AboutMatt 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.
Expert: Matt Maguire Date: 8/19/2007 Subject: Brad's autograph
Question hey Matt,
I am wanting to finish my tribute tatt. but have been having a great deal of trouble locating any signatures of Mr.Nowell. If you could help me find a legit one or point me in the right direction it would be hugely appreciated. Thanks so much,
MyCal
Answer Brad rarely, if ever, auto-ed using his first and last name. From all the signatures I have seen, he only wrote Brad or Bradley. There are a few examples in the book Crazy Fool, but assuming you can't afford that outrageously expensive book, you can email me (mdmaguirespam at comcast dot net) and I'll send you a sample. GMan, a Sublime collector, has at least one auto for you to check out, but I can't be sure you can see the picture without being a MySpace friend. Hopefully you can.
