AboutAndy Expertise I am very familar with all sorts of questions pertaining sublime and the groups members.Whether it be about brad's songs,tattoos,guitars,amp,recordings,there isn't much i can't answer,and if i am not able i am willing to research until i can find one.
Experience Saw sublime play at the 1st warped tour on august 17th 1995 at the tweeter center(was the blockbuster pavillion then),saw Long Beach Dub Allstarts perform in 2002 at the electric factory in philly.I have been playing guitar for 8 years and have both published versions of sublime guitar tab,plus can play almost 90% of sublimes music to a tee.I also have connections in the tattooing industry,and knowlege about the bands tattoo's from various interviews,pics,live show tapes,and a segment from tattoo magazine featuring opie ortiz,who inked alot of the band.Have Also been following the LBC music scene since 1995

Question I am not familiar with the group at all. A friend of mine is a huge fan and I was trying to get her concert tickets, come to find out sublime broke apart a while ago. Now I did find that badfish- a tribute to sublime is performing in my area in March. Can you tell me who this badfish is and being a fan would this be something you would enjoy going to?
Thanks in advance!
Answer Sorry about the delay...rough work schdule as of late..
Go see badfish..they are good..in some aspects they recreate the sublime sound better than sublime itself.I say this only because they have 4-5 members as opposed to sublime's 3 members..back in the day sublime was limited to basic gear..since they were an underground punk/reggae band..so what you heard on the album wasn't what you got in concert.
Badfish is pretty good..thier lead singer/guitarist isn't brad vocal wise by any means..but he plays very good lead/rythem guitar which is great.The rest of the band is solid...i think your friend will have a really good time.Possibly better than seeing sublime...i say this cause brad's drug and drinking problems affected his singing and playing..there were shows were he killed and people were blown away...and there were shows were he would of be better off just baggin the show and coming back when he was sober.
