Does anyone else hate Sublime?

juan lester · February 2010

yah i know alot about addiction i know what its like, but what fenway was saying makes me wonder if alot of musicians think the drugs make their music better/more creative? It was just an interesting post thats all no offence to nowell.[/quote]

you mean like dewey cox bouncing on the trampoline fro 8 days on LSD? "I'm inventing something new, called schmusic!"

musicians do drugs for the same reason everyone else does. "It makes me more more creative" is just another bullshit excuse.

Yes, I mean absolutely no disrespect to Brad or any of his fans. It just breaks my heart how the mentality of these rock stars get in the way of their true genius. I was just making the point because often times these things get glorified in rock and roll. Did Jimi play at that level because of the acid he took in large quantities? Did John Fruscante play so amazingly on Mother's Milk because he was on heroin? Did the Ramones rock so hard because they did so much coke? No, it was because they were amazing musicians. Often times it seems they don't understand this for themselves and it breaks my heart.

about a year after he died, brad's wife was on kroq and she said that brad tried heroin to see what it was like...well as most people do, he liked it and got hooked...i'm sure he thought it would help his music and maybe it did to a point but heroin is not something you can just pick up and stop when you like

and i'm a fan...haven't listened to them in years but if i ever do, i can turn on kroq...i think it's in their charter to play at least one sublime song per hour

Sublime was around at the right time...they were sort of a precursor to the jam band culture, IMHO.

Their music annoys me!

My friend is furious over this thread and says "sublime speaks to me and billions of america's youth. heres a sample from the hit song, WHAT I GOT---early in the morning, rise into the street, light me up that cigarette, and i strap shoes on my feet, got to find a reason reason things went wrong, got to find a reason why my money's all gone. If this doesnt have meaning then you're a dead fish...i mean gay fish...hahahahahahahaha"

I would not say i hate them but they are completly overblown.

I actually saw them live once too back in 95 so idon't want to hear that "you had to see them live shit"

I'm not downing them they make cool music for the type of music they make i was just never overly impressed

elevation622 · February 2010

yeah, i kinda hate them. And I know hate is a strong word.

musicismylife78 · February 2010

if your gonna hate a band, seems silly to hate them merely for their drug use. Not liking the style of music, or the lyrics or the lead singers voice, that seems legitimate, but hating them because they use drugs? Someone ought to post that video of Hicks and his view on all this.

i have an uncle who is a musician and he has stated that he felt really turned off by how prevelant drugs were in the music scene. its just common practice. I am a straight edger myself, but i think its pretty naive to dislike a band just because they indulge. Go through the top bands in history list: beatles, stones, led zep, dylan, pink floyd, hell even PJ have all had dabbles with drugs.

The song is a classic. Like them or not, these here are some great lyrics:

Early in the morning, risin' to the street
Light me up that cigarette and I strap shoes on my feet
Got to find a reason, a reason things went wrong
Got to find a reason why my money's all gone
I got a Dalmatian, and I can still get high
I can play the guitar like a mother fuckin' riot

Life is too short, so love the one you got
'Cause you might get run over or you might get shot
Never start no static, I just get it off my chest
Never had to battle with no bulletproof vest
Take a small example, take a tip from me
Take all of your money, give it all to charity

Love is what I got, it's within my reach
Yeah, and the sublime style's still straight from long beach
It all comes back to you, you'll finally get what you deserve
Try and test that, you're bound to get served
Love's what I got, don't start a riot
You'll feel it when the dance gets hot

Lovin' is what I got, I said remember that
Lovin' is what I got, I remember that
Lovin' is what I got, I said remember that
Lovin' is what I got

Why I don't cry when my dog runs away
I don't get angry at the bills I have to pay
I don't get angry when my mom smokes pot
Hits the bottle and goes right to the rock
Fuckin' and fightin', it's all the same
Livin' with Louie dog's the only way to stay sane
Let the lovin', let the lovin' come back to me

:wave:

Does anyone else hate Sublime?
