SUBLIME Santeria - Old Composer Beach Reaction

[@KeyOfGeebz]

Stoked you guys are still digging teh Beach Session 🐶 Umm, the dog towrs the end just did a stray photobomb. His hooman came by to grab him when I was done :)

[@carolynm.7530]

Thank Geebz,, had a fun time listening to this track with ya. Love the beach sessions. The dog photobomb was classic! 😄🤗😆 Cheers!🤙🤙

[@atolmasoff]

Always fun watching you listen to groups I've grown and lived with my whole life! Thanks for doin' what you do man!

[@ooashisu]

Totally loving the beach sessions, such a nice change of pace. I'd love to see this as a regular fixture every now and then even when you get your usual space back! PS - I'd suggest trying a lavalier to record the commentaries, it'll probably improve the voice to wave noise ratio (although the wave sounds are definitely part of the charm of the setting 😄)

[@The714smith]

Are you at the Kauai beach resort there?

[@booneh]

The style of this song is called rocksteady, which is a half time version of ska. One of the most interesting things about Sublime is how they mix different genres and styles. Not just Jamaican music like reggae, ska, and dub, but punk and hardcore and hip-hop. Also a mix of party atmosphere and dark and sometimes painful lyrics. Songs like “Seed,” “Same In The End,” and “All You Need” show their range.

[@opertinicy]

yup! Robbin' the Hood has one of my favorite song mix in Steppin' Razor kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6vUXqWheqplfbM

Awesome! Things happen for a reason! It brought us to the beach with Sublime and you sir!

[@Ubotit_Unaymit]

I know it's a pain for you, but it's the perfect background! 🤙🏼 Also, I could hear you just fine over the surf noise. Volume was spot on as always!👍🏼

[@evan6534]

Sublime and the beach go hand-in-hand... Are Sublime Reggae? Yes. Are they Ska? Yes. Are they also punk, hardcore, alternative, and rock with little bits of hip-hop, surf music and even Spanish elements thrown in? Yes! Would Jamaicans consider them Reggae? Probably not... Sublime was a pure American blend of all these influences thrown together - something that only the 90s era could deliver... Bradley will always be missed - it would have been amazing to see where his career could have gone... For the next suggestions (there are a bunch) maybe try Paddle Out (very short surf song) or even Saw Red featuring a very young and fairly unknown at the time Gwen Stefani (Edit: in the very early 'No Doubt' days) ...

[@airborneandrowdy]

Ska, dub, dance hall, punk, reggae, house party rock, jam. They do it all.

[@poptya]

Man, I wish I was sittin on a beach listening to Sublime lol

[@GimmeJimmy23]

The "loud" didn't matter. I am in love with the sound of the ocean, and fall asleep to youtube-generated ocean sounds, every night. This. Was. So. Good!

[@UMfan21]

Search online you may like the Hawaiian tribute to sublime. Bunch of their songs played instrumentality with ukulele and an island feel.

[@eatingsound373]

Should do 'Wrong Way' - my fav Sublime song - great bass playing.

[@gregclarke2183]

You gotta listen to more ska! I found your channel because of a Less Than Jake reaction…and I stuck around because I love your take on the music. And ska has sooo much to offer. Funky bass lines, awesome horns (usually), and just a fun, upbeat sound, no matter what the subject matter is. Lol! I would suggest the song Wood and Water, by the Skatalites…because it’s one of my all time favs, and the Skatalites were a huge part of the creation of ska in the early 60’s (and still play today).

[@py_a_thon]

In terms of ska...I always think of big band as opposed to upbeat reggae grooves. Streetlight Manifesto is one of my favorite bands(for real...that band is so tight and so complex). And of course LessThanJake and ReelBigFish. I'll listen to your recomendation though. The name is familiar yet I am not sure I have heard the music within the last decade.

[@gregclarke2183]

@@py_a_thon Streetlight say that they’re brass punk, and not ska. Though Catch 22 is ska. Lol! The Skatalites are more like the big band style you mentioned. But I put any reggae, rocksteady, etc. under the “ska umbrella”, like metal and grunge, etc. are under the “rock umbrella”. Though I’m no musical historian. Lol! I would also highly suggest listening to the Planet Smashers, the Slackers, the Pietasters, the Toasters, Bim Skala Bim, Los Tres Puntos, and I’ll stop there because there are so many great ska bands!!!

[@py_a_thon]

@@gregclarke2183 Instructions unclear. I am now listening to Fela Kuti - Water No Get Enemy lol. I am not really a genre purist to be fair. And yeah, catch22 was epic also. Good tunes are good tunes. Also Fela Kuti is fire af.

[@rosstoolfan]

Cutting the surf sounds when playing the track is perfect. I was waiting for those facial reactions when certain lyrics were sang! Good times! Have a killer rest of your weekend. Love ya Geebz 💚

[@nickmcshane1299]

Can’t think of a better place to listen to that song for the first time tbh 👌

Back in my heavy stoner days in high school this album was a MUST😎🤙 I highly recommend the song Badfish by Sublime, absolutely up your alley

[@Nathdood]

hah, my good friend from high school, who also got me into being a stoner, was a mega sublime fan. good people smoked bud and listened to sublime xD These songs are so nostalgic

[@bryanincommiefornia5629]

I have a compilation album for Sublime, and Badfish was one I always skipped on there. Haven't listened to it in a while, maybe I should give it another look.

[@michaelkozma5929]

Great review, you nailed it with the description of his voice. A perfect blend of head/chest voice, with raspy texture. I'm releasing a documentary on Sublime in early 2023. Bradley Nowell was one of the few greats who had a proven IQ on paper of 142 even by age 12. He was a Genius.

[@jessieball6195]

Shame he wasn't smart enough (or maybe just not strong enough mentally) to stay away from drugs.

[@junistheking2027]

I wish I could listen this song for the first time over and over again❤

[@obi5398]

The album "Sublime" is definitely made for the beach

[@Soljarag5]

Sublime is PERFECT music for the beach!

[@TheMrgrieves0914]

I think, other than Bradley Nowell's voice, the reason Sublime has such staying power is that they blended so many genres, and made such a unique sound. Someone might come up with a better description, but I'd call Santeria reggae/rock. Sublime effortlessly slides from reggae, to Ska, to rock, to punk rock, to rap, and possibly even more. Sublime is an absolute treasure of the 90's era, and like many bands from that time, it ended too soon. I believe this band, Brad, and even the other members of the band, had that certain creative spark that could have burned for so much longer.

[@Funktaro5]

Their last album was by far their best. It's really one of the great tragedies of music because they were really just starting their peak. Most great musicians even if they die young do so a bit passed their peak, but Sublime was just getting there, if not still getting better.

[@TheMrgrieves0914]

The most tragic rock star deaths are the ones who died when it was clear they had years or decades of potential in them. Nowell was one of them.

[@dima_r6]

Awesome vibes from an awesome guy

[@noahwilliams5429]

Very surprised you haven’t heard this song. Its very popular.

[@gregclarke2183]

Sublime, though not explicitly a ska band, are a ska band. Lol! They transcend genres more than most, but the heavy ska influence is prevalent in most of their music.

[@turingmachine7905]

I went to a few backyard parties these guys played in Long Beach way back in the day.

[@anthonymiele4320]

Sublime was our generations "Led Zeppelin" and what I mean by that is you could put it on with literally any group of people my age and we'd all groove to it (and probably start singing along). Sublime was ubiquitous in the 90s (even if they did steal an image for one of their albums from my church).

Love the Sublime / beach reaction combo!

[@Dyrtbag68]

You should keep reactions on the beach for special songs like this. I know you won't know if its special or not if you haven't heard it but Sublime are in their natural element on the beach. Regardless of when your studio gets set back up, you should visit this set up from time to time, its very unique when it comes to KZbin reaction channels.

[@nightvid3607]

Totally agree! This is a perfect union.

[@Arakiel9]

A lot of the music I love doesn't have a place and time where they "live" in the soundtrack of my life. They are there, but not tied to any time or any place specifically. This one does. Glad you did this song, I still love the beach reactions, and I wish you all the best! :)

[@lastborn11]

Oh look it’s another karaoke favorite…how did you coordinate the sail boat on the horizon?! Love the rolling waves with a song like this … I grew to believe that Hawaii was inhabited by Dobermans and Poodles … seams the breading standard has changed … nothing like a giant pile in the sand from beast such as that to welcome one to the beachfront!!

Love this song, so glad you listened to it. This one brings back some good memories of good times and good friends. The beach was a great plsce to do this song, thanks! 🌞🌊🏄💙

[@ChiliCheeseSwag]

I came here to recommend the ultimate Sublime song; but frankly they're so consistent that it's impossible. They're always hitting their mark and every song brings its own vibe. The fact is Sublime is reggae-punk. It's a reggae foundation as told through a punk rocker and history has shown that it's a hit. I think "Greatest Hits" is a great representation of their sound and worth checking out. But again, this is the type of band you roast a bone to and spin the whole record. So many songs that hit so many points. They can simultaneously be understood in one song and not be understood without listening to their entire discography. Luckily, listening to their entire discography is easy and a pleasure.

[@ChiliCheeseSwag]

The easy question is, do you want to hear a heroin addicted punk rocker sing his soul out in a reggae format? Because it's pretty cool.

[@SergioCristancho]

This song was made to meet your reactions... At the beach! aloha! Awwwrigth!

[@mikeisgettinupset]

[@hortonwho211]

I like these occasional beach reactions. It’s a perfect setting if you ever want to check out Deftones playing an acoustic version of “Knife Prty” on the beach in Hawaii (part of the music in high places series). It’s also a great setting to investigate Chino’s side project called Palms. They have a song called “Tropics” that is very evocative of the chill beach vibe. Thanks for continuing to investigate and break down these classics!

Watching Geebz listen to music is like watching Stephen Root's character on O Brother, Where Art Thou. Maybe one of his videos Geebz can comment, "Boy, that was a mighty fine a-pickin' and a-singin'!"

[@bryanincommiefornia5629]

I was listening to the bass line thinking "why did I never learn a sublime song on bass when I used to play?" Then I realized I had, their track Date Rape. Fun song to play, but maybe if I very get time again Santaria may be on the list of songs to learn.

[@michaelclements5793]

Lyrics-wise, the term "Sancho" is slang for the guy who takes your girl while you're in prison. The term evolved to just mean the side man, sans prison. Heina means your beautiful girl. So his girl's been fucking around, he has a hard time defining how he is feels about it, but for sure he wants to mess up the other guy.

Sublime is as original in it's genre as Tool is in theirs. I think that says a lot. Btw, I go to the beach first thing in the morning too in Florida. It's amazing when the last chill of the night sorta slips away with the sun.

Here in Italy Sublime is a band who has never been widely known. I had the luck many years ago to become friend of a girl who was a DJ and once she gave me a compilation to listen with one of their songs on it. We can say that here they are a "cult band" for fews... great band indeed!

[@billabong3549]

Geebz, it’s time for some Failure. A seminal alternative rock band that’s influenced a ton of big name bands, most notably tool, their last two albums (after a long hiatus) are just crazy good. They craft soundscapes, the engineering is nuts. In the future your body will be the furthest thing from your mind or Wild type droid?- great albums.

[@msboeckman]

If you like the musical side of this song you should check out Lincoln Highway Dub, its Santeria but as an instrumental and highlights the bass track

[@downwardisheavenward3006]

I’m not gonna pretend that I’ve never liked a Sublime. Cause there was a time that I did. Never a whole album, but definitely a handful of songs. Having said that, there were many bands from around the same time, that should’ve been a popular as they were. A few(a few) to keep in mind were The Toasters - Ploughshares Into Guns Dance Hall Crashers - My Problem Let’s Go Bowling - Sick Fish Mephiskapheles - Satan On The Beach

Bradley is surprisingly unique on guitar too. Santeria doesn't showcase his talent. He's truly a 1 of 1 and I'm sad I was born in 98 and not wasn't able to take part in the era. Thank you for reviewing my favorite band! Other had great suggestion, but Don't Stop is a great one. Many sublime songs are covers pseudocovers which as a fan, makes it even more fun.
