Bruno Mars... its Brad Nowell reborn

[wirednuts]

anyone else hear it in his work? its his own style, but he not only has the same sounding voice he has the same innuendos, story and song writing, and emotion. i would LOVE to see him do a tribute show live, if you werent looking you would think bad is there.

unorthodox jukebox is like the self titled sublime album, its just amazing.

I always thought the guy from Pepper sounded EXACTLY the same as Noel (Nowell?). They are basically the same band, but do things more on a reggae/ska/island tip.

pepper was founded by nowell and sublime. they were friends, and pepper guy does sound similar but hes nowhere near the caliber

I guess they do have a similar timbre in their voices, but that's where the similarities end. Brad was a punk rocker, Bruno is a weak-ass top40s ballad singer.

wow, really? bruno mars is way more then that. come on man, it is pop music but its amazing stuff. he was a professional writer and producer in the past, so its no wonder he was able to make such good stuff on his first two albums.

they just have the same persona and presence. , even if the music is different. theres a reggae track on his 2nd album, and its the closest thing to brad i have ever heard. not just the way he sounds, but the way he writes and his devotion to every note.... if bruno joined the 2 founding members of sublime, you would be hard pressed to know its not brad.
