that "dope fiend dead bastard" has sold 17 million albums and counting, and at least isn't some self-conscious little faggot who needs to talk shit about famous people online to make himself feel better. and, in case you didn't know, steve earle was a drug addict as well homie, and in case you also didn't know, this song was never intended to be released, is recorded live in the studio with them fucking around and shit, brad starts simply talking to his band mates in the middle of the recording. this wasn't something they were going to put out into the world normally, it was put on their box set of rarities and outtakes. because it is a rarity, and it IS an outtake. have you even heard this recording?
Hey, the original version is brilliant, but this isn't meant as a cover since it only has two lyrics from the original!.. It's a 'Freestyle', which should be added to its title!
Sure, Brad may have butchered the lyrics, but he sounded damn good doing it, and this was mostly a freestyle. "Running down the road with a pistol in your hand, you are the Babylon..." This is one of my favorite Sublime songs because it's just so free and spontaneous. It reminds me of 91 Freestyle, but it's better than that, because it has more substance to it. God, I love Sublime bootlegs and Everything Under the Sun. Best investment I made when it comes to Sublime.
Love this fucking song. It's one of the freest and purest forms of music ever. I love the spontaneity and the free flowing nature of this song. It really shows the true nature of Sublime, and how they were all about the reggae and their live performance skills to just go into a jam and make it really good. Another great song on ETUS is 91 Freestyle...has a similar feel about it, although it is not as clear sounding. Amazing band, amazing lead singer, amazing bassist, petty good drummer. That's what you need to...

Steve Earle wrote this song, this is a great song but poorly interpreted by this dope fiend dead bastard
Brad Nowell wrote real music about real life struggles. yea he sings about being on drugs but at the same time telling the dangers of it. if u dont like the sublime version then dont listen to it and go back to sucking steve earls dick. if u have anything else to get off your breast, feel free.

Yeah, so Bradley did drugs, and he was out of it some of the time, forgot words to songs, etc. But that makes him human and although the song was poorly interpreted, it still sounds pretty damn good. Bradley had problems, we all know, but he was a unique talent that just pulled you into his world. Just because he forgot a few lyrics and made a few mistakes doesn't make him a "dope fiend dead bastard."

I think Bradley was depressed because his band wasn't have the success he'd hoped it would have, and when he finally got the success, he was already too deep into numbing his feelings with drugs that it was nearly impossible to get out. He went to rehab at least a couple of times, and he really tried to get sober for his son, but addiction is a terrible, fatal disease. Especially when it involves heroin and Valium. So judge not before you fool yourself. Judge not, or you're not ready for judgment.
Steve Earle did not write the song. The original is by The Slickers, a jamaican reggae group. I have heard all the covers of this song and I must say, none come even close to the greatness of the original.
