It's a vibe!! 🔥😎 First time hearing Sublime "Pawn Shop" Reaction | Asia and BJ

[@joemomma7814]

40oz to freedom, date rape, badfish, wrong way, Santeria, caress me down, doin time, garden grove, scarlet begonias. That’s a good start to really get to know sublime and what they are about. Glad you stumbled across them. Absolutely a legend of a band.

[@KristinKanan]

Bradley was a true student of music. He was a master at blending genres and references lyrics and riffs. So much respect for them. Such a shame he left us way too soon. I recently watched his son do a tribute show for charity and he sang his dad’s songs. I had to hold back tears since he was a baby when Bradley passed. So glad you reacted to Sublime. 😊

[@markwillis675]

RIP Bradley. This whole album is total fire. Please do more. Like "Wrong way."

[@MikeB12800]

[@JohnnyLichtergud]

This album was fantastic! My summer of '97. Music worth paying for.

[@laurencepokras6657]

Brad is a Legend and I knew him , i am from Long Beach and he would always come up to my room above the Pot Holder Cafe and kick it with me ..and rap..and chill.. Miss you Brad I remember all the good times..91 to 97

[@chrisblessing45]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@DannyWalker1963]

So you didn't see his addiction getting the best of him?

[@hanyougod]

A question that shows you've never experienced a friend/loved ones downward spiral. And on the off chance you have, makes you come off as an a$$.

[@emcsquared8681]

They have so many influences, reggae, ska, punk, rock and others. They were masters of mixing all that together to create their own sound. Miss those guys a lot.

[@SparkimusPrime]

Sublime will forever be 🔥🔥🔥 RIP Bradley 🖤

[@MikeB12800]

This whole album is a vibe!!

[@CalixYukon]

Sweet grooves! Audio was a little off in this recording but still sounded good, my bad for not sending you a link. You guys listened to April 29 1992 in a livestream (song about the LA riots) and you mentioned you hadn't heard any other Sublime but liked the reggae rock funk sound of it. Thanks for this review it was definitely vibes

[@shannonfranco19]

All Sublime is awesome. It’s like a reggae-ska. Been listening since cassettes. We would jam it on the way to high school in ‘92-‘93… and ever since! RIP Bradley

[@TentaclebuckeT]

Love sublime, their early catalog is a goldmine. They cross genre lines and incorporate many different styles, sometimes within the same song. Definitely keep digging through their material, you will be surprised by their versatility. "under my voodoo" "saw red" ft. Gwen Stefani "live at E's"

[@stephena2390]

If you liked this one, you’ll love ALL the other songs.

[@glennburch1081]

Must listens: Doing Time, What I got, Garden Grove, Work That We Do, are just a few. Was going great till lead singer Bradley Nowell overdosed. They hired a sound-alike, but was never the same after Bradley passed IMHO. Great reaction.

[@shenanigans_n_horror8320]

Love sublime🔥🔥🔥 If you haven't heard April 29 1992 off the same album you should def react to it🙏🏻

[@barelyed1ble]

YES this song introduced me to them way back in the early 2000s

[@jon-pauldupont5746]

If you were alive, you remember those riots

[@barrycohen311]

This band was heavily influenced by Ska and Reggae. Brad, the lead singer, his Mother took him to Jamaica in his teen years, and he became obsessed with Jamaican music after that trip. He should have stuck to the ganja though, hard drugs killed him off young.

[@joehynes5452]

He would've been an Icon, nearly was with just the two albums. What a talent, such a shame

[@kaughtphyre]

Coincidentally this song is about him selling his things at the pawn shop to buy heroin. They were ahead of their time. Long live sublime. Look at all the love we found...

[@droz2377]

Biggest loss in music. So much talent.

[@brandonseger5812]

Pawn Shop was based on a Wailing Souls tune called War Der Round a John Shop. The OG is better but Sublime did a killer job with it.

[@wuspoppinmayne4364]

A lot of hip hop vibes too

[@harrisonspencer46]

This goes real good with some good mother nature. Thanks for introducing me to this cool tune, going on the playlist.

[@areellesea-explorerresearc8395]

Bradley was badass.. all their music has this vibe. Def worth some listening 🥰

[@ynot2385]

This song is based off of the lead singer being so heavily addicted to heroin that he literally pawned all of their equipment while on tour and their manager had to get it back to continue touring.

[@jsmpsnn]

"Cisco Kid" & "Burritos" are a couple of my personal favorites from Sublime just to chill to

[@joehynes5452]

This is the album that took them mainstream but The 40 0z. To Freedom Album is a top ten 90's album for me. It's such a masterful recording with so many styles. Bradley oozed talent and charisma, taken from us too soon

[@adamolsen78]

FINALLY!! You guys react to Sublime.. East Side Long Beach finest 👏🏻👍🏻🔥 You will love their music like me and several other subs have been telling y'all.. Much blessings to you both and enjoy the Sublime music wormhole.. you are guaranteed to love it!!! 💯💯

[@No_Use_For_A_Name]

When he was a kid the family lived in the Caribbean. He basically grew up on stuff like Bob Marley, but the main influences are a deeper reggae cut. Very deep reggae cut.

[@Roh_Echt]

Love love love Sublime. Still my most often "Go To" music. So many Sublime songs for you two to try. Their "Gold" CD has 43 or 44 Sublime Greats on it.

[@alexmaziarz7496]

They have been gone along time ago. I'm happy to hear their music live on with the new generation of people.

[@fighterck6241]

8:25 from the stories, alot of the tkme they were at the pawn shop trying to buy back their own equipment that they'd pawned earlier for quick cash. They had alot of issues but it's why alot of their music was raw and relatable.

[@827dusty]

I could absolutely hear this as a Jimi Hendrix song. This is his kind of thing. Can imagine Jimi going off on a 5-minute wild guitar solo?

[@AW11-e4h]

That Rock Reggae will hit ya 🤘

[@KairoReefMusic]

This is a Bob Marley cover. Brad was very inspired by Jamaican reggae. He took a sailing trip with his dad from Southern California to Jamaica and fell in love with reggae. Jamaicans showed him how to play some songs and when he came back to California he started playing it a ton. He had a deep respect for reggae. Half pint, Yellowman, U-Roy, Barrington levy, eek a mouse, Peter Tosh, Desmond Dekker, the meditations, conroy smith, sugar minott. Just to name a few of his inspiriations

[@TheMasterceasar]

I loved Asia's opening description of sublime 😂 she nailed it. They are deffintly that island vibe

[@JoTracy]

The sound of Summer. Sublime! Yay

[@woodywoodster1000]

Yes they were heavily influenced by Bob Marley and also Peter Tosh, one of the original Wailers.

[@NoActuallyGo-KCUF-Yourself]

I was big into both ska and hiphop in the 90s, so I fell in love with Sublime immediately. I still keep a couple scratched CDs in rotation for driving music or chilling on a weekend.

[@meghanhallen525]

I know this is older video but just remember yes this was all reggae influenced and just feeling life and loving it and feel the vibe

[@Wrangzilla]

I remember hearing this song at a party in Va Beach back in the 90’s and some dreadlocked surfer guys were playing this live.

[@cgrist7000]

My go to happy music with a vibe!25 years never lets me down

[@OliveWhisperingEye]

My 3rd favorite song from them….. they got that whole feeling of going to the pawnshop on point.

[@adamadler5411]

They've sampled and used all the famous dancehall riddims of the time, named songs off of massive reggae classics. Most people don't hear all their work and know a couple of songs, but all their best songs and some entire albums were also done in dub versions like the reggae classic singles. Yellowman, Buju Banton, Peter Tosh to mention a few of the influences and homages.

[@SIXX2772]

Every dam time I hear PAWN SHOP....I remember my 1968 reissue Gibson Flying V Hendrix signature model guitar I won in a guitar competition...yeah I lost it in a pawn shop as a young idiot! About the same time, this song came out!!!!!!

[@room22-1]

Bradley visited Jamaica when he was a kid, and fell in love with reggae. According to his mom.

[@chrisw3421]

VERY cool you two reacted to this. Great song and band.

[@onegemini420]

Oh, the times I have spent humming along and air guitaring to this.

[@johnjohnnston3498]

Sublime used to be my favorite as a kid, they've got the best reggae vibe outside of Jamaica. The beat was awesome on this song, and the vocals are usually even better on most their other stuff also. Joe Momma's comment/recommendations are solid.

[@sheldondemas2111]

Sublime, it's not just music, it's a lifestyle 😀👍

[@theOGnokk]

Doin Time is a great song too. Definetly worth a reaction

[@unintelligentlifeform7180]

Sublime has some good songs. great pick for a guitar/drums vibe.

[@zombieapocalypsecherokee9224]

This is one of those songs that gets you stuck on repeat the beat is just that good lol. Try "Garden Grove" from Sublime or "5446 That's My Number" and yes Bob Marley was a huge influence on Bradley ✌😁

[@ajk5733]

Exposing diamond,metals, gold etc mining industry waaaay before anyone else. Legendary and meaningful

[@allenburghardt1596]

Bradley,the lead singers father was in a big brass band

[@arthurestrada2682]

I heard that Bradley would pawn his guitar, and the band would buy it back just before the Gigs.

[@atheist101]

My brother's favorite song, he's got most their albums on vinyl

[@stonerviking4079]

Sublimes self titled album is one of my all time favorite albums. I wore this CD out growing up, every song on it is 🔥. I'd love to see you two react to "Ballad of Johnny Butt", "Garden Grove" or "Wrong Way"

[@MikeB12800]

Seed

[@dkmcbigsley]

They did reggae, rap and punk. O e of my faves is their version of We're Only Gonna Die for our Arrogance

[@robc.8269]

"40oz. to Freedom" please. Sublime were SoCal surfer stoners, so yes reggae was a big influence. Thx.

[@bakercarl8518]

New to my ears. Yeah reading the comments, I can see where this reggae vibe comes from. I'm on board.🍁

[@jaygee6310]

The influences of sublime were mostly punk from California. But Bradley's parents broke up when he was young and his dad owned a boat and used to take him to Jamaica every summer for vacation.

[@amyboone125]

One of the best bands EVER!

[@irenephillips1523]

This whole album is perfection I listen to it every couple of months and I always never what it to end you really feel like you've gotten to know him . you guys are probably sick of hearing of all these cool singers from the 90s dead of overdoses

[@kurre7]

I feel like they do have an island vibe. Also their most famous song is called Santeria I think? Which is a Carribean thing?...Not sure, but another good Sublime song is Badfish.

[@danreed5171]

__________------------Bob Marley inspired everyone---------_________including these white boys from South Cali.... Marley is love,,,,,,,it is EVERYWHERE!

[@albertreyes1877]

Sublime - Get Ready 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Meyzen76]

Sublime-Live at E’s. 🌞 Off of the 40oz. to Freedom album. You’d dig it. The album is great too! 🤘🏼✌🏼

[@eddiemileski7691]

Gotta listen to more , they got a lot of great music

[@NahMan619]

This song is actually a cover by the wailing souls called “War deh round a John shop”

[@dennishendrikx3228]

This is my "Blast the car stereo" song, I love it. I put it 3x in my playlist, I kid you not. Along with Smoke Two Joints.

[@anthonybradshaw1545]

This album shouts out where I'm at "Stockton"

[@aaronanderson6892]

The story is , that they would get to a new gig in a new town and brad would go pawn off all the bands instruments to get some money for some smack. Then the manager would have to get to the pawn shop to buy back the stuff so they could perform.

[@LoversPosse]

this song is a remake from from Wailing Souls, a legendary reggae band the OG song is called War deh round a john shop

[@marksivert1684]

Sublime is unique as you will ever find

[@jon-pauldupont5746]

More Sublime! Always more Sublime. Wrong Way, Santeria, Garden Grove, Date Rape, April 29th 1992, etc

[@TheMasterceasar]

Sublome got asia coming out her cloths 😍

[@chrisbrookhart9441]

Sublime "what I got" Peep it great song most popular one they got actual lyrics involved 😂

[@randallforrest7683]

Great song...great reaction. Thanks guys!

[@djevans1976]

They got a Doin' Time Remix with snoop on it that was done after he passed. Sublime is LBC boys.

[@mikewood6071]

Every successful musician has a memory of struggling while they were trying to make it… Pawning the instruments that are going to make you hit big is just part of the journey LOL

[@nickbelka5921]

Crazy how a song about selling all your possessions to a pawn shop for heroin happens to be their best. So much emotion.

[@melod7670]

Sublime is great pool music, just like most Reggae..

[@topspot4834]

Damn just found y'all channel. Sublime is like no other. In the 90s it was such a cool band cause didn't matter what genre of music you were into, everyone loved Sublime. I was always into rap, and a lotta my friends were into rock and stuff so I could never relate. I don't know anyone who doesn't like them tho, and they're music aged like fine wine.

[@dalerobinson9528]

Named my son after Bradley! Can't go wrong with any of their albums, but second hand smoke is definitely underrated.

[@rickybarber7520]

Watch VH1 behind the music Sublime... you'll learn everything u need to know. Bradley was more then a vibe. Plz post more

[@ChrisC-te1gp]

Bob Marley influenced everyone 👍

[@lakerraider100]

Bradley was contantly pawining his guitar for drugs and the band was constantly having to buy it back from the the shop. He decided to write a song about it.

[@DaedalusX86]

Some of the lyrics are a little rough now but the music is incredible. They definitely a vibe band

[@christophereverett2353]

if you heard the next song on the album you would understand sublime!

[@anthonybradshaw1545]

It's nice to see all the love for sublime in the comments mostley no body ik now in days know bout diss

[@williammorgan4620]

Look for a song called Rivers of Babylon. I think Bob Marley did it originally but Bradley Knowell did an acoustic Cover of it on an older Sublime Album. Sorry I dont know the albums name though.

[@manzell]

Dunno if anyone brought up the song meaning - he's talking about the times when he'd pawn all the band's equipment so he could feed his heroin addiction (they were all users to various degrees)

[@Ventura574]

Lol. Back the day my best friend worked in a porn store and everytime I'd go pick him up from work, I'd play this song and adlib lyrics, about going down to the porn shop.

[@MaximusA444]

Rip Brad ❤

[@jinjerjunkie]

Very much influenced by reggae and had many great covers that have the very distinct Sublime vibe to them: Jailhouse (Bob Marley and the Wailers) 54-46, That's My Number (Toots & The Maytals) Smoke Two Joints (The Toyes)

[@Moose96080]

I will always love more sublime reactions

[@LoversPosse]

MORE SUBLIMEEE …. Jailhouse is a must, and original Bob Marley and the Wailers song!!!!!

[@duarte8546]

I grew up listening to it :)

[@kenneththomason583]

Even if you don’t know it, everyone has heard a Sublime song….RIP Bradley

[@somniumrabidum]

Hell yeah, one of the best albums of the 90s

[@herbertsonlee7666]

I jumped of the bridge listening to this

[@vicegrips188]

I alway believe the toots and maytales had a big influence, amongst other raggae

[@chevonneneiva7226]

Sublime is perfect

[@bw0716]

that funky bass line all day

[@paulparker8313]

My favorite band. They have Bob Marley which was Bradley Knowles favorite and they cover Grateful Dead " Scarlet Bagonia" that is good. Check that out. And " Boss DJ"

[@paulparker8313]

They cover "Rivers of Babylon" which is a must to review

[@stuartkirkpatrick1173]

Love sublime, especially Lou dog😜
