#sublime #badfish #sublimereactions
Same in the End is one of the tracks I absolutely suggest! Caress Me Down, Pawnshop and April 26th, 1992 are classic Sublime tracks.
Same in the end is my favorite. Such a sick song
Same in the end is the best
Caress me down! 🤙🏼
The song is technically called - Miami (April 26th 1992).
@@bangoskank493 - Actually it's called 'April 29th 1992 (Miami)', which was the first day of the riots. He mistakenly said 26th, but they decided to keep it.
I believe a "badfish" is someone who introduces someone to drugs, specifically heroin.
Correct. Sounds like a happy song but it about his heroin addiction
Yeah bro. Brad RIP.
I've been listening to this song since the 90s as a love song, but I never knew it was about heroin. Ignorance is bliss I guess. Sucks when so many incredible songs are related to drugs. RIP Bradley.
Bingo.
Also worth noting is their use of the phrases "duck diving" and "reef." They're both surfing terms. Duck diving is a technique that surfers use to literally dive under oncoming waves that aren't good to surf. A reef is an artificial structure that makes better waves to surf. The lyrics "Grab the reef when all duck diving fails," and then later, "I dive deep when it's 10 feet overhead/Grab the reef underneath my bed," along with the term "badfish" heavily imply that this song is about heroin or whatever someone's drug of choice is. Life is the oncoming wave and Nowell doesn't want to face it. First he tries duck diving to get out of its way, but when that fails, he grabs the reef (his drug) to make the wave better. He says the reef (his stash) is underneath his bed. Some really dark lyrics in a song that feels pure chill. But that's kind of what heroin (Nowell's drug of choice) is. The world can be collapsing around you, but as long as you're on it, everything feels so perfect and right.
April 29th, 1992
40oz to Freedom
Ballad of Johnny Butt
Garden Grove
These are all fantastic songs I recommend you guys check out some day
Garden Grove 👍
Garden Grove is one of my favorite songs ever, not just sublime.
Garden Grove bangs af
I still remember the day my father came home late telling me the day Bradley died. My father was at the bar drinking with the band manager. Apparently he (the manager) was really torn up and kept on saying that they (the band) “were just about to make it”. It was a pretty sad day for sure.
The timing couldn't have been worse
This song is about his addiction which eventually led to his death.
Its more a cry for help
Not a happy song
“I swim, but I wish I’d never learned. The waters too polluted with germs”
My my my, you guys took me down memory lane! I absolutely love Sublime!
This song and the lyrics reflect Bradley's heroin addiction, "get me off this reef" "underneath my bed" just some examples.
A main factor in understanding the feel/vibe of the song is to identify the things that were going on in the artist's lives, the city/environment they grew up in as well as their tone. Growing up in southern california, i never got vacation vibes from this song. I got the getting high/skateboarding/partying on the beach vibe. 🤷♂️
This
Yeah I always find it funny people think of vacation with sublime, I hear the punk and drugs and grime below the reggae groove
One of the best blends of musical styles by one band, ever. Not just this song, but everything they did
I'll echo what others have said and you should check out Doin' Time (Summertime). It has a wonderful catchy groove and it my favorite Sublime song.
George keeps saying he wants to get into ska more. Well, you guys just did! 👍
Sublime's style covered a range which included both reggae and ska, among other things, but this song is absolutely ska. The drums and bass are playing a straight rhythm, with the drums accenting the 2 and 4... Compare that to reggae, where the rhythm has a pronounced "bounce" to it because the bass and drums play in a more "back-and-forth" way, and the main accent on the drums is usually on the 3.
When that 3 grabs you, you got it
Sublime April 29th, 1992 or Pawn Shop~ Love this song but it has no punches check out their others.
Ain't got no quarrels with God......still one of my favorite lines of all time in a song. The way he sings it is perfect.
BadFish = A person with Alcohol problems. The things that make him drink. Polluted water, growing old, etc....
It isn't specific to alcohol. Drugs in general. More closely related to heroin with Bradley Nowell.
You are the first reaction videos I started with, love you guys.
Loudog is Bradley’s actual dog.
Operation ivy needs to be on the list of Ska yall need to hear.
YES
'Unity' or 'here we go again'
Healthy Body or Sound System
Or 'take warning '
Classic band, always a great song. Reminds me of NH parties out in the woods.. like 100+ people and shit haha
Sublime, (don't push )or (get ready )next please. Very underrated songs
40 oz to freedom is a god damn perfect release
One of my favorite songs, so happy to watch you guys react to this
I appreciate yall... I didn't like how it started, but i like how you tried to break it down.
I'm a fan of yall hip hop reactions, n how you try to understand.
Sublime was (is) fire.
Dig deeper. You'll dig it!
Be well fellas
Bad fish 🐠 is an some one who drinks to much . It’s from I drink like a fish! It’s in the song “ two pints of booze 🥃 are you a bad fish 2 “ believe me ! It’s one of my favorite songs and broke it down!
Miss you Bradley Nowell! 25 years and it seems like yesterday.
Just wanted to say that I follow about a half dozen music reaction channels, and you guys are my favorite! Mainly because I like how you both are very knowledgeable about music! Anyways, keep up the good work, and happy holidays to you and your families!
Sublime introduced me to my favorite all-time hip hop artists KRS-One and Boogie Down Productions!
Whatever track you do next, also listen to Paddle Out. It's a very short track and very different. Give you an idea of their range.
“Same in the End” is one of their best!
I've listened to Sublime since 91. I didn't have a clue what the lyrics meant until ya'll just broke it down...WOW! You guys are amazing! Much love!
Summertime
Waiting for my ruca
Romeo
April 26, 1992
Just some of my Sublime favs
Long live Sublime; to all my Badfishes in 2022!
April 29th, 1992
I grew up here in LA, (Valley) in high school when this album came out.
Sublime was More than some
"Vibe" for us, #40oztofreedom
This song reminds me of the 90’s house parties!!! And a band playing live their
Sublime takes me back to better times
If you like this band, I highly suggest you guys hear "Same in the End". It really rocks!!
You know what, I really like Rome in the band. I've seen them live before and I tell you what man, that concert was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. They played all the Sublime greatest hits and just something about it reverberates in your soul. If they ever come nearby, go check them out!
Punk rock music primarily deriving from England is heavily influenced by Rasta culture and therefore has a lot of reggae sounds. "Reggae rock" has been around for a long time. Check out Guns of Brixton or older music by the Clash
How you gunna come? lol
Sublime- April 26th 1992, it’s about the LA riots and is a great mixture of punk and hip-hop with of course some ska/Reggae as well
Love that bassline.
George, I highly recommend digging into the Clash for some quality reggae/rock fusion. They were one of the first British bands that did that. Songs like “Police and Theives”, White Man in Hammersmith Palais” also Can’t Stand Losing by the Police
Whoop Whoop!!!! It's about damn time!!!!!
Been waiting for you guys to hit Sublime. Great choice!
The reason the reggae beat/rhythm is universal is because it’s in step, usually, with the human heartbeat. I heard that somewhere
You guys do the best reactions on UA-cam. I do, however, would like to see some more punk rock representation on here. Theres a lot of stuff from the 90s to today that I think you'd really dig and there's a lot of sub genres to cover (ska punk, skate punk, hardcore, etc.) Try out Bad Religion, Less Than Jake, Lagwagon, NOFX, the Suicide Machines, PEARS, Strung Out, and Descendants.
Man... so many from Lagwagon, Nofx, Less Than Jake, Bad Religiom, Strung Out, etc. "Your Silence" by The Suicide Machines was such an intense, impactful song for me.
Y’all HAVE to put “Caress me down” on the list PLEASE!!!!! I’m dying to see ur reaction to that one
They have Punk songs as well as combo Punk/Reggae songs. I saw them twice before Bradley died.
Sublime is everything!
Seconed hand smoke and 40oz are fantastic albums. Grew up on those albums. SoCal life.
I have listed to Sublime since the 90s, and never noticed this until I started watching reaction videos on them. Most of their songs lyrics usually have a negative connotation or are about some negative subject matter. However its always set to the most feel good type of music that just gives good vibes.
If I remember correctly their acoustic version of the song "Pool Shark" Bradley basically predicts his death.
April 29, 1992 by Sublime is a MUST!
The Clash - The Guns Of Brixton, PJ Harvey - Sheela Na Gig, Jane's Addiction - Mountain Song.
The intro is Brad tape recording the atmosphere in a bar.
Badfish is somebody who is a drug pusher and Nowell got hooked on Heroin in 1992.
He lyrically sings about his addiction on these other songs:
-Work That We Do
-Poolshark
-New Song
-Same In The End
-Ballad of Johnny Butt
-STP
Sublime and Brad Nowell is one of the most criminally underrated bands.
Nobody cross pollinated musical genres like them.
This guy could play guitar like a "Motha F*ckin Riot!"
Timeless music...
one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands broken down by one of my favorite youtube channels
thanks, y'all
Some of my favorite Sublime songs are actually cover songs: Jailhouse (Bob Marley and the Wailers), 54-46, That's My Number (Toots & The Maytals), Scarlet Begonias (Grateful Dead). Don't think they are just straight up covers tho, they all very much have the distinct Sublime vibe to them.
His song Pool Shark is about his addiction. It's short. But really good
Love yall
My favorite Sublime song... even though somehow- they are all my favs. POOL SHARK! Also Bad's Marley Medley is epic.
My favorite Sublime song! You really should "dive deep" into their catalog. Pawn Shop, April 26th 1992, 40 0z To Freedom, Date Rape, to name a few.
It's about time!!! Sublime it one of the best bands of all time!!!
LOVE THEM!
The Toasters came up in the 2 Tone Ska of the early 1980s. Their song "2 Tone Army" is about the Black people and White People coming together as just people. Human beings just being human❤ The Toasters are still very active, and skanking🤘
I love this song this is gonna be a good one
Nailed the meaning fellas! Been a Sublime for 25 years. Don't sleep on em!
Sublime - garden grove !!!
Would love to see your reaction of Wrong way by Sublime too
I’m getting the Sublime sun tattoo done by Opie Ortiz himself next Friday! Badfish is also my favorite song haha
I love this song.
RHCP- Don't Stop
Probably mean Can’t Stop but I agree
Gotta check out Chomp 2. Just came out an hour ago. Absolutely crazy feature list. Snoop, The Game, Big Sean, Joey Badass, Papoose and so many others.
Sublime is my childhood, I love all their shit
7:45 "it reminds me of don't worry be happy"
Come on man.😆
I love Sublime ,they're so diverse and the music has so many "Moods" that you can discover lots ofstuff everytime you play something by them , I suggest you to listen and react to "Wrong Way" or "APril 29th 1992" for their self titled album , plus you can check out a band from England called The Skints ,they mix reggae with rock ,rnb, hip hop ,great band !
Super diverse. They can rip off Yellowman and Bob Marley equally well
One of my favorites of their songs! You could also check out "Seed" from their self-titled album. It's short but it goes from really aggressive punk to a super cool Reggae rock and then a nice ska groove very abruptly (I know you guys aren't fans of really sudden transitions but I love the way they did it in that song).
I listened to lot of Reggae when I started playing bass, particularly Peter Tosh where he had Robbie Shakespeare was FIRE on bass. Like the music of that classic Reggae feel, Eric Wilson lays down some serious grooves for Sublime. For a 3-piece, it's all important, and even more so in Sublime since Bradley didn't play much when he was singing. The whole self-titled album is great and each track is worth a listen.
Santeria, What I Got and Doin Time are a better representation of Sublime as a whole. Phenomenal group.
Santeria is an epic tune!
And The Wrong Way too
All commercial tracks boo so much better songs on robbin the hood
Check out SRV - Couldn´t stand the weather live at Austin City Limits, 1989, the solos and the groove will blow your mind.
If you love the genre, check out Stick Figure. Basically anything off 'Set in Stone'. Dude behind Stick Figure, Scott Woodruff, is an absolute genius. Produces his own and some stuff for others as well.
RIP Bradley
My top 5 Sublime picks you should react to (and probably haven't heard before): 1. Seed, 2. Date Rape, 3. Wrong Way, 4. The ballad of Johnny Butt, 5. Jailhouse
some of my best memories were chillin at the lake being like 16.. got that girl you got a crush on with you.. puffin a little bit of weed with sublime playing.. fuck man. life was so simple back then. Hardest decisions were to decide if you want to make a move or not.. now its about 401k allocation, buy a home or rent, how's my health, who do I vote for, did I pay the water bill this month? Fuck.. if you are young and read this.. embrace bros.. embrace it.
this song is all about addiction Brad Knowles is asking are you a bad fish 2 I wish I never learned yes its all about any addiction if you've had any you could relate it's beautiful
George - here’s some 90’s ska for you. I’ll be very surprised if many people know these songs, let alone the bands, but trust me, these are all top notch selections.
Song Band
Relation - Hepcat
I Still Love You - The Slackers
Take It From The Top - The Planet Smashers
Change Up - The Skalars
You Take Me - Let’s Go Bowling
I Wasn’t Going To Call You Anyway - The Toasters
Wandering Soul - Bim Skala Bim
New Realization is my favorite Sublime tune…
And by the way, his voice is super on point as u guys would probably agree
Great reaction, guys! Please check out "No Place for Disgrace" by the band Flotsam and Jetsam! It's the title track from their 2nd album released in 1988, and it's about Japanese Samurai warriors. Jason Newsted formed this band before joining Metallica in 1986 after Cliff Burton (bassist) died in a bus accident. Flotsam and Jetsam are still going strong. They released their 14th album in June. Thanks!
Yes, please! More SUBLIME
Bro Hymm - Pennywise....must listen
Out of all of their songs, you think George and Ryan’s intro to them, should be a chant?
It’s not just a chant. It’s an homage to a lost friend. The song is about a brotherhood. I honestly get pretty emotional when I hear that song. It’s just been turned into an anthem due to the catchy chorus.
@@antoniomanocchi8595 Jason, as I’m sure you know, wasn’t just a friend, he was the original bass player. I have original copies of about time and full circle on cassette that I don’t listen to anymore, know anyone that might be interested? 😁
this is my favorite sublime song
Y’all spot on, it’s definitely about his addiction.
One ofbthe best sublime songs and also one of their most punk rock type of songs you guys have to check out, "Same in the end"
Woooo Sublime! Hope they check out more of their music
The story is a parallel of the struggles of getting past the break in surfing and his struggles with heroin. When the surf is big you go deep under the waves sometime deep enough to grab the reef. Also the reef is under his bed. The reef is where the break is and can be stressful and the reef is the escape.
40oz to freedom is by far Sublime's best album. Check out some of those tracks. Waiting for my Ruca, Scarlet Begonias... there's a ton
Love this song... Love this album!
So many greater songs from the band. I hope you got down a Sublime rabbit hole. Pawn Shop or April 26, 1992.
You guys gotta react to Less Than Jake - The Science of Selling Yourself Short
Maaaaannnnn I practically forgot Sublime existed! They were so good. You guys should check out Wrong Way or Caress Me Down
Pure vibes
The soundtrack of my 20’s one of my girlfriends dated the Drummer and is in the video
