My youngest brother was a huge Sublime fan back in the 90s, he put me on to them. Unfortunately my brother, Anthony, passed in 2015 the same way Bradley did. It's sad. RiP to both them boys, and all the others lost to the struggle. God bless❤️🙏

[@Em22-wtf]

@772 Ninja Unfortunately my sons father is heading that way right now, and it sucks, its sad, and there is not a thing I can do about it. He wants to be out of his mind, more than he wants to live life and I have to protect my son from it at all costs. Whats worse is, I know what its like to an extent, but I made the decision 12 yrs ago I was done with the BS, and I still am so I KNOW he can be too, he chooses NOT to be. And, today, we had plans, he was clean when he got here, went to the bathroom, and made the choice to ruin the whole day by doing what HE wanted to do. After 17 yrs, I threw in the towel. I put my entire life on hold every time he decides he wants to check out instead of dealing with life. Ya, dont we fucking all sometimes, but the consequences are not worth it. He takes the chance to ruin our sons life everytime he doesnt want to stay on the straight & narrow, bc if he ODs and doesnt make it back, our son will be devastated & all I can do is warn him as he gets older if that day does come, god forbid. It sucks. And its even sadder when you hope that if they won't get their shit together, hopefully they'll get arrested bc at least you know they are alive for that time they are locked up. Its no way to live, or raise a child. And, I can't put my life on hold again. Dont know why I am typing this here, something you said make me feel like typing it out, lol! Plus, he just relapsed about 2 hrs ago, and instead of being off for the day having fun, eating good food, etc....Im sitting here watching YT....pissed off, and painting. At least my son is having fun with my nephews at a water park my parents surprised them with! ANyway, just venting. Love Sublime, ironically enough, it was this same guy that introduced me to the awesomeness of Sublime =/

[@Gildedbutterfly1976]

I always will remember the time me and a few friends went to a bar in Long Beach in late 1993 with our fake I.D.s and Sublime was playing. The '90s were the best! That fake I.D. got me into so many dope places that would never happen today. I also remember thinking how amazing the whole band sounded in front of such a small crowd. No cell phones or cameras to ruin the moment either. ❤❤❤

Just so you know, your dad is the greatest to you, sometimes its very difficult for a person to become a real parent, in their heart they try and try to just keep failing and failing, its gets hard to bounce back. But dont just chalk it up as "he wasnt the greatest dad" lots of variables there. You must of meant something to him to stop by a kick it, doesnt sound like much but maybe it was the hardest for him, im sure he wanted to be with you ever chance he could but was disappointed in himself. Its weird how people do things in life sometimes. Im sure he was a good man that loved you. life is never black and white so always read between the lines to find what ur looking.

When you realize this song is about his struggle with heroin. RIP. When you were young you didn't realize how deep this song was. Badfish by Sublime and Under The Bridge by RHCP would always define how my life was/is. Constant struggle but you can overcome it. To those who are still struggling to overcome their opiate illness, there is a brighter side take it from a guy whose been shot five times, stabbed twice and have a terminal illness. Was on and off opiate for majority of my teens and twenties. Currently thirty, sober for year and six months.

[@komickaze85]

Bradley Nowell wrote this song before he ever tried heroin. So, all the people saying it's about heroin are wrong. It is about drugs, but not heroin. Marijuana is probably the biggest influence of this song. "Grab the reef underneath my bed." This song was first on the 1991 Jah Won't Pay the Bills demo tape, so it was way before Bradley ever tried heroin. He really didn't get into it until around 1992-1993. And a Badfish? It's just someone who does things that are considered immoral or wrong by society's standards, like drugs and booze to an extreme.

[@brianpurdy9801]

Amen to that!

[@deepcreep98]

However, I'm sure this song took on new meaning for Bradley once he became involved w/heroin.

I got a love hate relationship with sublime. First of all, they are my favorite band. Ever since I first heard them on the radio back in '97 thats been the case. But it is the only band that I have ever bought an album for that I couldn't go see in concert. And it makes me mad that Brad overdosed because they would have had a tremendous career and most of the fans were never able to see them live. Thank god for KZbin and all the wonderful people who have uploaded live performances with Brad, it means a lot to other true sublime fans.

"I swim, but I wish I never learned, the water is too polluted with germs." Might be my favorite line out of any song ever. It shows the pain Bradley was going through at the time. I think many others feel the same way. Such a powerful line, that I believe is overlooked quite often. It demonstrates the battle we all have with the corrupt and evil individuals/events in society (regardless of political party, left and right, regardless of socioeconomic status). The battle of of love and hate. It sometimes can be tough and even unbearable to manage the fact that there are people out there that will take advantage of you, and that will play friends on the front, but are just waiting for the right moment to stab you in the back. Sublime is my favorite band of all time. I have seen this from experience, and just a PSA to anyone who may feel like Bradley, who may struggling to handle all the hatred that is brewing in society, there is at least one person who cares about you and wants to see you thrive and grow and be happy. This guy right here! Rock on Sublime fans! You are loved!

I mean maybe thats a subtheme but he was talking about heroin addiction going with the theme of being stranded on the reef and swimming being a euphemism for heroin use. A "badfish" is someone who exposes someone else to heroin for the first time. As for too polluted with germs hes probably talking about yea "swimming" feels great and has its perks. But take a closer look and its a ditty grimy awful way of life and disease. And thats just a small part of it. Many meanings yeah. But this song is entirely about heroin lmao just like heart shaped box by nirvana or under the bridge by RHCP and so many other bands this song is even more blatant for the censors they changed somebody get me off of this tweak to off of this reef for this version.

“Ain’t got no money to spend I hope the night will never end”. That’s what being a bad fish is all about. Never enough. I loved this song my whole life it wasn’t until I was half way through my 30s until I truly understood what it meant and who I am. There’s a generation of dudes out there that were transformed by this music.

[@eltonjohnsrightnut]

my two older brothers raised me on this band and especially this song. my dad was trash, my mom was always crying and smoking, and sublime has gotten me through everything. my cousins loved sublime, and it will always be like a tradition to my family to listen to this band. RIP BRADLEY NOWELL! YOU MADE MY LIFE TOLERABLE!

[@F2PRoblox]

Unfortunately, drug takes many people's lives and, good bands. I'm glad this band helped you through rough times. :)

[@giovannimoncada3460]

Woke ya ass up like to something personal or what I think is the greatest awakening of truth. The reason for everything. How the Govts/System of our "West" have been owned for centuries. Rothschild with EU banks in 1710 and Rockefeller in the US with Standard-Oil in 1867. Then they united powers for a grand agenda after 1913 - Fed-Reserve. They've used social-engineering through unlimited wealth, supreme power, and control. Enjoy the days (Happy Easter today 2017-4-16).

[@kayleesharp982]

Well, I'll never get to meet Bradley, but I found out about the band Badfish a month ago when they played a show in my village lol. They put on an amazing show, and respected Bradley and sublime all through it. He would have been so proud. The love of sublime that came through everyone was absolutely amazing. Was legit the best concert I've been too

[@flibbidyx2]

What kind of music did Sublime make? Reggae? Ska? Punk rock? Alternative? No. While they may have incorporated these styles into their music, the truth is, the heart of Sublime's music is the blues. They were a blues band with a ska/punk/reggae/surf veneer. The passion, the SOUL of the music is so powerful. Just as they were about to break it big, an incredibly talented and soulful artist lost his life. Rest in peace, Bradley. Your music made the world a better place.

[@Robynyx]

I agree.

I just wanted to let you guys know this song means so much to me. The first time I was introduced to this band, was by a friend that wouldn’t give me a ride to high school unless I knew every word to this album.. and this song always stuck to me like glue. God bless Bradley.

[@kylezo]

That's a Friend with a capital F. To have someone so wise and so young at such an important time must have been a huge blessing. My sister turned me onto Sublime when I was a pre-teen and she was in high school, and it legit helped me find kindred souls because they were still quite new and unknown in those days (early early 90s) and anyone who knew or liked them could basically be trusted and vibed with to the highest degree.

[@jasonmeyer7749]

"my mom", "my dad" stories in this thread. Damn, I'm not that old. My older cousin took me see Sublime at a strip mall on Cherry in Long Beach, a few blocks from my grandparents house in 1991. I was hooked the second I heard them. The Sublime sun was one of the first tattoos I got over 2 decades ago. Not a month goes by that I don't listen to Sublime.

Seeing as Bradley was such a people person I wouldn't doubt it. Your mom is one lucky chick.

[@dandan583]

What did she have to do to get that kind of access

Pure luck I guess, she hung around after everyone left and I guess the band didn't leave yet either. So they went back to their hotel and hung out.

[@xxdubsupxx1074]

Take me back Lord! Back to 90’s. No crybabies. No social media. Being outside. Blunts, 40’s and bitches. Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, when I was dead broke I couldn’t picture this. Video game rentals, sleepovers with the homies in the backyard in tents without having to say “pause” extension cords to hook up ps1 Rival Schools, Tekken and Power Stone on Dreamcast in the tents. Costco pizza, one side cheese, one side pepperoni. Walkman’s and CD players so we all knew the same songs and didn’t have to sort thru billions of artists that sound the same. Back when weed was illegal and kept you high all day off one spliff in the morning. Back when we all listened to Rap, Rock and Metal. When Simpson’s was actually good. Wasting quarters on big kids who beat you at Mortal Kombant 1 in the arcades. Back Lord. Back…

[@jonathanmurray4967]

Its funny I woke up yesterday with The intention of trying to dry out... I'm a drunk... and this song stuck in my head. Then I'm told that that songs about being a drunk, and needing to dry out, so he asked his buddy to drive him out to a reef in a boat and leave him there stranded till the next low tide, without any booze. Makes perfect sense. " Lord knows I'm week won't somebody get me off a this reef."
