40oz. To Freedom is one of the few albums that I can just let play all the way through to the end. A true work of art. Bradley and the boys were at the top of their game. R.I.P. Mr. Knowell
Sometimes when I listen to this song I get emotionally flashed back to EXACTLY how I felt at age 14 when I first heard of sublime and also happened to first try smoking weed. It's crazy how music can trigger such vivid memories!
+feartheglosshh dude.. I get that exact same feel..SUCH an intense emotion, vividness like you said, of the feeling back then. I also am remembering a time when I was 14, though along with the bud was excessive DXM use at that time in my life..Such a weird (and euphoric and nostalgic) flashback of feelings. The exact neurons firing off in my brain at the time, my mind mentally masturbating to the creative funk known as sublime, at the time an unknown band to me. Specifically this song brings back the memories most of discovering sublime and basking in all their glory, all high and innocent and young and unknowing. gah I miss it. I love sublime though, couldnt have discovered anything greater.
Allan Ostermann They also covered "Scarlet Begonias" by the Grateful Dead....and made it their own. A cover song has to have a new sound, and they nailed it.
The Specials covered about 3 of the maytals tracks..not to mention The Clash's brilliant version of pressure drop.. must be the most covered group out there!
@@joemackenzie7417 311 covers a few Clash songs and a couple older reggae songs as well like Who's Got the Herb & Leaving Babylon. All excellent covers. Rage Against the Machine's How I Could Just Kill a Man is another great one.
My love of reggae grew as I got older and I grew up listening to sublime but as I got older and listened to various reggae artists I was like “so wow that’s who sublime was referencing” listening to toots and others like barrington, toots and billy boyo
It's really comforting in today's world of music to know that the long beach sound is still alive and reaching people. Sublime will never die. R.I.P. Bradley.
No not at all. I mean he was high a lot of the time so that could've affected his playing a little bit, but he was really something else when the focus was there.
As a bassist, I want to just agree, I do. :D However, their unique sound really comes from how all of them really mesh well together. I've listened to them since Bradley, and.. well you know. :D Remove any of the elements and you lose that unique sound.
'Some jealous punk snuck up around my back, tried to take that lovin' over me. Lord I got into a fist fight and wound up in jail all night' Only Brad could take lyrics like that and sing them in a beautiful, simplistic way.
Man it's been a while. When I remanence about the 90's in high school, I think about Smashing Pumpkins, Phish, STP, Poe, Mazzy Star, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Rage, Triple 6....you know there's so many more! Totally missed Sublime.
Anyone that hasn't heard the Toots and the Maytals original of this song, get off your ass and listen to that absolute reggae masterpiece. What are you doin' already?!? Go listen!
Ok, Sublime is what they pretented, they even made the link between Jamaïca and New Orleans, wich was real. Anyway, please, listen to Toots first. All Toots. All.
How weird it is to think back and realize that the years when Sublime was my favorite band at the time were following years when Nirvana was my favorite at the time prior. What a drastic change. I still love both very much, bit I must day, I remember my "Sublime era" as undoubtedly happier times. Not blaming either band, as I feel they reflected my inner feelings much of which was to do with my life & circumstances at the time. As well as teenage angst a bit I imagine. Lol
Toots !!!! I was able to see them live last February.. amazing show, so much energy.. I seen sublime with Rome live as well, they were great... I never had to opportunity to see the original sublime, Bradley was amazing
as much as i love edm and house, sublime will always be my favorite band. ive been listening to them since i was born, truly the best music in my mind. RIP Brad
come down and take the charge on me been there done that love ya bradley R.I.P you still carry your heart and soul through the people you have touched and changed with your music there will never be another
I haven't listened to this version in almost a decade. If you don't know that this a Toots & the Maytals song I would urge you to listen to the original.
Do you believe I would take such a thing with me And give it to a police man? I wouldn't do that, I wouldn't do that If I did that would you say, "sir come down and put the charge on me"? I wouldn't do that, I wouldn't do that I'm not a fool to hurt myself, but I was innocent to what they done to me They were wrong, they were wrong Give it to me, one time Give it to me, two times Give it to me, three times Give it to me, four times Oh 5446 what's my number? What's my number now? Right now somebody else has that number One more time 5447, what's my number? What's my number now? Right now somebody else has that number Say, Boops, say, one go with him up, yes Say, Boops, say, want keep him, keep him on his back, sing! Say, Boops, say, me want to take off her dress, huh Say, Boops, say, I've kissed and caressed Cause we're jillin' and we're chillin' into the club all night We're jillin' and we're chillin' into the club all night, buds Hearin the dogs, feeling the beat, into the dog pound DJ, "Lord have his grilled cheese" Some jealous punk Snuck up around the back Tried to take the lovin' over me Lord I got into a fist fight And wound up in jail all night Ah give it to me one time (ohh yes, ooh my pussy) Give it to me two times Give it to me three time Give it to me four time People listen up don't stand to near I've got something that you all should hear All lies, all the lies she told to me Make a little part of history I was always taught that boy meets girl Fall in love, get married and forget the world Nine months later, the sweet baby's on the way Kiss 'em on the cheek and life's okay I don't feel, no pain. I don't have, no time To listen to conflicting points of view Oh it's a crazy world to live alone A ball and chain I call my own People listen up don't stand to close I've got something that you all should know Holy matrimony is not for me Rather die alone in misery I was always taught that boy meets girl Fall in love, get married and forget the world Nine months later, the sweet baby's on the way Isn't that what they used to say? With a girl that you knew, And the bonds that we grew Turned into a ball and chain I step into the great unknown On a ball and chain I call my own Crazy world to live alone With a girl And the bonds that we grew Turned into a ball and chain Oh, I step into the great unknown With a ball and chain I call my own Because marriage doesn't work in the world today It's an institution that is in decay And if I have love I wish to portray I will surely find another way Because I was always taught that boy meets girl Fall in love, get married and forget the world Nine months later the sweet baby's on the way Kiss 'em on the cheek and life's okay I don't feel no pain, I don't have no time To listen to conflicting points of view I step into the great unknown On a ball and chain I call my own
+Justice RA (justice5150) On youtube the same clip can sometimes come through processed at a higher or lower pitch than the original. I know it from uploading my own music, Sometimes a tune will feed consistently at A443 for weeks, then drop to A338. I don't have an explanation, but it is true.
+milnoid really? thats quite an interesting fact if true...Not doubting you of course haha, sounds like you're right. Can anyone else confirm this? So have you tested the note/octave being produced from your same exact upload over time and you have seen it change?
Grunge rock needed to hang its head after this groove fest came out in 1992. Masterpiece like Darkside OTM or Sgt Pepper or Nvrmind the Bollocks ...you had to be there...caught a moment
have you ever noticed that Bradley says 5446 then 5447,i noticed that when i was sooper dooper high and thought about it and it because somebody else has that number.
Question is if he was still alive today would sublime evolved into something better than a garage band that happened to have a singer with an amazing voice. They've recruited Rome, also has a voice, but the band is the same to me, if not worsened. I love sublime, this is no diss, just curious what others think.
One of my favorite songs of all time. Sure, it's a cover of two other songs but Brad really rocked them out to perfection. Check out the original 5446, it's so good as well. Toota and Maytals.
40oz. To Freedom is one of the few albums that I can just let play all the way through to the end. A true work of art. Bradley and the boys were at the top of their game. R.I.P. Mr. Knowell

NOWELL ...JEZZ
So true! There aren't many albums I can play through either, but this one definitely is one of those rare gems. The songs are timeless! ❤️
No truer statement has ever been stated
40 ounces of freedom is the equivalent of a message in a bottle means the bottle gotta be emptying it's ounces of liquid so to speak.... Right.
Sometimes when I listen to this song I get emotionally flashed back to EXACTLY how I felt at age 14 when I first heard of sublime and also happened to first try smoking weed. It's crazy how music can trigger such vivid memories!
That's me right now
rolling one to this now takes me back to high-school every time, jncos, doc martens, chain wallets

+Bj Ellison same here. Did you grow up on the Jersey Shore too??
Eight months goes by fast, damn.
This is so frickin' wonderful. They took the awesome Toots song (and Toots is the underrated king of reggae) and made it their own. MISS YOU BRADLEY!!
Allan Ostermann They also covered "Scarlet Begonias" by the Grateful Dead....and made it their own. A cover song has to have a new sound, and they nailed it.
And 'We're only gonna die...' Punk, reggae, dub, ska fusion all over the fucking place.
Allan Ostermann Sublime has some great covers for sure! My favorite is Hope!!
Saw Toots at Langerado. I cried when he played it.
Also took some from a punk band called Secrete Hate.
sublime has arguably some of the best cover songs out there
Agreed, some of their cover songs are the best out there. The great thing is, their originals are some the best originals ever produced.
The Specials covered about 3 of the maytals tracks..not to mention The Clash's brilliant version of pressure drop.. must be the most covered group out there!
Nirvana is the only other band I can think of that straight mainstreaned(in a good way) other bands songs. So sick

10 year old comment and it's STILL going strong
11 years and I'm in long beach
The Bass lines used in Sublime songs is what gives it their unique sound...Long Live Sublime..R.I.P Bradley you are still remembered :)
Yes!!! Amen to that. Bradley was actually way above average with the guitar work as well. His fills and rhythmic timing were especially on point.
Paul White I read he never sounded good playing live but is this true?
No not at all. I mean he was high a lot of the time so that could've affected his playing a little bit, but he was really something else when the focus was there.
Paul White Any shows were his focus is dead on? I have never seen any myself.
As a bassist, I want to just agree, I do. :D However, their unique sound really comes from how all of them really mesh well together. I've listened to them since Bradley, and.. well you know. :D Remove any of the elements and you lose that unique sound.
This is why I love Sublime! The more I dig into the original versions of these songs the more I realize what a bad ass Bradley was....
'Some jealous punk snuck up around my back, tried to take that lovin' over me. Lord I got into a fist fight and wound up in jail all night'
Only Brad could take lyrics like that and sing them in a beautiful, simplistic way.

Sublime is the reason for my love of bass guitar. Good riffs.
That part when he sings "lord i got into a fist fight[...]" gives me chills EVERY damn time. Amazing.
ik such a nice part.
My dad was listening to this when he was a teen getting stoned and cruising around now here is his 17 year old kid doing the same thing he's now 38...
Every song they did was so full...RIP so much talent incredible. So many memories of being 13 and driving to the surf
This is my favorite sublime song from my favorite sublime album.
This song takes me way back. I miss the 90's.
Brad has such an incredible voice
Oh stop it, you're making me blush.
bradley camp this isn't reddit.
James Baxter The fact that you know what reddit is makes me question your sexuality.
takes one to know one, figit.
5446
Best song on the entire album.. This song has gotten me throw many a hard time. Life changer
Anyone that hasn't heard the Toots and the Maytals original of this song, get off your ass and listen to that absolute reggae masterpiece. What are you doin' already?!? Go listen!
Like original, and Sublime. 💖💖
all we had to do is follow the damn train CJ
Toots kicks ass all over the place
Ok, Sublime is what they pretented, they even made the link between Jamaïca and New Orleans, wich was real. Anyway, please, listen to Toots first. All Toots. All.

Such a great cover! Always brings me back to good memories!!
2019 and still my favorite song!! Crazy to think off all the years gone by..
Toots !!!! I was able to see them live last February.. amazing show, so much energy.. I seen sublime with Rome live as well, they were great... I never had to opportunity to see the original sublime, Bradley was amazing
as much as i love edm and house, sublime will always be my favorite band. ive been listening to them since i was born, truly the best music in my mind. RIP Brad
Edm and house is a joke
this music i would jam too during my first experience of depression. still good ten years later.
Did things get better?
same, so much better than listening to sad music
quite possibly the best song from the album.
Oh the memories.😋😁🥰😛🦄🧚♀️ I don't listen much Sublime now. But when I do it's on!!!!
come down and take the charge on me been there done that love ya bradley R.I.P you still carry your heart and soul through the people you have touched and changed with your music there will never be another
The last generation of great music.
No shit
5446 is amazing. This is the way to do a cover, make it in your own style. RIP Brad🙏🙏
I haven't listened to this version in almost a decade. If you don't know that this a Toots & the Maytals song I would urge you to listen to the original.
Yea we know. And that's not the
I bought the original. I was there.
Heck yeah! Love this song plus band!
I had an AF number in LA County. I wonder how many times that went around.
This was my shit when I was getting blazed
Never stop blazin' :)
I wouldn't do that
Awesome HQ, Ball and Chain is surfing/snowboarding in song form
Smoke shit for days, don't sleep and listen to sublime. Thats when I started loving Sublime's music. RIP Bradley
Still gettin' wasted in L.B.
You gotta check out the band "Law"...its Brad's son,sounds just like his daddy....
One of my favorite songs! 🎵
Badfish does the memory of Sublime justice. Its fucking beautiful.
R.I.P Bradley & Lou dog
Shay D Badfish is awesome, saw em in st. Louis last year
Do you believe I would take such a thing with me
And give it to a police man?
I wouldn't do that, I wouldn't do that
If I did that would you say, "sir come down and put the charge on me"?
I wouldn't do that, I wouldn't do that
I'm not a fool to hurt myself, but I was innocent to what they done to me
They were wrong, they were wrong
Give it to me, one time
Give it to me, two times
Give it to me, three times
Give it to me, four times
Oh 5446 what's my number? What's my number now?
Right now somebody else has that number
One more time 5447, what's my number? What's my number now?
Right now somebody else has that number
Say, Boops, say, one go with him up, yes
Say, Boops, say, want keep him, keep him on his back, sing!
Say, Boops, say, me want to take off her dress, huh
Say, Boops, say, I've kissed and caressed
Cause we're jillin' and we're chillin' into the club all night
We're jillin' and we're chillin' into the club all night, buds
Hearin the dogs, feeling the beat, into the dog pound
DJ, "Lord have his grilled cheese"
Some jealous punk
Snuck up around the back
Tried to take the lovin' over me
Lord I got into a fist fight
And wound up in jail all night
Ah give it to me one time (ohh yes, ooh my pussy)
Give it to me two times
Give it to me three time
Give it to me four time
People listen up don't stand to near
I've got something that you all should hear
All lies, all the lies she told to me
Make a little part of history
I was always taught that boy meets girl
Fall in love, get married and forget the world
Nine months later, the sweet baby's on the way
Kiss 'em on the cheek and life's okay
I don't feel, no pain. I don't have, no time
To listen to conflicting points of view
Oh it's a crazy world to live alone
A ball and chain I call my own
People listen up don't stand to close
I've got something that you all should know
Holy matrimony is not for me
Rather die alone in misery
I was always taught that boy meets girl
Fall in love, get married and forget the world
Nine months later, the sweet baby's on the way
Isn't that what they used to say?
With a girl that you knew,
And the bonds that we grew
Turned into a ball and chain
I step into the great unknown
On a ball and chain I call my own
Crazy world to live alone
With a girl
And the bonds that we grew
Turned into a ball and chain
Oh, I step into the great unknown
With a ball and chain I call my own
Because marriage doesn't work in the world today
It's an institution that is in decay
And if I have love I wish to portray
I will surely find another way
Because I was always taught that boy meets girl
Fall in love, get married and forget the world
Nine months later the sweet baby's on the way
Kiss 'em on the cheek and life's okay
I don't feel no pain, I don't have no time
To listen to conflicting points of view
I step into the great unknown
On a ball and chain I call my own
Love Sublime... one of my jams senior year!!!
Its a great song of sublime brad i miss you....sublime ATR YEAH

Going just by my raw ear I would say it is higher pitched for sure. But goddamn a great fucking tune!
True. I was learning this song and when i played i sounded lower than the album version. Its higher pitched. If you see live concerts they sound lower
toots and the maytals cover. Jah rastafari!
yes i miss sublime my favorite ska band evef
fav sublime song here ♥
Reminds me of DJing. I'm amazed my copy of this still plays.
Long LIVE!!! Reggae...Long LIVE!!! Sublime
A great ska punk on a reggae classic!
lord have this grilled cheese
heard this song 100s of times and never heard that i shit you not as soon as i read your comment is when he said it. that was a trip. 🤙🏻😎
SUBLIME BABY OH YEAH!! Favorite band ever!!!!
one of my favorites too but this song it is a cover, the original is from a reggae band called "toot & the maytals"
You need T.P. still bro?
Best album by far!
Underrated bass. Period dot.
Mrs Taylor, wonderful comment, we support!
freaken love the saxophone solo !
This song was always a banger
it is and i can't figure out why. i have the album open in my media player and it sounds more chillin'. it's definintely more high pitched.
Fun times hanging out with brothers and cousins 💙
who else can tell this one is slightly faster and higher pitched than the original?
Fell in love with that El Segundo dude pretty cool
Ear Gasm starts here 4:00 explodes here 4:37 …WHOOOAAH! I step into the great unknown!!

have you ever noticed that Bradley says 5446 then 5447,i noticed that when i was sooper dooper high and thought about it and it because somebody else has that number.
That Is The WHOLE Point Of The Song I Think. He Denies To Having Marijuana, Then Fucks Up The Numbers. Maybe Not, That's How I Take It.
I think they he fucked up while recording and nobody really gave a shit because it was otherwise a really good take
happy birthday Brad
My favourite is Ball and Chain, When i get my band up and running, Im covering it
Does he slip into a 5447??
This is just ONE of My Favorite Songs by Sublime. They are the SHIT!
Shawn Beard im happy to know you and your family thank god for Blakes recovery i wish pray and hope everything is ok keep your head up
great song!
Cuz we chillen and we be chillen in tha club all night!
We chillen and we be chillen in that club all night!
Great audio quality, thanks ;)
Favorite song.
I like it. Shine on Bradley
whats wrong with the audio? it sounds higher than it should be...?
great album
This song just makes me remember my first heroin high, it got me high today... Fucking crazy
6 days sober and dying
I think I've listened to it 40 times today chasing the dragon
I'm still mad at you, Bradley Nowell.
WHY?
@@supastuff69leaving us way too soon
Can't be mad he died. He was able to share his unique sound that is SUBLIME!!!
Love this!!
0:43 what's that sound bit from?
porno.
1:50 best part ever
there's good "new" music out there, but you won't find it on any top 40 stations.
They're not? I'm rather ignorant of the genre and am not sure of the specifics. What genre are they then?
what two chords are used for the majority of the song?
G and c bar chords
Peter Humphrey upstrokes on the "and." ska guitar!
5446 and then 5447, did the songwriter go to prison twice? Or is it just a error
This is my favorite song.
Question is if he was still alive today would sublime evolved into something better than a garage band that happened to have a singer with an amazing voice.

Sublime died when brad died.. if he hadn’t died for sure they would have made more bangers.
it's probably not originally toots and the maytals' song either. reggae, ska and dub artists do a lot of covers.
Imagine if he didn't O.D 😭
I say dat shit everyday man i wish he was here
melissa barnes me too with my dead homies 😥
What if kurt never you know shot himself and Brad and kurty did a colab...
This song is nuts
Is it me or does this sound sped up versus the original recording?
Could u image of what sublime would of became if Brady didn’t accented into Heaven?
They would either be good or bad
Dat tempo change
dat ska
Dakkar171 it did right when I read this lol
doom?
I love sublime but they didn't write this it was originally the toots and metals check them out.
One of my favorite songs of all time. Sure, it's a cover of two other songs but Brad really rocked them out to perfection. Check out the original 5446, it's so good as well. Toota and Maytals.
This is soooo my fav. Song..
No matter how many years past i always gotta Come back and get my fix with SUBLIME RIP BRAD/LOU DOG
