There are three incredibly stupid arguments to have about music:

1. What constitutes 'pop'

2. Whether a band is on hiatus or whether they split up and reformed

3. Whether it's right to carry on without original members

4. What constitues 'doing it for the money'

I've seen all of these on here in the last couple of days.

1) Well they were already playing Sublime songs before Sublime with Rome but what makes you think they weren't?

2) A band in their own right but are playing some else's music, yep no contradiction.

3) http://latimesblogs....e-reunion-.html

"We just don’t think it’s appropriate to call a group that doesn’t have Bradley and has a new lead singer Sublime. It’s consistent with Brad’s intentions that we seek to protect the name."

4) http://www.budztv.co...g&id=2&Itemid=2

"In hind sight I would not have used the name. I didn't want to in the first place, I was talked into it and I would like to apologize to certain people and the fans for trying to justify or talk them into it as well."

I wonder if there is any bands out there(not counting the likes of sugarbabes) who have no original members left in there group?

When you think the singer is usually the most important band member, why on earth would you go and see a band with a different singer? I can only really think of genesis that have replaced a singer and gine onto further success, or maybe sabbath.

1) Once again they were already playing Sublime songs so the motivation for them to use the Sublime name is for money.

2) You must not be that stupid to not realise for a band to exists in their own right they must do something on their own which isn't the case for Sublime with Rome as they use Sublime's music and name.

3) From earlier you were saying that as long as the members/family of the band agree then it's fine so unless you're saying Brad wasn't a member but you must admit that as both of them knew Brad's wishes and went againt it is in bad taste.

4) Misquoting is when you take thing out of context, you left out half of what he said. Have you now run out of places to go with it that you're left with "What of it"?

Are you really so stupid that you think Sublime with Rome isn't about money and built their "success" on Sublime's Brad's work? :sarcastic:

Ignoring the point...so we put aside the court's decision it was actually Brad's legacy do you or do you not agree it's in bad taste that both members went against the known wishes of Brad & his family and started this up?

So he finally realised it was stupid and wrong unlike some then...

    • I think it's a conscious decision this year not to publicize it beforehand. Not sure why. Maybe they have even removed the concept of a passport altogether and have something else... I like it because it helps me find parts of the program that don't function as slots in the timetable. 
    • Still see Beach House with a new Album    and Tame Impala and The Strokes. 
    • Yeah the rumour I heard is Glastonbury + Spurs stadium, the guy who posted it seems to be on the ball most of the time as well.   He's also now put one up for Sam fender summer shows
