  • Man im so Drunk but this is amazing.!

  • They went to Point Loma High School, same school I go to :)

  • <---

  • Dude, i went to High School in San Diego with Miles & Kyle, used to pass out fliers for them and sell shirts and demo tapes, yes i said tapes, LoL

  • @grdnfn76 lucky, do you still talk to them?

  • its not a sublime song retard ss wrote it sublime covered it... kill your self

    

  • its not a sublime song retard ss wrote it sublime covered it... kill your self

  • Of course Sublime did it way better, they made it into a recorded track. But I don't think S.S. are looking to do a great Sublime song better than they did. It's like singing your favorite band songs...everyone does it. It shows honor to the great dub music of the early 90s..good version SS. I'm glad I was there in person to watch.

  • @GoUSA911 slightly stoopid had a recorded track too

  • sublime did it WAY better

  • I can't believe 9 people dislike this, they must hate life.

  • bradley kills this shit but u gotta love the origanators of it slightly you rock.

  • BUZZ FUZZ SICK NAME LOL

  • Listen to SOULMOBILIN if u like this song

  • I am not sure that I want to know anyone who does not like Slightly Stoopid, I certainly do not want to know anyone who does not like/love SUBLIME....and that's different than SUBLIME w/Rome...dont get it twisted. If ever given an opertunity ask Kyle how the name "SLIGHTLY STOOPID" came about...it will clear up all this who wrote what shit...can we promote the sound??? and leave it at that.

  • @ironlion925 lol thats what the whole arguement was about.

  • this song was actually made by slightly stoopid..they were discovered by brad nowell from sublime when they were still in highschool in 1995. They recorded this song after they got signed to skunk records. Brad Nowell did a guest apperance in this song and released it on their box set 'everything under the sun' So actually....brad nowell and sublime covered it. Slightly stoopid has no intentions of being like sublime..they just make the same type of music.

  • This is so awesome. I hope they play it when I see them next month.

  • este cover esta genial.

    pero m quedo toda la vida con el d sublime!

    This cover is great but I'll take a lifetime to the Sublime

  • she said to me...

  • what year was this?

  • I just think he could have tried harder to actually sound like sublime!

  • @nikkilyn54 true bradly made this song killer but slightly stoopide wrote this song for them

  • @nikkilyn54 why would he want to sound like sublime? They have never tried to be sublime in any way and they would be lame to try and be like sublime. But thats the thing, they are themselves and their own sound and thats what makes these guys incredible

  • slightly stoopid im sorry but ripped sublime right out of the stone love reggae style ok and pepper because sublime doesnt compare but rip bradley noel

  • There's no point in hating. Bradley got Slightly Stoopid signed to Skunk (same label Sublime was under) Sublime covered this song because they thought it was great, which it is. I love Sublime and am happy that they paved the way for such bands as Slightly Stoopid and Pepper. Mad love and respect. ~Skye

  • Pretty dang good!

  • Fuck yeah luchit.

    Fuck haters.

  • It's respect! =)

  • this songs fun to play

  • This is my favorite band they know how to put a show on and the do keep it real!!

  • Lunchit i completely agree! obviously there not sublime but back in the day bradley himself thought these guys were bad mothers and signed them to skunk records. so if you talk shit about slightly stoopid your downing brad's ideals on music and what life is about. This song prophet was orginally slightly stoopid's song, brad bud and eric of sublime covered it and added a few touches of their own. you gotta give it up to slightly stoopid, there musical genius, and brad saw that too.

  • @petermg1 good shit man, fuck all these hatin' people who dont even know real music.

  • wow. Brad is wayyy better.

  • REMEMBER this song was written by stoopid! Nowell sang guest vocals on it then coverd it with sublime. keep on yo high

  • thought this was a Marley song?

  • @SkaFace92 this guy knows his shit lol i learned something new today

  • i consider this song a tribute to brad so i love both versions

  • then go listen to their song and shut the fuck up. this is slightly stoopid not sublime

  • decent but sublimes version is better

  • I remember this show. Just cant top it.

  • Beautiful. Miles' voice is amazing.

  • wtf ?

  • Anyone notice the first verse sounds a little like the Tim Hardin Song "If I Were A Carpenter" which has been recorded by many artists including Bobby Darin, Johnny Cash & June Carter! Bradley's version is different from SS's and all three songs are great - compare - youtube search "If I Were A Carpenter" by either Tim Hardin or Bobby Darrin. I love it! - "Gonna take everything she's got to offer and keep it for myself" is such a great original lyric!

  • Comment removed

  • Both versions are amazing and you can really feel the music.

  • These cats were jammin with Sublime when they were all in high school..righteous

  • "high" school

  • really?

  • @Sublimenate94

    Bradley Nowell actually played bass for this song on Slightly Stoopid's original album.

  • He sings very well.. But this version doesn't really appeal to me.

  • i give it to slightly stoopid....they rock this tune. i dont care who wrote it.

    bradley gave it soul

  • Comment removed

  • Slightly did this first in fact Miles' (lead singer) Mom invited bradley to his house one day and miles showed brad this song and brad asked to play bass on it and thats how it all started

  • Yo dude where did you read that, it's not that I don't believe you, I just want to read more about Slightly Stoopid and sublimes history

  • where did you read that

  • Say ace there is a little more to the story than that but what you have said is basically right. Miles Mom (Laurie) is my wife. The story of how Bradly and "slightly stoopid" met is an interesting one I'm surprised that it is not told more often.BTW do I know you?

  • so that would make you mile's dad?

  • Or step-dad.

  • is this going to be played at the Blazed and Confused Show in ATL?

  • are you expecting slightly stoopid themselves to answer this? they would be the only people who really know lol

  • played it at BnC in Philly.

  • I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!

  • dose it really matter whos song it was its and awsome song both ways just enojy it damn

  • why can't you all just LOVE THE FUCKING MUSIC, it loves you for it found YOU! YOU fucking people are SLIGHTLY STOOPID. cut it out. Brad would want it that way. thank you. Jah Bless. one love.

  • Ain't No Prophet is a cover of Prophet by Slightly Stoopid but slightly changed, interpretted by Bradley. It's how he felt the song in him so he changed it a bit, like all artists do who do covers. They put their own touch to it. I don't know where this guy is gettin the Ziggens from.

  • this song was slightly stoopids song brad liked it so much that he started playing it get you're facts str8t look it up for youreself

  • i dont think so dude, you need to look it up again

  • john042o, i aint no prophet was on the 1998 bums lie psycho semantic police cd which released the unreleased material from sublime, and some of their best stuff. this is brads original song. get your facts straight one love

  • There were 1000 copies of that album created and distributed via Groovy Greg A.

  • he's not trying to sound like brad, he's got his own style, both extremely talented. slightly stoopid represents everything sublime did in their day, anyone agree? r.i.p Bradley Nowell we all miss ya

  • i agree....i think they would would all burn one down together and jam....so stop all the hate and let the lovin take ahold

  • its just something about brads voice that i love so much

  • sublime is a little better but both are good

  • Bradley Nowell Signed SS anyways so whether they covered the song or not it doesnt matter and when you go to a "genre" your bound to have similar sounding songs but atleast SS will change it up every now and then.

  • NO It doesnt matter who did it!!! Thats Miles and if you ask him yourself he will tell you that SS owes everything to Sublime...This band has 8 cd's and dvd and have been on the road for 15 years...

  • It dosent matter who wrote it, it's a good song. Sublimes version was incomplete, and not as well done as Slightly's. Either way, its a great song, and they both did a good job!

  • Sublime did it first. and better

  • no...sublime deffinatly covered it. but i like both versions

  • Sublime was before Slightly Stoopid.....

  • no no no it was defiantly neither of these bands it was defiantly 2 pac who did this song first

  • lol .

    tupac .

    defiantley .

  • Yea....it was somebody else, then slightly stoopid then sublime.

  • i dont get why everyone compares them all the time. they both are sick. just calm down and listen to the music.

  • kinda reminds u of brad huh .. ;]

  • i think they wrote it together, but the song is very similar to Pool Shark by Sublime

  • S S wrote it but i think Bradley plays it better.

    just me.

  • who really fn cares all is good music

  • heres a little fact. bradley nowell was friends with the lead singner and signed them to skunk a.k.a sublimes label before he died. so there not followers or any shit like that.

  • wasnt sublime signed to gasoline alley?

  • no... skunk records yo.

  • they were on Skunk's label (indy) before the signed on w/ Gasoline (major label). Brad and Miguel founded Skunk Records in 1990. Sublime signed on to Gasoline records in 1994.

  • Cool....

  • Whoevers says that Slightly Stoopid isnt Sublime, good, now shut the fuck up and leave. We all know Sublime is legendary, they're the shit. But don't hack on Slightly Stoopid because these guys keep it real, have a loyal fans and make kick ass music. That's what Sublime did. Reggae music, acoustic music, punk music. These guys are Sublime's descendants and are definitely worth every listen.

  • too true

  • @luchnit FUCKIN' RIGHT DUDE !

  • @luchnit EXACTLY!

  • @luchnit Plus Brad signed for them. If Brad thought they were good enough, So do I.

  • @luchnit they were actualy created around the same time and knew each other

  • @luchnit Good shit yo

  • @luchnit

    word up, i must admit though there's a little too many bands trying to do exactly what sublime did, but these dudes are legit and do keep it real, they have their own steez and as much as i love him, bradley couldn't really compare to these cats when it comes to guitar skills... but maybe it's just cause he was always strung out on heroin haha

  • @chronicconja420 dude bradley managed them until he died and knew all of them well, they arent copying him, hes more like a mentor to them

  • @seanoreilly111

    i know this was a while ago dude, but i just want to clear things up.... if you read what i said to luchnit again, you might realize that i was giving them props. way better guitarists than bradley too. I love sublime and i love stoopid, i don't want that to be misunderstood.

  • @luchnit Thank you!!!! I couldn't have said it better myself.  I don't think they have one bad song.

  • @luchnit

    Amen to that dude. Sublime COVERED this song, meaning they had a decent respect for them, I doubt Brad was ever like "Man these guys are totally not as good as us"

    He was probably; "Man this is good fucking music."

    We should be the same, no?

  • Comment removed

  • I like this song alot. Listened to it 13 times in a row

  • yea this does remind me Bradley

  • this is heavily bradley nowell-esk(rip)

  • that's because this is an unreleased sublime song. you can find a demo of the song as played by sublime on the intertubes.

  • Actually it is a song the Miles wrote and Brad tried to do a recorded version of. Miles has two verses and Brad only has one.  Brad also brings it into a Bobby Darrin style (also done a duet w/Johnny Cash & June Carter Cash) but Miles performances it the way it was originally written (by him)

  • I really respect Slightly Stoopid, but of course they are no sublime. Sublime is to legendary to replicate.

  • i don't think slightly stoopid is trying to be sublime

  • whether Stoopid's trying to be like them or the two bands are in the same ball park if not league (genres)..hence the reason they sound so similar

  • actually Sublime did the cover.

  • thats the last thing slightly stoopid's trying to do. yeah bradley's version kicks the shit out of this, but they used to jam together all the time so they have every right to perform this song in bradley's memory

  • yeah i heard the sublime version of this song...out of the set box "everything under the sun". brads voice was amazing in their version...i like slightly stoopid's shit too...although they dont have the same vibe as sublime...they have another feel to offer, but i dont think their goal is to be another follow up to sublime...they have their own shit that sounds great...i respect them unlike other people. i like that easy vibe shit... i dont care who makes the music...

  • i agree

  • I remember this was the bonus song on the 1st cd, can't believe it's been over 10 years since I first listened to stoopid, thanks for the vid

  • thanks for the memories. this song takes me back to a time where sublime and stoopid meant the world to me. again thanks much love !!!!

  • Lol Miles never wrote this song loser. This song has beem whored over to singers as bad as RE4 has been to systems. Sublime sang this song as far back as 1993 and many others singers before them redhueod. Very good version of the song though.

  • ss2vash is correct. this song was written by the famous bradley nowell, but this is just as good. :)

  • My wife,Laurie,Miles mom.Believes he was 18 as near as she can remember when he wrote "Prophet". We still have the envelope with the first copy signed and dated by Miles an then Laurie did the DIY copywrite thing and mailed it to herself.I will locate it and get back with the exact date if anyone is interested.

  • i am :)

  • or, its ok, i believe you ;)

  • miles was doing hella good on this song thats for sure

  • Originally by Tim Hardin. Theres a really good version by Robert Plant. And of course my favorite version is John Holts wich was most likley the inspiration for Sublime's and Slightly Stoopid's covers.

  • This is an old song it has been done by reggae artist and american artist.

  • this is slightly stoopid's song. on the closer to the sun box set, it says miles doughty and kyle mcdonald are the song writers, its funny though, the 1st time i heard this song it was a sublime recording, i heard the ss version years later on their acoustic album, the lyrics are different when brad sings it though, both musicians are legends. peace

  • bradley wrote this song, stoopid later covered it

    as bradley died in 96

  • the song is on slightly stoopid's self titled cd that came out in 96. miles is singing and playing guitar and brad is playing bass. pretty sure he had something to do with it but it was first a slightly stoopid song. the sublime version is on the pure anus and psycho semantic police bootlegs.

  • see this is not what we need...people comparing stoopid and sublime....we all know sublime and stoopid are good who cares who wrote it... both versions are good.

  • i dont know who did it first but its semi covered from the johnny cash song."if i were a carpenter"

  • wait.... help me out...

    Is this sublime's song? or slightly stoopid's? Brad did so many covers it's hard to keep track :)

  • its a slightly stoopid song, i hear brad did help out with it and some will say this is sublimes song but being a huge fan of both i have yet to hear it by sublime, so to me thats convincing enough to says its by SS

  • Brad did help. Sublime does a cover, too. It's on Everything Under the Sun

  • kind of reminds me of the sublime capital ballroom recording

  • great song

    this is a slightly stoopid song that brad played bass on and recorded it with stoopid on their first album. If they recorded it together they may have written it together. From what i heard in an interview miles wrote it. Sublime covered alot of songs. They didn't write smoke two joints or we're only going to die so its possible sublime covered it. who cares though badass song and brad had something to do with it so its legit.

  • i dunno whats skunk but this is not if i was a carpenter (wich is of john holt originally as far as i know)

  • skunk records!!?? DUH!

  • ska + punk = Skunk

    thus skunk records

  • could also be called spunk i guess : )

  • ahah, I guess you cloud call it spunk if u feel like spunking but I never heard someone calling the ska-punk mix spunk. Anyway one type of marijuana s called skunk, + the stinking animal. skunk

  • nah dude, skunk is good weed. cause that dank shit kinda smells like a skunk. that's where the name came from.

  • ha it was made back in the 50s retards. if i was a carpenter.

  • this song was done stoopid... sublime just covered it

  • sublime signed stoopid into their record label.

    its the other way around

  • this is not from acoustic roots. stoopid did not write this. brad took miles and kyle under his wing when he established skunk and miles will not release their jams out of respect for brad. we are lead to believe this was written during that time, but are pretty sure brad wrote it. either way, awesome song

  • Bradley did not establish Skunk, Mike Hapold a.k.a. flash or Miguel did. May Bradley rest in peace. You are right about Bradley taking them under his wing, and not releasing jams out of respect. Peace!

  • This is a Bob Marley song. Take that to the bank!

  • bradly and happoldt made skunk records

  • You sir are correct. Mike is from my hometown, and I have met him several times. I am friends with Miles,Kyle,O.G.,Rymo, C-Money, and all of Stoopids friends, including you, we just haven't met yet. I saw O.G. and C-Money perform last night, with Smally and Skart from Supervillains, badass.

  • Hard to say who wrote it, kinda think it was Brad, but doesn't sound like his style, its on the new box set though, and he says at the end, this song needs to be rethought out. I don't know, I was just listening to Brad sing it so I looked for this video. I do know this, Sublime is tattooed on my back and on many others, have yet to see Slightly Stoopid on someones back.

  • sublime did thus song

  • really great band, I recommend there new album also!!

    and this song is from the album

    Acoustic Roots

  • just stfu with copying and all that bull their a band and they have written good music and obviously their goin to sound like sublime and be like them cause they used to chill together

  • This song is on sublimes box set.

  • what disk

  • Disc 2
