Does anyone else hate Sublime?

I like Sublime, but I kinda grew out of listening to them on a regular basis.

the entire thread is about drug use and sublime. go back and read it.

My intent was not about drug use directly. Hell, I'm a fan of a lot of bands that have suffered drug casualties (and which band hasn't in one way or another, really). The reason I don't like them is that the version of Sublime that is stuck in popular memory is the easy-going, party band. What's not necessarily remembered is the fact that Bradley ultimately ended up choosing drugs over responsibility for his family, and left his young kid without a dad. That's what I'm reminded of every time I hear them on the radio.

Family wise? We've got a few. Doesn't mean I need to approve of their choices and the reprecussions of them. They (and their families) have to deal with the fallout.

Me personally? Ever since I had kids my desire to drink/smoke has diminished considerably.

Lots of other comments beat me to it, but YES, I CAN'T STAND Sublime.

Someone said, "well don't listen to them." I would cheerfully ignore this extinct mediocre poor excuse of a band if their horrible songs weren't on the damn radio every 15 minutes!

Drugs or no drugs, they sucked. Couldn't stand them in the 90s, and stil can't. Every song sounds the same, and every loser pot-smoker type loves to listen to them all the freakin time. Not to offend anyone, but those who do nothing but smoke up is what I mean - don't have any problem with those who want to light up on occasion.

Lame band with lame lyrics. My buddy would always listen to them when we drove to University and I would always contemplate throwing myself out of his car or grabbing the steering wheel and take us into on-coming traffic. Let's just say it was the last semester I car-pooled with him.

seems like most folks equate people who smoke way too much ganga with sublime, and hate on them equally.

welcome to the bash sublime/stoners thread. enjoy

i still like sublime. still easy to play on the uke. also still don't think their lyrics are dumb - they rhyme and fit and are clever - not deep, but not dumb.

I think someone who does nothing but smoke all day is a loser who needs to grow up. If someone just does it every weekend or at parties thats cool. Also the drug references isnt the only reason why i dont like sublime i love many bands who are involved with them or who sing abt their addictions

kinda like kurdt right. but i guess he gets a pass cause he was a "hero" to a generation.

:roll:


sublime are a cool party/pot head band. nothing more then that. they made cool chill music. 40oz to freedom is still to this day my fave summer cd.

Just to re-clarify - I meant to say "pothead," not "pot smoker." I had a busy day and couldn't get my thoughts exactly straight today, but I had to weigh in on this thread. Shouldn't have smoked up this morning. And yeah, Sublime still sucks, even if they don't exist anymore.

I thought threads about hating bands are taboo around her.
JDB will be calling you names soon if he hasn't already.
