Sublime Reunites with Son of Bradley Nowell at Coachella

Sublime promised they would never re-unite in the wake of Bradley Nowell's death: unless his son Jakob was involved. Sublime took the stage for a powerful set at Coachella.

Good music is good music, and that should be enough for anybody. -Bradley Nowell

[@No______Name______]

His dad would be so proud, sublime is reborn!!!!!

[@sethputnamsghost]

🤘Happy af!

[@Norman-Bates]

The fact he was playing his dads guitar with all that blood, sweat and soul poured into that instrument...Magic

[@FrankDux-rq7go]

RIP Lou dog.

[@OneLoveLBCLBP]

There we go on the Sublime report! nice work homie! Sublime forever! 🙏♥️ RIP Bradley🙏♥️....that was quite a beautiful, trippy, emotional kind of full circle for alot of us in the OG crew in LB...happy to see all the love! 🙏♥️🔥

[@relentlessslog]

Wow. It's freaky how much he exactly sounds like his dad. Like if I just heard the audio, I would've assumed it was Sublime playing a live gig from the 90s.

[@esskaygee7616]

It's kinda nuts because if you look into interviews with Jakob, he ended up walking a somewhat similar path to Bradley down to even an unfortunate stint with drugs which he's been well clean of since. If you check out his 2013 band LAW, he was just oozing with Sublime/Bradley influences.

[@relentlessslog]

@@esskaygee7616 He's also joining the band at the same age Brad was when he died.

[@sheldon6248]

Im so freaking happy om getting emotional knowing sublime is carrying on with jakob at the mic and playing his dads guitar. This is so huge im acting like its xmas morning and my kids and wife are putting up with my excitement 😂. Im a dad, husband, surfer and im a diehard Sublime fan for over 30 years!! Good shit happening in music!!!

[@UnderScoredd]

The Coachella performance was fantastic! I wish it never ended. Love Jr's take on his pops' songs. Sounds similar to him with his own little added twist. Amazing energy. Bless these foos.

[@gaugev2]

Love that they are with Jakob, seems like the right fit. I don't get all the "let's shit on Rome" stuff. Sublime with Rome put out good music too. It's a shame people need to shit on either side. Not what Bradley was about.

[@nathansmith891]

It annoys me that it seems Jakob is actively trying to make Rome look bad. I like Rome as an artist, but I've wanted to see Jakob play with Sublime as long as I've known he has been a musician. I'm torn, I love that this happening, but hate how it's going down. Wish they could have let Rome have his farewell tour...

[@Bls-of1ld]

​@@nathansmith891arent they supposed to do that at end of year?

[@JayRamahi3810]

Are you serious? People are really blaming Rome for this?

[@CidicVicious]

Low-key excited to see what happens

[@addisonbreanna]

Jacob voice is almost like his dad's watching and listening to the coachella set. At points if you close your eyes and just listening you can here bradley voice in jacob

[@Elwooddudes]

Very cool man. Cant beat a story like this!

[@jamesmotiv8989]

Honestly as a poor Canadian man it was amazing to watch this live. I got teared up

[@shinydmike8490]

this reminds me of john bonhams story from Led zeppelin. when he passed away the band couldnt find another drummer with his talent, until they finally found the sound they were looking for, from joh bonhams own son. i cant wait to see what sublime does, and you know his dad is proud.

[@BATMAN7666]

WOW JUST WOW!

[@trendmassacre8423]

This is a very smart and important move for the band to hire Brad's son, Jacob will do just fine!

[@jeffhunsinger]

Amazing that Brad's son can step up and be the only one who could take the place of his dad. Great Job !! Thanks for the update on a great band !!

[@joshuaa9513]

Sublime is back baby.

[@heatherh7834]

Omg I can't wait to see them ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ghost_to_a_ghost]

super cool! just on time for warm weather. i used to be really big on Sublime growing up but I mostly listen to them in the spring and summertime these days

[@90s267]

I love it bring Bradleys son out on stage!!

[@123theprodigy5]

Man, Jakob is talented, he sounds just like his dad, I’m so glad he took over. it definitely feels like sublime again.

[@yvettevitacaponigro]

That is fantastic! 🤘🏻✌🏼😊

[@individualisticmind]

Yes indeed, I was shocked to see them at Coachella this year

[@individualisticmind]

I didn't go just saw the line up haha

[@d-crisis336]

it wasnt a debut tho he did a show with them like a month or so before coachella

[@rashira9610]

This was the "Official" Debut I would imagine. Guess the best way to look at it would be like the first show was like a dipping your toes in the water type thing, where Coachella was full on jumping into the pool.

[@basvandenbor4363]

love sublime !🤘

[@laurenwilson2145]

Best news of 2024❤

[@the-engneer]

I really hope they make a new album!!!

[@PitBullPlaysGames]

hope not because they suck

[@jakeuhhb2]

they’ve shared intent with doing it. They intend on soing something with I think alot of Bradley’s unreleased stuff and some of Jakob’s material as well.

[@sethputnamsghost]

Sublime forever 🤘the kid is amazing I’m sure Papa is proud.

[@waveslayer007]

watched everything I have been able to find...some of it was good some not so good, brad was a special and unique talent, not sure yet his son has it, will need to see more

[@isaiahrodriquezgothboy]

Wow that's sounds cool man!!!

[@rogcat7181]

💙 🕯️Bradley 🕯️ 💚

[@skeptischism1324]

Jesus f****** Christ he sounds so much like his dad. If I wasn't staring at him actually singing I've had just heard like a live version I'd have thought that was brad. I'll be so slight slight slight difference but still he's pretty spot-on.

[@bendershome4discountorphan859]

Thus is awesome

[@OneLoveLBCLBP]

PS, congrats on the weight loss! I feel ya,I know it's hard...I was 285 before...now 180 for about 15 years🙏

[@adamrivera2499]

Jacob was amazing 😊

[@dilfbag]

🤘 😁 🤘 Never did this idea cross my mind, so fuckin cool

[@jeepz669]

That's cooj, hope it works out

[@TheRareVideosXL]

Nice.

[@davidgonzales1338]

Jacob and the boys killed. His voice and guitar playing will only getting better and stronger the more he gets used to his dads songs

[@OriginalGrasshopper]

He’s been playing his dad’s songs for about 10 years now in his other band Jakob’s Castle. So he should absolutely know how to play all these songs perfectly by now.

[@cathulucraftian]

Good stuff

[@CanuckIV]

Sid posted a pic of the jumpsuit like 4 days ago on Instagram. I'm surprised this isn't Rock Feed news? lol

[@adamperez3270]

❤

[@ll4680]

Jakob has an amazing voice but his guitar skills are no match for Noels but I hope they go on tour

[@jr2904]

They're both noels lol

[@OriginalGrasshopper]

They will be on tour through at least September. They are playing at numerous festivals all over America.

[@birdflipper]

I've been to shows where the crowd reacted unfavourably to a headlining band. Brand New's final show in Chicago comes to mind. I was surprised to see how many people left after Modest Mouse played, and I heard people say they were upset MM didn't close out the show. I'm a huge fan of both bands and felt especially lucky to have been lucky enough to see BN live before they broke up. I've seen Sublime w Rome and tbh it wasn't that memorable, but I'm super excited to hear Sublime has reformed and look forward to seeing them again. This is something special!

[@JCCook205]

You look like you've trimmed down some bro, congratulations! Hope it's all healthy weight loss, looking healthier!

[@chrishickey2151]

Fuck yes

[@richardsmith7322]

The real deal

[@dankykang2429]

He's no Rome but it's neat he is able to connect with his dad in this manner.

[@slashtrio]

Ha, you’re the 1% who feels that way. Rome who?

[@bw5530]

😅😅😅 Rome suuuuuuuucked. Clean out your ears ya fool

[@nathansmith891]

They played a benefit show together a couple months ago. I hate how Eric bailed on Rome when Rome is obligated to play SwR shows. Then Jakob is being interviewed and making it like Rome decided to do these shows even though they have been planned for months for what is his farewell tour. I wish I could just be straight up happy about this as I've wanted it to happen for years, I just hate how it is happening...

[@Jeepboy]

They should be on the palooza tour or something

Please someone get Gwen Stefani to sing Saw Red with Sublime this next Saturday!!!!!!!!!

[@RobbieSuede13]

They need to already drop that Rome guy already, It was a bad idea from the beginning to bring that guy into the band, With Jacob it actually feels like Sublime and I hope they start touring soon with Jacob, I'm so glad Bud and Eric are also back too ! Long live Sublime !

[@jr2904]

They did that last year

[@OriginalGrasshopper]

This new version of Sublime already has tons of tour dates coming up well into the Fall. They are playing at festivals all over the U.S.

[@JayRamahi3810]

Wow dude you’re blaming Rome for this?

[@mskfrutoz]

He sounds like his Dad

[@tcos332]

Bro here low key looks like Jakob… 👀

[@jeffreycousins]

I used to listen to them. I haven't in awhile

[@OriginalGrasshopper]

I must be one of the only ones who prefered Opie Ortiz and later Rome Ramirez as the replacement for Bradley. Those two guys can actually *sing* and they sound eerily like Brad.

[@uhhLETSKATE]

Not a fan of his singing but I’m sure he will get better

[@the-engneer]

I have mixed feelings about it as well

[@progmetaljean]

Me too, as well as his guitar playing... Reading only praise in the comments, I am glad I am not alone being unimpressed.

[@OriginalGrasshopper]

Jakob’s been playing in bands since he was a teenager. If he hasn’t learned how to sing or play guitar better at this point he never will.

[@Bls-of1ld]

What happened to the other dude they been with?

[@OriginalGrasshopper]

Rome Ramirez. He posted a video here on KZbin explaining the situation. “The End of Sublime With Rome”.

[@pearlrival3124]

What happened to Rome?

[@OneLoveLBCLBP]

Sublime with Rome are all different people, not OG...not part of the crew....they're on tour now...a farewell tour...yes....strange as hell to have both bands touring with all different people but they have contractual obligations. Rome just released new solo music and with Duddy, they're touring too

[@krautbawls2262]

He sounds like his dad and that's great, i just feel bad for the rest of the band who had their band hijacked by Bradley's mom and they were unable to continue for years under a name they all contributed to. She said without Bradley there is no Sublime.... but apparently that's not true now? Did he die and leave the band to his son? Don't get me wrong, love Sublime, but forcing them to not tour for years and years under the name they helped create until your son is old enough is wrong.

[@OriginalGrasshopper]

And the thing is Jakob is pushing 30 (he’s 28), so why did she only okay it now in 2024? Why not a decade ago when Jakob first started playing with his own band Jakob’s Castle? 🤷‍♂️

[@tracyash4475]

Would be cool if Scott Weiland son would sing for STP

[@shadcovert1160]

Ive been wondering, why now? What took so long? Hes 28. Why wasnt he doing it at 20, ya know?

[@nathansmith891]

There was recently an interview with him in the LA Times with him where he talks about it. Basically he felt detached from it.

[@jr2904]

He had his own band, plus that might have been strange to him when he was younger.

[@OriginalGrasshopper]

@@jr2904Why would it be strange for him? He has been performing his dad’s songs in public for over a decade now in Jakob’s Castle. That’s what he has always been known for: covering Sublime songs.

[@sixstringhans-tone5574]

Didn’t hear much of his voice. They don’t plan on writing any new music with his son, do they? Just cuz it’s his son doesn’t necessarily mean the kid can write good music like his dad. But what do I know…

[@JayRamahi3810]

Not gonna lie, I feel pretty bad for Rome Ramirez right now 😬 Like I’m happy ‘real’ sublime is back, but still kind of sucks that Rome is now getting the short end of the stick

[@chrisstewart7078]

I’m Jim Morrison’s bastard son……..wild thang……

[@Matias47507]

Something random that no one cares. I was born the same day that Bradley Nowell died, nothing big. I just wanted to say how its a bit weird to know that the same day I came to earth someone famous died

[@TraceVandal]

It's time for Francis Bean to front Nirvana.

[@JonnyTripleXtv]

I'm glad he's taking over. I despise Rome

[@slamminsammylickit]

He sounds nothing like him

[@TheGothKing]

Where is Kurt Cobain's Son ?

[@edsilvain]

Sublime is sublime, your video is ridiculous

[@gregoryjames174]

No, no. He sounds nothing like his dad, that clip sounded terrible.

[@jr2904]

If he sang the song like it is on record instead of improvising and riffing, he would sound just like his Dad. He has his voice, he just doesn't control it properly

[@tcapfan4190]

absolute trash

[@PitBullPlaysGames]

terrible

[@heathfranklin4296]

Coachella lowT soy

[@LLYMYNT]

I was so bummed when Brad OD’d and picked up their album after the fact, such talent left too soon because I always thought they’d be around if he hadn’t died. Glad his boy is taking over and sounds great. I wish him well. ❤

[@jonnhuck4553]

He's been playing with them...

[@michaelkozma5929]

Thank you for covering my favorite band in the world, well done... Jakob is making us proud. Huge things on the horizon. SUBLIME biopic movie, directed by Hunger Games director is coming out 2024/2025. Look out for my Documentary on the band dropping on youtube titled: "Bradley Nowell the Unspoken Genius of 1990s and Sublime"

[@davidking3311]

I prefer Rome, I dont see Jakob taking the band anywhere into the future.

[@Bls-of1ld]

That's the point...they are a novelty act now
