Expertise
I can answer any/all questions in regard to "sublime". I was down with the band and Skunk Records since 1991; the year they released their second cassette, "Jah Won't Pay the Bills" until the end in 1996. I have answers to all of your questions about their music, their releases, their unreleased music, their promos, merchandise, and the like. You ask it, I'll answer it.

Experience
I have extensive knowledge of "sublime" from their origin(s)through the end of their career. I have been involved with "sublime" from the early years when Kelly Vargas was on Drums, I know everything that there is to know about their early career, their rise to fame in the early 90's, & on through until May 96' when Brad passed away. I specialize in the band's merchandise. I have been collecting everything that is "sublime" since the beginning and have extensive knowledge on the subject. They released an unparalleled amount of DYI promotional merchandise before being signed to MCA & I would be glad to help you find out what piece of their BIG puzzle you are holding on to and/or what you'd like to get your hand on!

Publications
I am a regular on all of the sublime chat boards and was a constant on the now defunct sublime board, "The Curb" where many people considered me the "go to guy" for information on "sublime" and the rarities that they left behind for us all.

Sublime - Question about Get Ready & Crazy/Foolish Fool

Expert: GMan - 10/27/2009

Question
Hey G-man just wanted your expert opinion. I had somebody tell me that the song Get Ready was originally Foolish Fool & he also said that brad changed Foolish Fool Lyrics Because they were weak and that Foolish Fool then became Get Ready. To your knowledge Is there any truth to this statement because i think they are 2 totally different songs & I thought that foolish fool was originally called crazy fool then they changed name on box set. Thanks! Hit me back!

Answer
Hey Guys,

You're right. "Get Ready" & "Foolish Fool" ("Crazy Fool") were never the same song... they are two totally different songs.

"Crazy Fool" was done way back in like 1994-95 & was a "cover" song. It was actually released on "Pure Anus" but it was just a studio jam from a practice session. Believe it or not, it was based on the Dee Dee Warwick song called "Foolish Fool" & that's why when it was remastered & released for the Box Set, the title was changed from "Crazy Fool" to "Foolish Fool".

The Original can be found here:

And, for "Get Ready", Bradley just made that song up on the fly while they were in Texas doing the "S/T" album. The band (well, Bradley) only had 4 songs done for the album when they left California & they went into the studio in Texas, so a lot of it was done on the fly and/or improvised while the tape was rolling. "Get Ready" was one of the songs that went from "Jam" to "Song" on the spot out at Willies Place.

The line: "These Crazy Fools....." was just thrown in there (or an "ad-lib") because it went with the flow & the vibe of the song.

The two songs have nothing to do with each other,.... other than the fact that they are both by sublime... lol ... and both are bad ass.

I hope this helps.

Peace,
GMan
