Swingin' Ryan Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Sublime really were amazing. In The End, Wrong Way, Bad Fish, Santeria, Saw Red, Date Rape, What I got, all superb tracks.It's a shame they remain pretty widely unknown or generally forgotten about. One of my all time favourite bands. The fact they managed to fuse Dub, Reggae and Punk and not sound fucking awful is testament to their genius. Bradley Nowell was a great singer songwriter his acoustic version of Pool Shark which basically foresees his own death is amazing (if not incredibly grim).

Old Gold Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Sublime Gold kept me sane standing at a shot blaster for most of the summer. Definately an underrated band, lyrically and musically.A 40 oz to freedom is the only chance I have, to make me feel good even though I feel bad!

Hog Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 I love the Floods solo but do prefer the outro riff, that riff pawns my soul.2 other underrated solos by dime IMHOHard line, sunken cheeks 10's (although I dont like the song, I love the solo)I agree with Teabags regarding Becoming. The first time I heard that, I was blown away. A pretty different approach to a metal song (at the time)...then of course Korn did "Good god" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kharn Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 10's (although I dont like the song, I love the solo)That songs awesome, very eerie and atmospheric."My Foes, they cant destroy my body!!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bob Double Jack Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 mr crowley's solo is miles better than crazy trains. i hate these subjective lists!!!! grrrrrr..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre Von Mondragon Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 So many points to make!1-Sublime are the dingest band I ever heard, nearly2-'Whipping Post' IS a solo in itself, mm hope its the Fillmore East version, 22 minutes.3-Only twats don't like Funkadelic, this has been proven by science.4-Jake E Lee's 'Bark at the Moon' solo is the equal of anything Randy Rhoads ever did, or Zakk Wylde, and at least his name doesn't look like Slade invented it for a laugh5-The glaring omission to my eyes is Brian Tatler's 'Am I Evil' solo, hand-tooled by Swiss precision engineers or something, plus it has that rarest of qualities in a metal lead, feel.6-Chris Stein, now there is an underrated guitarist, the lead on the LP version of 'Rapture' is one of my touchstones of how to be ace without excess flash7-Wot, no George Lynch or Warren DeMartini, how the mighty have fallen.I realise that some people think its all subjective but, no; I'm right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kharn Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Bark at the moon has an awesome solo...but the effects jake used over the top completely spoil it...it takes away from the solo rather than add to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre Von Mondragon Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Hey those effects were acceptable in the 80s, the EEIIghtiees....sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
