Anyone else think I should do a full history dive on them? Also, if you guys like 311, I've done a few stories on them before Their Fight with Scott Stop of Creed Fame https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fbS3um-bdU&t=257s&pp=ygUJMzExIGNyZWVk Their collaboration with NBA player Shaq https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uur2JlOjOaA&pp=ygUIMzExIHNoYXE%3D

I feel like there should be a part 2 to this video.

These guys HAVE to be given a lifetime survival award.

I met Nick in '98, as a passenger in my taxi! We hit it off and he started calling for me personally. He lived up in Laurel Canyon next to Sherman Hensley and had some great tea about that dude! 😊 Nick is a very lovely guy, so sweet and always tipped well! Time has been good to them, 311 look fantastic over 20 years later.

311 is one of those bands that is totally unique. They don't sound like anyone else, and don't fit into any category. That's what makes them good. I spent many substance fueled evenings listening to 311 back in the day, lol.
-
Started listening to 311 when I was 12 or 13 years old... I'll be 40 next month. Good times man. ✌😎
-
Soundsystem is a near perfect album. Fuckin love 311, after high school I almost started a 311 cover band called Re-Eleven lmao
-
It's finally time to investigate 311
-
So happy to see a 311 video
-
I saw 311 back in '91 opening up for the Smashing Pumpkins! RIP Ranch Bowl.
-
311 was my first concert. Incubus was the opening act. A couple years later I saw the two of them again but this time 311 was the opening act.
-
311 is my all time favorite band. I’ll be seeing them for the 15th time this Saturday in Cincinnati
-

-

First saw 311 live in Tucson az at a small club cald the rock . After the show me and a couple friends were talking to s.a . Told him we had some great smoke. He invited us on the tour bus that was parked out front of the club . We git skoked out talked , laughed had a great time . The band and the crew were all really nice . One of the best times of my life.

I was literally listening to 311 when I ran into this video! ‘Transistor’ is a masterpiece of an album. Love that they’re still out there killing it
-
A criminally underrated all-time great band, misunderstood by the masses, but loved by the grassroot Excitables. Great live performers and unexpectedly one of the heaviest bands I've ever seen live. Their new song "You're Gonna Get It" rocks.
-
Chad Sexton was the 1st drummer I can remember using marching heads on his snare and I think its one of the defining elements to their “sound” 🔥
-
This needs part 2 and 3
-
my favorite band!! they do not get the credit they deserve tbh
