- We are joined by Jakob Nowell, the creative force of Jakobs Castle also a drug addict in recovery! Jakob was born into SoCal Rock and Roll Royalty. His father Bradley Nowell was the lead singer, songwriter and guitar player in legendary So-Cal punk/reggae/alternative legendary band SUBLIME. Bradley tragically died at age 28 when Jakob was only a 1 year old. Now, Jakob is 28 and is the new lead singer and guitar player for SUBLIME.
Jakob tells his whole story of drug addiction and recovery and what it was like with the pain, pleasure and pressure of being a musician in Southern California and the intensity of stepping into the shoes of his dead in order to be a 'custodian of the legacy' of SUBLIME!
Sublime fans adore you Jakob. We see you.
This right here.
For real.. if you’re a true Sublime fan, you know how much Bradley loved his Dog even let alone his only son!!!! He doesn’t have to try to be anything other than himself… Bradley is a part of him already.
for real, what an amazing video, the more i hear jakobs stories and point of views... the more im like, Damn this dude is truly great.
I think all Sublime fans need to see this interview with our nephew. We adore you Jakob. You don't have to try, you just have to be you and magic happens. I lost my dad when I was 14 and he was 43. I'm now 43. My dad loves and played music 🎸. Also, I think growing up that way/environment gives you that passion and pain needed for this kind of thing. Much love and success to you. Thanks for this interview brother!! ❤
Great words ,it is magical 💕
As someone who saw sublime live in 1995 I'm beyond stoked to see Jakob fill in for his dad is just perfect. It's always been the music of choice for me while waxing my boards getting ready to surf, it's just the vibes that make me feel alive. I never realized how much this music affects me until I saw sublime at Coachella. Sublime is back. RIP Bradley but man your son is killing it👍. I think I can speak for other Sublime fans in saying this is huge!!
I wish BRAD Lived, made more Music, and was alive to be in his son's Life..
what a humble and grounded dude, big ups Jakob. Thank you for being you.
We got our tix for Sublime in Orlando, can’t believe it, I was 17 in ‘96, just so happy to see this happen… and so happy for not just Jakob but Eric and Bud, they deserve this so mich
You’re lucky bro. I’m from Orlando- now I live on Maui. But I didn’t find out about Sublime and how much I loved them until summer 96’😢
I bought 3 albums from Peaches on E. colonial. That’s the most I’ve ever spent on music in one day. ❤
Dude is so humble! RESPECT ONE LOVE
Jakob was AMAZING at Coachella I can’t get over it!! Made my heart feel warm and fuzzy 🥰
Great young man. Extremely talented. And seems to have a really good head on his shoulders. Best of luck to Jakob and sublime. The fans really appreciate what they're doing.
I have been sober for almost 4 years from a 12 year hell. I can relate to Jakob. My dad was also a musician and grew up with stories about him jamming with the velvet underground, having dinner with The Rolling Stones and made guitars for Keith Richard’s, ect. I was surrounded by the rock lifestyle even as a child playing Barbie’s in the room next door while my dad was playing music with drinking buddies and in the room next to me. I have major hearing loss lol. But overall, I had the muse bug and started playing music to express myself but I added drugs into the mix. The relationship was so good but so depressing at the same time. I haven’t picked up a guitar in 6 months. It makes me happy but since I related my drug use w/ playing music, having a hard time. Thank you Jakob, I think I will take my fake nails off and tune up.
Me too my sister. Finally broke away from opiates after 20 years. How I'm alive idk but I'm here and still taking it a day at a time 8 years later. Proud of you for real.
Congrats to you both… going toward that road this week!
@@Jermy777 you can do it! And you Deserve to be happy!
Today is my 10 months... 25 rehabs OD on Fentanyl
@@jenna_jayythank you I appreciate your comment and I’m once again trying this weekend ❤
i am 44 yr old and a Sublime fan. Today i learned about Jakob Nowell, i really hope and wish all the best to Jakob. He is bright and he has a lot of potential as a musician!
I remember being devasted upon hearing about Bradleys death. He was such a great entertainer, and such a shame that he passed right when Sublime was really making a name for themselves . Best wishes to you Jakob . Thanks for keeping the vibe going!!
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111
Same! 💯👏
How does this not have 100k views?!?! What a gem!
Bravo Jakob for carrying the Torch! Love this new version of Sublime. You make a lot of Sublime fans Happy! You make my heart Happy. Magical 28 years, so spiritual. Bless
Your soul, for carrying this musical journey onward & upward. You are cleaning the Karma of tragedy. Keep Kicking ass
Thx for sharing your story Jakob. As a Sublime fan and a fellow sober person I really found it interesting and inspiring. Not gonna lie, super stoked you e decided to take on the roll of lead singer for Sublime, but also just checked out Jakobs Castle on Spotify and I’m diggin it! Cheers man! Thx for sharing.
Bradley made me pick up a guitar 🎸 and it changed my life ! Thank you 🙏
This is a gift from God! The happy ending know one expected! I'm instantly a fan Jakob!
If i can be jealous of 1 person, it would be this guy. Please stay away from heroin/fentanyl!! Make your dad proud bro! I can't wait to hear what's next
This interview is so well done & flows to perfection. Jakob is an amazing talent and I can’t wait to see you perform.
This young man's father made so much money and quite an impact musically. It saddens me to think that he had to grow up in that type of environment. I think that had his father lived, his musical contributions would have changed the scene tremendously. He's very well spoken, really intelligent, nice looking. I certainly wish the best for him.
I don’t think his dad made a lot of money. Bradley passed away before the big fame and money came. But I agree it’s sad how he had to grow up.
They discuss it in the interview-Brad died JUST as Sublime was hitting it big so unfortunately they didn’t ever have the opportunity to your big and make money
Thanks Jacob ! You answered all of my questions! Much love dude !
What a great interview! I had no idea he was so intelligent and well spoken, and didn't know much about his journey, but I'm so glad I watched this. He's a really impressive guy and he's awesome with Sublime
Jim jam the sublime album in 95 when I was in prison. Sober now living a blessed life. Do your thing Young brother
Absolutely ❤ the honesty in this interview. Thanks for sharing your story. Heartbreaking but inspiring.
Listened to this interview and coming back to watch the video after seeing Jakobs Castle the other night. Listening to him talk about trying or not trying to emulate his dad’s sound, his singing with Jakobs Castle blows me away because it sounds so much like Bradley even more than when he’s singing Sublime songs because he owns it. Also cool to see him sober up there because his vocals are soooooo perfect-the pitch and agility were just amazing. Excited to see what happens for Jakob personally and with his uncles in Sublime!
Awesome interview!! So glad to see j stepping into his Dad as well...!
Excellent vibes! Blessings ❤🎸
Jakob ,thank you ! You are such a beautiful soul. God bless you ! Sublime is Back ❤
What an amazing interview. As someone who discovered sublime when what I got came out and never got to see Brad, I enjoyed seeing Sublime with Rome several times at festivals, but it felt less and less genuine each time. Jakob is authentic and great in his own right. The new single with Stick Figure is a banger!
This was phenomenal! 🙌I had no idea Jakob was truly sober. Right on man! 💜
Jakob’s soul is beautiful and I feel like I’m getting that little alien signal now from him
God bless! Glad to see you doing good!
I love getting to know Jakob as a person. He has a very interesting story. Just saw him at Brightside Festival and he did amazing! Made us all proud.
I'm awestruck by how forthright Jakob is with his story. Really impressive for him to be 28 and have these experiences and relate them in this way.
I knew one day this would come.And I’m so glad it has finally came.Blessing having Brads son take over for his dad at the same age Brad left us
Great interview, thank you. 🥰
I've waited for this for sooooooooooo long! Love you Jakob🙏
This is magical,music is immortality put into song to enjoy and capture the souls 💓
I absolutely love sublimes music. You can tell that Jakob Nowells is a well-rounded human with a strong spirit, which only adds to the bands legacy. That being said, i hope people don't start to ask more of him as if he owes others something. He seems fairly graounded, which is a great quality when it comes to being associated with such a great band.
Very happy for him. He sounds just like his dad. Please release some more new songs and tour north America please!!
Great interview! Jakob seems like a great guy. Sorry to hear he had to go through shit. I'm glad he was able to turn his life around because he has so much to offer as a musician and singer. I look forward to seeing him live someday! 🌞
Fantastic interview
I hope Jakob watched my episode. I watched his! Great show !
I like that guy so bad! Im rooting for him!
Dude how does this video not have more views 😭
Jakob is so chill man I hope I can meet him this Saturday
Great episode! 👍🏽
Love this episode ❤❤❤❤
Jakob you are killing it and repping your dad so well while being your own person. Well done Sir! 👏❤️💛💚🔥
Sublime is back baby!
Just keep working 💪
I can't wait to hear some new Sublime. As greatful as you feel. We are all. ALL of American Culture. We are all greatful too. so you're Not the only Alien.
There are millions of us who recovered from a drug or pill that could have killed us too.
I'm free from the grip of death, but I Still drink and party.
It's like all the planets have aligned. We lost beautiful planets along the way.
But this is destiny bro. And you're shining so much light on us all.
Don't think of it as a duty that you feel like you have to do to complete a circle that wasn't finished by your father.
Most dads Don't want their kids to do the same things they did.
They want you to be better than they was, because YOU are better.
No matter what's going on. Throughout all of human history. All parents want to build a strong foundation for their children and family after their life, to succeed and life life better than they did.
And I believe humanity is still on the right track to build a strong future.
And you are an extremely strong block to let the world know, we are great, and we can be greater.
You're a ray of fucking sunshine man. You're Smart and Bright .
You acknowledge the Hand you were dealt.
You've fallen down like us all, but you're making the best of life with the cards you have left in this hand.
And I fucking love it ❤
Don't follow your dad's footsteps.
Press your new ones in the sand of his last step.
And take us to a better new place brother 🌞
Life is a gift, like a cool new toy for Christmas.
Make the most of this gift. It doesn't last forever, but it last as long as we can make it.
Today is my 10 months. 25 rehabs. OD on fentanyl. This was what I needed to watch
Congrats! 🤟
@@DopeyPodcast Thank You
HEs lived his whole life witha constant reminder of death. You imagine sublime to be happy good times . also no one talks about how physically demanding itisto be in a modern band you have 10 pound guitars strapped to your neck for hours it will f up your back eventually.
Sublime is a timeless fun feeling time capsule of the 90s fun party scene when the internet wasn't a thing, and everybody wasmt strung out and strangleheld by big pharma and street drugs where everyones dying from.a simpler time, where even ppls problems where just slightly simpler
Very well said ❤
Much love Jacob. Doing your dad proud brother. Come to Atlanta and play
This was a great talk about life, awesome interview! 🙌🏻
I remember seeing your pics as a bebe... awww. You know we love yer papa, yea? all the best to you!!
I love this kid! Gosh, I just know his dad is proud! And my goodness he sounds just like him😢 he was so good at Coachella!
Is it confirmed that he’s the new lead singer?
He is. Sublime with Rome are playing previously scheduled dates for 2024, but Sublime is playing a few festivals with Jakob and then in 2025 it’s Jakob as front man
It makes me feel good, too.
Great interview. Hope this gets out there and gets the attention it deserves. Jakob seems like a really great guy
Jakob your dad is smiling down my brother.
I don't know if Dave ever looks at any of the comments here but I just wanted to say thank you for doing what you do. ❤
Thank you!!!
8:40 “it makes me feel good “. . .
EXACTLY ! ! ! !
Fucking awesome! I grew up on Bradley Nowell. A true fucking legend. I just wrote to the Bradley Nowell foundation regarding a matter concerning my blog. Jakob is definitely doing the dew. Ur both rockstars! Thank you for this, Dopey! 😊
🫶🏼🌞Wonderful!
Thank You guys!!!
✨🙏🏽😌🙏🏽✨🙏🏽🌞🙏🏽🪷🙏🏽🤩✨
Incredible interview Dopey. My wife and I feel the same when we hear his voice. I get emotional and miss my dad but the whole time Jacob sings I’m happy. He has a great head on his shoulders and he deserves every blessing to come.
Thanks for watching! Stay strong, Dopey Nation!
Wow what an amazing interview
Thanks!
Yes yes yes long overdue so glad you guys are making music and doing shows ! Love Sublime my son’s named Bradley btw 😂 what I got my all time favorite song.
The universe gave us a gift . . .
He has had a crazy life. Glad he has come this far.
I hope you keep practicing and your fef. Killing it out there. It is one of the awsomest band stories continued. It could not happen to a better band.
52:29 Respects Jakob 🤘🎸🤘 So Nice to get to be there your voice is so loud after all these years won’t you break me off a piece it’s only fair give me a little lovin won’t you give me share. You nailed it Jakob, bars, straight bars and the nod like give me my share, aww you straight killed it dude 🤘Stoked to hear you hopefully write more music with Eric and Bud. Thrown in lyrics by your dad is just an added blessing we fans are grateful for and appreciate you understanding what your fathers music meant to so many of us dude. Your music is rad also and you sound good on that new Sublime track man. 🤘
Saw Sublime at No Values!! If anyone ever gets the chance to see Sublime, GOO!!
Most musicians I know maybe one or two song on the whole album but SUBLIME ohhh boy every fucking song slaps hard I grew up listening and damn this makes me happy to see his son take on his legacy ❤
ALL THE sublime fan love ya bro!!!
Great stuff, keep up the good work!
I miss Bradley 😞 such a tragic loss ,man I fucken hate hate DRUGZ,
Crushin’
The bridge, will be a new Sublime album to carry the torch into the new world bro. Atleast do one. But I would love to hear as many songs as you can all write together in the time we all have left.
It would be Monster gift to humanity.
Then the torch is in your hands to carry into the future and truely come back, bring back a piece to humanity that we lost and desperately need back.
Live it up like you're doing right now. Keep it going exactly like you're doing right now, today bro.
I don't really believe in destiny, but I believe in free will. And I know you are genuine. You're doing this because it feels right, and it's because it is right!
It’s just dumb how much he sounds and acts like his dad, but still he’s his own dude!
I love you Jakob
I think Jakob is the appropriate person to carry the torch for Brad in Sublime. Rome isn't a bad dude and I respect him helping keep sublime alive but Bud and Eric seem more comfortable keeping it familia.
Jakob you are sublime bubba don't worry about a thing see when you come to va beach
It’s crazy how a lot of the greatest musicians all died in their late 20’s from drugs or alcohol abuse.
Id love to hear him do Ball and chain... My favorite Sublime song 💕
Yes so cal culture…it’s Santa Barbra to San Diego (approximately) I grew up in Orange County California and I love it
Give us a new sublime album!!!
Im so glad hes just a regular guy.
Sad story to see, you would think there would have been Sublime money coming in and taking care of them or some kind of conservatorship for him. Well seems to be good now, and I am hopeful to see Sublime somewhere with him!
I love hearing you sing sublime songs. What's it like having Gen X as your target audience?
Great interview! I think you can improve the audio quality though!
Lost everyone i grew up with to opiates so i understand the pain all too much. Jakob your stance and everything on how you are going about this has worked out perfectly. You got this my dude. Anyone out there please get sober im tired of losing my people.
Couldn’t agree more!!! People need to stay sober and learn how to get high on just life, love and experiences!!! That should be more than enough! You can fill your life with experiences that feed your soul and give you joy! You don’t have to use drugs and alcohol to get that. You really don’t. PS! I had my last glass of alcohol just after new year’s eve 1991 myself and I don’t do drugs (incl MJ).
Been believing in Jakob since the Gravesite Videos
this dude needs to stop interrupting Jakob lol he was fangirling so hard
39:44 I laughed so hard to Jakob’s reaction. Man, you have a sense of humor!
Feel like that was sick, I love Jakob and sublime
Thanks for checking Dopey out! Keep pushing! 🤘
Speak the truth baby boy
sad that he has no connection with his dad and it seems that the people who raised him are trash
Dope ass stories Cuz
He doesn’t seem to feel connected to the music yet, but there’s no Sublime without a Nowell. That band and music is his and I would assume his dad would see this as the only legacy he was able to leave his only son. He seems to have a good head on his shoulders and getting this gift at almost thirty means he might avoid all the crazy crap rockstars do when they get big and knows not to screw up a good thing.
Big Castle and Sublime fan here! My dog's name is Castle too 😂 ❤
Hank III ❤
