had a few vocal typos in here sorry i got nervous. anyways this vid was kinda sad so make sure to stream these artists so they can live on thru their music 💯
RIP Nick fucking Drake As sad as his story was it’s so good to see someone who was in love with their craft and knew what the pinnacle of that was and enjoyed the process of creating art regardless of what attention it gets. Sometimes amazing talents never blow up while they are here.
Bradleys son is now older than his dad was when he died.... thats how long ago it's been. One band that had moderate success after their death, was For Squirrels (sometimes spelt Four Squirrels ). They had a minor hit called "The mighty KC " about Kurt Cobain (?) but in 1995 an automobile accident took the lives of 2 of the 4 band mates as well as their tour manager. I grew up in Gainesville, where they were from, and I remember how sad alternative fans were :(
I think about Nick Drake a lot, he seemed like such a pure and genuine soul who was born at a time where we simply didn’t have the knowledge we do today to help him. At the very least his music has gone on to influence and touch so many lives, including mine. I know when I’m really going through it and need that comfort his music, and Pink Moon especially, feels like an auditory warm blanket that I can hug as tight as I need to
Shit like this makes me sad, im hoping that the afterlife is somewhat real so maybe he was able to see his success somehow, truly deserved it. Have a good day man, hope you and family is well and spread peace and love to all ❤️ sorry if i sound really jolly and shit lol just shit like this makes me sad and i just want to be in the happy side of things. Especially Nick going through alot and I am currently too, especially being a early recovering addict. All love and stay safe forever ❤️
Honestly when he said that Nick died from too many anti depressants broke my heart because I've been on a few different ones and that aching feeling of "if i take more will i finally be happy?" has hit me and probably others too. It's knowing that he probably needed some sort of other peace of mind.
Sublime was such a unique band. Brad would have been a huge superstar if he had only lived a few more months. They were incredibly authentic and genuine. They made music that they loved and basically created a whole genre of music that many have tried to imitate but no one has reached the level Sublime did.
Robert Johnson came to my mind when I think of musicians who died before they were famous. From the legendary myth of him selling his soul to the devil, to his mysterious death , and one of the earliest names to be in the "27 club". It's a fascinating story.
You can't tell me an artists' death doesn't increase their popularity. It's a weird dynamic in posthumous music that really fucks with me sometimes. Like we appreciate someone more when they aren't here anymore. Real sad.
It’s probably because of the publicity of their death alerts people to their existence. People also tend to go rally for the underdog and especially if they died young even more people will become interested. It’s sort of like the quote that a lot of people’s first bouquet of flowers is received during their funeral no one cared to do it while alive but then out of regret give them when it’s too late for the person to appreciate them.
My dad used to be friends with Nick Drake back in the 70s. My uncle was obsessed with Nick and spent loads of his time trying to learn Nicks songs, but had no clue his brother (my dad) had been friends with him until after his death. Purely because my Dad didn’t know he was into Nicks music, Nick wasn’t very famous at the time.
Pop Smoke was one tough soldier. He’s an inspiration to me to be a tougher and stronger person. I really do feel devastated about the way he went out. He deserved better but the past came back to haunt him. May Pop Smoke rest easy 🙏🏽🕊️.
A friend of mine took me to see Sublime in either 1994 or 1995. I had no idea who they were but they blew me away. I was so bummed when Bradley passed but I was thankful I got to see him live.
I immediately thought of Andrew Wood, the late singer of Mother Love Bone. Days before their debut album came out, he died of a heroin overdose at just 24 in 1990. Grunge is already a pretty sad genre since so many artists have died too soon (Kurt Cobain, Layne Staley, Mike Starr, Scott Weiland, Chris Cornell, and more), but at least they got to see success before they went. Andy would've been a star; he's recognized now as very talented, but it's not like he's here to see it and that's heartbreaking. Don't do drugs.
@@User-jk8wq it's such a good song. Great on its own, but it also adds so much to Crown of Thorns. I just love the transition bc I'm a sucker for key changes and pianos. Andy may be gone, but as long as his music's still here his memory will live on :)
ive loved your channel for a while since finding it from dontai's reactions, but the fact that you included nick drake on this list AND used him as your very first example just made me love and respect you and your channel so much more. nick drake's work has affected me so much in my life and it's such an unbelievably pleasant surprise that a channel like this would mention him and potentially spread his beautiful work to an audience that would've possibly never otherwise been exposed to it. as someone who's been touched so deeply by his story and his music, thank you.
W pfp, also same story here. Nick Drake’s music resonates so deeply with me, just his voice and acoustic guitar feels like sitting by a warm fireplace with a longtime friend
Remember hearing about Nick Drake, heartbreaking story. Its why we always gotta show love and give em their flowers now. If you feel like he did just hang on, hang on baby
It really is sad because he was so driven to create music and made some phenomenal stuff but due to circumstance he wasn’t noticed (like so many other talented artists). I hope he’s looking down and is able to see he became successful and loved like he wanted to be in life.
This was a really good video. Quite sad that they were never able to see their success that they obviously deserved, but at least they were discovered in a way and were able to get their music to reach the masses.
Nick Drake is a legend. Matty, you just revealed that Sublime went back in time to drop self titled 30 years early. I have alerted the time police they are on their way.
And, it would have been the first official MCA release as well! As, MCA didn’t exist as a full blown record label then. “Sublime” - if actually released in ‘66 - would have been a Decca Records release.
Forgot one very important artist....Otis Redding....passed before sitting on the dock of the bay was released...never experienced the success of his biggest hit...one of the greatest artists of all time, may be gone but never forgotten
Damn, it’s really friggin’ crazy how life could go from somebody being fine one second to the next, something could happen, and they could be gone just like that. In the blink of an eye, everything could change so drastically that I feel like it’s a little sickening that some musicians (as well as celebrities in general) could go their whole lives receiving very little attention for their work, and then when they die suddenly, they get all this media coverage and publicity, but it’s just like, dude, if you didn’t bother when they were alive, why now? Years later, after they’ve already died, fans would also be getting their hearts invested in someone and perhaps even want to meet them or ask questions about the person’s work. It’s bad enough that the media objectifies celebrities as is, but to acknowledge their work just because they die is really messed up. I understand that some people genuinely didn’t know about certain celebrities before their passing, but when the media goes years without covering a celebrity’s work and when the celebrity is deceased, suddenly the media is just all over it. I know that it’s not always anybody’s fault, but it just kind of stinks.
I appreciate how you use operational definitions when you make videos, its important to have that understanding with any audience . Its always in academic work so it shows you take your work seriously enough to clarify your perspective on it and making the interpretation of it easier to grasp ...!
Bro I love your videos so much, smoothly edited, informative, and unlike all the other documentary style videos you just seem like some dude I could hang out with and not a pretentious douche. Keep up the great work man 💪
Nick Drake changed my life, five leaves left is one of the greatest albums ever. I highly recommend it to everybody whenever you feel like shit, Nick's music gives the feeling that he understands you.
Hey matty ballz, I was wondering if u could make a video on a artist called capital steez, he was in pro era with Joey badass but has a tragic passing. He a great lyricist and really underrated, I think it would be a interesting topic to talk about since it’s a big What if.. in the hip hop community
Just an interesting detail if you didn't know, that is Gwen Stefani in the picture with Brad, on the left at 11:50. No Doubt was playing many of the same shows as Sublime in their early days, and even collaborated in couple of songs, No Doubt's "Total Hate 95" and Sublime's "Saw Red"
a lot of times, artists blow up because they die. It's hard to get noticed, even if you have the best music ever created, getting people to actually hear that music is a struggle. But dying is a sure fire way to get some attention, that's why a lot of people see more success after death.
If you make another video like this I think Shinji Sato of the Fishmans would fit well too, he died before they ever got big commercial success. They were a little popular but they only really took off after his passing
Nick Drake was a one in a million type of musician. Hazey Jane Part 1 is one of my favorites by him. The type of song that makes your entire life flash before you in 4 minutes
Pop would have been larger than life. It's a damn shame they dropped all his unreleased music in 2 years. They had plenty to keep in the vault the fact the deluxe versions of albums had like 20+ tracks was dumb af horrible marketing
Elliott Smith and Jeff Buckley are two artists who should be on your radar. Smith is most well known for songs included in iconic movies like "The Royal Tenenbaums", and "American Beauty". He "mysteriously" died after a fight with his gf when he supposedly stabbed himself twice in the chest. Jeff Buckley died from drowning in the Mississippi River after jumping in fully clothed...supposedly he was just drunk and being a daredevil but a lot of fans question that. Regardless of how they died, their music was incredible and wasn't really appreciated until after their death.
Perfect choices, I love Elliott Smith and Jeff Buckley so much, they both had some insane talent that was unfortunately cut so soon. Elliott Smith’s self-titled is one of my favourite albums and I remember checking it out after hearing “Christian brothers” covered by Queens Of The Stone Age which inspired me to check out Elliott Smith’s version and the OG by his band, Heatmiser.
I hope Jeff Buckley is on here. I see Nick Drake in the thumbnail. It’s hard to say Elliott Smith didn’t see his success, but his death was tragically early and he is easily one of the most talented artists of our generation.. Otis Redding and Jim Croce jump out to me thinking about it now as well.. Btw, “Things Behind the Sun” is my favorite Nick Drake song..
David Hackney from the proto-punk band Death (not to be confused with the metal band Death) had died in the year 2000, unfortunately the band was unable to publish any of their songs for several decades except for the song politicians in my eyes. Eventually his brother ended up releasing their music in 2009 and are now known for being ahead of their time and while they aren’t superstars or anything like that they are still known as punk legends and it is unfortunate that he will never get to see the fandom that the music him and his brothers made received
The song Life In A Northern Town by The Dream Academy was written about Nick Drake. If you don't know the song I'm talking about by name, it's the one that plays in the king of the hill episode where Buckley's Angel appears.
The Sublime self-titled album was legit a masterpiece and it is one of my favorite albums of all time. It just really sucks that Brad died before the album came out and turned them into superstars. Bro had such an amazing voice. RIP.
Should do a part 2.... Add in a rapper name Dolla... Made a hit and died shortly after... Also Bugz from D12... They mention him alot in their albums. He did made a album that was underground. But just imagine if he was alive
Interesting and sad content, but certainly well put together and thoughtful. An artist that comes to mind immediately is Andrew Wood. He was a Seattle area musician whose band Mother Love Bone was releasing their major label long play Apple and Andrew had a drug relapse and subsequent overdose a few months before it was released. The band dissolved of course, but morphed into Pearl Jam. And like the others you've mentioned Andrew and Apple have met with posthumous success. Wouldn't mind more content like this Thanks.
Also the person who bought his painting while he was alive was the sister of Vincent's friend and she kept it hung up until she died but an art dealer named Julien Tanguy commissioned Van Gogh to paint him so technically he sold more than 1 paintings in his lifetime
You could add Bon Scott from AC/DC in this list who died in 1980 from a suspected heroin overdose. I saw the band in the 70s when they were already popular in Australia. But the band became popular overseas in the early 80s after the lead singers death
I always heard that Bon - like John Bonham later that same year would do - had drank way too much (much more than usual for Bon) and had gone to sleep in the backseat of a car.
Ebony Regins is one of my favorites and I only found her while trying to find Avici on the deaths of 2018 Wikipedia. She was my age, great songs. Car accident. Super tragic and that stuck with me since
You should have added Jim Croce the dude lived a rough life and made a bunch of music and hit super famous at 30 years old and died in a plane crash like 10 months later
The Dream Academy song "Life In A Northern Town" is an elegy to Nick Drake according to the band. Also quite depressing when you feel glad that someone died a year before or after 27 so they don't get lumped into that "club"
Another couple of examples would be Andrew Wood of Mother Love Bone. He died tragically of an overdose before their debut album dropped. If you look into the Seattle Grunge scene you will see just how popular and influential he was and how his death lead to the formation of pother bands (Temple of the Dog and Pearl Jam) and the creation of some beautiful tribute songs (Say Hello To Heaven and Would for example).
you should include hillel slovak, former guitarst of the red hot chili peppers who died of an overdose in 1988. right before 2 very popular albums Mother's Milk & Blood Sugar S*x Magik
Avicii was the first musician that sprang to my mind when I saw this video. I remember hearing his songs in the early-mid 2010s and his passing triggered a temporal BSoD inside of me. RIP Tim “Avicii” Bergling 🕊 1989-2018
Yo matty you should listen to this upcoming/underground subgenre of rap which is similar to Trap or Lofi Rap and is called "Aesthetic Rap" and it would be really cool if you talked about it. (Artists examples: 1nonly, Lilbubblegum, Shady Moon, 22december, Axaero).

I have Sublime tattooed across my shoulders like Bradley did and my son’s name is Bradley.

The Sublime self-titled album was legit a masterpiece and it is one of my favorite albums of all time. It just really sucks that Brad died before the album came out and turned them into superstars. Bro had such an amazing voice. RIP.
Should do a part 2.... Add in a rapper name Dolla... Made a hit and died shortly after... Also Bugz from D12... They mention him alot in their albums. He did made a album that was underground. But just imagine if he was alive

Interesting and sad content, but certainly well put together and thoughtful. An artist that comes to mind immediately is Andrew Wood. He was a Seattle area musician whose band Mother Love Bone was releasing their major label long play Apple and Andrew had a drug relapse and subsequent overdose a few months before it was released. The band dissolved of course, but morphed into Pearl Jam. And like the others you've mentioned Andrew and Apple have met with posthumous success.
Wouldn't mind more content like this Thanks.
I don’t know if Selena counts! She was only 23 when she was murdered and her music still lives on
Hopefully I get to see the fruits of my labor before I pass on! Knock on wood 😂😅
Vincent Willem van Gogh sold one painting to his bother but did Barder his sketches for food and goods.
Also the person who bought his painting while he was alive was the sister of Vincent's friend and she kept it hung up until she died but an art dealer named Julien Tanguy commissioned Van Gogh to paint him so technically he sold more than 1 paintings in his lifetime
@@WarholMonet thanks for letting me know, had no clue.
This is saddening and upsetting.
RIP
i so glad you mentioned nick drake
The best example of this is Lil Peep who prior to his untimely passing didn't even have a song with over 10 million views on TH-cam
Make part 2❤
Love Eva!!
You could add Bon Scott from AC/DC in this list who died in 1980 from a suspected heroin overdose. I saw the band in the 70s when they were already popular in Australia. But the band became popular overseas in the early 80s after the lead singers death
I always heard that Bon - like John Bonham later that same year would do - had drank way too much (much more than usual for Bon) and had gone to sleep in the backseat of a car.
I love matty ballz
Legit been bumping santaria for a few weeks and had NO idea
Ebony Regins is one of my favorites and I only found her while trying to find Avici on the deaths of 2018 Wikipedia. She was my age, great songs. Car accident. Super tragic and that stuck with me since
unfortunate
You should have added Jim Croce the dude lived a rough life and made a bunch of music and hit super famous at 30 years old and died in a plane crash like 10 months later
The Dream Academy song "Life In A Northern Town" is an elegy to Nick Drake according to the band. Also quite depressing when you feel glad that someone died a year before or after 27 so they don't get lumped into that "club"
Another couple of examples would be Andrew Wood of Mother Love Bone. He died tragically of an overdose before their debut album dropped. If you look into the Seattle Grunge scene you will see just how popular and influential he was and how his death lead to the formation of pother bands (Temple of the Dog and Pearl Jam) and the creation of some beautiful tribute songs (Say Hello To Heaven and Would for example).
knew this would be a great video before clicking on it. was not disappointed. r.i.p. nick drake.
you should include hillel slovak, former guitarst of the red hot chili peppers who died of an overdose in 1988. right before 2 very popular albums Mother's Milk & Blood Sugar S*x Magik
I think if hillel hadn’t die, John frusciante wouldn’t have joined rhcp and they might not be as big as now
Avicii was the first musician that sprang to my mind when I saw this video. I remember hearing his songs in the early-mid 2010s and his passing triggered a temporal BSoD inside of me.
RIP Tim “Avicii” Bergling 🕊
1989-2018
Avicii was great but he was already hugely popular when he passed
He was already majorly popular before his death. He just became even more popular after death.
@@MunkeeFWRrng i know that
trust me bro hella of these artists would not have reached the heights they did if they never died
Yo matty you should listen to this upcoming/underground subgenre of rap which is similar to Trap or Lofi Rap and is called "Aesthetic Rap" and it would be really cool if you talked about it. (Artists examples: 1nonly, Lilbubblegum, Shady Moon, 22december, Axaero).
Pop Smoke makes me so sad. He would’ve changed rap, Drill was up next.
Eva Cassidy has the most beautiful voice
big nick drake glad you covered him!
Nick drake’s story is such a tragic one
I’m sure you meant 1996 and not 1966 when talking about Sublimes self titled album lol
If you do a part 2 Otis Redding would be great for it
I'm surprised that you didn't mention Ian Curtis.
I think nipsey hussle could also be included in this video, and maybe speakerz knockerz
Eva Cassidy was never signed to Blue Note. The label rejected her because she wouldn't narrow herself to one musical genre.
Bradley looks like the NELK dude in the thumbnail
Otis Redding was another artist that never lived to see his success :/
Damn that Nick Drake one made me sad. He deserved better treatment while he was alive
You gotta do a part 2 this was interesting to watch
