"Santeria" / "What I Got" live?? — by George Harris — last modified Oct 17, 2010 12:42 AM

Question: So i haven't asked a question here forever, but for some reason i remember you (or one of the other experts) saying to someone (or maybe me, i forget) that they never played santeria or lincoln highway dub live. well... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hz6597pXCA8&feature=related also, i somehow stumbled upon some clip of them doing "what i got" live (got to about 4:03) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrpZGTzvbjA&feature=PlayList&p=0F654DD307E29A61&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=66 i had no idea until recently that they ever played either of these live. anyway, if you could hook me up w/ links to 4/29/92, paddle out, burritos, under my voodoo, or doin time (the only s/t songs i haven't heard them do live) that'd be sick. thanks man.

"Doin' Time" - Tricked Out Life Sentence Remix — by George Harris — last modified Sep 11, 2010 10:38 AM

Question: Hey GMan! I have a question for you about the Doin' Time Bootleg Tricked Out Life Sentence Remix. There are lyrics I haven't heard before. Near the end he sings "Ticka ticka tock I'm in the pen, I'll tell it to you gentlemen..." and so on. Then after a bit he starts "I get on..." 3 piece harmony, yadda yadda. Is this the only track where these lyrics can be heard? It would be nice to hear em' without the remix. Thanks!!

old tour dates — by George Harris — last modified Sep 11, 2010 11:01 AM

Question: hey gman! first of all, what you do here and on your site is awesome, and i'm sure brad would appreciate you keeping sublime alive. i've spent much of my short life with sublime. i first heard them at age 8, and since then i've proceeded to learn almost all of their songs on guitar, bass, and drums. as a guitarist of 6 years, brad has greatly inspired me musically and emotionally. i don't know what it is, but i feel such a strong connection to him/his music even though he passed away when i was 1. i was browsing the internet the other day looking for old sublime tour dates, and i was wondering if they ever played a show in baltimore. thanks again for being awesome and keeping sublime alive!

Sublime Posters? — by George Harris — last modified Sep 11, 2010 10:38 AM

Sublime singing in Spanish???........ — by George Harris — last modified Aug 31, 2010 12:43 PM

Question: Hi GMan I have this huge question that is bugging me and I can't find an answer, my question is why does Sublime sing in Spanish? Is it that a group member is part Latin, do they love the Spanish language or did they have major influence from friends/culture since they are from California and there is a major Latin community or what is the reason behind singing some of there songs in Spanish? I must say lead vocalist, Bradley, sings very well in spanish and even knows the idioms from Mexican Spanish.

Brad's personality? — by George Harris — last modified Apr 11, 2010 02:10 PM

Question: Hey GMan, just before I began I want to say what an awesome site you have going here for all the sublime fans! Just a quick question on Brad's personality generally when you knew him back in the day. In interviews Brad appears very extrovert and in his lyrics reflect a party-animal attitude, ie "What Happened". However other sources describe Brad as introvert and shy. I was hoping you could clear these things up with your own personal experience from knowing Brad. Thanks man

Sublime's "Live Shooter" Bootleg? — by George Harris — last modified May 15, 2010 01:16 AM

Question: Hey GMan. Do you know which shows the live recordings on the Shooter bootleg are from? Which tracks are from which show etc.? Thanks man

Sublime-Santeria? — by admin — last modified Feb 08, 2010 12:16 AM

Question: Hey gman, I was just curious about Santeria, is there a live recording of the band w/ Brad playing it anywhere? A link perhaps? What a great song among many many great songs. I know it was Lincoln Hway dub and all that, but I've never heard or wawtched a live recording of Santeria w/ Brad singing it. He died shortly after the self titled album released but I figure there is a ecording out there somewhere. Thanks, probably have some other questions at some point if thats cool, as I am a big Sublie fan since I was about 14 (about 1995 or so.)

What's really Goin' wrong origin? — by admin — last modified Feb 08, 2010 12:45 AM

Question: The song "What's really goin' wrong" opens up talking up talking about our last movie....what does this refer to? This song is very out of place for Sublime recordings. Where was this recorded, when and who else was featured w/ backup vocals and percussion?

Sublime in 1987? — by admin — last modified Feb 08, 2010 12:45 AM

Question: What was happening in Sublime-land in 1987? I've always thought that they met and first started playing together in '88. Any thoughts on this? And, oh yeah, how do you get your hands on a copy of C003?

What album is this?? — by admin — last modified Feb 08, 2010 12:48 AM

Question: I have this sublime cd, and i have no idea what its called. The cover art is a spitting image of 40 oz to freedom except for a couple of minor details. 40 oz..does not appear anywhere on the cover art and "sublime" is not blocked in like it is on the 40oz cd. The tracklisting is completely different as well. It contains 19 tracks, 11 of those are from 40oz and the remaining 8 tracks appear to be from robbin' the hood.

Alternate Takes in Austin Texas/Self-Titled Picture — by admin — last modified Feb 08, 2010 12:44 AM

Question: When Sublime was recording there 3rd album "Sublime", were there any songs that werent released like just them messing around in the studio or b-sides not on secondhand smoke or everything under the sun. And the picture off Brads back on the album, was that the picture they were orginally going to use even before they changed it from killin' it?

Question about Get Ready & Crazy/Foolish Fool — by admin — last modified Feb 08, 2010 12:44 AM

Question: Hey G-man just wanted your expert opinion. I had somebody tell me that the song Get Ready was originally Foolish Fool & he also said that brad changed Foolish Fool Lyrics Because they were weak and that Foolish Fool then became Get Ready. To your knowledge Is there any truth to this statement because i think they are 2 totally different songs & I thought that foolish fool was originally called crazy fool then they changed name on box set. Thanks! Hit me back!

Question: I was wondering if you have any information on the Pure Anus boot. From what I have read this is studio material. Do you have any idea when/where this stuff was recorded? Also was this boot actually pressed or just passed around as CD-Rs?

German 40 Oz cd?? — by admin — last modified Feb 08, 2010 12:52 AM

Question: Can you give me some info about the German version of 40 Oz To Freedom? I think the one I'm talking about is the Community pressing one, but I'm not completely sure. I know the writing on the disk is in a spiral, and there is no parental advisory. How rare are these and where could I get one? Thanks!

Sublimes 40 oz pressings — by admin — last modified Feb 08, 2010 12:54 AM

Question: I just bought one of the 40 oz to freedom cd's off of ebay. I was wondering which pressing this cd was and how rare it is, if at all, also the value of it. Since it is different then MCA recordings.

Specifically, what is your affiliation with the band? — by admin — last modified Feb 08, 2010 12:56 AM

Question: Hey GMan, I love your forum and I am stoked to read through the many questions that you've answered. I am curious of your relationship with the band, in paticular with Bradley. How did you meet him? I assume you were a part of the band's entourage. I am beyond curious about the history of the best band ever! I promise more questions will follow.

Prophet (demo) — by admin — last modified Feb 08, 2010 12:58 AM

Question: Ok, GMAN so you might not know this answer and their may be no answer to this but in the end of the song Prophet (Everything Under the Sun Disc 2), Brad says "That was so Sick!, dude this song needs to be re-fuckin' thought out." Was this song ever "re-fuckin' thought out" or did it just stay as a Demo? Personally this is one of my favorites, it just seems like it could have gone far. I know Slightly covered it but can you give me any more info?? BTW....Reppin' Sublime in Lincoln, NE all day.

Songs Band didn't like... — by admin — last modified Feb 08, 2010 12:59 AM

Question: So I know that Sublime really didn't like to play Date Rape cause it got overplayed at one point....and I know they were not the kind of band or people in general who wanted it to be that overplayed...but anyways...what are some other songs that they didn't like to play??? Oh and I missed seeing Eric at Knickerbockers in Lincoln with Stone Wing, I was bummed.
