Read in the book Crazy Fool: Portrait of a Punk, that Brad would go to little Mexican dive bars and do hip hop covers of NWA, all in Spanish/Spanglish to the bar patrons and they’d go fuckin nuts! Trippin out on a white boy rapping in Spanish. What a talent. What a character! Still so sad he’s gone.
Tbh Brad doesnt look fully white....i have a friend who resembles him and mom is white and his dad is Honduran....looks like him...its possible Brad may have some kind of Latin in blood..
@@christinasavannah7992 lol!!! he has NO Latin blood - none! he learned spanish (as many of us did in so-cal) working with and growing up with Mexicans. simple as. all the best.
Internet says B-Rad is English, German, Irish, 1/16th Czech [Bohemian], as well as small amounts of Scottish, Dutch, distant Welsh, French, and Swiss-German.
never heard or seen bradley talk in a convo like this besides his videos of him and the gang at the pad when he performed prophet on the couch before they released it on under the sun in 2006. insanely dope.
5:47 - 6:01 Bradley speaking the Truth. We need Co-operative communities, where families can lean on each other in good times and in bad. That's the Truth. Like the Tribes from every culture in antiquity. The New Humanity.
That’s how we’re meant to exist we’re a social species. It’s not about codependency (most common toxic relationship style nowadays) it’s about interdependence 🥰 the codependency you see is just a pendulum swing from the rugged independence that we’re supposed to be going for (not natural for humans).
Dude was a real punk. All the songs about getting drunk and stoned aside they sang a lot of very beautiful well written songs about poverty racism social and political issues
R.I.P Brad R.I.P Lou Dog. So happy to see his son Jakob playing with Sublime. Amazing wonderful things do happen in a world full of hate and awfulness. DJ`s best one of the best Sublime songs.
It’s cool to see this video footage I grew up with these guys so it’s just a flashback for me I remember seeing them at their first backyard kegger party It was always a good time when the boys were playin and they played everywhere Bradley is heavily Missed. I jammed with Eric a few times at his pad on 57th pl some years ago before he was kindly asked to relocate due to his outrageous parties lol Jakob will carry the torch now”and make his pops and all the heads down with Sublime proud” 🙏
You know, I’ve been a fan of Sublime (only Bradley as lead Singer) since 1997. 5:13 is what I believe is from the last concert?!? The sublime family never released more than a few seconds of it. I’ve been waiting to see that last concert in Petaluma for over 20 years…
This was kind of sad. You can see his addiction in some these videos and he looks rough for being in his twenties. What an incredible talent that left too early.
He’s so friendly even though chicken is just kind of being annoying to him. I love how at 3:05 the dude interrupts “what’s your name, buddy?” He is just so chill when he tells him “Brad”. Like if that dude only knew who he was asking..
I know he been gone but people the man left us some real music that's stood up to the test of ridicule and haters, they deserve so much more from their fans like me wish I could revival this scene but I just don't have his talent not !any do
That one dude with the weiner dog: "Dude, Bradley Nowell just pretended to eat my dog's nose." Weiner dog: "Dude, don't let people try and eat my nose no more, WTF."
@@RKTologist No way to be sure, but he doesn't seem too happy. Also, you can tell that clip was from a different time than most of the footage in this compilation. He was really bloated/chubby, probably from drinking too much.
How did anyone dislike this footage? This is the bomb content you know. Sucks Just move on to the next video if your a hater. We don't need your disrespect 😎💯
dude recording around 7:00 is exactly the kind of fans we hate. I'm SO GLAD he got it on camera...because bradley left too soon...but I work for an artist in another genre and people just recording when someone is trying to relax after a show is beyond annoying.
He could have moved or his bandmates/pals could have moved him to a more private room/area. If you work for an artist, then you certainly should expect that when they’re out in public, around excited fans - that they’ll definitely be recorded. Many want to record it so they can treasure the memory of hanging out with a public figure. Morally, the good and the bad should be recorded, otherwise it looks like denial of the situation. If you’re a PR rep though I get it.
People don't talk about how Bradley worked with Mexicans (with his Dad's business and not through places like Labor Ready or finding jobs in front of Home Depot), not being rude or anything but his Spanish was taught to him by workers who barely spoke English. While songs like "Caress Me Down" and "Chica Me Tipo" are loved by Sublime fans, they often fall in a negative light because it's the language predominantly spoken in Southern California. I'm just saying a guy from Spain will listen to the songs and tell me he has no idea what the guy is saying, which I find highly amusing. Same with guys from Mexico (not Tijuana, but more south like Mexico City) but they get the idea of it. Mainly slang and broken English, but it's how people spoke when growing up in areas around San Diego County, Orange County and Los Angeles County.
I truly believe they would have been a big as the chili peppers, Pearl Jam, foo fighters! He was a dual talent with great vocals and guitar. A true master like sting, or John Maher. Of course different styles but excellence all the same!
Heroin. That's what it is. After being addicted to it, you understand other people's reaction times, their eyes, how they breathe, how they talk, ALL OF IT. He is on H in most of these clips sadly.
This was kind of hard to watch. This should’ve just been a part of Bradley’s life; being poor, fighting to create music, getting drunk with his friends. Unfortunately, it became all Bradley ever knew. Painful to see. His life looks sad to me.
No, he was just showing off the tattoo.... on his balls. Which, for those curious, was just a bottle with skull and cross to signify a bottle of rat poison. For obvious reasons I cannot show that on youtube.
@@sublimeden I have tattoos and can confidently say that the pain is extremely overrated; its just uncomfortable. However, ball tattoos must suck. I also pity the artist. How do you even handle the expansion and contraction? Ridiculous shit.
Funny how half the crowd in a half-full little club isn't even paying attention to them. Sublime really was much bigger after Bradley's death. Also, I knew he wasn't rich, but I didnt know he was poor either. Looks like he was living in total squalor. It's amazing what he managed to accomplish with so little.
Here is a sad fact: brad died millions of dollars in debt from both producing the last self titled album and from the record company funding his rehab visits (which were very costly). Bradley was so in debt and poor that there were several shows Brad didnt have a guitar and had to borrow one, whether from another band or a friend.
@@sublimeden Yes, I was reading about it in the days since I made that comment. It's a sad tale, for sure. Unfortunately, rehabs are still very expensive, especially out in California (shitty healthcare).

Have u seen the video of him at the lost house
@Humble 9300 the only hollywood thing about him that he thought he had to live up being a drug addict and rockstar "for the fans"
Talented, hell yes.......idol, hell nah
Love
Just dont do heroin
It’s a shame and sad he never got to experience how big sublime was about to get. Love Lou Dog!!
Brad's Spanish was well spoken 👌💯 thanks for sharing 😎

He only spoke a sentence
Dude I love the user lol

thank you for everything Brad. Since I've been a kid.
Damn his Spanish is better than mine and I'm Mexican lmaooooo
Same here! lol 😎
He might as well be Mexican considering where he grew up
@@joseespinoza7777 Puerto Ricans are my favorite kind of Mexicans
Lmao u pinche no sabo kid
White boy from Long Beach right here, alot of us are all pretty damn good at Spanish
He sounds soo different then he does when hes singing lol. This video makes me so sad and unsettled. But he seemed like such a sweet guy :(
Amazing band and people. So glad you were here to share with us Brad, thanks forever bro.

Damn, he was so 90's California. Shame we lost him so soon.
this is awesome, thanks for the up load ! One of the best ever, so many HS memories listening to their music! RIP Bradley , we miss you daily!
Awww! "How do you rewind it?" "It's a CD!?"
Most stereo's rewind cd's,just hold down the button.
I miss the 90s
He was high as hell
This is so sad to see. Bradley got me through the saddest part of my life. I wish someone was there for him the way he was there for some of us….
Brad is down with the Raza and the Rasta what a great guy....rest in heaven Bradley and of course Lou dog
RIP LEGEND BRADLEY STILL MISSIN YOU MAN!!!
Man, from the first time I heard Sublime they've been my favorite band, it's been a looong ass time. RIP Brad
3:06 I love that part for some reason, where the kid legitimately doesn't know who Brad is.
Thats actually crazy dude imagine having that memory.
"Love Is. What I got. Remember that."
:.) How can I not?
His Spanish was good.
@@stephen8080 Yes. It’s unfortunate his life was cut short.
The greatest ever. My idol if I have ever had one. Him or Jack Johnson...for similarly different reasons.

90s were the best..Phones and computers ruined our beautiful world.
