AboutGMan 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.
Question Hey GMAN, My friend gave me a photograph that he had taken of the band in the early 90's. What I am trying to find out is the exact year and the location. It appears to have been taken in some basement which I believe could have been their crib and behind them on the wall is written in black marker "sublime" If I could, I would like to send you a copy and have you check it out. Honestly, I feel blessed to have received this picture which I believe is rare and priceless. Any information would be greatly appreciated. . I have lost contact with my friend who gave it to me and got no information on it at that time.
Answer Hey Danny,
Well, I can't really tell from your description because it could have been their practice space or it could have been a house, garage, etc. or even at a party. Go ahead and send me a copy & I'll let you know. If I haven't seen it before, I'll even post it on my website (If you'd like or don't mind.) with a shout-out going to you.
Go ahead & send to my email which is: george.harris2114@sbcglobal.net
