I love Sublime.........I like the way they mixed rock/punk/ska all together to come up with their sound.
40 0z to Freedom was a masterpiece...........Robbin' the Hood was pretty swell.......and Sublime (the album) was just awesome.
The only thing that bugs me is the way they have released probably the same amount of "greatest hits" albums since Bradley died as they released albums when the band was together. That is quite ridiculous.
Well, I dare say he got what he deserved. Heroin is a nasty drug, and it has claimed the lives of too many wonderful musicians, but I guess nobody will ever learn. HOWEVER, it is is still a tragedy that it had to happen to such a great person, such a talented artist and loving father and devoted husband. Bradley Nowell was truly a god among men. He had a great voice, and his lyrics were gradually getting better. His ska guitar riffs were sweet as well. Sublime will forever be one of the best ska/reggae/dub bands of all time. RIP, Brad
I agree......he got what he deserved. He made his own bed. He constantly wrote and spoke about wanting to kick his heroin addiction.....and I understand it is hard. However, he is the one who wanted to use heroin before he was addicted to it. He knew the stuff was addicting before he actively sought it out. I can't blame him for continuing to use the drug after he was addicted........but he gets all the blame for the addiction itself. He was not born addicted. He purposely sought out the drug.......which he knew was addictive and life threatening. He made his own bed.......
The sad thing is........he never saw the greatest popularity/profit from his music. Their last album is what broke them into the mainstream culture and made millions of dollars........but he was already gone. He never knew how greatly appreciated his work was........
just asking do you guys now anyone that uses herion or died from it personnaly you know i dont think anyone knows how bad it really is unlees they have lived through it we dont know the circumstance arouned what drove him to use and before i start getting bashed i would like to say that my grandfather just o.ded and died from herion use two years ago
...So we don't have the capacity to fathom exactly how bad heroin is unless we have seen it for ourselves? Those of us who haven't actually seen it can resort to movies. Yes, movies are fake, but they are also so real it's not funny. Have you ever seen Trainspotting? That's a movie to watch if you wanna see what heroin can do to somebody. So is Requiem for a Dream. Don't tell me I can't undertsand what it's like. I know enough to understand the dangers of it, and I know how many of my favorite musicians have died because of it.
Seriously...........if you are trying to say that people don't know how bad heroin is unless we've used it, you are crazy. The reason we don't use it is because we know how bad it is and that it will kill you. Brad knew what heroin was and what it did to people before he ever shot up his very first time. He knew, he wanted to try it anyway........he got addicted and later died. He knew all of this could/would happen before he ever tried it.........he said "what the hell" and did it anyway.
