[bluefukingreene]

my point is, if you had to compile an ultimate album track vs track brackets in order 1 thru whatever add b sides to compete against the extensive transitor set and duke it out for ultimate 311 vs 311 supremacy.ill tell ya you might not like it but daisy cutter,waiting,crack the code,amber,mix it up,india ink,how long has it been,long for the flowers,gettin thru to her,my heart sings,what do you do,sunset in july,trouble,weightless,same mistake twice,too much too soon arent gonna make it.sorry.

[BOOGIESTARSEVEN]

I just listened to this song for the first time. I have all their albums but I must say......How the hell did they leave this track out. This is more than B-side worthy. Maybe they smoked too much ganj and forgot to add it. I somehow blame Tim

[JuanOfaKind88]

:) 311

[ACE311REBEL]

uploaded in summer 09!!! My favorite summer

[mashakos]

goddddd sometimes i really hate the other guys' voice.

[thirdeye88]

how do i not remember hearing this on Uplifter? Was i that fucked up when this album came out? Amazing song

[Timebomb311]

@thirdeye88 It was an iTunes exclusive track just like Sun Come Through was and Amazon exclusive. Oh and yeah this is a beast song, should have been on Uplifter.

[earthyD]

@soundsystm311: the song Down on the blue album says it best "we changed a lot and then some some..." they aren't 25 any more and neither are you. Let their music evolve and enjoy the ride!

[hstemen311]

i love this band, that is all. this song along with "sun come through" should have been on uplifter to make it 16 songs... this band has changed my life. i have "stay positive and love your life" tattooed on my right wrist. this year in VA will be my 40th show. i absoultely love them with all my heart.

[bassgod533]

soundsystm311 get your negative ass out of here..

[megadeth2thenwo]

oh my god.. this goes well with indica

[Newyorkallstar96]

I'm recalling some summer of love roots here.....Very underrated song

[soundsystm311]

This garbage never would have been on the Blue Album.

[Robiskool1234]

@soundsystm311 you're right, but it's on uplifter, a great fuckin album. Their new one will be even better. "Wild Nights" and "Timebomb" are proof.

[soundsystm311]

@Robiskool1234 Dude those songs also suck

[soundsystm311]

@Robiskool1234 Dude those songs also suck, they sound just like this track

[fagag220]

my favorite album to date...not just by this band, but by all the bands

[MrMrrRNELLi]

i was disappointed with this album my freshman year in highschool... now as a junior i realize how amazing this entire album is.

[megadeth2thenwo]

@MrMrrRNELLi I was jammin transistor in high school, immagine that shit lol.

[MrMrrRNELLi]

@megadeth2thenwo damn that'd be the shit.... beast music

[missykim9]

everyone should hush about which uplifter songs should have been cut. anything from 311 is worth listening to

[ny254]

0:41 - 0:47 send chills down my spine

[jkoons07]

this song is absolutely amazing

[Ouknot]

good song ..

311 FOREVER "

[chadb311]

could listen to 311 everyday the rest of my life and be totally cool with it...unity to uplifter, im down with it all...cant nobody do it like 311, most original and creative tip out right now

[pudge3398]

I love the Uplifter B-sides!  which begs the question why are they B-sides?

[christastirling86]

no matter what happens 311 reminds me to always stay positive! fuck the naysayers 'cause they dont mean a thing......311 kids always stick together...no matter where you're from

[lexilepley]

Fuck the naysayers. These b-sides are for the excitable ones! can't nobody do it like 311!

[doitlikethis311]

@lexilepley - word

[reallygayname03]

I feel like alot of these B-Side tracks from Uplifter are better than some of the songs on the record. The drums are alot more unique like their old stuff on the B-Side unlike the record.

[ima311boy]

311 for life! WOO! they are the best band of all time hands down! They are so chill and just love life and appreciate it for what it is and they know how to have fun with their music! FUCK THE NEY SAYERS!

[HohMahGawd]

311 IS MY WAY OF LIFE

[goon5544]

I get mad at the world and myself; then 311 reminds me of the good aspects of life and my life

[816aj]

i wish 311 would do a b side tour that would be fucking awesome

[31funk]

i think too many people compare new 311 to old 311 and yes it's different but why does ALL 311 just sound so good? if people didnt compare them to themselves and just listen to the music then they would get soo much more out of it...good music is timeless! this song makes me feel soo good and it wipes any negativity that i have away...it should have been included on uplifter

[misssiera311]

this is a pretty azz song <3

[JRAD311]

311 is The BEST BAND OF ALL TIME!! no one can say different. livin' n rockin'.

[eriklev218]

Why wasn't this on the album OR the bonus disc???? Great sound!

[kind2311]

this is one of the best songs on the album, and the only one to contain a reggae rhythm. the lyrics make soooo much sense to me too!

grn2007 . . . . .take another listen . . . maybe smoke a bowl first.

[grn2007]

weakest sound on the cd but still a good song

[balion311]

cant wait to see them on 311 day! i hope they play this one

[kind2311]

they had better!

see u there : P

[meade311]

Its our journey if ur that 311 fan that notices theres not one day where 311 hasn't existed in that 24 hr span!.....we need to burn every B-side, cover, outtake whateva burn it n play it for everyone all the time cuz the DO APPRECIATE them in the overall aspect of the most "creative fun talented BAND" Amen

[FramedThief]

Amen, Bro.

[akatch311]

@meade311 hell yeah dude

[akatch311]

@meade311 you said it dude!

[hlake4311]

@meade311 Could not have said it better myself man...Nicely put

[lux5star]

@meade311 i know what yo mean man.. i met a dude the other day that had been playin guitar for over 30 years and i asked him if hed ever heard of them and he said no.. im thinkin " this dudes got degrees in music, but has never heard of 311?" WTF MAN? i showed him the song use of time and got a 53 year old man into 311 dude.. made my day hah

[TheHutch42]

there needs to be a 311 b-side record....these songs are fantastic!

[benderibsk1]

great song

love it

:)

[FireMarshal]

unbelievable how many people are saying that 311 sold out, reading comments on various videos. Compare their newest album to their older stuff, it is amazing how many similarities you will find.

[FramedThief]

So very true, man. Fuck the money, it's about the unity.

[sonicspeedctr]

although... the money is a nice plus. :)

[Angelatopia]

@FramedThief I must agree, people need to understand that people change. They haven't sold out, they evolved the way all people do. Take the hate somewhere else<3

[benderibsk1]

@FireMarshal yhea dude

they cant understand that this album its different than others but it not loses 311 own style

every album is different and badass

its a shame that people complains about such a wonderful band 311

[akatch311]

@FireMarshal ppl just dont understand that no matter what, 311 always puts out great music!

[InfiniteAbstractions]

@FireMarshal Never did they sell out, they merely chose a career path that was also expressive and soulful. They went through emotional turmoils as they grew up, both in their personal lives and in the context of the music industry, struggling to balance their careers with their sense of melody and soul, passion and poise, and anything else expressive. They are one of the most dynamic and free-spirited bands I've ever listened to, and they'll always have a special place in my psyche! 311 Unity!!

[lhs04]

they didnt sell out they started producing their own stuff! how is that selling out?? cause they did some cover songs? theyve been doing that since the 90s. people just dont know...however, compared to their older stuff you can tell the creativity is starting to fade. but hey, theyre just gettin older, you cant do that lifestyle forever (nick says so himself: "in 1989 i was cocaine and jim bean now it's 95 and im ginseng") and every once in a while a gem will come through on the later albums

[bluefukingreene]

@FireMarshal are your ears clogged with shit..only kidding but 311 wasnt pulling rookie manuevers on nothin for a long time.they have sold out,every venue in every town,but it comes with a price.i know ill take heat for this but.if you had to pick your favorite first track what record and what song and do that 1 thru 22 cuz trans had more tunes add b sides and shit.my example best opener is down best 2nd tune from all albums freak out best third nutsymtom 4th beautiful d.wheres the newer stuff?

[Bryanpen311]

What is this from?

[Ianplaysdrums]

iTunes exclusive. when you buy Uplifter on iTunes, this song comes with it.

[JorgeBr53]

I like this one!!! ... :)

[tooliscool23]

dang, 311 sold me out,

[816aj]

that's precious maybe you should get a cute layout too

[RickyTaima]

i want this for my myspace but cant find it =(

[skychester]

This song is pure genius!

[Class6tv]

does anyone else agree that this or Sun Come Through should have replaced Mix It Up?

[skychester]

Na they are both really goos songs but mix it up deserves its spot on uplifter

[spadesb]

Daisy Cutter first. Jesus, that song is a little Green Day mixed with Nickelback.

[drewk339]

Haha forreal. That is the only song on there that I legitimately can not listen to.

I Like The Way and this both could've replaced a couple songs on Uplifter for sure..

[DeadOmega]

Diasy Cutter has a good old school 311 hop to it, oh, but no.. it's just Green Day mixed with Nickelback...right. Some people seriously need to get their ears checked.

[akatch311]

dude.... you really have no idea what your talkin about haha

[skande2ilstu]

Two Drops is probably one of my favorite songs on the album. Should not be dropped

[MetalHeadStoner420]

the intro drums remind me of "first straw"

[ZzTheTruthzZ]

guitar reminds me of my patutti

[KAC14515]

I don't understand why this didn't make the album, This song is better than Too Much Too Fast and My heart sings

[tweedspliff]

all of the outtakes are better then alot of the songs on the album

[skychester]

I think every song should be on because every 311 song ever thought of is perfect

[Ajna76]

I love the whole Uplifter album! Too much Too Fast SA and Nick do a bad ass job with vocals really touches the heart! This song is bad ass too! I need to get it!

[Jeem77]

Take out My Heart Sings, and just add these two songs

[skychester]

Take out nothing, add everything!

[royalrocker311]

I love Get Down and Sun Come Through, but this song doesn't appeal to me all too much.

If Uplifter was up to me, I would take out Mix It Up and Two Drops In The Ocean and put in Get Down and Sun Come Through. But that's just me. :P Uplifter's good anyways.

[TheDurtyD]

Two drops is a great chill song!

[reggaecracker]

great song

[pettibone311]

badass guitar

[Oubound898]

this is better than get down.

[kreugfire926]

I love the guitar Harmony.

[akatch311]

ur all idiots cuz the entire album and b-sides are amazing!! each song is unique in its own individual way, thats what makes 311, 311!!!

[FrixHex311]

great song, great album, great band.

[Demuredin]

not feelin this one at all lol glad it didnt make the album.

[TheDurtyD]

How did any of these B-sides not make it on the album over Too Much Too Fast. Its the only song I don't really listen to on that album.

[moonlightof1982]

I totally agree with you. I love this track. Too Much Too Fast is horrible.

[slappntickle]

Nice this whole album's great.

[collideherscope]

Im hearing the b-sides and im liking them more then the album songs.

So Always take positives from 311's music, because thats what they make it for. to uplift people. The positive message i get from this new album is, when writing my own music, "dont write lame lyrics !"

[Thedude112123]

This was the last time I was ever going to call you, but I seem to be very uplifed at the moment.. So I trust your star to guide me to places I've never seen... You are my dark horse

[cl7323]

MIX IT UP is TERRIBLE.

[georgeisking]

This song isn't awesome but I don't understand how this song got cut instead of Daisy Cutter

[mattybakes27]

the guitar is really cool but its just another typical 311 reggae funk song that has many sweet parts

[jimmyskrunkvodka]

I think this song is better than "mix it up"

[jklinecarguy]

Think they gave itunes the worst song.

[hermano666]

I found out my friend killed herself today, and once I heard this song, it made me cry my eyes out.

[samartinez311]

@hermano666 sorry to hear that. not to be a downer, but you should listen to "beyond the gray sky". that's one for the ages. and it too talks about a friend committing suicide. very powerful stuff.

[hermano666]

@samartinez311 way ahead of you. I've been listening to 311 since 1994.

[samartinez311]

@hermano666 sweet. long time 311 fan! then you know how good there musick is. sorry to hear bout your friend though. "stay positive; love your life"

[TrueOne421]

@hermano666 sorry for your loss

[themrhellbydog]

@hermano666 sorry for your loss

[eclecticderby]

Sa voice is just plain awful on this one. i wish sa would sing less n get more of his old skool rap parts.

[captainchoder]

amazing

[jimmyskrunkvodka]

Guitar is sick..

[jimmyskrunkvodka]

not the best, but not bad

[Hops311]

That opening guitar riff reminds me of the Megaman video games.

[pettibone311]

haha yes
