I’m not REALLY sure how old this info is – the videos go back to October of 08, but I hadn’t heard word one about Sublime reuniting until I got back to LA – that was only a month ago. I want tour dates, bitches. I don’t even care if it’s with a new singer. Which it’d obviously have to be, unless they figured out a way to channel spirits or something.
A little more about that: this dude’s name is Rome and he sounds like Brad but you’d never know it just by looking at him. Check out his myspace though, cause in addition to performing with Sublime he writes his own music and it’s pretty fucking fantastic. I think he’s just some fan they found who happened to be a pretty sick songwriter. Here’s what the kid has to say about playing with one of his favorite bands:
Well this year really started off with a bang id say. i now have a manager. thats pretty fuckin cool. I always wanted that. I got a new van its pretty cool , very molester -ish but has yet to fail on me. I also am endorsed by a REALLY awesome guitar company called COLE CLARK. I also got to play with my favorite band of all time… SUBLIME. Very huge accomplishment on my behalf. first i would like to take the time to say THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! to all of the fuckin awesome fans who have sent countless messages and comments and emails saying the nicest and most inspiring words ever! and….(read more)
Even so, these videos remind me of an American Idol audition which means he’s probably a professional. I don’t think they held auditions or anything though, cause my sister knows someone who knows someone who said he’s like, related to one of the band member’s or record label’s friends. Hahahah that’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever written in a NEWS post and should strip me of all credibility for the rest of forever. Sorry dudes, but the point is that I don’t have much information on the matter – I’m just really stoked. Did Sublime really play at Bamboozle in May? Anybody know anything else? Cough it up!

i want to smash my soul on your brain
wait, so i know you posted this months ago, but maybe i didn't catch the "he sounds nothing like bradley" – are you deaf?????and on a more positive note – your band is pretty decent bud.
yo im sorry but i was 13 when brad died ive been a fan of sumblime for along time there music is great, and from his lyrics id assume brad wouldnt want us mourning over him he would want someone to pick up where he left off and make more music for future generations so sublime can live on
i want sooooo badly to have sublime back but damn im not sure this dude could pull of anything close to brads styleand no he doesnt sound like him either
you succkkk. I've seeen Rome perform. He is making Brad prouddd!

i agree with al. this fucking guy is singing mutha fucking lullabies by the jonas brothers. This is gonna turn into pop sublime with his sweet baby face and lip ring. Next thing you know hes gonna be titty fucking miley cirus. Sublime is dead. let them be remembered by what has already been created.
@al: i kind of agree, but for what it's worth he's got a fantastic (and similar) voice. do you know the guys or something, or is this just your opinion?
i just met the guy who recorded the audio tracks for this stuff. interesting cat…
He sounds pretty good.
true story.
