My best friend of over 16 years, had a heart attack and died on Sunday. His name was Brent and he was your biggest fan. He would always brag about how many of your shows he had been to. He worshiped you guys. The 311 symbol was his first tattoo. I feel all mixed up and I don’t know what to do. But thank you guys for making such great music that made my best friend so happy.
Sorry for your loss. What a cool thing to remind you of your friend. Like dude..... 311 is the COOLEST and if your friend loved them, he had to be a pretty cool guy :)
always been one of my favorites ... my first concert ever was in 1995 on his birthday of all days and he did a 3 minute solo which led to be playing bass for my whole life ..
I will always remember the first time I heard this band, on a Walkman cassette player during science class in the 5th grade, me and my friend Steven taking turns with his headphones and trying not to let the teacher see us. It was the Blue album. That year for Christmas, I got my first boom box with a cassette and CD player built in.. Shortly after, I asked my parents to take me to the local music and video store, where I went to the cd section and started looking for something to buy, and there it was... a used copy of the Blue album on CD in all it's glory. I took it home, popped it in the boom box, and listened to it on repeat for days, reading the cd booklet and learning lyrics. I could go on and on about 311 because they have been the number one band in my life since those younger days. Their albums have paralleled my life, and I can remember where I was in life when I listen to any of their songs. 311 isn't just a band, it's a part of who many of us are as people.
I don't know if you're my age (born in 86), but your story is spot on with mine. I remember asking for a CD player boombox for xmas - just so I could buyt the 311 blue album. I memorized every 311 song in the album, and played at least one 311 song for each high school talent show I was in. The only band I've paid to see live is 311. As a young man I was infatuated with their sound - but as an adult I finally understand the message. Unity.
The '90s were my generation's era (Generation X) when it came to awesome bands like 311! I'm so glad to still be around to enjoy their stuff as well as other awesome bands like Hole,Pearl Jam,and Nirvana.
They are timeless. 2024 or 2124 it doesnt matter. 311 is good music that will always be loved by those who know of them. I just hope we can get another good 25 yrs of music and performances from the guys. I hope they are like the rolling stones and just keep rocking until the wheels fall off.
Now this brings back memories. Used to sing this song all the time. ... also, some wise lyrics in the song: "you've got to trust your instinct and let go of regret"
The councilman in Bob's Burgers deciding over the "fun trash can resolution" sure thought it was wise. Get the 311 tattoo. Also, anyone have any cardboard moving boxes?
This song has straight up changed my life. I’ve been a 311 fan since I was a young teenager back in the 90s. There’s been times when life has been hard and I’ve literally heard “f&$@ the nay sayers because they don’t mean a thing” in my mind and it’s given me so much strength. You’ve got to bet on yourself man! You’ll be hard pressed to find truer words!
I was hearing this song on repeat in my dreams, woke up and came straight here to listen to it. Such a great song, and it was a blast to read fans here. Best wishes to all you out there!
Just watched the wive LIVE last night in Scranton Pennsylvania! I’m 45, my second 311 concert, took my son, his first 311 concert. He loved them! We were in the pit. AMAZING. IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THEM LIVE YOU MUST MAKE IT A BUCKET LIST!!
still sounds fresh even though it's almost 20 years old. that's what i love about 90s alternative music. was influenced from punk, so it remains ageless.
Woke up, and played this for no real reason at all before work today. It put me in the best mood for the rest of the day. This might become a small part of my wake up ritual.
This is a great idea! I make time for "music therapy" EVERY day. The music helps set the tone, and I'm pretty sure it also contributes to keeping my blood pressure levels steady. 😉
"You've got to trust your instinct and let go of regret. You've got to bet on yourself now, Star, because that's your best bet." I fucking *LOVE* this band.
@@therealmrduber @ :49 fuck has been edited out. (fuck the naysayers) It pisses me off a little, I doubt anyone who would watch this couldn't handle the word.
The 90s has the most eclectic genres of music of any decade. I too am glad I was a teenager during that time. It was amazing to see so many of those bands in concert
The 90s were the shit. I swear. This would be the only decade I would love to relive when that movie 'Kids' was basically self-explanatory on behalf of my (our) generation. Lol.
I was 22 when this album came out. What a great time the 90s were. The high-water mark for humanity in my opinion. I could go back and live in that decade forever. Maybe that’s what everyone says about their 20s when they hit middle age though?
It does seem to be a common theme. My parents say that about the 80s. My grandparents, the late 60s. However for me, even though my formative years were the noughties, and my very😮 young childhood was 90s...I absolutely wish I could live forever in the 90s. Even now that's the music I listen to the most. Before 9/11, before every movie had to have a really obvious message, people weren't as obsessed with their image, before ADD inducing social media. Gaming and SFX were still in their infancy. Ofc it wasnt perfect but it was a way more authentic period.
311 was a great band to listen to in the summer time in high school. My parents would go to work and I'd be blasting 311 at home eating elios pizza and playing black ops 2..... good days. I will never relive those days.
Man, I'm jealous of people that were my age back in the '90s (25yrs) You folks went to the best concerts, there weren't so many rules, more freedom, and still could have a smashing time in the early 2000s.

Hahah your exactly like me. I’m 27 and wishing it was like the mid late 90s now, them times way better for everything music , clothing everyone was real the internet wasn’t big no Instagram Facebook nothing just simpler times
@@bobbybosche4372 Mid 30s as well. The 90s was a great decade to grow up in. Though I wish I had been a bit older as I missed seeing these bands live in their heyday.
Happy 51st birthday Guitar player, Nicholas Lofton Hexum April 12, 1970. Madison, Wisconsin. Played in the Jazz band in a Nebraska high school. And made it big. Lesson learned. Big things come from small beginnings.
Just saw these guys in Chicago on the 12th and then and offspring and even gym class heroes did great!!!! Wish everyone else my age knew what reall music was......
pretty sure 311 was from nebraska which i always thought was so cool that a band from the center of the united states had such a ska/reggae/hip hop sound waaaay ahead of their time
I'm not gonna lie. For the longest time, I thought 311 were shouting out the poet E.E. Cummings. I finally looked up the lyrics and realized they were saying "You keep me coming." ;).
Honestly, hands down, great fucking song, rock and hip hop combined equals genius. This has a smooth, chill vibe, Surfer/Skateboarder song/punk/alternative, but still rocks hard, man I miss these days. True classic, perfect theme, and awesome music genre combos. I'm all mixed up as an adult now. My psychologist told me sometimes you just gotta flash back to your youth, to what was good, and what better way to do it than listening to this song. I'm getting myself on track though! Long live 90s!
I love the visual aesthetics of the 90's music videos. The color hue, saturation, the fisheye lens.
Jonathan Simões same!!!
Absolutely bloody bang on with that comment. It hits on an energy which just doesn't exist now.

Nostalgia overload
I was 16 just got my license and hooked to my cd player to my old radio 👍

Since 95
Man, there really is nothing like 311. Their uniqueness is one of a kind. Are they rock? Are they rap? Are they reggae? Y E S.
You will like Sublime
Don't forget hip hop, that drum beat is a straight up bangin boom bap groove.
You could add ska to the mix.
For years I thought they were Jamaican.
I got to see 311, greenday, Nirvana, blink 182, sum 41 and Metallica 😁. Good times.
Super underrated bassist.
always been one of my favorites ... my first concert ever was in 1995 on his birthday of all days and he did a 3 minute solo which led to be playing bass for my whole life ..

Peanut is the man!!! ❤❤❤❤❤ and so nice in person too !! Meet the whole band it was so amazing!!

Hi Brandon, born in '81 here. Just wanted to tell you I loved your story, reminded me of my younger years!
I'm an 83'er but yeh same story here. My thing was a disc man tho so my parents couldn't hear they woulda never let me have the blue album. 😂😂
Thank you for sharing that story...I love it! You trusted your instincts and let go of regret...xoxoxo
The '90s were my generation's era (Generation X) when it came to awesome bands like 311! I'm so glad to still be around to enjoy their stuff as well as other awesome bands like Hole,Pearl Jam,and Nirvana.
Erica Wynn all the fucking generations sucked
... Gen X's era was the 80s. This is 100% Gen Y's domain

This is what I get for looking up bands like Sublime
Man so glad to see so many young people commenting.. Happy 311 Day!!
this is one of my all time favorite songs. the 90’s had some of the best music of all time man
2024 and still Blasting 311, who's still with us 90s Kids!?? 💪💪👊🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Class of 05 down with _311_
They are timeless. 2024 or 2124 it doesnt matter. 311 is good music that will always be loved by those who know of them.

02 kid here this music makes me think of my dad so much he used to jam to this allllll the time so nostalgic
Were still here bridging the gap. Please Continue to send Love and joy. Were bringing it back to the future!!! ❤
Saw them tonight. It was awesome! Haven’t seen them since 2005.
Graduating high school in 1999, I swear 311 were EVERYWHERE. One of the greatest times of all!
For me, this song defined the 90s the best.
When I hear it, it's like I get sent back 20+ years.
i have smoked so much weed listening to this band!!! 90's was a great decade to be a teenager!!!
sure was
+Ernie Baylor LOLLL
You got that right...lol
yeah it was
Ernie Baylor Agreed! When I was a teenager in the 90s, I had wished I grew up in the 60s. Now that I'm 40 I'm thankful I was a 90s teenager :)
I miss the 90s :(
jason androy well get used to the 2000s
me too :( Just growing up in Los Angeles in the 90's and 311 was my fav(still are). Times were so much better!
Same
jason androy Dane I wish we can just go back and never come back to 2018
I'm an 80s guy but the 90s was the last era that music was generally great.

Same for me. Gets me going for the day
This happened to me today❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰
This is a great idea! I make time for "music therapy" EVERY day. The music helps set the tone, and I'm pretty sure it also contributes to keeping my blood pressure levels steady. 😉
Just did the same thing. Have ran it about 15 times in a row
This is their best song, or at least my favorite! I don't like all their stuff but i can't get enough of this song!
This was the first song I heard by 311, and I was hooked from the start. My favorite song, followed by Amber
That snare though!!!! It is cranked up to the max!!!
This is in my repertoire of karaoke songs. It’s challenging, but the crowd always loves if! Props to 311 for such catchy sh*t
"You've got to trust your instinct and let go of regret. You've got to bet on yourself now, Star, because that's your best bet."

Can’t get enough of Chad Sextons drums. I love the ringing pop off his snare :)
