Expertise

Guarantee: you will receive an answer within 2 days of posting the question -- whether it is a referral to a different expert or a straight answer to your question. I can answer most questions about the band, the significance of the lyrics, the show dates, the unreleased albums and tracks, misinformation, and, above all, I am an expert on their influences and related music. Additionally, if you're looking for that hard to find track or a cheap alternative to the $300 book Crazy Fool: Portrait of a Punk, I might be able to help.

Experience in the area

I have been a huge fan for 16 years, I ran a server which distributed Sublime's live and unreleased music 24/7 for 4 years, I have answered questions about the band daily for a decade on their old website, and I know some of the largest collectors in the world. I created the 5 CD bootleg "Rewind Selector" which documents the influences of Sublime and was the topic of a Spin Magazine interview.

Education/Credentials

I did not study music in college, but I majored in English, so I can write a clear response. I worked as a research assistant in the past, so I have skills in research if I need to figure out an answer.

Past/Present Clients

Sublime fans aren't my clients, but I have distributed swag and rare tracks to all those who want them for years at little cost.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

The song Get Out! off of 40oz is a hodge podge of 10 or more songs and samples, including but not limited to: It's Expected I'm Gone (Minutemen) Slow Ride (Beastie Boys) Clean Up Woman (Betty Wright) If It Ain't Ruff (N.W.A) Clips from the film Scarface Fuck 'Em (The Geto Boys) Moby Dick (Led Zeppelin) Lemon Song (Led Zeppelin) Four Legged Zoo (School House Rock)

Dave, I have better than what's currently on the internet, but not good enough to print a reproduction, full size. As you may know, I ran a server back in the day that gave free access to Sublime audio

Hi Kevin, You'd be surprised at how often I get this question, but I'll tell you what I tell the rest. 1) Be cautious about signatures -- because of the value, many will try to sell fakes. Bud often

2011-12-27 Day Jobs?:

Chris, That's a good and new question! The guys from Sublime were full-out dedicated to their music. They started it before college, it took priority over their work, and in short, the answer is no

Erich, The full and uncut version of Raleigh's rant is roughly 45 minutes long. I believe you can find it on YouTube, but if not, or if you want it for your own collection, email me and we will figure

Jorge, It's not because you're not explaining it well, it's just that I haven't seen that fan-made piece of art before, unfortunately. There is a site with many fan-version tattoos (mostly 40oz suns)
