according to MRC to Sublime members drummer Bud Gaugh, bassist Eric Wilson and vocalist Bradley Nowell, which will be accepted on his behalf by widow Troy DenDekker and son Jakob Nowell. Virtual Plaque Presentation Ceremony: Plaques will be presented to commemorate over 18 million in album consumption in the U.S. We look forward to continuing to introduce their music to a new generation of fans around the world." "For 25 years, Sublime has been an intrinsic part of the Southern California scene and bringing that lifestyle and brand to a global audience. "It is an absolute honor to represent such an iconic legacy and help create these initiatives to celebrate the 25th anniversary of this undeniably classic album," says Scott Seine, President of Sublime's management company Surfdog/DKM. "A special thanks to all the music fans who have helped to keep my son's musical legacy alive," said Bradley Nowell's father Jim Nowell. "Looking back at the music that was created I didn't realize it then, but I feel very fortunate and blessed to inspire and help people through hard times-through music," bassist Eric Wilson said. "Thank you Brad, Bud, mom, dad, brother & sister." Just look at all the love we've found!!!" The reason why we are still here all over the place every day and in your face is because of you, the fans, and we thank you and love you for this. I know we sure are and I know the fans are too! That is a testament to the fans and their love for the band. And to think – the record label was actually considering canning this thing 25 years ago?! Man, I bet they're glad they didn't. It's such a great feeling to have a connection with our fans this deep. I constantly meet people who tell me that Sublime has helped them through a hard time or has helped them change their lives because of our stories, our music and the messages within our music. "It's really cool, there's not a day that goes by that I do not hear one of our songs on the radio, in a bar, store, or in a car driving by. "I can't believe it's been 25 years since self-titled album has come out," drummer Bud Gaugh reflected. PLAQUE PRESENTATION CEREMONY, TRAVIS BARKER-PRODUCED SONGS, NEW MUSIC VIDEOS, GRAPHIC NOVEL, LIMITED EDITION BEER CANS, AND MORE PLANNED TO COMMEMORATE 25TH ANNIVERSARY. And they seem headed for excellence when the next song, “Santeria,” mixes up the style and the pace of the album and provides a catchy singalong ear-worm (in a good way.SUBLIME CELEBRATES 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF ICONIC SELF-TITLED ALBUM. So, the band is doing pretty well on this record so far. And the song, though simple, rocks pretty hard. That entire event – the trial, the acquittal, the riots – was very formative to who I am as a person, so I’m interested in any media dealing with it. I’m not sure what “Miami” refers to.) The song’s got a groove and a menacing feel that climaxes as Nowell sings, “let it burn, wanna let it burn” at 2:48, and follows it up with a list of cities. (The band purportedly participated in the Long Beach unrest. The lyrics basically celebrate looting, which I don’t agree with, but give an insight into the mindset of some rioters.
It uses recordings of actual police calls from Long Beach, CA, the band’s hometown, to supplement the song’s lyrics. The song describes the rioting that occurred after the acquittal of the fuckhead cops who beat Rodney King in LA in 1992. Sublime’s penchant for adopting hip-hop sounds is best exemplified on the next song, their big hit “What I Got,” which features scratching and samples behind a folk-rock ditty. The song also keenly uses the P-Funk hooting-organ sound from “Mothership Connection” that made millions for Dr. It’s a testament to his friendly style that my reaction is to say “Thank you, no,” instead of immediately fleeing. Then, after impressively using the word “shit” three times in six lines, he joyfully rattles off a list of horrible living conditions (picking up trash on the freeway, living in a tweaker pad, etc) before finally inviting you, the listener, to join him. He veers from the awe over the love that he found (reggae) and his devotion to his Dalmatian, Lou-dog, to stealing anything and putting needles in his arm. Guitarist/Singer Bradley Nowell, who sadly died of a heroin overdose before the record was released, has a fun-loving-but-poor-decision-making persona that comes across in his lyrics. The minimalist, reggae-style bass line from Eric Wilson has a nice sound. Drummer Bud Gaugh sets a shuffle pace, establishing a cool, mellow groove.
