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

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"

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

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
