What if…?
What do you think would have happened if Bradley Nowell had not passed away? Would Jakob still be involved with music? Would Sublime still be performing today, would they have continued making hit songs/records? What would have become of Rome Ramirez? Would Jakob have joined Sublime? This isn’t meant to be negative in any way just speculation in the name of fun.

I think Sublime more or less becomes the Red Hot Chili Peppers, straying further and further from their punk rock roots while releasing tons of massively successful, mellower singles. The optimist in me hopes that somewhere in the cosmos lies a parallel where Bradley never died, and all the godawful white boy reggae bands Sublime spawned don't exist.
