What I Got? A Sublime reunion?
Either April Fool’s Day has come six months too early or 2009 will indeed be the year of the reunion. In the latest mind-numbing rumor to surface in recent weeks (see: Blur, Genesis, The Jackson 5), Ultimate-Guitar.com is now reporting that Sublime could be reuniting next year. Yes, you read it right, and no, there was not some huge time-space disruption last night that jetted the world 
back to 1994. Despite the untimely death of frontman Bradley Nowell in 1996, Eric Wilson and Bud Gaugh could be resurrecting the legendary ska outfit for a performance at next year’s Bamboozle.
The rumor coincides with a cryptic message on the Bamboozle’s website designed to give a few early hints as to who could be appearing on the 2009 lineup of the New Jersey based festival. Among the names “decoded” include: NOFX, Maroon Five, Gorilla Biscuits, Britney Spears, and Sublime. While the inclusion of the latter obviously casts doubt on the validity of these names, organizers had previously promised something “special,” perhaps in the form of a high-profile reunion, for 2009.
For those quick-witted fans who point to the fact that a performance featuring Wilson and Gaugh would be more in the line of a return of the now deceased Long Beach Dub Allstars, Ultimate-Guitar goes on to report, this particular reunion of the two would indeed be in the form of Sublime with a TBA replacement singer/guitarist filling the void left by Nowell.

sublime without bradley is like led zeppelin without robert plant…no thanks.
its cover bands! badfish is playing, and the high profile reunion was rumored to be get up kids.
I’d be willing to give them a chance. Can’t be any worse than Blind Melon, right?
He goes by the name Rome. He’s not bad but no Bradley Nowell.
i’ll believe it when i see it
Hey whats the worst thing that could happen, o wait the worst already happened when bradley died, so i guess its worth a shot.
i cant fuckin wait
itll be the shit those guys
never let down
Sublime w/o Brad = NOTHING!
SUBLIME WITH OUT BRADLEY IS NOT THE SAME. I HERD THAT THE REPLACEMENT WOULD BE THAT FAG BILLIE JOE ARMSTRONG. IT BETTER NOT BE HIM CAUSE HE SUCKS BALLS AND IT WOULD E VERY DISRESPECTFUL TO BRADLEYS MEMORY TO REPLACE HIM WITH A FAG LIKE BILLIE JOE.
I’d see sublime without brad for the same reason I’d go see the whalers without bob marley…it’s all about the music..no, it wouldn’t be the same but I’d kill to see a sublime reunion, at least it’s better than some whackass cover band
Eric and Bud are always right on time. I don’t think it’s going to matter if the Singer is any good or not.. I just imagine everyone in the room singing every fucking word to every fucking song.
And BTW does anyone know where I can find a download for that show that LBDAS did with Born Jamericans.. ?
