- In this episode of Tuna On Toast, Stryker catches up with 311 frontman Nick Hexum. Nick looks back at his band's early days, moving from Omaha to LA, why radio stations were initially hesitant to play 311, and how opening for Fugazi and Oingo Boingo impacted his career. Nick also recalls working with NBA superstar Shaquille O'Neal on the music video for "You Wouldn't Believe" -- and why Shaq threatened to sue the band! 311 has released 13 albums in their career spanning over 30 years, and Nick reveals that NEW MUSIC is on the way! He also details a scary RV fire in the band's early days that could have cost them their lives!

Looooooooooove this soooooo much. This is why 311 has been my favorite band since 95 I go for the Hive ❤️💛💚🤞🏽💪🏽🤙🏽✌🏽👽🔥💨🦒🙏🏽
Since 93 babyyyy
silly rabbit
How does everyone in this band besides Tim Mahoney just not age? Best band in all the land! I'm glad my favorite member isn't taking that hiatus and we're getting new music!
Hey- Tim’s doin just fine my man. Ask SA
@@robdubent I'm sure he is. Showing more signs of aging doesn't mean doing badly
They didn’t drink or harddrug themselves into oblivion
Tim's fine he's just perma high.
Seeing them live in the UK this summer.
They have saved me at least once, through very dark times.
I'm just grateful for them, now I know why fans cherish them.
311 is the greatest band of all time. Quite literally saved my life a time or two 😅 great interview!
I think we’ve all had a “beyond the gray sky” moment
@@tsomen55 my fav song 💚
Nah, that was just you. They were a distraction for the moment.
@@JesusIsRealJ1247 save some puss for the rest of us, hoss
@@JesusIsRealJ1247Shut up…
What a delight! 2 great people and a great chat!
Thank you so much!
What a great guy, I love the Soundsystem album still.
❤
Great interview! Thanks Nick and Stryker! 311 forever
Danny Elfman and 311 are my all time favorites so that show would have been mind-blowing. Too bad I was like 13 at the time and on the other side of the country. I've met Nick twice and both times my brain just froze and I couldn't think of what to say 🤦♂️. But i did get a pic with the band on the Mosaic tour 🤘.
Evolver is excellent and an underrated piece of their catalogue.
Don't Tread On Me is a close second.
Amazing interview! Youve made so many Excitables happy for doing this ❤
Best hexum interview I've seen
you're too nice, thank you!
Dud hasn't aged what the hell
311 muh’fuckin’ rulez!!!
Excellent interview Stryker!
311 still brings it harder than ever after all of these years! Have had so much fun at their shows/events, and spreading their music and positivity
cant wait to hear their new stuff!
311 3 311!! 🎉 ❤❤ I’m excited for this interview
311 has been around (the same five guys album after album and tour after tour) realistically my entire life. I was born in 86 so it’s pretty much been one of the constant parts of my life on this planet. And they’re still going! First band I ever learned to play on bass and guitar, first band I ever attached myself to and first band I ever resonated with musically
I love 311, representing Omaha. Chad Sexton is a great drummer, he was in the drumline for the Nighriders Drum and Bugle Corps back in the day.
Sky Ryders. 🙂
And now he's maga trash who ruined 311's legacy and turned them into a joke
Don how are you
@@jeffthehotelguy89I’m ok, how are you??…..
@@donnix1192 living in omaha
He looks pretty damn good for 53.
He's aging like fine wine.
Mosaic is definitely the best 311 release since Evolver. Those first 6 records speak for themselves.
Since Evolver...
Don't Tread on Me is a fantastic album full of love songs.
Uplifter is only redeemed from it's B-Sides (Sun Come Through and Get Down are top tier, imo). I seriously blame Bob Rock.
Universal Pulse has some quality jams on it.
Stereolithic is my personal favorite since Evolver.
Mosaic is quality 311.
Voyager is 50/50 for me. The whole Crossfire/Heist issue. I prefer the Ralston tracks.
👌🤘
@@bafmd Mosaic and Stereolithic definitely separate from the pack. DTOM demo leaks turned that album sideways (strong B-sides, tho) the Bob Rock experience sucked. He normalized them. Universal Pulse was better than Uplifter, but the album was too short to rank high. Uplifter had a few songs I still dig, but the bulk was way too cheesy lyrically for me (again, solid b-sides) Voyager had the copyright issues you mentioned and that turned me off
They shoulda redone universal pulse with a production that knows what they're doing. It often gets grouped in with uplifter due to both having bad production but universal pulse was the bands reinvigoration after dtom and uplifter. It sounds like Bob Rock didn't even mix or master it.
Thanks Nick and Stryker. I drummed for Mary's Danish in those days. Thanks for remembering us, and the fun days!
Ted Stryker once again an outstanding interview, at time inspirational, emotional,humourous and motivational! Love this
thank you so much for the nice words and taking the tine to watch!
If y'all ain't doing a tour this summer, y'all should release new music 311
Very nice gold nuggets of new stories, the bass player from the Cure is in the Love Song video, the Shaq helicopter messing up the acoustic set,lol. Dat interview is dope.🤘
I’m a big fan of 311 …but the time Nick took his time for us to take a picture with me and my cousin was awesome thanks nick! 311 3 3 11
Wonderful interview, cover to cover.
I love 311 !! Great guys !!
Just starting to watch and i just gotta say, i love Tucson. I’m from Montreal, Canada and i’ve been there twice for the gem & mineral shows and it’s mostly very nice. It’s sad that there is a lot of poverty there though.
Awesome checking it out now
Please play Seems Uncertain live again .. and My Stoney Baby is one the best tunes
Those two are great sleepers. I consider places that the mind goes the worst of all the feldy songs tho haha I wasn't expecting him to say that one. I just finished working on a guitar/bass cover for tune in and I think that should be a more well known sleeper. Pnuts parts in the bridge were actually kinda tough! I was hoping he'd bring transistor up in general.
Love this interview!!!!!!!!!
Stay positive and Love your Life!
I always wondered how they felt about the 2011 Japanese tsunami.
Epic interview!!
Thank you! This was awesome!!
That's what we need to hear 👍
Watching from Tempe, Arizona! God Bless! 🌵
We need another hour of this
Nick i never age hexum
RV fire is a funny story but it was really serious. I think Nick said he's still got some marks from it and barely got out w/out major burns
Great stuff! 👽
711 311 tee shirt… “And we BONDED… over that…” 😂😂😂❤
Scale of 1 to ten. Technically I can’t say it was a 10 because… let’s be honest there’s no such thing as a perfect score. It’s more like an idea or an asymptote. I’m comfortable giving it an 11 though.
Uh thank youuuuu.
Listen to their greatest hits daily
I'm 22
Unity album from 1991 is 🔥🔥!
Excellent interview.
Evolver was one of the most important albums to happen in my life. It came out the year I graduated from high school so I was cutting ties with a lot of people I'd never see again and becoming my true self. It also came out when a lot of important 9/11 truth stuff was happening and the lyrics just resonated with me. Had I not discovered the lies of 9/11 I probably would have gone along with the lies of covid and everything else they throw at us.
Would be sick to see 311 on rogan with doug
Hey Nick, I have an idea for the next album. You should hide one phrase from old albums in each of the new songs. What do you think?
I wonder what the deal is with P-Nut then? Last I heard he was quitting 311, now they are talking about recording and writing new music?
I read between the lines on this. Nick wants to make new music. The rest of the band might need more convincing. That's what I got.
I never heard "quit", but take a break.
Changed his mind
He was taking a break but now he isn't. Despite the talk of how it had to do with Chad, Chad walked back his regretful tweet a week later. I don't think it had anything to do with it. Out of all the speculations that were floating around out there, the most believable one to me was that he was not liking how much they had been going to outside writers lately. Who knows though. Just glad he's stickin around!
21:30
"My bro's and I were driving
The RV bleeding flames
Us leaping through fire surviving
Zoned with no home, there was fire all on it
Um let me have my life, I want it"
I think Nick is wrong as far as “All Mixed Up” being 1st single… I was a huge fan since early 94 and I remember 311 had a hotline and fan club that sent out newsletters (still have them) anyway, I remember calling the hotline in May-June of 95 and there was a short clip of “Don’t stay home” followed by something like “this will be our first single off the new album!!
I grew up in omaha
311 gots the Herb
Aries WHat UP
When are they coming to Sydney Australia
Hey dj Stryker would you want to review your game burnout takedown 3
I just want to know why 311 don't have world tour, they only play in the USA
Darn, I heard a member (most likely nick) mention why and I can’t remember. Could be a budget thing. I’m sure it’s in an interview from the last 10 years.
@@ronniecardenas817 there s a lot of festivals here in south america, all the bands come.
I think is more like they dont care. Wich is sad because i love them
@@caticosmoI'd think 311 believes they don't have enough worldwide fans to do a tour again outside states
Would love to click like, but its at 311
Nick is so damn high here.
He’s 6’3’’
and like Muhammad Ali, he floats like a butterfly but stings like poison ivy.
Some of the lyrics on that blue album lol I still love it tho
Get some indie garage rock musicians to interview please.
To remember that he was wearing a checkered shirt tells you that he's a bottom/catcher.
Speaking from personal experience are ya?
For a guy hosting a music podcast, you think hed know how to say fugazi 😂
You guys had me right up until the "NFT" thing. Sorry. Not falling for these right wing ponzi schemes.
"Right wing ponzi scheme" is a great way to describe the entire Trump presidency haha.
@@Rob_Cary Exactamundo!
@@Rob_Cary yeah because Joe is doing so well. He can’t go for a walk without shitting his pants.
