Just saw them at Mohegan Sun in CT this past Saturday, they played Down as the second song and they played this and it sounded so damn good. No matter what the fairweather 311 fans say, I like the new songs and they blend in well with the older songs
@reggaecracker Huge set is an understatement, while I really wanted to hear Omaha Stylee I was pleasantly surprised with Starshines,Mindspin,Prisoner and the show opener Large In The Margin. And the played Down as the second song not the closer. But they coulda forgone Jackpot for FTBS though. Otherwise it was an awesome gig.
You know, it's not a terrible song, but I'm in the "their old stuff was better" camp. And it's not because I'm a "fairweather fan" or anything like that. The new songs simply lack the lyrical integrity of the old songs. They sound lazy and uninspired, filled with cliches. 311 has had a profound effect on my life, but I can also recognize that now they're on autopilot instead of cranking out well-rounded songs. After 20+ years I can't really blame them, but I miss the old days.
I just cant get enough of this song i dont usually change my call phone's ringtone from the regular phone tone but i actually changed it this time lol
311 is kickass but the problem is that people hate on them because they don't have the same sound. this is a funny problem if you look at it. bands get criticized for sounding the same but when they dont sound the same on every song people complain about that. sounds like a personal problem if you ask me lol
id rather have 8 well formed songs then 18 songs just thrown together in a rush...if they didnt have any other material they could come up with at the time, then leave it at 8 dont just throw in more fillers
@chubbz502 to me it had multiple meaning. one im having girl problems so i see it as a way to let her no im waiting. and two i got caught smokin in my dorm and im just lettin everyone im still down to blaze up because its what i truely believe in and it should be legal in the state of pennslyvaina
This is their 2nd single off Universal Pulse. They announced it 2 nights ago on loveline. I think they finally picked the right single! This song and Wild Night give me chills!
this is definitely the best song on the new album. This one and "a ways to go" are my favorites. I grew up listening to 311, from album numero uno all the way to universal pulse. I have to say that I like their older stuff better. I was disappointed that their new album is only 8 songs. I preordered the album on vinyl and cd and when I realized I spent 50 bucks on an 8-song LP. I was almost kicking myself, but I didn't see it as a total loss. I was really hoping to win the autographed PRS guitar
I got into 311 starting with uplifter actually, and I like it a lot. Then i listened to all the other ones. Sure, their "old stuff" isn't what you hear here. But, they still have their signature 311 sound..there's something about every song, no matter if it's new or old. All of their music is great and feels right. Am I right, Excitable Ones? :D
@missykim9 You are so right ... it's still 100% 311 and it's fantastic. Fair weather fans stuck in another year...they may never progress...and learn to live.
I am not trying to change ANYONES mind. Not a bit. I'm merely stating that just because something changes, doesn't mean it's better. I don't expect Grassroots 10 times in a row, but they have evolved and "grown" the wrong direction. Just sayin' And just because a lot of people don't like it, doesn't mean shit. A lot of people in Germany about 70-75 years ago didn't like Jews and look where that got us.
Yeah, I know this will be deleted because you wont put up ALL comments. You should have just disabled comments when you uploaded the video if you only wanted to have a circle jerk with other fans. I used to love this band. This music they're putting out now is crap. Whether you're 40+ or 20 something. It sucks no matter what. They had their time. Now, it's time to just retire, write a book, and vacation on that fat stack of cash.
@VagabondKing13 funny that you say that bands change dude if u want the same sound over and over and over go buy a ac/dc album its called growing as musicians there not gonna put out the same sound everytime they drop an album which shows that they are great musicians cause i dont know if you read most of these other comments but ppl love this album bitch all you want but its not gonna change anyones mind
people, it's 2011. not the 90's anymore. bands evolve just like people. appreciate the music. they're not in their late teens, early 20's anymore. they're fuckin 40+ and still rockin!
how awesome are these guys??...man still killing it ...remembering shows from back in 1995, cant wait to see this tour....tonight!!!! irie..much bless to the 311 crew and all fans!!! irie ....
311 is still a good band, but their glory days of the 1990's and erly 2000's are over. That was when they were a great band. I seen them in cincert right before 'Evolver' was released and it was amazing. Of the 8 songs on 'Universal Pulse' only two of them stand out as catchy tunes. 'Sunset in July' and Count me in are great, but the rest is definetely not therir best.
@duckfan86able well, i know what your saying about early 90's but this band evolved so well.....seems you only like radio hits ! too bad for you... open up your mind....in fact these riffs seem very reminiscent of early 90's rock band era, and also some hints of omaha sessions can be found in some of the new tracks....feel sorry for ya! you cant recognize!! oh well.... 311!!, much bless...
Just picked up the album today! GREAT album and this is my 2nd favorite song on it (after time bomb). 311 continues to pump out the positivity. They have always been my fav. band, seen em' 7 times live and they will continue to make the best music with a positive message! Can't wait to see em rock Philly again in a few days!
kinda cheese and light in the wrist.i love these guys for 16 years,this is really bad.dont diss me or throw anger my way...thats not the 311 way.311 would want me to be honest.
are you still going around from 311 song to song writing that you think that the songs suck? no one gives a shit that you don't like it, we get it, you dont like the songs on Universal Pulse, now shut the fuck up already
@jhazlem been blowing down trees for eons lil trooper.doesnt make this one any better.catchy yes,limp wristed very much so.ill take running or innerlight or paradise, this is watered down chit.
hey bluefukingreene your snatch is bleeding, go take your midol. also i could roll you a blunt, that might make you forget about your bleeding vagina for a little while
best of 6 Universal Pulse tracks i've heard so far and i've loved all of them. Count Me In is fucking PERFECT! like just the vibe and all the crazy effects and guitar work in the verses is just mesmorizing. the beat in every part of the song just makes me wanna get up and DANCE (and i do it!)! may go up as one of my all time favorite 311 songs
311 on their own label have free license to produce this fucking beautiful song.....holy shit never stop loving life, this has put a shit eating grin on my face that will not go away
This song is the motherfucking shit. This song is a big fat fucking steak covered with soy sauce and red pepper grilled to perfection by the Macho Man Randy Savage in heaven.
