Sublime still thinking reunion…possibly tonight?
Remember way back in November when rumors popped up that Sublime, thee Sublime, was entertaining the idea of a possible reunion? Yeah, well, the madness has failed to cease. In fact, if you believe the latest round of rumors, the Long Beach based outfit could be getting back together as soon as tonight.
Speculation centers around a show scheduled to take place at Reno, Nevada’s Cantina Los Hombres tonight. The bill is said to feature former Sublime drummer Bud Gaugh’s new outfit, Del Mar, along with “special guests,” ones which Gaugh notes on the band’s MySpace are must sees: “Trust us, you will kick yourself in the ass with spiked steel-toe boots if you miss this show.”
If you combine the fact that a Sublime reunion has been rumored for months with the “Del Mar w/ Special Guest-S**Lime” event listing currently appearing on Cantina Los Hompres’ webpage, it certainly appears as if Gaugh could reunite with former bandmate Eric Wilson this evening.
Of course, unless Bradley Nowell is resurrected from the grave, tonight’s performance would be just as much a reunion of the Long Beach Dub Allstars as it would be of Sublime. That being said, when the aforementioned rumors hit the web last November, Guagh and Wilson were said to be searching for a frontman to replace Nowell. Could they have finally found someone? Looks like we’ll find out soon enough…
i missed it.
i like in the same city.
heard nothing about it until the next day.
:/
how disappointing.
Sublime runion?! HELL YEAH ! Go for it guys. I also want to see bu’s new band, Del Mar. Heard they are kick ass.
as i agree you can’t make sublime again, i wouldn’t mind hearing them play with a front man who is some what like bardly. at least that would be better than a cover band lol i just want to rock out to those tunes again and at least i will only be missing the the head of the band lol but after a few beers it will all feel good and it’s sublime, who doesn’t want to rock out to them again? we really never had enough of it to begin with so i say to the sublime out there, go for it, make some cash have some fun you already sold a ticket here
I was there last night. It was Eric, Bud, & Rome. You can never replace Brad.. but it was a bad-ass show!!! Rome has a great voice, guitar skills, and killer energy. It does more justice to the music to play it live then to let it rest forever only on recordings!! The crowd was thirsty for this show and the energy was surreal!! They dedicated the set to Brad & said it was the first time they had played those songs live in about 15 years! They played a new song too which sounded pretty bad ass!
Also, Cantina Los Tres Hombres is in Sparks, not Reno, for the record!!
Can’t be any worse than the reunited Blind Melon….
Attn Robert “Plante” fans…
Learn to spell!!!!!
…courtney love could fill in on vocals/guitar.
haha.
a nirvana reunion is around the corner.
secret coachella saturday headliner, anyone?
didnt he die lol
Brad Nowell = Robert Plante? Haaaahahahahahahha!!!!!!!
There can’t be a Sublime reunion, it’s just not possible. That’s like saying a Nirvana reunion is around the corner.
While I don’t know that I would quite attach legendary status to Nowell, I do think this is an absolutely silly idea. May as well just go see that Badfish band instead.
Replacing Brad Nowell is about as pointless as trying to replace Robert Plante. Once a legend, always a legend, just try and STAY a legend.
