What a disappointing group of bands..

Save the Mad Caddies. They'll do a damn good job.

[mybreakingpoint]

you had me at No Use For A Name
but Never Heard Of it and Denver Harbor should be great, too
not a huge Sublime fan but they're alright i'll definently pick this up
i'm loving all these tribute albums coming out

[projectmayhem16]

goddamnit, Sublime would not want a group of shitty bands making a tribute album about them, you have to draw the line somewhere and I do at Sublime.

[McDiggity]

Wow, I'm surprised Brandon didn't beat Frank in posting this tidbit...

[Throwback]

Denver Harbor can handle the reggaeish rock well. This should be good.

[DenverHarbor22]

Denver Harbor is insanely talented and will do a great job.

[Pat Marquez]

I hate Sublime.

[LilRyan732]

People are worried about mash-up albums being the new trend, but I don't think they had their minds set on tribute albums being the new hot topic.

[romantic rights]

honestly arent we going a little overboard with all the tribute albums right about now?
maybe i'll forgive them for something like a refused tribute album
but seriously, come on! enough with them already

[Ur_bandsucks]

this better be a damn good CD

[SLADE775]

I hate Sublime.



I bet I hate them more than you do.

seriously though, one of the worst bands of all time!

[brianthomas7]

I bet I hate them more than you do.

seriously though, one of the worst bands of all time!

Are you serious?

[musicpunk7]

i give mad props to sublime. but those bands shouldnt be involved in this, maybe voodoo glow or mad caddies but still, not a good idea :headshake

[Pat Marquez]

I bet I hate them more than you do.

seriously though, one of the worst bands of all time!

Are you sure about that? Haha, I realllllllly hate them.

[punkerx99]

I love Sublime. This tribute album looks shitty though.

[SLADE775]

Are you serious?


Yeah man, I have always hated everything about them. If you like em thats fine i dont care.

I rarely use the word hate by the way.

I'm pretty open to everything but they just urk the shit out of me!!!!!!

[marrost]

Sublime was one of a kind. This album will blow.

[ALucidDream]

I would love to know were you got that info from. Unless there is another tribute coming out that is dead wrong.

[Talib Scottie]

is there still a smashing pumpkins tribute on the horizon? if so when should it be out and who's on it? i have a feeling we'll get a few good cuts from that but some awful ones as well

[American Idiot]

sublime made some good songs but i hate them because they took WAY to much heroin which prevented them from being great. they shouldn't have a tribute album

[Sureshot182]

I hate Sublime.

me too.

[tallperson]

The problem with tribute albums is that they come out long after the band has broken up and no longer functions (this case being no exception). The band members can't even be consulted on such a project being completed. They have no input on anything.

This allows crappy no-name labels to get a group of crappy no-name bands to record a bunch of songs in a crappy no-name studio on a crappy no-money budget. Once the album is released, all the label has to do is pay royalties to the songwriters. Keep the checks coming and nobody gets hurt. If you need examples of bad tribute albums, look at any of the tribute albums released on Cleopatra. Same bands, same result.

Lounge-cover God Richard Cheese addresses this in the FAQ section of his site. It reads:

"5.3.2) Do you have to get their permission to include their songs on your CDs?

Nope. Doing a remake of a song is legally allowed, as long as you give proper credit to the songwriter and publisher, and as long as you pay the statutory royalty rate of 8cents per song per CD sold. For a CD such as I'D LIKE A VIRGIN, Dick sends about $1.76 total per CD out to the various publishers. More info about this procss can be obtained at www.songfile.com."

The Sublime tribute actually might turn out to be a decent tribute album since most of the bands mentioned were chums with the band in their day. However, in an era of crappy no-name tribute albums, I wouldn't be surprised to see this project ultimately fail.

Hell, even that Ramones tribute album flopped and it had mega rock stars on it and major-label money behind it!

[CorporateFish]

First off, Sublime is one of my favorite band, no matter how much drugs they did and they were one of a kind..even more a reason that they kick ass.
Second, a tribute album would be sweet. They're fun songs and would be awesome to hear covers of.
And why not add Reel Big Fish? They did a cover of Boss DJ on their album cheer up

[mediocrgreenday]

311 is the only band that i would like covering sublime.

[DJ Rejected]

GREAT!! A TRIBUTE TO ONE OF THE BEST BANDS SINCE MUSIC WAS EVER MADE. i love it. Hopefully it won't be shit like some of the tribute albums made to artists.

[Dob]

next thing we need is a blink 182 tribute album. and yes i know they didnt break up, but neither did counting crows, or third eye blind...

[lovenotwar_rx]

I would think they would have solely bands of the reggae/ska genre rather than bands like No Use for A Name. But it's still cool either way but if this turns out to be a shitty CD, it'll be pretty disrespectful to Sublime.

[CrySonic]

rx bandits used to sound similar to sublime. they would do almost any sublime song well.

[Emopunkthrice]

if Pepper isn't on this album wow....thats exactly what they sound like

I would listen to your opinion, but your going to see OAR live and for that your opinion is no longer valid.

[thetunks]

I would love to know were you got that info from. Unless there is another tribute coming out that is dead wrong.

I like the sounds of this album a lot more than the originally posted one...Jack Johnson doing sublime? Sounds like a winner

[RumpleForeskin]

OAR is an awesome band live. They're a really good jam band and I think they're pretty talented. I'd much rather go see them and chill with a bunch of mature people than sit through TSL and have to worry about girls getting their first periods on me in the crowd. To each their own though.

[MidniteVulture]

Sublime is overrated... save "Wrong Way" and "Caress Me Down".

[DooDooBird]

what's not to like about Sublime?

[burnpianoisland]

sublime is one of the best bands ever. i hope they dont fuck this up.

[I Miss Weezer]

The Starting Line? Why did you bring them up? OAR is not a good jam band, go see Rat Dog if you want to see a good jam band, they are on tour right now with Assembly of Dust. OAR is just a sub par easily marketable want to be jam band.

[jeweltosparkle]

311 is the only band that i would like covering sublime.

just because 311 wants to be Sublime doesn't mean a cover by them would be that great

I was also told our homies saosin may be doing this too and some other larger acts. We got asked to do "Disarm" which im enthused about. Ill keep you posted on more details

[CutTheStrings]

Bad bands shouldn't fuck with good music.

[jeweltosparkle]

Bad bands shouldn't fuck with good music.
agreed

especially a bunch of hardcore bands covering the goodness that is Smashing Pumpkins

[NationalProduct]

you guys wont have to worry about a thing from us for sure, we arent trying to change the sound or song, in fact we are even bringing in the USC symphony to add to the live full sound of violin, cello etc, there wont be any chugs or breakdowns from us haha
