originates his songs....

(original)sublime was great i mean rome is an amazing singer but not a sublime voice.

[dudebrojay5]

For one, Jonas brother original is fucking gay.

And since sublime remade this.... Its the best it could be!

[crystalwells2000]

I think this is GREAT!!! MUSIC is music!! Don't be such haters and judging people by what they look like. Just enjoy the purity of the musical talent!!!!

[LTdrumma]

this girl is really good seriously they should make Sublime with Rome plus Kat, that would be a good band

[KrystaC18]

Damn this song is really good, very well put together. :)

[thegreatdinosaur]

ha rome... lisp. cannot get your thsmile out of my mind...

[ogBIGGINS]

@thegreatdinosaur pfffffhahahahaha so fuckin funny. 

[kw121488]

do they not have any other clothes

[RudeboyUT]

Rome and Eric really need to never ever EVER disgrace sublime by doing a jonas brothers cover.. loss of respect for both dudes.. Bud still kicks ass tho

[AnarchyZombie666]

rome made this song better

[jackbentley708]

@AnarchyZombie666 a dying animal singing this would have made it better than the original

[12345JJBB]

Why did Rome ever agree to do this?

This makes me so legitimately unhappy

[iheartkidholden]

anyone who is up in arms about someone doing a jobros cover is just pretentious as shit. if you're a legitimate musician you'd see potential in a song like this. i actually used to play this song a bit when it was new and always imagined it like this. i mean, dont get me wrong hate the jobros just as much as the next guy but i always thought this one was okay and not afraid to say it because i knew it was a good song even if it was originally by them.

[TrenchtownBongs]

@iheartkidholden its a jonas brothers song....

[iheartkidholden]

@TrenchtownBongs thats what i said...

[TrenchtownBongs]

@iheartkidholden b-b-but... its a jonas brothers song...

[iheartkidholden]

@TrenchtownBongs oh, oh. i get what you're doing here. yeah it is a jonas brothers song. but just like not every song a good artist puts out is good, not every song a bad artist puts out is bad. yes, overall the jonas brothers are pretty gay, but this song isn't bad, so get over yourself man

[TrenchtownBongs]

@iheartkidholden but the thought that eric wilson would cover a jonas brothers song... the real sublime covered bob marley, peter tosh, toots and the maytails! it hurts a little.

[iiTzoreo1]

@iheartkidholden hell yeah man.

[YesYouAreIgnorant]

@iheartkidholden Haha... never heard someone call them "Jobros"... then again I've never even heard them mentioned outside commercials when my kids are watching the disney channel.

[RaNdOmDiPpY]

@iheartkidholden Spoken like a champ

[thesoftsquid]

@iheartkidholden thank you, could not have put it any other way myself.

[lithium1385]

LOVE HIM.

[652aleks]

lmfao @souultosqueeze hahahah true....

[Zachpwns25]

He took a song that was horrible, and made it very listenable.

Good job Rome, keep making amazing music please.

People are just butt hurt over Bradley, I understand why, but let it go.

This guy is an amaizing guitar play/singer/songwriter.

If anyone should replace bradley, I'm glad it's him.

[thegame998]

Eric seems really thrilled to be covering the Jonas Brothers.

[harrysevenzero]

This guy just seems like he loves what he does. People have some respect. This a well written song performed well by people who are passionate about what they do. If you throw all your preconceived bs out, it's a damn good time...

[applesandorangesprod]

I hope you guys realize that it wasn't Rome's choice to cover this. Raw Sessions picks the songs for them so quit having an opinion of him based on this cover.

Rome is amazing. He respects Brad so much. "Youre not the only one, but you're the best Brad." Rome even goes to say that his "biggest inspiration as a kid was Bradley." Bradley Nowell will forever be the best. Rome is letting his legacy live on by keeping the music alive along with Eric and Bud. Seriously give Rome a chance.

[Giablo1]

i want to fuck that girl in the mouth. hahah. but good cover romes a very great musician. SUBLIME FTW

[pinkmusiicluva]

AMAZING! 

[littleRastaman]

wow sublime kick Jonas Brother ass

[dukefan4991]

i understand that its fuckin gay that rome is doing a cover for sublime but you have to look at it as he just made this song bad ass, he pretty much took their lyrics, which they didnt even write, and added a complete new spin to the song without gay jonas brothers voices

[1decimal8tango]

the fuck? I've been trying to accept Rome and this "new" Sublime band as positively as I could, but a fucking Jonas Brothers cover? fuck this....

[AngryGoats]

@1decimal8tango Dude, it's just music. People seem to hate the Jonas brother's because they're sellout disney kids. Who honestly gives a fuck? Rome took someone's lyrics and made a badass song out of it. He isn't trying to replace Brad and everyone knows that will never happen. But Brad would've wanted people to play music for the sake of music - not to be original to his band. That's what made his music special. It was music.

[MrOrangeCounty]

I think they do it better than the Jonas brother.

[luckeybucket]

wtf jonas brothers eric come on bro

[shawn1818668]

@luckeybucket hahaha its a pretty good song.

[muhbawz]

@coolbreeze101b lmao so true I think I can say for sure now Rome is a douche and does not deserve to even be associated with Sublime omg Brad would be turning over in his grave it makes me sick to my stomach to think of my favorite band doing a cover of someone like that

[xxxxdarksidexxxx]

Lou is amazing. Big ups to Lou Dog from 17th. Thanks for letting the seedless band jam out their album. Can't wait for that drop date. Pick up some seedless rawsession!

[eddygjayr]

People need to cool it. This is RAW talent at its finest.

[atdejong]

i f'ing love these videos!!! those voices just work really well together!

[coolbreeze101b]

WHAT THE FUCK i got love dont get me wrong I got love but what the FUCK is this! If anyone should do a cover of a band IT SHOULD BE THE JONAS BROTHERS DOING A COVER OF A SUBLIME SONG NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND FUCK

[xXxMartinixKissxXx]

I hate the Jonas Brothers but Rome made this song actually tolerable :) & the girls voice put a nice touch on it :)

Great Job :D

[erikekman111]

Sublime's shit is better then the fag jonas brothers

[LilGuilty702]

this guy is so good, he can make a jonas brothers song sound good

[NyakaNinja]

Ohkay honestly i didn't think this was gonna go very well but wholy crud it sonds nice(:

kudos to you!!!

[coallplant]

this is beautiful. i mean, the lyrics are not great, but waddya gonna do? its the jonas bros

[mcstereo]

wow, never thought i'd be able to tolerate a "jo-bros" song in any form...but this is chill as fuck.

[messedup133]

i like how this show takes all the songs i completely hate and make em so dope

[phalange1234]

the jonas brothers should be covering sublime. not the other way around. but then again .. maybe that would be a bad idea

[super00mmi]

WICKED song this kid is a bossss

[RoderickBePulling]

rome and kat killed it brahh no lie!

[MrShwah]

Maybe he is trying to prove that he can take a shit song and make it good...

[shaihuludxx]

why the fuck would they do this...rome got skill though and hes young as shit..its funny he was in pre school or something when sublime were at their peak ..id like to hear this dude play ebin or chica me tipo.

[stoopidjlc82]

music!

[stoopidjlc82]

@stoopidjlc82 rome, smile at the pretty girl!

[subimeyouthBJJ]

this is good even though its j bros

[blazeitup420d]

rome and kat are both incredible vocalists.

[Dominikovacs]

This is blasphemous.

[tiny2810]

haha stop hating, its all fun and games man. and yeah there is lots of bob marley but theyve been there and done that, along with 4345 other bands who think theyre unique.

[richardvest09]

they arent together, they are just names

[souultosqueeze]

the names "sublime" and "jonas brothers" should never be associated with eachother..

[fireshot808]

@souultosqueeze funny shit!

[phalange1234]

@souultosqueeze AMEN TO THAT

[heavyduty623]

@souultosqueeze the whole point of the raw session is to take pop songs play them acoustic and make them not suck .. rome covers a lot of songs that are normally awful and makes them good....

[Salster18]

@souultosqueeze lol i agree i love his style but i do not think they go w/ these disney songs

[Mzkr95]

@souultosqueeze LOL, I cant even begin to say how true that is. At least rome sings it WAY better...

[popularluser]

@souultosqueeze ur right bro but sublime the only band to ever make a jonas brothers song not sound gay so i give rome props

[wckedx]

@souultosqueeze totally agree.

[TheSindakit]

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

and here i was standing up for the guy........

Eric get out of there while you still can bro, ruuuuun, fuck man, Jonas Bros??

Wtf are u doin rome, theres like so many bob marley songs n shit, damn bro your fuckn up son whats goin on with you?????????

[tiny2810]

haha the original is actually not bad either! haha and im not a fan of jonas bros at all! but rome def. takes it to another level.

[lys705]

he has nice voice

[upscsb]

not at all

[mikeportnoyfan]

wow he makes the Jonas brothers seem some what decent

[upscsb]

dude rome is great cant yall just get over it. eric just happy he playing music have u seen him on anything no but rome is the shit so they hooked up to make good music i didnt even know the the j brother even sang this song rome will make it famous

[epulsoda]

hey...! i like your cover...! (from malaysia)

[GravityAgainstUsVids]

i don't think eric cares who it is its just music to him and thats all he cares about!

[Ribbetlicious]

that was pretty good. original was more mellow and better

[Sublemon7]

FUCk.THAT.SHIT!.

[OHxMYxKELx3]

ok that was good, but eric covering jonas.. fuck that shit.

[mattdelben]

this is a fucking embarrassment, no member of sublime should be put through this eric wilson should be treated like a god not treated like shit

[smileitsalex]

poor eric wilson goes from bradley to covering jonas brothers songs with a noob

[PhishMeister2002]

hmm i think i might have lost respect for rome.

[mericanboi]

JONAS BROTHERS? why?

by the way, i know they are great musicians, but when the chorus hit, Brad rolled over in his grave...cause it sucked hard.

[dustinkchristian]

wat the hell? i'm a true sublime fan from way back. this was kind of a blow to the stomach. surely they're not gonna let this guy be in sublime. hopefully they just jam together every once and a while.

[Rockstar7475]

seriously, im sure Eric did not want to do this shit at least bud wasnt there. cmon rome.

[niqito22]

you can hate jonas brothers, but you have to admit that are good musicians.

I like the cover, and the song is great, i like it.

Im not a fan of the jonas brothers, I am a musician.

[generousthieves]

idk care what anybody says......that was dope

[cowboysfan1215]

even rome like fuck this lol

[lauzon]

Romes the 4th Jonas Bro, not the newest sublime member. Boo

[gabeoi]

haaaaaaaah

[MrJerryw08]

Who is Kat?

[edwardslaffytaffy13]

Uhmm shee juss lik janked it up seriozlee shez juss der cuz hiz voice goes 2 lo? :/
