I feel the same way about Sublime carrying on with a new singer as I do Alice in Chains doing the same...iffy. But Rome is REALLY good! He KNOWS he cant touch the old Sublime, but hes living in homage to it and trying to do the best he can. If anyone could do it, its him. Must suck to always be told he'll never be as good as Bradley, especially when he already knows that himself! I dig his vibe.
You want to hear something really trippy is listen to Jackob Nowell the son of Brad sing and it is just like Brad is singing again. It's amazing how much he sounds like his father. In fact I closed my eyes during part of the video of his son singing and I could have sworn it was Brad.
I went to a Phish show & was totally blown away & have been hooked ever since. So long story short I have not listened to Sublime since Brad died but I'm back on the train now. Their song writing has always been right on & Rome is the perfect replacement (Brad was one of a kind & it will never be the same) & he has got my attention. I ready to go see them live like right now. Hell yea Sublime is back & life is good!!!
That guy's got the best job in the world. He is continuing Brad's legacy. It's like is Nowell's messiah or something...haha Props for keeping Sublime alive, and thanks to Brad for creating Sublime.
You know all of you people pushing Rome down. He is doing his best. He is the only member left. He is just keeping the legacy of the band going on! Can we just remember how good of a band they were!
"the only member left" Um Ok Lets back this truck up. He was a young teenager when the original Sublime was around. He is not an original member the bassist is the original member and has allowed him to be the singer.
This is one song that no matter what, at any party always has the party singing along! Doesn't matter if it's Bradley or someone ekse singing it as long as it's good it still captures the hearts of the masses! Love that Rome is rockin' it out in Sublime fashion at least! he ain't Bradley but he ain't bad either!
This guy rocks! I am so glad to see and here these songs again! Its nice to see someone from a younger generation like them well enough to learn and perfectly execute these songs.
I freakin' love Sublime. And Rome kicks ass. I'm definitely loving' his energy on stage. I haven't listened to these guys in a long time. Back in the day I worked many Sublime shows. I was a production assistant for most of those shows. One of my many duties was to take care of their guest list & backstage passes so I spent some time with the guys & they just as awesome off stage as they are on stage. I was so upset when we lost Brad & after that I was listening to them less & less.
i hate how people hate on rome, yes, everyone, including himself knows he aint no bradley, but hes being as respectful as he can, not even performing the songs that bradley would say his own name in because he wouldnt change it, anyways, i think rome is the best sounding replacement, still holds the sublime tune and all, hes great, brads still my favorite though
stop hatin on rome hes doin a good job of carrying on a great thing. he hes a great voice in his own right, and hes got the style down he just ISNT what you're used to and you KNOW how people only want what theyre used to...fools
I can't even imagine what Rome must feel like after he plays to fan who undoubtedly had their doubts about him and then get's a positive reaction from the crowd.
I just recently got to hear sublime, so you all might not take me seriously but I like them..I mean having someone fill a band member whos dead or splits shoes is better then havin the entire band just break up. I like both of them
i understand brad is the true sublime and it isnt the same without him but i was at this show and this video deosnt do rome justice he did a pretty good job interpreting brad he put on a real good show. love sublime one of my favorite bands long live sublime r.i.p brad
For all you Rome haters I'd like to see you try to what he does. He's got one of the worlds toughest jobs singing in place of Bradley. So if u criticize u try filling brads shoes.
He sounds pretty good. I haven't seen any videos of the original band to compare to, but he sounds a lot like the original record versions. I think the main thing to remember is that he is very young. He's only 22, give him time and he'll get better stage presence. At the same time, it's probably good that he's transitioning the band slowly. For Sublime to really continue and create their new sound, he needs to get comfortable as the frontman for a huge, world famous band.
and to the haters keep hating that makes him better believe me we understand bradley is the god of sublime together with the other original members BUT rome is not trying to take no credit hes jus performing the masterpieces bradley came up with to keep his spirit alive haters dont understand that smh u hate yet u watch this vid lmfao ne ways KEEP IT UP ROME DO YOUR THING I TOTALY SUPPORT U PIMPIN JAHHHH LOVE BROTHA!!!!!
ONE LOVE A TRUE BROTHER IN THE SPIRIT OF THE DAY... PEACE TO YOU. KEEP TEACHING THESE LOST SOULS THE TRUE WAY iM TIRED MAN...MYSELF DON;T HAVE ENOUGH TIME OR PATIENCE FOR SUCH HATING AND IGNORANCE... PEACE & SAFE PASSAGE TO YOU AND YOURS... ALL YOUR DAYS..U DOING GOOD WORK. ANYBODY GOT PROBLEM W ROME,.GET UP THERE AND DO IT YOURSELF TOUGH GUYS..YEAH FIND ME TOO i I DONT PLAY.......jOVIANTIGER
DEAR HATERS : I've been a Sublime fan since day one and I love Brad but the reality is that Brad Nowell was often not the the Brad you hear on record when he was live. Its pretty amazing what lots of heroin and booze can do. This kid is obviously really good to have one of the best rhythm sections in rock sign him. see SUBLIME w/ Rome in Brantford Canada JUNE 5
He won't ever be as good, the songs weren't created by him with his singing style in mind, but that said, he's pretty damn close to Bradly, and the guitar playing is excellent. I'm positive Bradley's happy to his music carried on and make even more people happy, it's what he lived for.
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 motherfucking riot Well, 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 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 said remember that Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that 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 Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that Lovin', is what I got
@LaughTilYouSkeet Damn I hate how people keep talking about Rome and Bradley. In my opion they are both amazing and we should be happy we got a guy like Rome and stop talking about it light one and enjoy sublime! Hes got the music and love to be in sublime.
obviamente no es Brad pero un grupo como es el restante de sublime tiene qe segir tocando esta bueno y es claro que Rome no puede sustituir a brad pero hace un excelente trabajo saludos sublime sigan asi porfa necesito esta musica muchos años de no saber de uds gracias y todo el apoyo desde Costa Rica!!!
where did replacing brad come from?? all he did was get the chance to play his idols songs and it lets us here our favorite music. i saw them last night and everyone loved them. if it good enough for eric and bud to play with a new singer why cant we sit back and enjoy some sublime?
There will never be another Bradley. I know it, you know it, Rome knows it, everyone knows it. But there have been many bands who have found success with new singers. AC/DC, Faith No More, Black Sabbath. The best thing about Rome is that he's not trying to replace him, he's just another musician happy to collaborate. Check out their new album. If you like it, cool. If you don't, that's fine too. But they deserve to be judged on their own merits as a band.
idk what brad had but rome is as close as anyone will come and even if he throws a few of his sound in there its not gonna kill the song its better than no tour
I feel the same way about Sublime carrying on with a new singer as I do Alice in Chains doing the same...iffy. But Rome is REALLY good! He KNOWS he cant touch the old Sublime, but hes living in homage to it and trying to do the best he can. If anyone could do it, its him. Must suck to always be told he'll never be as good as Bradley, especially when he already knows that himself! I dig his vibe.
Riot I agree it’s not the same but it’s still got feeling and it’s good
You want to hear something really trippy is listen to Jackob Nowell the son of Brad sing and it is just like Brad is singing again. It's amazing how much he sounds like his father. In fact I closed my eyes during part of the video of his son singing and I could have sworn it was Brad.
Sublime's music is timeless. Even though we lost the lead singer we shouldn't lose the music. Thanks to Sublime and Rome for keeping it alive.
I went to a Phish show & was totally blown away & have been hooked ever since. So long story short I have not listened to Sublime since Brad died but I'm back on the train now. Their song writing has always been right on & Rome is the perfect replacement (Brad was one of a kind & it will never be the same) & he has got my attention. I ready to go see them live like right now. Hell yea Sublime is back & life is good!!!
Kids got talent and soul
Brad was looking down from heaven smiling because so many were singing his songs over a dozen years later.
Thanks for carrying the torch Rome!! You're Killin it!
That guy's got the best job in the world. He is continuing Brad's legacy. It's like is Nowell's messiah or something...haha
Props for keeping Sublime alive, and thanks to Brad for creating Sublime.
love Rome...he has so much heart!
i love how everyone looks so happy to be hearing these songs being performed by sublime again. seriously, thats magic.
You know all of you people pushing Rome down. He is doing his best. He is the only member left. He is just keeping the legacy of the band going on! Can we just remember how good of a band they were!
Im not to big on his remixes of brads stuff, but his original stuff is pretty awesome.
"the only member left" Um Ok Lets back this truck up. He was a young teenager when the original Sublime was around. He is not an original member the bassist is the original member and has allowed him to be the singer.
this guy did awesome live. props!
This is one song that no matter what, at any party always has the party singing along! Doesn't matter if it's Bradley or someone ekse singing it as long as it's good it still captures the hearts of the masses! Love that Rome is rockin' it out in Sublime fashion at least! he ain't Bradley but he ain't bad either!
i love how rome doesnt try replacing brad he simply looks happy to be part of the sublime experience and to share brads music with everyone he can
This guy rocks! I am so glad to see and here these songs again! Its nice to see someone from a younger generation like them well enough to learn and perfectly execute these songs.
Rome has a huge noggin. Sublime Forever!!! Keep it going forever. Nice job big head.
I like how proud that woman at Rome's right looks (I bet she's his mom).
Power thought the same exact thing. very proud indeed
by far my favorite band in the whole world right there (sublime)
Damn, he is so damn talented. Long Live Sublime! Hope you are enjoying the journey from up there Bradley! You are always missed.
I wanna go see Sublime with Rome in Chicago! Just realized they were touring.
I freakin' love Sublime. And Rome kicks ass. I'm definitely loving' his energy on stage. I haven't listened to these guys in a long time. Back in the day I worked many Sublime shows. I was a production assistant for most of those shows. One of my many duties was to take care of their guest list & backstage passes so I spent some time with the guys & they just as awesome off stage as they are on stage. I was so upset when we lost Brad & after that I was listening to them less & less.
Rome, you REPRESENT brother !! keep on with the good job!! don't let Sublime die !!
i hate how people hate on rome, yes, everyone, including himself knows he aint no bradley, but hes being as respectful as he can, not even performing the songs that bradley would say his own name in because he wouldnt change it, anyways, i think rome is the best sounding replacement, still holds the sublime tune and all, hes great, brads still my favorite though
thumbs up for sublime with rome
respects to rome, he's no brad but he's keeping sublime alive and that's what it's all about
stop hatin on rome hes doin a good job of carrying on a great thing. he hes a great voice in his own right, and hes got the style down he just ISNT what you're used to and you KNOW how people only want what theyre used to...fools
This is so good my man’s’ got it going on
i think rome is great i actually met him hes an amazing dude real humble and down to earth shared a joint with him lol it was an honor :))
4-14-2020 coronavirus pandemic lockdown playlist THANK YOU!
I actually like how rome sings !
I can't even imagine what Rome must feel like after he plays to fan who undoubtedly had their doubts about him and then get's a positive reaction from the crowd.
Rome is the man! Bradleys shoes are among the biggest to fill, and he's doing a pretty damn good job.
Rome is just another guy. Like us, we love singing sublime. If you have a problem with him just listen to the old school Brad, I do :)
I MISS BRAD, it still not the same! He was a true poet & he can never be replaced!
I'm not a huge fan of Rome but I think that this is one of the better songs that he has done with Sublime.
I was a bit skeptic about this guy at first but it is great that the music lives on and he is doing a damn good job :)
I just recently got to hear sublime, so you all might not take me seriously but I like them..I mean having someone fill a band member whos dead or splits shoes is better then havin the entire band just break up. I like both of them
Dianc1967.. I am going to that concert in Reno as well.. I think Rome is doing a awesome filling those shoes. I think he is doing awesome!
I THREW UP BILE 3 TIMES WATCHING THIS.
I think he's alright. I like the guys making something of the situation.
The true testament of a great band: They sound just like they do live as they do on the CD.
He is the best. Please tour. You
Are the best
i understand brad is the true sublime and it isnt the same without him but i was at this show and this video deosnt do rome justice he did a pretty good job interpreting brad he put on a real good show. love sublime one of my favorite bands long live sublime r.i.p brad
he is just Rome. he's a solo artist, with his own EP out and an album coming on the way. And he was a solo artist b4 he joined Sublime.
I couldnt imagine playing With eric or bud. I think My mind would be blown. I bet Rome is just enjoying everysecond of it.. I know I would!
This dude is having fun.
I think he is doing an amazing Job
Rome is what we got
sublime is THE TRUTH nuff said R.I.P BRADLEY
He's great at what he does, I can appreciate him fully. But still Brad will always be Brad. RIP
For all you Rome haters I'd like to see you try to what he does. He's got one of the worlds toughest jobs singing in place of Bradley. So if u criticize u try filling brads shoes.
Blonde chick rules.
Good call bro.....i'm getting the hang of him now. Blind hate isnt what Brad or Sublime where about.
i just saw sublime with rome and 311 and rome was really good
Get to see them next month
Dave Mirra Freestyle Bmx + And What I Got = Happiness
its still sublime, with rome... a different singer
I hope that Bradly can hear this, he would just be happy that his music is still around
He sounds pretty good. I haven't seen any videos of the original band to compare to, but he sounds a lot like the original record versions. I think the main thing to remember is that he is very young. He's only 22, give him time and he'll get better stage presence. At the same time, it's probably good that he's transitioning the band slowly. For Sublime to really continue and create their new sound, he needs to get comfortable as the frontman for a huge, world famous band.
Wouldn't you ? I would. Holy shit I would.
Y'all are haters. Rome is amazing.
HOLY CRAP ROME IS AWESOME
and to the haters keep hating that makes him better believe me we understand bradley is the god of sublime together with the other original members BUT rome is not trying to take no credit hes jus performing the masterpieces bradley came up with to keep his spirit alive haters dont understand that smh u hate yet u watch this vid lmfao ne ways KEEP IT UP ROME DO YOUR THING I TOTALY SUPPORT U PIMPIN JAHHHH LOVE BROTHA!!!!!

PEACE & SAFE PASSAGE TO YOU AND YOURS... ALL YOUR DAYS..U DOING GOOD WORK. ANYBODY GOT PROBLEM W ROME,.GET UP THERE AND DO IT YOURSELF TOUGH GUYS..YEAH FIND ME TOO i I DONT PLAY.......jOVIANTIGER
Coheed tattoo on his wrist? I'm sold.
@ScavengerData Exactly! that's why theyre called Sublime with Rome now :P
DEAR HATERS :
I've been a Sublime fan since day one and I love Brad
but the reality is that Brad Nowell was often not the the Brad you hear
on record when he was live. Its pretty amazing what lots of heroin
and booze can do. This kid is obviously really good to
have one of the best rhythm sections in rock sign him.
see SUBLIME w/ Rome in Brantford Canada JUNE 5
ppl lets stop hating on rome. brad would want us to love him. besides, hes what we got.
hey rome, fuck the haters keep playin the music i loooooove broo. keep it alive! good enough for eric and bud... good enough for me
UA-cam won't allow me to place the link but it's called "The Dirty Heads on Sublime with Rome-Smokeout 2009"
He won't ever be as good, the songs weren't created by him with his singing style in mind, but that said, he's pretty damn close to Bradly, and the guitar playing is excellent. I'm positive Bradley's happy to his music carried on and make even more people happy, it's what he lived for.
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 motherfucking riot
Well, 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
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 said remember that
Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that
Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that
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
Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that
Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that
Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that
Lovin', is what I got
@LaughTilYouSkeet Damn I hate how people keep talking about Rome and Bradley. In my opion they are both amazing and we should be happy we got a guy like Rome and stop talking about it light one and enjoy sublime! Hes got the music and love to be in sublime.
thats cool that rome said to give it up for bud and eric
I think bradley would be glad that their music can live on through bud Eric and Rome
love is what i got
he performed really well for this song
obviamente no es Brad pero un grupo como es el restante de sublime tiene qe segir tocando esta bueno y es claro que Rome no puede sustituir a brad pero hace un excelente trabajo saludos sublime sigan asi porfa necesito esta musica muchos años de no saber de uds gracias y todo el apoyo desde Costa Rica!!!
Rome haters blow... Let the cat pay respect. Brad has been gone for a long time. Rome does a great job ...
@lucky8393 reached all the way across the Country actually, since i live in South Carolina
I cannot dent romes talent. But he is in it for the money, not the music.
Brad can never be replaced one of the worst losses in music history, but rome is at least keeping the music alive, still does a solid job as well
where did replacing brad come from?? all he did was get the chance to play his idols songs and it lets us here our favorite music. i saw them last night and everyone loved them. if it good enough for eric and bud to play with a new singer why cant we sit back and enjoy some sublime?
That blonde chick is fucking loving it!
I just hate that bitch
i love sublime with or without brad,and rome is great enufff!
I'm seeing Sublime and 311 on august 1st :D
There will never be another Bradley. I know it, you know it, Rome knows it, everyone knows it. But there have been many bands who have found success with new singers. AC/DC, Faith No More, Black Sabbath. The best thing about Rome is that he's not trying to replace him, he's just another musician happy to collaborate. Check out their new album. If you like it, cool. If you don't, that's fine too. But they deserve to be judged on their own merits as a band.
i think Rome is doing a fine job at it
Excellent
idk what brad had but rome is as close as anyone will come and even if he throws a few of his sound in there its not gonna kill the song its better than no tour
why is everyone wining about rome? hes just playing sublime music with sublime for the fans live, so they can enjoy hearing sublime songs live!
i can't listen to rome anymore. i miss you, bradley. it kinda hurts seeing rome singing brad's words.
Yea, I agree with you fully.
Speaks the truth bro
There both great singers. Enough said
That would take some balls filling his spot he does a great job
All the Rome haters should watch this video with" The Dirty Heads" on the subject.
@MrBUDdha42 she is just having fun. Why bother people who are enjoying music?
@vatopr Actually no it started with Brad and Eric and then Bud came in later after he got out of jail.
Fazer sucesso numa banda já com as músicas consagradas é fácil
#Ripbrad
não é pelo sucesso, é pela homenagem.
sounds pretty good, but nobody can replace brad, First Comment! :)
brad would be proud, he is really talented
