About GMan
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 - "we're not selling out" flyer / letter

Expert: GMan - 10/29/2009

Question
hey gman, so i picked up 'stand by your van' today, the ONLY sublime album i didn't previously have (except extremely rare shit like bums lie, pure anus, etc.). anyway, in the cover pamphlet, i noticed what looked like a letter by brad metnioning how they're not selling out. unfortunately, though, most of the letter is cut off in the pamphlet and i couldn't find the thing when i googled it, so i was hoping you may have a link to the whole letter and could maybe explain a bit about it. i really hope you can answer this one, and as always, thanks a bunch.

Answer
Hey Dan,

That was/were just a joke. Sublime; especially Bradley had a wicked sense of humor. He was always making fliers like that for their shows with tongue and cheek comments on them. It was kind of a "fad" out here in So Cal in the late 80's and early 90's. To fuck around or to fuck with people. You know.

Just playing around Bro... That was sublime. And, as you know,... they never "sold out"! ;-)

Just sublime being "sublime".

I hope this helps.

"All Sublime All The Time"

Peace,
GMan
