  • how many of u rome haters out there have actually seen rome live probably not many. yeah hes not rad but at least hes carrying on the name. how many bands have replaced members. alot. members die, bands shouldnt. and at least he give props to brad, and thanks him him its not like he takes credit for the name and songs. bud and eric are members too and if they think rome is cool in the band it should be fine. real fans wouldnt care.

  • Comment removed

  • check out the mainstreet dubsacks and lets keep this music alive!!! r.i.p. brad

  • I miss Brad, but Rome is fucking identical. I love it.

  • @xXrobisonXx amen brother

  • I know that no one can replace brad. but honestly, i would rather sublime w/ rome just be called sublime. but thats jus my opinion :)

  • @DanteDevil2727 I agree but all of Brad's dick riders would never allow that. I love brad just as much as the next guy, but give Rome a break. He's a great musician

  • The haters make the rate bar look like a joint

  • for all you Rome haters.the only reason its Sublime WITH Rome is cause of a legal issue in Sublime's contract. when Bradley died and Rome joined, that conflicted with the contract. Honestly, i Think Roman keeps Bradley's legend alive. he sounds almost exactly like him. Same with the guitar. Put yourself in Bud and Eric's position. dont you think they know how successful Sublime is? its only plausible to do anything in your power to keep that alive. and if thats considered selling out then fuckit

  • @cheesecakerice yo cheesecake , never would i think someone would try to say anyone can sing exactly like brad

  • @NTSdrums....you must have no clue what a band is....it would be a different thing if they took the name "Bradley Nowell's SUBLIME"... a band is a band...equal parts...

  • overrated?...obviously ur not a sublime fan. ur a sublime with rome fan. who only do sublime covers. and yes it is considered a cover because its a sublime song. not a sublime with rome song. lets see them sing original shit and see if their concerts get sold out without singing a sublime song. fuck off kid. u dont know what ur talkin about.

  • To those hating on SWR, thats not what the Sublime vibe was ever about- Bradley loved dope music and I am positive he's happy in heaven right now seeing the impact that he left not only on an entire generation of people, but the music as it is today. SWR will never replace Sublime with Bradley, that is undeniable, Bradley's heart and soul that he poured into his music is impossible to emulate, but its nice to see the Sublime stylee back in swing.

    RIP Bradley, one heart one love <3

  • @86corduroy

    thank you not every one is a dumb ass

  • rome looks like he has baby lungs

  • Rome always pays mad respect to Brad and his family bottom line.

  • Looks like a moron.

  • seriously I've got like everything brad eric and bud ever recorded and i haven't listened to any of it in like a year. now thanks to rome, eric and bud I feel like i'm ridin the wave again!!!!

  • fuck this kid! R I P Brad!!!

  • i saw them live in vegas, and it was a killer show. rome knows hes not bradley, but for all the haters, its the closest thing youll ever get. so shut the fuck up and enjoy some live music already, cause your never gonna see sublime with bradley.

  • rome got some flow, hes pretty cool

  • rome does have a soul! this is the best performance i have yet to see from him. live on sublime!

  • tight! going to see them at red rocks

  • this shit killed my high

  • @metalfan1367 I hear you out man.

  • Everyone needs to stop this shit about him not being as good as brad or "he'll never be brad" or whatever.... He's not trying to be brad he's trying to make great music with great musicians so just chill and light one up... thats what brad would want us to do right?

  • "Some folks say that smokin' herb is a crime" That was the first line of the show in Philly. Immediately, clouds of burnin' ganja filled the room. they put on a fucking amazing show.

  • Rome is a GREAT frontman, after seeing him on friday with the band just smoking onstage and jamming it really made me change my mind.  BUT he will never be Bradley. Nobody can. But im sincerely glad they found such a good singer

  • sublime with rome isnt bad but it will never ever in a millon years be as good as it was with bradley but i still like how their still out there rockin sublime song and romes not that bad he is a pretty good singer........R.I.P. Bradley and lou dog you will live on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • its sort of cold outside

  • lol @ the guy taking a picture of the video camera at 2:06

  • Don't get me wrong. Rome is great, and I'm super excited that their back together, and I intend to hit EVERY show I can. But NTSdrums, you better hope to GOD no one finds out who you are. I'll personally FACK you up for talking shet on Bradley. He's was the greatest thing to happen to ska since Bob himself, and this is the greatest news I could hope for aside from Bradley raising from the dead and taking back the band himself.

  • @CNGboyevil fuck ya brother!

  • Rome has a reallly good I like him but He just doesnt sing with that emotion that Brad had, cant wait till ya'll play in Denver next month...so exited

  • NTSdrums FUCK OFF SAYING WHAT BRADLY DID FOR ROCK IS OVERATED IS LIKE SAYING THE YANKEES DONT BUY PLAYERS ITS BS AND MOST OFF THEY SONGS ARNT COVERS FUCK OFF KID

  • @thomasakabob i love brad nowell hes one of my greatest inspirations but he stole more than half of his songs

  • @mrzach5789 There's a difference between stealing and sampling. Stealing would be a carbon copy, sampling makes the song into something entirely different.

  • @mrzach5789 Didn't steal. Covered.

  • @mrzach5789

    Stole? He barely covered the songs. He would take a song, use part of the chorus, add his own lyrics then make his own rhythm that was completely different.

    none the less he did that a lot it seemed,caress me down,what i got, ballnchain, scarlet begonias...just to name a few

  • @mikek21216 i love my dog, greatest hits, and freeway time in la jail just to name a few more borrowed melodies. falling idols was a stylish cover as well.

  • i'm not tryin to hate but i don't like this whole sublime with rome thing. The whole energy is just completely different, i went to a show at the casino and it's just like selling out and abusing such beatiful and creative music. They push the same 10 songs that everyone knows down the throats of impressionable kids who listen to the radio in their spare time.

  • @thomasakabob i dont understand why people dont understand that bands grow, what they're talent is suppose to just go to waste cause brad passed away? i totally agree dude people are dickheads

  • @NTSdrums dumbass^^^^

  • STFU Dique Anis

  • @NTSdrums wow....really? i honestly dont even have words to express how ignorant and offensive your comment is....

  • @NTSdrums is a piece of shit. you should kill yourself you fucking moron.

  • @NTSdrums brad being a struggling drug addict and dying from an overdose does not justify your poor choose of words concerning the bands importance to him.now if he committed suicide, you could possibly have an argument there. considering brad wrote all of the music and lyrics to his own songs, i disagree that bud and eric deserve the rights to the name. granted, bud and erics contribution to the band was extraordinary, i dont think they should use the name sublime in any new band they form.

  • I just read something that pissed me off. Bradley did not want any other band to use the name Sublime without his being a part of or consent of said project. He went so far as to register the SUBLIME trademark under his name. So my question is why does Eric and bud still use the name Sublime? Wouldn't they want the legend of Bradley Nowell and Sublime to be forever protected? I uderstand they all a hand it the creation of the band but its the emotion in those lyrics that MADE Sublime.

  • @alerabnhoj

    bradley didnt know he was going to die , he just wanted to keep it in case they broke up or something , and i personally believe he would love to keep it alive. besides you are just thinking about 1-3 of the band.

  • tis called 'Sublime with Rome' now. apparently its different

  • But the name 'Sublime' is forever done

  • i'm sure he would be ok with this.

    tbh i'm ok with them doing this but i don't want them to produce new music, because if they did and it sucked it would kind of ruin the legacy that was sublime...

  • THAT is exactly my point!!!

  • @xentech look up the song panic

  • @xentech i totally agree.. but they are making new music, i they are working on an album to release in 2011 and they already have a new song released that they are performing on this tour, it's called "Panic"...i dunno about it yet...

  • @alerabnhoj the band name isn't "sublime". it's "sublime with rome". legal loophole and it's been approved by the courts...besides i think brad TM it in case the band broke up for some reason, not in case HE himself died. besides with the way things played out, i think brad would be ok with this, i think he'd want his fans to get as close to his music for as long as they can.....and it's not like eric and bud rushed into this decsion, it's been 14 years....

  • Ahhh its not bradley but he's good. Ive had the chance of meeting Eric at Chapman University when he was playing for Long Beach Dub All Starz after Bradley died (R.I.P.) He dosent look like he's having much fun here. Almost like he thinkin' "oh man, I'm such a fucking poser"

  • Ive got goose bumps listening to rome.he is a great singer,but he could never take the place of brad.RIP.

  • Why's everyone hating on VaperBroz? It is true that Brad said he didn't want Sublime to go on without him. And before Sublime started getting a little recognition they had a drummer named Kelly Vargas while Bud was absent and he kicked Kelly out because he said he felt that Sublime should really just be Eric, Bud and himself. Brad even put the trademark Sublime under his own name because he didn't want Sublime to go on if it didn't include him, Bud or Eric. Which is why they are now SublimewRome

  • im in...when are they coming to jones beach??

  • Comment removed

  • Look up YouTube ch( UMfan )best sublime smokeout vid on YouTube

  • im for and against this but i love their music and what they stand for,,,, soo idk how or where to stand but to just keep enjoyn the BAD ASS FUCKN MUSIC SUBLIME originally created!!!! i mean u cant have ALICE IN CHAINS either without LAYNE STALEY...well...looks like theyr doin tours too

  • with bud and eric, calling it sublime is ok. this kid does justice to bradley's voice and style. if you notice, he even throws in the little things you hear bradley do on the live albums and alternate versions of the different songs. hes a good tribute and i think its fine that hes part of a reunited sublime. BUT he DOES NOT have the genius of bradley and thus can never put out a new album and call it a sublime album, even though id be interested enough to pick it up under a different name.

  • for all you guys sucking Romes dick. I just want to make it clear that Eric Wilson HIMSELF said on a bootleg interview that Brad ONCE SAID "if anything were to ever happen, dont let Sublime to go on"

    Rome needs to start his own cover band. They never replaced Lennon, or Elvis......

  • what do u have against rome hes just playing music hes not trying to replace bradly no 1 could replace bradly and eric and bud can still play music even though brad is dead y wouldnt they... and they legally cant call their band sublime

  • @VaperBroz I seriously don't think he said that.. A bootleg interview?? how can you believe that?? I seriously doupt the band would disrespect him in letting the band go on if he didn't want that to happen

  • @VaperBroz well thats because the beatles were already broken up and elvis was a solo act.... dumbass

  • good job missing the point

  • what the hell he's emotionless that sounds dumb what do you want him to do cry every time he sings?

  • I think this dude sounds great :)

  • Rome kicks ass and this is coming from someone who used to watch Brad play shows. The music is what is about and when you hear some of Romes original shit you will understand why this was his destiny. I am stoaked for Sublime to find someone who was worthy. SUBLIME LIVES!

  • Why would budd and eric continue on with the name sublime when just after brad died they said the name was to be no more!

  • it'll never be the same without bradley nowell.

    rome is very talented but it just breaks my heart to see someone else taking over; i tried to get used to it but i just can't.

  • You have to remember that Sublime never made music for money they did it for their love for music.

  • this is not sublime this is fucking gay this can never come close to sublime i was raised with sublime the first song i sang along to was my ruca so i would know that this shit can not ever replace sublime bradley made sublime it should of died with him this is so fucking gay

  • haterz suck! He is very talented and If you really think that Bradley would disapprove, your a nut. Bud and Eric would have never allowed something like this if they thought for a second it would go against bradley's wishes. Lets not forget the fact that Bradley's wife and son also agreed to this and his wife is very anal about anything Sublime being used without her permission since she owns all the rights to Sublimes stuff now.

  • actually the family didnt approve to it by t he way...

  • you are a fuckin twat! u think brad would have thought without him thats it?? no more sublime?? it was about sharin the music and love for him, dont be such a prick!! he'd b glad his music is getting out there again! yes its weird with rome but fuck it, its good to hear some fucking sublime again!!!!

  • dam i hope they come near me that would b some sick shit rome sounds fukin sick

  • this kid is emotionless compared to good ole brad

  • Rome is too damn stiff on the guitar

  • that was such a good set

    i'm glad i got to smoke through the entire concert

  • the new sublime

    duncansful

  • this is sublime! they sound fucken dope ...

  • fuck man its about the music its not like it is a whole new line up you have original members of the band let em play

    i would rather see these guys with a new singer than a cover band

  • this guy is pretty good

    who the fuck cares.

    let them call the band sublime

  • It doesn't have that unseen amount of energy that Brad brought to the music. Or that half-drunken, high guitar and improvised lyrics. Everything that made Sublime so special to me is missing now

  • This kid is the best replacement for a dead singer I've ever seen. He's a dead ringer.

    Scroll down during the song, and listen to it without the video. It's absurd how similar this dude sounds.

    As for calling it sublime... Bad call.

  • I was just doing the same thing, he sounds exactly like Brad, and I am a huge fan, of Brad, so ihe can never be replaced , but this dude is the closest you will ever get to an original Sublime Sound again!!!, Awsome stuff

  • eric looks so sad

  • if you've ever seen him perform, thats how he always is.

  • This sucks, it's not the same, and they better not be calling it sublime, Brads Baby's Mama said HELLLL NO, so they won't be calling it SUBLIME anymore.... and thats important! It would be like Nirvana reuniting, or the Jimi Hendrix Experience reuiting without Jimmi, or the Doors without Morrison, thats all just as propsterous as Sublime without Brad. It would have made a lot more sense to call it Long Beach Dub All Stars, and bring all those people from LBDA and Rome (who I don't like).

  • hes better then i thought he would be, maybe the new album has promise,

    he sounds alot vocally like brad,

    lets just hope he doesnt do heroin

  • I like this dude. It ain't Brad but hey you ain't gonna get him this day and age. Haha he reminds me of this slightly flambouant gay dude at my school. Awesome!

  • but they went to court. when someone dies a contract is null and void. so therefore since brad passed (r.i.p) bud and eric can re-patent the name. it was ruled legal in court. dont hate on rome. he is a cool guy. met him at smokeout. great voice. no he is not brad. noone can be. bud and eric are just as much of sublime as brad and if they like rome. then respect it. if you like sublime. like rome

  • PREECH

  • blaze it

  • don't talk no shit haters.

    they call themself sublime.

    I was there high,they were definitely sublime.

  • not bad at all.

  • maaaan look at erics face hella sad

  • watch some videos, his face is the same old I don't give a fuck face.... not different. Bitch

  • People listen up! Rome is not replacing Brad, he's keeping him alive! Rome loves Brad and that's why he's singing his songs. Right now Brads so happy that people continue to sing his songs. We love you Brad and will always miss you. Thank you so much Rome, Eric, Bud, and all else who helped keep Sublime alive!! You got a great voice Rome!! Now come do some concerts in the U.S. so we can show Brad our love for him too!!

    R.I.P. Brad Nowell and Lou Dog

    Keep it up all you loyal fans!!

  • @Onelove4Sublime good point but it was Brad, Eric, and Bud's band not Rome, Eric, and Bud's band. When brad died so did Sublime.

  • @Onelove4Sublime thats the truth right there!!!! good way to explain...fuck all the shit talkers

  • Brad's band was called Sublime, thats why he was "Lead", Rome's band wasn't called Sublime.

  • What's the difference between SUBLIME and a DEAD COW? You can't milk a dead cow.

  • oh shut the fuck up you stupid nutswinging douchebag, get the fuck over it and enjoy the music.

  • wtf this guy is fucking great! sounds JUST like Brad

  • I DONT CARE WHAT ANYBODY THINKS this guy sounds exacly like him in a way look at ac/dc the singer died and there badass still

  • hell nah. what are you smoking, bon scott WAS ac/dc.

  • Looks like a judge just ruled in favor of the Nowell Estate for now. Eric, Bud and Rome will have to think up a new name and I say good riddance. Can't wait to see them playing together again, but I wasn't a fan of re-using the name.

  • Yeah, the key to getting rid of this hate in here is to light up a "J"....

  • I saw sublime in a garage years ago and this guy brings back the funk in a way that represents and respects Bradley. That's all that matters and I think Bradley is smiling down on everyone now that he's back!!!!

  • you go die

  • This will only last until they start creating new songs. Lets see what happens when they stop doing covers!

  • Comment removed

  • Well if they are that fucken great why don't the start a band with a different name?

  • what ever idiot, they played a new song, and the crowd loved it, go back and listen to the show or STFU, when you obviously have NO CLUE what you are talking about.

  • Well if they have new songs and the "crowd" loved it why take advantage of the name SUBLIME? Why not start a new band?

  • cause A. its been done B. Its Erics and Buds band not some wife of 7 days.  C. how can you deny the happiness and love this crowd felt, the energy was amazing, it was a healing experience for all involved, and since it was all of these things why not let the guys who came up with the name in the first place do their job of spreading positivity through music and bring people together instead of apart... this planet needs love like this, and who is anyone to deny it?

  • with brad, sublime was just punk as shit. still rippin though

  • see, this is a cool, catchy reggae tune as it is performed here.....BUT, and no hate on rome or wat not or any of that garbage BUT.....i feel like he's missing that criminal aspect u know? like, bud, eric and brad were straight THUGS...thats why they were so tight with the people they sampled or were inspired by cause they were nitty gritty G's....i dont know if rome can "let one slip" into nobody.....if that makes sense?

  • i waz tHeRe! big b,pennywise,cheech n chong,sublime,cypress hill,deftones and SLIPKNOT!!!

  • I can't wait for you guys to come to Cleveland!!

  • Ha Ha no shit me too :)

  • the shit ..... all day ! hell of a cover ...

  • all I can say is Rome is one fucking lucky kid

  • Foolish Fool is a pretty straight cover of a Warwick song.

    Get Ready is a "cover" of a Frankie Paul song.

  • WOULD U AGREE OR NOT THAT THESE ARE TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT SONGS? ps good info you posted...

  • Comment removed

  • Two different songs for sure. Brad just seemed to like to "borrow" lyrics and Eric liked to "borrow" bass lines from old songs.

  • This guy is awesome. They couldn't have found a better front man for the new Sublime.

  • they should have jacob sing for

  • Great Job ROME, i'm a huge brasilian fan of SUBLIME. u got it man... keeep going

  • I was hoping they'd play 40oz to freedom.

  • for this being there first big show in like 13 years with a new singer they were fcking amazing. Havent had so much fun at a concert since seeing Wutang and Rage on the same day 2 years ago @ rock the bells.

  • i was there too!!! wutang had too many ppl on stage but redman was still killin! and rage, well they always hard as hell

  • He does good in some songs, but to be completely honest.. it's just not the same.. i mean i like the guy, he's cool and sounds similar but it's just not the same as Brad's presence and amazing voice. We all love sublime, but I think Sublime Died with Brad unfortunately. You just can't replace the sound of the entire band w/brad, they gave off the vibe that no other band did before. I give the whole band (including rome) complete respect for doing a reunion show in brad's memory. good job tho.

  • Go watch a cover band, i'll stick to seeing the original members

  • and this foo simply has no flava...no style...even if it wasn brads style i would like it better....he just a guy playin covers and not bringing anything original

  • they played an original song dumbass... were you even there?

  • ok so yes this kid isnt bad, hes got a decent voice, didnt butcher the songs but come on hes way too clean and is playing it like the studio version. live sublime was all about the randomness and improvising. sounds like they're just going through the motions

  • agreed for sure no one will do it like brad did it

  • he sounds good but looks like a bitch

  • I was in the pit. I loved it. So much.

  • im happy witt their performance n evrythingg,but i thinkk they shoulda playd more songz

  • awesome show....

  • nah i was there for that song

    that song is actually called Get Ready from the album Sublime, but they did play Dont Push at one point, and i was blazing in between smoke two joints and lets go get stoned.

  • I have awaken from my stupor and regained control of my You tube. She diserved the tounge lashing you gave her.

    Yes its get ready from the sublime album track 14

  • and in Brad's earlier version it was called Foolish Fool hahahahah

  • Dude i hope you don't call yourself a true Sublime fan because a true Sublime fan would know that this song was never called Foolish Fool. They used the words Crazy Fool in this song but there is a song that was originally called Crazy Fool and they changed the named to Foolish Fool. & it sounds nothing like this song .Sublime used some of the same words/phases in alot of different songs.

    NO One will ever replace Brad but Bud, Eric ,& Rome are Kicking Ass at Keeping Sublime Alive"

  • fo sho man... educate these kids

  • Hey dont be hate'n. And I am a huge Sublime fan just to let you know. Dont mezmerise song names cause there are a lot out there. And if you have listened to everything under the sun or contact the buzz live at the house of blues, well there is foolish fool. Both very early recordings of get ready. Bass, drums and guitar almost the exact same. Brad just realized the lyrics were weak so he re-wrote the whole song and kept the crazy fool part. Give all three songs a listen and you'll agree

  • I been jammin SUBLIME for 10 years at the least! So This SIMPLE OVERSIGHT! lets see GET READY is on STUDIO ALBUM SELF TITLED SUBLIME. Get ready isnt even on Everything under the sun. FOOLISH FOOL IS, which is ORIGINALLY NAMED CRAZY FOOL ON EVERY SUBLIME ALBUM FOREVER. untill the box set of RARITES, EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN This is 1st st time any sublime song was called FOOLISH FOOL which is same exact song as CRAZY FOOL!

  • contd-

  • (unless of course it was studio recorded, or played live at shows, where brad was freestylin on the song, hammered, or just simpley forgot a few lyrics. THATS WHAT MADE SUBLIME SO GREAT! ) i have house of blues, dvd & cd. i have contact buzz on cd as well. and may more rare og's. & i think you call crazy fool get ready or your calling track 3 on house of blues foolish fool when its clearly GET READY.

  • Dude chill, I get it your die hard. I think we are in agreeance that get ready and foolish/crazy fool is the same song, little different lyrics in some versions, named differently on the actual album covers. And i know why Sublime is great, contact the buzz "this ones called caress me down, aint got any lyrics so Im gonna fuckn fake it" and also Brad changed songs all the time because he loved to do things his way. Stop worrying about the technical and just let the lovin take a hold over you!

  • well put
