Line 16:
The band eventually gained serious recognition on the original Warped Tour in 1995. They were kicked off the tour [[Irony|due to bad behavior]]. Bud Gaugh was arrested for drug possession twice on tour, all three were pretty much constantly drunk, the band once started a mud slinging fight with their audience, but the final straw was when Louie Dog bit two fans. They were invited back to finish the tour after missing several shows.
 
Sublime had only three full studio albums, ''40oz. to Freedom'', ''Robbin’ the Hood'', and ''[[Self -Titled Album|Sublime]]'', before Bradley Nowell’s overdose and death from heroin. The third, final, and most successful album was released less than two months after Bradley’s death. According to [[The Other Wiki]] The Self-Titled album eventually went 5x Platinum in the U.S., with over 5 million copies sold in the U.S. alone.
 
Following Nowell’s overdose, Bud Gaugh and Eric Wilson attempted to keep the sound alive, touring with various friends and musicians who worked with Sublime as the Long Beach Dub Allstars, and eventually Wilson alone with the Long Beach Short Bus, which only released one album.
Line 52:
* [[Sampling]]: Sublime LOVED sampling. Most songs feature at least a little something 'borrowed' from somebody else.
* [[Signature Song]]: "Date Rape" was the original, "What I Got" seems to be overtaking it as time goes on.
* [[Self -Titled Album]]: Their most famous, and the last complete album recorded before Bradley Nowell's death. It was actually supposed to be called ''Killin' It'', but the title was changed after Bradley died. All subsequent albums (barring the Greatest Hits obviously) had previously unfinished tracks, bootlegs, and/or remixes.
* [[Sex, Drugs and Rock And Roll]]: The band really lived it up in the 1990's. Stories include drummer Bud Gaugh missing shows due to being arrested ''on the way'' to the show, Bradley Nowell pawning the band's equipment right before shows for drugs, and getting kicked off the original Warped Tour [[Irony|''for bad behavior'']].
* [[Studio Chatter]]: Can be heard on many songs.
* [[Textless Album Cover]]: Played with on the self-titled album. It's a picture of Bradley Nowell's back, where he had had the word "Sublime" tattooed across his shoulders.
* [[What Did I Do Last Night?]]: The whole of "What Happened".
