Hmm. With it featuring those two, that is interesting indeed...

Looks like a song titled "Lay Me Down" was released instead. Features Rome Ramirez from Sublime with Rome.

One listen and I don't see why in the f*** this song is flying up the Alternative chart.
That song with M. Shadows and Slash isn't even much better. Just being honest.

One listen and I don't see why in the f*** this song is flying up the Alternative chart. I have a theory to why. The featured singer on the song is Rome Ramirez, the singer for the failed Sublime reunion last year and whose now the singer for something called "Sublime With Rome" (aka The Same Dang Thing We Did Last Year Except Lawyer Friendly). Alternative stations love Sublime, and even this minor connection is causing this song - regardless of quality - to shoot up the chart. You're right though, this song is awful (as was Sublime, to be quite honest).

I also agree that this song is bad. However I think it's big bullet will be short-lived, it'll probably end up burning out at like #29 or something.

Robbin' the Hood didn't really feel like a true album, though. I also agree that this song is bad. However I think it's big bullet will be short-lived, it'll probably end up burning out at like #29 or something. I can only assume KROQ's leading the charge on this one. If that's the case, yeah, I can see it stalling maybe a little higher than Big B's "Sinner," since this is already off to such a big start.

I don't mind this song...I'm not sure what's so awful about it. In reality though it sounds like a song that would be playing while I was lounging on a beach in Jamaica. I like it better than Check The Level.
I'd also like to throw out that I think you guys are wrong and this may just rocket into the top 10. We'll see who wins this race.
Sublime was alright but i truly believe it's cult following grew its status much higher than its catalogue fully deserves. Some bands have that feeling. I always wonder with even a group like Nirvana, how history might have seen them had they been able to be around for 15-20 years. Would they have released some stuff that brought their legacy down. Same thing with The Doors, even though I'll never believe Jim would have recorded anything I didn't love.

Sublime was alright but i truly believe it's cult following grew its status much higher than its catalogue fully deserves. That's pretty much my problem with them. "Awful" was the wrong word for me to use. My main problem is that i've heard their songs non-stop on most alternative formatted stations since 1996. It's kind of like how I never want to hear "Beverly Hills" or "Love Shack" again, even though I don't hate either song. Sublime remains one of only a few core alternative radio bands which stations have no problem spinning their non-single album tracks. My point remains, though: The Sublime connection is the main reason this Dirty Heads song is flying up the charts.

But the singer is new, so there shouldn't be that much of a connection.

I didn't mind hearing this song for the first time last night either. It really reminds me a lot of the Sublime/island 311 sound that you don't hear much anymore these days.

Sublime was alright but i truly believe it's cult following grew its status much higher than its catalogue fully deserves. Oh, I fully agree with this. I guess I took their Bob Marley influence and cover of Grateful Dead's "Scarlet Begonias" for granted, but it sickened me to realize about a decade after Brad's death, that they had a significant audience of hippies now, who had no clue about them in the '90s, at least as far as I knew. Maybe I'm wrong, as I didn't go to school with any hippies. It just seemed like the people who liked them were into punk, ska, and maybe hip hop. They were a rock band that I noticed a lot of hip hop kids had actually become fond of. And rightfully so. But I get so sick of Alternative radio beating "What I Got," "Santeria," "Wrong Way," "Date Rape," and "Smoke Two Joints" into the ground. (I'm not sick of "Doin' Time," probably because it wasn't ubiquitous when it was a single. And for the record, my station also plays "April 26, 1992 (Miami)" and "Caress Me Down." Once in a blue moon they'll play "Scarlet Begonias.")

It's come to the point with not just Sublime, but with many bands that have been sending out hits from at least a decade ago that unless I'm really paying attention, almost every song of a band's isn't that recognizable anymore. For example, if "What I Got" came on, I'd just think "Sublime" and then if I heard "Wrong Way" the next day, I would probably think I heard "Wrong Way" the day prior.

I saw this rising up the Alternative chart and had to figure out what it was. It's not bad, but it's not something that should be doing this well right out of the gate, either.

Yeah, I can understand that prediction. Looks like it'll hit top spot for a couple of weeks sadly now though.

But I'm sure Between the Lines will keep this out of the top.

It will be interesting to see if this first STP single gets the quick burn out or not. I really like the song but Lay Me Down is really picking up steam for whatever reason. It wouldn't surprise me to see BTL do the "Know Your Enemy" fast rise and quick fall. I'm not willing to put bets on it though, STP could see a 6-8 week run. I'll be watching this with an actual interest, which I haven't done much of in the last few months.

Why do so many hate this song? I really like it! I'm not the least bit surprised it's doing well. It's very catchy.

I mean it's nothing amazing like I've never heard before, but it sounds a lot like Sublime & Pepper with that islandish reggae sound, which I'm a big fan of. I do wish my station would lessen up how much it's been playing it per week though.

There haven been too many bad alternative top 10 songs of late. This has got to be the first time ever that I can really say that there are 3 current top 10 songs that I flat out do not like at all (Mountain Man, Resistance, Lay Me Down).
