Did you buy a Sublime album in the '90s?

My mind is constantly blown that I owned two of their albums at one point in my life. How is that at all possible?

my brother had one, but i listened to it maybe once so i don't think that counts (and there are plenty of his albums i listened to so many times that i'd count them)

I could never and still can't figure out why so many people like(d) them. AWFUL

I copied mine onto a C-90 in '97. My sister owned it.

Least despicable Sublime single

The eponymous one is okay to good; I just don't want to hear it again.

No, but I did see the Long Beach Dub All Stars @ the Warped tour the year they were on it. Huge contact high.

they were the biggest band in the world in the South Bay circa 1996. it was terrible. actually come to think of it, they might still be the biggest band in the South Bay to this day.

i gotta give them credit for being the only mainstream alt-rock band to ever claim The Minutemen as an influence who actually sound like The Minutemen. that's about all i'll give them credit for, though.

Like all my alt-leaning friends totally fucked with this band for a hot minute in 1995-1997, and now they are 100% OFF LIMITS. WTF happened?

never liked this band, never bought any of their albums, but i find them hard to hate

tempted to lead a revival of this band, partly because i can still sing the self-titled album from start to finish from memory

nice guys, had fun drinking with them at a totally failed show attended by 14 people before date rape became a hit. lead singer was a terrible fuck-up, but a genuinely nice guy that would prob be really annoyed by the way he/they have been marketed to the frat boy set posthumously.

xpost: oh yeah i also still really like the first album

"i gotta give them credit for being the only mainstream alt-rock band to ever claim The Minutemen as an influence who actually sound like The Minutemen. that's about all i'll give them credit for, though."

Huh? I never heard much minutemen or sublime but whuh? present songs as evidence for comparison please.

it's more audible on the guitar/bass/drums stuff on the albums than the more hip hop/ska influenced radio hits but it's super audible at times.

I owned every legit Sublime release in the 1990s plus several cd-rs of bootleg material, including a full tape of Raleigh Theodore Sakers rants (as excerpted on Robbin' The Hood).

before date rape became a hit.

is this the name of a song or

At present I still own 40 oz. to Freedom and Robbin' The Hood. I find about 30% of this to still be listenable.

goole:

1) loooool
2) it's linked here: Least despicable Sublime single

I'm not sure if I have ever heard any song by Sublime, but I certainly have never heard an album.

i bought 40 oz to freedom in the late 90s, when i was 13 or 14. I have since sold it.

Probably got mine for free. Still have it. Haven't played it in a while, though.

Sublime were never at all popular in Britain tho.

OK, no British people vote in this plz.

you guys start a poll about Carter USM or something

the only mainstream alt-rock band to ever claim The Minutemen as an influence who actually sound like The Minutemen

Do Primus claim the Minutemen as an influence? (Not saying they necessarily sound like them, but I can imagine them sounding at least as much like them sometimes as Sublime do sometimes.)

I was the biggest Primus stan from 1993-1999 and I've never heard them mention it.

geographically speaking, i'd imagine that any punk band from Long Beach at that time would be at least aware, if not really into, the minutemen.

as for sublime actually sounding like the minutemen, ummmm ...

xxpost

It would actually make sense though with the whole repping your nowheresville California town and its inhabitants in lyrics all day (Minutemen, San Pedro; Primus, El Sobrante)

LOL, RG

Frizzle Fry [Caroline, 1990]
Don Knotts Jr. joins the Minutemen ("Mr. Knowitall," "Spegetti Western") *

I have guitar world from 96(?) that has a joint interview w/Claypool & Watt. IIRC, they spend a lot of time praising each other.

the sloppy 40 oz to freedom could me minutemeny if you replace sun ra with lee perry and television with descendents

i'm not good w/ song titles but there are some where Nowell is totally doing some D. Boon-style blurting and abrupt soloing and the rhythm section does little tempo changes.

do they sound more like minutemen than red hot chili peppers?

point isn't that Sublime sounded totally like the Minutemen 24/7, just that they showed the influence more overtly than, say, anyone else who was talking them up in the mid-90s or appearing on Ball Hog Or Tugboat?

xpost - yes they do

don't think i bought any. my brother did and i would steal his all the time tho. tbh i think their singles are all pretty awful (save 'doin time') but esp. on the first album it's some pretty decent ska. i never listen to them but i don't hate hate 'em. i pretty much have no interest in hearing the s/t ever again tho

i gotta give them credit for being the only mainstream alt-rock band to ever claim The Minutemen as an influence who actually sound like The Minutemen.

That's really funny. I enjoy a ton of '80s SST and indie/punk stuff but actually have never liked/enjoyed the Minutemen. Why? Back in college, I played Double Nickels and for some reason it reminded me of Sublime et al.

Maybe I wasn't far off base, if I'm not the only one to notice...

they were the biggest band in the world in the South Bay circa 1996. it was terrible. actually come to think of it, they might still be the biggest band in the South Bay to this day.

Dude, The Carpenters!

I've never heard of Sublime, must be an American thing.

it kinda hurts my heart to see the minutement dragged into this.

ug minuteMEN

Good fucking lord no.

every good band influences bad bands, it's not dragging anyone's name through the mud to point it out

never liked this band, never bought any of their albums, but i find them hard to hate

^^^^

xpost
the Minutemen are the Faith No More to Sublime's Papa Roach

no

def seems like a case of them being superpopular and revered amongst a certain set causing certain other people to overreact to them in a negative way.

It's just a case of their big hits being super annoying (and unfortunately briefly omnipresent.) Also hating dudes wearing cargo shorts.

Fuck no, dude. And I own all kinds of humiliating crap.

they were the biggest band in the world in the South Bay circa 1996. it was terrible. actually come to think of it, they might still be the biggest band in the South Bay to this day.

I walked by some bar at hermosa beach yesterday and I could hear some sublime cover band inside

there's a sublime cover band in providence

their message is universal

what is their name: Santiera?

I probably know all of the lyrics to the sublime songs that got radio play

sry

i live on the east coast and "badfish: a tribute to sublime" plays a biggish venue around here seemingly multiple times a year

it seems to me that a more accurate predecessor for Sublime is Fishbone, not Minutemen.

badfish are from pvd

we are so proud

Badfish does the same down here on the Gulf Coast too.

I always saw sublime as propagating that red hot chili peppers / fishbone alternafunk mess

minutemen didn't really cross my mind

do you think they ever played around for a few months as "date rape: a tribute to sublime" or "caress me down: a tribute to sublime"?

"I always saw sublime as propagating that red hot chili peppers / fishbone alternafunk mess

minutemen didn't really cross my mind"

Hate to say that Minuteman were (along with the Gang of Four) one of the biggest influences on that mess.

Gang Of Four was a big influence on the Peps.

Don't lump Fishbone and RHCP in with Sublime, guys, come on

hmmm....who writes more retarded lyrics? keidis or brad?

tough call^

Keidis is bad, but BRAD is uggggghhhhh

oh come on, that is not a tough call at all

RHCP didn't become unforgivably retarded until 1996! They have like an 11-year span of greatness before becoming a hollow self-parody.

No, I mean, RHCP lyris have always been ridiculous

But compare

Now while I shower in the rain
I watch my dolphin swim away
The one who listens to the surf
Can feel the pulse beat of the earth
And like my dolphin swims so free
The sun does swim into the sea

vs.

DATE RAPE STYLEE!

sorry, I was responding to M@tt

"They have like an 11-year span of greatness before becoming a hollow self-parody."

Blech.

really doe?

You could be from park ave
Or from a park bench
You could be a politican
Or a bitchy princess
But if you're lookin' for a fist
And you're lookin' to unite
Put your knuckleheads together
Make a fist and fight
Not to your death
And not to your grave
I'm talking about that freedom
Fight like a brave

yeah, RHCP lyrics were always bad, dude

but Sublime lyrics are on a total other level

wait but whiney, did you just call the red hot chili peppers the "peps"? i thought u were from long island not long beach?

I'm gonna ride a sabertooth horse
Through the Hollywood hills

this is not stupid, it is awesome

i had a big peppers stage from 1992-1999, so i've earned the reight to say peps

i liked One Hot Minute at one point

too far

i mean, overall though i should say that yeah peppers destroy sublime, they have some joints u can't front on.

it should really go without saying

"I always saw sublime as propagating that red hot chili peppers / fishbone alternafunk mess

minutemen didn't really cross my mind"

Oh jesus there are some egregious mistranslations in that...

i gotta say w'sup

The first sample on 40 oz. is a Minutemen sample though, for what it's worth.

big drill car!

I was a massive Peps booster from '85 through '96; I stepped off that train with One Hot Minute (although Mother's Milk did make me consider hopping off, Blood Sugar Sex Magik pulled me back on).

Mother's Milk >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Blood Sugar Sex Semen Blah blah blah

"knock me down" is lovely

Stop saying Peps. It's creeping me out.

relax with peps

yeah, people actually refer to them as the Peps?

I was curious earlier what a minutemen-like sublime song sounded like but

"hey up to jimi hendrix, to beer, the sonic lizard, the rape man. how about bob marley, bob dobbs, and bob forrest. to all those punker sluts. to eek-a-mouse. tom for lettin' us practice and crashin'. chilli part all night. peni, fugazi, rhino '59, greek1, the last puriah's, and naomis' hair. how about the butthole surfers, and frank zappa. aunt bea, big drill car, bert suzanka, and all the ziggens' around the world."

now I am no longer curious.
maybe still curious about which sugar ray song sounds like wire.

"Peps" was the "AnCo" of its time

hey up to jimi hendrix, to beer, the sonic lizard, the rape man.

someone listen to this song and write what he really says here.

Mother's Milk has "Magic Johnson" on it, which I thought was irredeemably stupid even for them (as opposed to endearingly stupid, like "Get Up And Jump" or "Catholic School Girls Rule").

l.a. lakers fast break makers kings of the court shake n' bake all takers!

lol, i've never heard that song, but now i kind of want to, as a die-hard Magic-era Lakers fan. Looks like it sums up the singular excitement of a fast break very nicely!

"knock me down" is lovely

― Domm P))) (M@tt He1ges0n), Monday, May 4, 2009 2:08 PM

yeah mother's milk was weird but knock me down is fire

the deal with magic johnson was you saw that on the tracklist of this new red hots record and you were all like omg this is going to be just the most awesome thing since my dingaling and then haha no see it really is about magic johnson because we are from la lol

It has its place now, but at the time I was incredibly po-faced about what I wanted from my RHCP songs (lol 16-year-olds).

too much peps talk on this 'blime thread, bros.

yes i did just post that because i wanted to make the quasi-pun "peps talk".

lets talk about what other bands had pet mascots

Sugar Ray and that fucking bulldog in the mid 90s

that nu-metal band snot.

neil young had a dog named "art" that was sorta famous

DMX had his pit bulls

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/64/Get_some.jpg

i owned this album.

the beatles used to carry actual beetles around

lol angeles radio_0 in the 90s

the golden years

there is no poll option for "inherited a CD from a housemate who left it in my CD player once & proceeded to occasionally play the kinda dub track about looting musical equipment during the LA riots & yeah, I probably still have it tucked away in a CD book somewhere."

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

what a thread

Just remembered an interview with the surviving members in While You Were Sleeping mag. One of them referred to their interviewers - a pair of petite blondes - as "spinners".

One of the few bands I have any real hatred for, surely related to both the sheer number of people I knew who thought that dude was some sort of genius and a particular ex-girlfriend's love of the band. Not the best reasons I know but what can you do...

I got a free one and I still have it.

I got a CD single cause it had a remix feat. Pharcyde. Still have it.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Had I been born a few years later, would my 1995 Sublime fandom been 1999 ICP fandom? I think yes.

78 liars.

Yeah, these results are baffling to me. Everyone I knew had a Sublime album, even the dorkz.

The fish'n'chips contingent must be strong in this one.

High five to the four other people who have since sold that shit

Whats up Y'ALL? I'm "BACK IN BLACK"...

and I'm KICKIN' it into HIGH GEAR right here!!!!
Let's get back to the business of:
..."ALL SUBLIME ALL THE TIME".....
A fool went ahead and dug into the vaults to bring you one of THE most sought after "sublime" collectables around!
IT'S THE LONG OOP, "CASSETTE" RELEASE FROM THE BAND THAT THEY CALL
"sublime"
KNOWN AS THE:
.....!!!! BLACK !!!!.....

FIRST PRESS

"40 oz. to Freedom"

cassette!

_____________________________________________________________________________________

..... SOOOOO RARE !! .....

_____________________________________________________________

Having said that,....Let's have a look at this Bad Boy!!,...Time's a wastin'!!.....
P.S. Click on ANY of my pictures to get the SUPERSIZED view...

***By the way,....There is no "barcode" to be found on this cassette; as they were never sold in stores. These are the "Trunk of their cars" cassettes !! Sublime gave these out at shows,.. to Bros, Music Shops, Sold them at gigs or where ever they could, etc. !! ***
***THIS CASSETTE RELEASE WAS MADE PRIOR TO THE "CD" PRESSING OF "40 oz. to Freedom" & I HAVE HEARD THAT IT WAS A LIMITED PRESSING OF 250 MADE!!!!!!!!***
Check this sucka out.....SICK, TO SAY THE VERY LEAST!!!
Check this sh*t out!!!....

**I don't think that I really need to go on about how cool (Or RARE!!) this cassette is,..just the fact that it's sublime and from 1992', speaks for itself, however I will tell you this......

**These cassettes were mostly handed out at shows with the exception of some being given to friends, family, etc.,...and I don't know about you,...but if you were at a sublime show back then, you know what I mean when I tell you that not a lot of these "survived"!
Take a look for yourself at the CLOSE-UPS of this cassette!

....Absolutely CRAZY!!, huh?..
A little story for Ya'll....

*** This little gem was made by the guys right around the time that they also released the "40 oz." CD, but the killer thing that is on this cassette, THAT WAS/IS NOT ON ANY PRESSING OF THE 40 oz. CD,....is the ***infamous "EXTENDED THANX"!!!***

(As you know, this is at the end of the cassette, BUT, I'm not talking about the "Thanx Dub" from "Second Hand Smoke".)

***The "EXTENDED THANX" are WAY longer & highly sought after by any sublime collector!!!
.....*** This cassette also has the INFAMOUS "Misprint Address" (As it is known by collectors.) of "996 Redondo" , Not sublime's correct address of "966 Redondo" !!!.... Can anyone say: "Bong Load !!??...They forgot THEIR OWN ADDRESS!!!....Purely Sublime~~!!
...And, Finally,...**This cassette contains the Original version of "Get Out", as well as "Rawhide" after "Date Rape"!!

...................................................................

**Another cool thing here (and RARE),.... There is NO BARCODE anywhere to be found on the cassette!...Which means that they didn't sell them in stores... These are the cassettes that were sold by the guys at shows & given away to friends, etc.!! The "Second" pressing of this cassette has a barcode right on the front of the J-Card. "Skunk Records" is all you see here....

Also,... With the previous cassette releases from sublime..."c003" & "Jah Won't Pay The Bills", the members of "sublime" were listed as: Brad, Bud, & Eric.
The names on the Original "40 oz." cassette, however, are not Brad, Bud, and Eric,...rather it has the guys listed as: Texas, Cricket, The Yellow Lover (on Drums); as Bud was in rehab & Kelly Vargas & Marshall contributed most of the drumming on the album.
**This cassette is a MUST for any true hardcore fan of sublime, and if you are just starting,...sh*t,....you couldn't start your collection with a better piece of history!!!
This cassette is in absolutely PERFECT shape; & IT'S 18 YEARS OLD!!!
NOW, for the TRACK LIST (As if you don't know it!!)....

NO WAY YOU HAVE GOTTA BE KIDDING I HAVE NEVER SEEN A PIECE OF PHYSICAL MUSIC WITHOUT A BARCODE THAT WAS SOLD AT A SHOW BEFORE OMG OMG OMG MUST HAVE NOW AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH

Huh - I just found one of these in a box in the basement and was wondering whether to throw it out or just give it to goodwill. Guess I better try to ride the tide of this ebay insanity.

I'm pretty sure mine doesn't have "Trenchtown Rock" on it though, so don't start bombing my webmail, okay guys?

:-o @ that winning bid!

does it have the ***infamous "EXTENDED THANX"!!!***?

My question is, is there a barcode on the tape?

xp: Guess I'll have to sit down and listen to the motherfucker and time it. Getting rich off old Sublime cassettes is no easy task, let me tell you.

Anybody got a tape player?

man, what a repulsive cover:

KICKIN' it into HIGH GEAR right here!!!!

this guy basically rules, i've decided.

plus, he made $300 off a freakin' sublime tape, so he's doing something right.

xp alan - know two people who have that image tattooed on their shoulder

sometimes i sub for a friend's band that plays mostly covers for a college crowd. most of it is cool (blackstreet, phil collins, jay-z) but i kind of hate him for making me learn three sublime songs after all these years (never had a cd btw). at least the beats are pretty fun to play.

Anytime I go to a karaoke bar and see "What I Got" appear on the television screen, I know I don't like the guy holding the microphone.

their drummer was probably the absolute worst drummer to play on any hit song in the 90s.

damn I also owned that snot album once upon a time

I think I had all the Sublime albums in the 90s.

RIP lou dog

I remember performing Date Rape at karaoke night and getting dagger eyes from everybody in the audience.

Sublime had some good songs but the ones they were most famous for were just real fucking boring. if I'd give them a genre it'd be "brocore"

their drummer was probably the absolute worst drummer to play on any hit song in the 90s.

really, why? i've only heard the singles but the beat to santeria doesn't suck.

can't believe i'm arguing about the drummer of sublime in 2010.

i did

but a lot of strange shit went down in the 90s

Yeah not sure if I bought any of these or just made a CDR copy from my friends. I think these were the first pieces of music I ever pirated.

my first night in college i spent chilling in my dorm room with a bunch of kids listening to face to face, pennywise, and the then-new self-titled sublime album

i feel better having made this admission

My thoughts are often haunted at by remembering the girl in my 12th grade history class who did a pretty good video project on famed 1920's aviator Charles Lindbergh, which was all Ken Burns-style black and white footage and sepia tone photos until the end credits where it was vintage footage of airplanes while the music was inexplicably IN SCHOOL DEY NAVER TAUGHT BOUT HAMBURGAH OR STEAK, ELIJAH MUHAMMAD OR THA WELFARE STATE, AND I KNOW BECUZZA KRS-ONE

lol whiney

one of my senior year hs art projects was a "documentary" on hk action cinema that mostly featured pause-button edits of the goriest two-handed-gunplay sequences set to black flag and mdc songs

i feel like i have a pulitzer-worthy thinkpiece in me about what the hell we were all thinking re. 90s ska

kids 10 years from now are gonna be saying the same thing about 00's emo

I got a sublime cd from one of those 10 CDs for 10 cent mail-in 'deals'

TS: 90s ska vs. 90s swing

or maybe two sides of the same shitty coin?

oh man

stories of first days in college are so good

mine was spent lisetning to a bear v. shark album on my computer w/ my roommate

I mean, I have a couple of pennywise and face to face albums on CD. still do.

I bought the self-titled and heard "40 oz..." about a thousand times through friends. Don't even think I sold it, just tossed it away at some point. 12 years old is a strange time in a boy's life.

one of my senior year hs art projects was a "documentary" on hk action cinema that mostly featured pause-button edits of the goriest two-handed-gunplay sequences set to black flag and mdc songs

hah, I did almost the same thing but it was for my senior year english class and there weren't any black flag or mdc songs

also did another 'documentary' that mostly featured gory sequences from dead alive and godzilla smashing buildings

Yes, I did. I still have it. I think.

I did a music video for "Needle and the Damage Done" to a montage of drug use and overdose scenes from various movies. It started with pot and beer scenes from Dazed and Confused and then escalated uncomfortably. I tagged on the long shot of Jim Morrison's grave from the end of The Doors at the end.

i feel like i have a pulitzer-worthy thinkpiece in me about what the hell we were all thinking re. 90s ska

guilt for not listening to gay disco in the early nineties

my first days in college were spent listening to a hellcat records comp
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/0a/GiveEmTheBoot.jpg

I listened to that and I may have also listened to Give em the boot II

i still think the band hepcat is pretty good

http://a1.ec-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/146/fb9e1c704d974080adb796a33137c2f1/l.jpg

i bought so many sublime albums in the 90s. year after year, boire, 41, don't get weird on me babe, the first tindersticks, cure for pain, the blue moods of spain, dirty, just to name a few. there was a band with that name? did i miss something?

Of course I did.

I still sing "dooooooown here at the pawwn SHOP" every time I see one. I still say "GI-Joe Kung-Fu" grip too.

no Sublime, but I did own a 311 album.

Still partial to this opening salvo. I was so disappointed to pick up the CD version and find that "Get Out" had been completely removed.

I bet I could make a decent Sublime playlist, and I'm kinda jonesing for one with this thread being bumped, but I didn't save any of their CDs.

I had some 311 too xp, must say that 311 has aged MUCH worse than Sublime. Cant even go nostalgia trippin' off that shit any more.

totally agreed, though even at the time I kind of knew that 311 sucked.

lol @ the Minutemen break in that cut song

I saw DMC wearing a Sublime shirt once

never bought an album but always liked "What I Got" (the version in the video, not the acoustic strummin' singalong version, fuck that one)

I dug the sublime & gwen stefani collabs

Wow, haven't heard "Ruca" in forever and I still remember lot of the words.

there was great stuff on Robbin the Hood that wasn't the schizophrenic guy rambling or the half-assed dub versions.

Yeah "S.T.P." introduced me to Smokey Robinson.

Heh, me too.

Lol I just remembered whenever the local Sublime cover band played STP all the kids would yell "I'm even learning how to COOK SPEED" RHPS style.

that was what he sang live, iirc.

RHPS?

rocky horror?

sure. i got the third album from the free magazine record club (3rd or 4th time joining) because i don't know why but probably "what i got". didn't like it much and sold it w/in a couple weeks.

Yeah rocky horror. Tho growing up in Gwinnett County no doubt some of those kids had actually learned to cooked meth.

somebody in my facebook feed just unironically posted a youtube to April 29 1992

sorry, i just find it moving.

Yes and I have since sold that shit. But I still like What I Got

i still think the band hepcat is pretty good

haha yeah they were pretty good

you know, one musician I didnt end up seeking out from sublime references was KRS One. What were his teachings on hambugers, steak, elijah muhammed, and the welfare state?

Although I despise them Sublime is one of the bands I think most about. They were unavoidable growing up in the late 90s in Southern California and informed so much of my high school/formative life experiences. I never owned their records but they were ubiquitous at the time.
