So Sublime is getting back together?
 

Already hit up my peeps to see about booking them for the Players Ball on June 4th, Vegas, XBiz.

I found a bunch of videos with their new lead singer "Rome".

Our first Players Ball we had Long Beach Dub Allstars perform and they did a Sublime set and a Long Beach Dub set back in 1999, Club Utopia, Vegas. The closest thing to having Sublime since Brads death.

As a fan, I'm excited to see back.

well....it will never be the same...

That's awesome. I don't know if it will ever be the same though. Like trying to bring back your dead dog, they prolly just doing it for money anyways which i don't blame them for doing for one second.

Reunion (2009)
On February 26, 2009, the surviving members of Sublime announced they would be reuniting on February 28th at Cantino Los Tres Hobres in Nevada.[3][8] On March 1, 2009, Gaugh's current band Del Mar insisted in their MySpace blog entry that the Cantino Los Tres Hobres gig was indeed a Sublime reunion and revealed that the band's new singer and guitarist is Rome.[9] In regards to the band's future, Sublime has no "firm tour plans or anything yet".

I like the idea, but like most others will say... I dont know if it will hit the same chord...

If you ever want to see a good Sublime tribute band, see Badfish, they are awesome.

Of course it wouldn't be the same. It would still be awesome to see the live show.

That would make for a pretty sick player's ball

Wack, I'd rather see the tribute band.

yeah i guess tribute will be the best!! :thumbsup

I contacted Badfish too. Excellent covers of Sublime. I'd be happy with them as well.

I'm still gonna try for Sublime if it's possible. As a big Sublime fan, I don't think they need to record a new album under that name. But still, if they want to jam at a Players Ball, go for it!

Sublime was all about the lead vocals, you can't really just hire a new vocalist. Only AC/DC has done that successfully.

sublime =/= the remaining members.

Bradley was sublime. He was all that Sublime was. The drummer and bassist just did exactly what any other drummer and bassist on the planet could do. They're both entirely replaceable.

... There is no Sublime without Bradley. Period.

Sublime with Bradley kicked so much ass. RIP Bradley.

They should hire my friend. He sounds so much like the original singer its scary. I will have to upload the video of him singing and post it.

This would be sick... I know Bradly was the voice of Sublime.. but all were talented musicians and I would dig just hearing the jams from the originals.

Tribute bands are ok if they dont try to "act" like the originals on stage, but I guess some people like the.

Could you get the Cadilac Tramps to open for them ;) .

Not sure if you play drums or bass?? they are not just any old rhythm section, they had some mad talent.
Agree Bradley was the voice/sound of sublime though.

without Louie Dog Sublime aint the same.

I smoked weed with Louie Dog

RIP LD

I as well smoked with that stinking ass dog.

heh that sucks. this shit bugs me.. alice in chains tried this crap too.. you can't be replacing people like that.

:2 cents:

Having either Sublime or Badfish at Xbiz would make that the first Players Ball I would really look forward to :)

love sublime, saw them in concert at Gibsons in Tempe (2 blocks from where the phx forum is held) a few days after i graduated HS, before they became big

I though this thread was about Sublime Directory :helpme

Yep. I am willing to give them their day in court!

I am a huge Sublime fan. I might come to Vegas just to see them.

Never be the same without Brad.

Its not the same. It will never be the same!

Check this shit out. I sent that email last night to Badfish's manager, curious to see how much they'd want. I figured for a cover band, with travel expenses, maybe they'd be around $10k at the very most. He wanted $25k! I laughed at him in the email saying it would be cheaper to get the real Sublime with the new lead singer!

We'll see if he comes down in price. I would love to have Badfish open up or headline a show one day, they're pretty good, but not that good!

The hunt continues...

I smoked two joints in the morning....

:thumbsup:thumbsup Seen them 3 times! Very good tribute indeed!

I like their songs a lot, but recently I found lots of riffs and especially lyrics, are stolen. Just listen to the lyrics on 40 oz, most of them sound good but don't make much sense - because they are taken from different songs :)

I never liked them with the new singer.

I still listen to their original stuff all the time though

agree 100%. But they would still be a good a live show for sure.
