They're harmless.

You're actually friends with someone who says, "I am a feminist and I hate men and stuff"? Wow. Well then, your friend might be braindead, if they broadbrush 50% of humans as hate-able, and Sublime is actually pretty popular with a lot of braindead people somehow. And the music is not THAT insightful even though fans seem to think it really is..

Not to say all fans of Sublime are braindead though. Kind of like how, Rage Against the Machine has attracted violent jock asshole kids even though not all of their fans are violent asshole jocks and neither is the band

yeah.. and saying a band sucks because you dont like the sort of fanbase they appeal, sounds like you really dont clue into the fact that anyone can like a band without a preconceived notion of being a "good" or "bad" fan.

Bro Toots gets paid for every record Sublime sells with 5446 on it so shut your mouth, you don't know what you're talking about. Research "mechanical royalties".

They have made far more money because of Sublime, either directly from record sales, or from the natural promotion and increased awareness of an otherwise pretty much forgotten old reggae band.

As far as them playing reggae in general?? OMG they have influences, everybody shit a brick. After all we're all still playing the same 12 notes that fucking Bach was using 400 years ago. Get over it.

Pretty much exactly.

To put this all into perspective - Beastie Boys were the Beatles of 1988-1995; Rob Van Winkle was the Jim Morrison of 1990-Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie; Sublime's Brad Nowell was the Eric Clapton of 1992-1997 (because they both exploit and appropriate "black" music like reggae, blues, etc and their music sucks). "Egg Man" was the Beastie's "Walrus"; "Ice, Ice Baby" rap-metal reinterpretation was Van Winkle's "Light My Fire"; "Santeria" was Sublime's "Tears in Heaven."

If there's sun on your shoulders and Sublime comes on, your instinct should be to crank it up, and order another beer. If that is not your immediate reaction, check your pulse because you're probably dead (or dead on the inside).

@ 74 You're not being harsh enough, anyone who has such strong opinions on not liking the band Sublime is probably not a very fun person to be around period.

40oz was a pretty amazingly original album to come out in 1992. For reference Paul's Boutique and Ice, Ice baby came out the same year. I'd be willing to bet most serious Sublime haters were listening to Ice, Ice Baby that year.

They were kids making music for other kids. They get a bad rap now because they get held to too high a standard. They weren't the best band ever but they certainly weren't awful.

Also to say the lead singer of a band is "stupid" or "talentless" for overdosing seems quite silly. It's always a silly thing to say, but especially given this cities musical history.

I just read all the comments, and the only one that really broke my heart was #53. Thats just harsh.
