Reunion

I deleted the part about the reunion, the cited source ad nothing to back it up, plus all the replacements for Nowell it listed were pure speculation on the site's part. I'd wait until an official announcement came through from Gaugh, Wilson, or MCA before adding it to the article 71.238.28.108 (talk) 18:00, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. It would be a good idea to wait until something happens. I can 95% agree that this is all spectulation and doubt that the reunion rumors are true. Alex (talk) 21:05, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

it keeps popping up, I'll keep an eye on it, but more than likely it's all rumor and doesn't belong here71.238.28.108 (talk) 08:01, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My thoughts exactly. I have the Sublime page on my watchlist, so I'll keep track of who keeps adding the reunion rumors too. Alex (talk) 15:49, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

former members

yo momma "Although many reggae purists refuse to accept Sublime as an integral part of reggae history, Sublime has undoubtedly played a large part in the re-emergence of reggae in mainstream music, as they were perhaps the most widespread and prolific reggae-incorporating act since Bob Marley."

I don't know how it needs to be fixed as I'm not sure about the original author's intention, but that Although at the beginning of the sentence is missing a counterweight on the other end of the sentence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.86.106.46 (talk) 04:55, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

ska=punk?

Sublime is constantly classified as a ska-punk band but I get the impression that this is because Southern California was chockfull of such bands at the time. If forced to define Sublime, they are much closer to reggae - the ubiquitous one drop drum beat, the rhythm strokes on the 2 and the 4, the deep basslines, etc. Would anyone object if I changed the label? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stylee (talk • contribs) 03:35, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ska punk does not belong in Sublime's genres, since all of or almost all of their music has absolutely no punk characteristics or influences. They're barely even ska, but I can see them being labeled as ska. Their genres are more like reggae, hip hop, and ska. I'm gonna add hip hop and reggae for right now. If I need to later I'll bring in a source. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.220.254.182 (talk) 05:23, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

skankable?

In the section entitled "Legacy," Sublime's music is described as "skankable." Clever and evocative though it may be, I am not sure I know exactly what the word means. Not having even appeared yet on Urban Dictionary, this word may be too obscure for Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.74.222.145 (talk) 04:14, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Link to Badfish (band)

Where could we put this? It has a "no links to this article" tag, and it's the best-known Sublime tribute band in existance. TheDavesr 15:44, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

ok skankable means you could skank to it. skanking is a type of dance people do to ska. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.23.218.28 (talk) 15:47, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sublime album

Shouldn't an album that is certified 5x multi-platinum (5x2 million) be called a 'Diamond' album (10 million)?? Msjayhawk (talk) 02:47, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tried to fix

Sorry, I tried to fix this paragraph, but it was just too poorly written (spelling mistakes, an unprofessional writing style, and information that isn't exactly important imo) so I deleted it:

"Their eclectic style of...everything which changes from one moment of melodic grooves to an eruption of distorted madness. Some beleive the bands style can be best perceived through the song Get Out! remixed on their posthemus release of Second Hand Smoke (originally on the first releases of 40 oz. to Freedom."

pictures.

are needed. for shame. Lockeownzj00 21:58, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

This is the best I can do:

Some believe the band's style can be best perceived through the song Get Out!, which was remixed on their postumous release of Second Hand Smoke. Get Out! was originally going to be on 40 oz. to Freedom, but when MCA picked there back cd's up for reissue it was cut due to a Led Zepplein sample. That sample is not in the remix.

robbin' the hood was a major label release?

hmm, i'm pretty sure that it was only reissued by MCA and originally released on Skunk. hmm, allmusic.com seems to back me up on that.

SUBLIME IS AWESOME!!!

SUBLIME IS HORRIBLE!!!

Headline text

Many have tryed to copy SUBLIME, but no one can capture the feeling

...listen to Pepper if you want a great band that has similar sound to Sublime

Pepper is a decent band, but comes no where near the variety of musical styles Sublime incorporated.

Hip Hop

I've added Hip-Hop to their list of genres, since they were influenced a lot by it and this shows alot in many of their songs. - User:Tricklin

and why is only there rock infulances listed????

_kid_

no woman no cry

why arent there details on the sublime cover of no woman no cry?

that was actually by a band called Murder One. it's commonly mislisted online.

why is "badfish" redirected to "sublime"?

?

There's a popular Sublime song called "Badfish". —alxndr (t) 16:34, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

its my favorate song dude

Why "Sublime and the College Crowd"?

Is it just me or is the section entitled "Sublime and the College Crowd" rather asinine? I believe someone should remove it, but I won't do it unilaterally. TuckerResearch 17:02, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Smoke Two Joints

"Smoke Two Joints" should not be under the section of songs by Sublime that were covered by other artists, since it is originally a Bob Marley song, as indicated by the list of songs which Sublime covered (confusing enough for you?). Removed. BTW, the two "songs covered" sections seen kinda pointless and confusing too me. Do they really warrant inclusion?

It was a Toyes song.

Could someone please identify the style

Could someone identify the style of singing that the guy does at the beginning of Caress Me Down? The word I saw in one of the articles was "gruff vocals" but I figure there must be a more precise term. Thanks! Avast matey! 05:29, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That could be called 'dancehall'.

Possible Copyvio Issues

It looks like the second and third paragraphs of the History section are almost verbatim copies from the AllMusicGuide page for Sublime. I'll blank them for now and let people more knowledgeable with the page address as they see fit.Cool moe dee 345 14:34, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Okay - scratch that. The section just looks ridiculous if I blank it, so I'll leave it this way for the time being with the justification that having something that makes even a little bit of sense is a virtue worth waiting for somebody to fix the issues. I'll check back in a couple of days to see if the problems have been resolved.Cool moe dee 345 14:36, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it's been a while and there's been no movement by anybody more knowledgeable about the group, so I went ahead and just stripped out the worst of the material (word for word copy from AMG, and you can clearly see the copyright notice at the bottom of the screen if you visit the site, even if it wasn't plagarism). If somebody wants to rewrite what I removed and reference AMG, I expect that would be fine. The page in question, assuming that this link works, is at the AllMusicGuide Website on the band.Cool moe dee 345 13:08, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Long Beach Dub Allstars

Didn't LBDA break up a coupl of years ago?

Members

I'm pretty sure that a dog shouldnt be included in the members list.

Well... The first sound on the first track of their first album is donated by Lou...

don't be a douche, the band considered the dog an honorary member and its in all of their videos and sometimes barks in their songs, just let it go —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.97.185.35 (talk) 02:06, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

LOU DOG IS TOTALLY PART OF THE BAND

Haha. in a way you're right....he performed on stage with brad bud and eric....any other opinions? I agree. Add the dog to list of members. —Preceding unsigned comment added by M4390116 (talk • contribs) 01:31, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, no he's not. A mascot wouldn't be part of the band, which is what he essentially was. If there's any video of him playing an instrument or contributing aside from the occasional bark, than by all means include it.Tithonfury (talk) 21:33, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

messed up link on rewind selector

if you search rewind selector, it redirects to sublime page. if you then click "list of sublime bootlegs", rewind selector is only showed as a link and it doesn't list songs. the link directs back to the sublime page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by M4390116 (talk • contribs) 08:35, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Member names

I guess the order of the members' name under the picture is incorrect. Now it's "Brad Nowell, Bud Gaugh, and Eric Wilson.". It should be "Bud Gaugh, Brad Nowell and Eric Wilson.". —Preceding unsigned comment added by ATIHUN (talk • contribs) 10:45, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is the Reunion a Hoax?

It would be hard to believe Bud Gaugh, Eric Wilson, and a new singer would perform as a reunion of Sublime. Bud Gaugh and Eric Wilson said that Sublime had died with Brad. It would be more likely that they would reunite under Long Beach Dub Allstars or another name. This sounds more like a publicity stunt from The Bamboozle. There is a slight possibility for a reunion under of Sublime, but I don't think this rumor should be taken seriously until more evidence is available. I would recommend that this topic be deleated from Sublime's Wikipedia page. Any objections? Integrals97 (talk) 02:21, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's what I thought. I can honestly tell that the rumors of Sublime reuniting are about 95% fake. Brad was one of the members responsible for forming this band, and has been one of the members of Sublime as important as Bud and Eric. Maybe we should just remove the whole reunion section, until we find out whether or not there's actual proof about reuniting with a new singer as Sublime, or that it's just fake. Alex (talk) 03:28, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you don't mind, Alex, I had to restore the reunion section after I read this article on Distortedmagazine.com about Sublime getting a new singer. 71.130.209.255 (talk) 21:58, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
