About Matt Maguire
Expertise
I am new to allexperts, but have plenty of knowledge and experience in the realm of Sublime. Guarantee: you will receive an answer within 2 days of posting the question -- I have no feedback so far and would like to build some.
I can answer most questions about the band, the significance of the lyrics, the show dates,
the unreleased albums and tracks, misinformation, and, above all, I am an expert on their
influences and related music.
Experience
I have been a huge fan for 14 years, I ran a server which distributed Sublime's live and unreleased music 24/7 for 4 years, I have answered questions about the band daily for years on their old website, and I know some of the largest collectors in the world. I created the 5 CD bootleg "Rewind Selector" which documents the influences of Sublime and was the topic of a Spin Magazine interview.
Education/Credentials
I did not study music in college, but I majored in English, so I can write a clear response. I worked as a research assistant in the past, so I have skills in research if I need to figure out an answer.
Past/Present Clients
Sublime fans aren't my clients, but I have distributed swag and rare tracks to all those who want them for years at no cost.

Subject: setlist
Question
Hey man i was just wondering if sublime ever used a setlist? From bootlegs ive watched it seems as though they just play whatever comes to mind. just a thought, thanks!
Answer
Frank,
Yes, Sublime did use setlists on occasion -- I know this because I have seen setlists in the collecting community. That said, you certainly are right: in the live shows we have, Brad might ask "House?" to see if they should play House of Suffering and would often freestyle into some old reggae tune. If a base string broke, Brad and Bud would entertain the crowd with Waiting for my Ruca -- Sublime certainly wasn't the type to hold to a strict schedule or play from a list of "safe" songs. Of course, they had a few go-to tracks, including the "triple threat" of Garden Grove into Right Back into New Thrash which you can hear in most shows. They also included Date Rape every time to appease the crowd, even though Brad and the crew hated playing it because they'd grown tired of it.
Hope this helps,
Matt
