When the S&!t goes down, you better be ready...

Went to Cypress Hill Smokeout tour this weekend in San Beanernegro. Paid $32 for my ticket all in. This included two full days of a solid hip hop lineup.....and Slipknot :dunno: Here was the lineup:

Friday night the place was so unbelievably empty. We did have to post up for a few hours to gradually make our way to the front for Cypress. but boy was it worth it:

Saturday we only ended up seeing Sublime. We were super late getting out of the house and then tailgated for hours....by the time we got it we had already missed Pennywise. Sublime more than made up for it though.

Sounds like you had a kick ass time

I'd love to see them live..

I haven't been to a good concert in ages. I see a few new bands at a local place, but that's about it. Looks like you had a pretty good time.

Saturday we only ended up seeing Sublime.

Having been around Sublime since they started (when I was in high school [Wilson High School, same as Brad]) I'm going to have to side with Bradley's family and call BULLSHIT on Eric and Bud reusing the Sublime name.

Brad was the chief songwriter and center of the band. Although he was severely fucked up 90% of the time, the 10% that he wasn't, he produced some damn fine music. Eric and Bud should restart Long Beach Dub All Stars or another tribute band. Not Sublime though. That's just fucking desperation :usuck:


On October 23, 2009, Nowell's family and the executors of his estate threatened Gaugh and Wilson, along with Rome, with a lawsuit if the reconstituted band uses the Sublime moniker in a statement posted on the band's official MySpace page. The statement reads as follows:
“ It was recently announced that Sublime bassist Eric Wilson and Sublime drummer Floyd 'Bud' Gaugh are 'reuniting' and teaming with singer and guitarist Rome Ramirez in a band they intend to call 'Sublime.' Prior to his untimely passing, both Bud and Eric acknowledged that Brad Nowell was the sole owner of the name Sublime. It was Brad's expressed intention that no one use the name Sublime in any group that did not include him, and Brad even registered the trademark 'Sublime' under his own name.

As Brad's heirs, and with the support of his entire family, we only want to respect his wishes and therefore have not consented to Bud and Eric calling their new project 'Sublime.' We have always supported Bud and Eric's musical endeavors and their desire to continue to play Sublime's music. We wholeheartedly supported Bud, Eric and the many talented members of the Sublime posse that formed the Long Beach Dub All-Stars, soon after Brad's death, to honor him through their original recordings, live performances and Sublime music until they disbanded in 2001. But, out of respect for Brad's wishes, we have always refused to endorse any group performing as 'Sublime,' and now with great reluctance feel compelled to take the appropriate legal action to protect Brad's legacy.

Our hope is that Brad's ex-bandmates will respect his wishes and find a new name to perform under, so as to enhance the 'Sublime' legacy without the confusion and disappointment that many fans have expressed upon seeing the announcement.[12]
”

Gaugh and Wilson also commented on the the lawsuit, saying:
“ On behalf of the band Sublime, founding members Bud Gaugh and Eric Wilson are thrilled by the opportunity to reconnect with their fans around the world. While we all mourn the passing of our brother and bandmate Bradley Nowell some thirteen years ago, Sublime still has a strong message of hope and love to share — a message that is especially important in these difficult times.

Brad's heirs apparently do not share this vision and do not want the band Sublime to continue and tried — unsuccessfully — to file a temporary restraining order to prevent the band from carrying on. Despite those objections, we are pleased that the United States District Court has allowed us to perform as Sublime for all of our fans.

We urge everyone to join us in our message of peace and love, and we look forward to sharing the music we created — the music that defines us.
