i wanted to find a crew and run down the same street like they did 311 and the toadies should have played on the same roster as for the 311 myth that it stands for kkk its really a police code for lewd acts or something like that peace.
You're kidding, right? This album was released in 1995, and it was their breakthrough. Trust me, they were crazy popular back then, when Blake Lewis was still in high school. Besides, they have plenty of other hits, you should check them out...
Pirate stop trying to force your uninformed and regurgitated candy story conspiracy on people. You're obviously not a credible occult researcher. If you were, you'd be discussing the Solomon Seal stars in the background, not the number juggling of the title. You're the reason people don't take alternative history seriously. To the rest of you... go 311
its police code for indecent exposure..Jim Watson was skinny dipping and got a ticket for indecent exposure(311) thats where he got the band name from...god ur fucken idiot... know ur music and quite hatting ... HATERS!!!
i could listen to this song like 800 times in a row. It blows i live in maine and these guys are in Boston i got the money for the ticket just no ride ='[
i was listening to some marley and the opening song before natural mysic sounds exactly like.. you guessed it.... just ype in natural mystic and it should be the one where the "all mixed up" sounding song startes playing....
311 and sublime hit the national scene in a big way about the same time. . . both of them had underground success before that but I don't think they were ripping each other off. . . but bradley nowell died before sublime could start to suck like 311 has.
Sublime and 311 did not get along Sublime erased their sample board on one of the warp tours Sublime owns 311. Sublime would never suck like 311 does now
nay, they got it from one of the members getting a 311, or i think it was one of their friends who later died, and 311 in police code is public nudity
its like the police code for like nudity or something and there ex guitarist got charged with that so thats what they named the band after being named the fish hippos haha thank god for the name change. nooo racist connection what so ever.
This is a very good song. When I teach my kid, I play this song when i teach him about "instincts" and trusting your gut when with others. Let's say it's musical, but it sticks in the mind!!!!
yeah,that kkk thing is b.s.they made 311 the band name because in nebraska, (where theyre from) the police code for indecent exposure is 3 11,and yeah there is a hispanic in the band
Personally it's silly to find out a band's name. I can make something up with 311 like hey they are three guys who love to have sex with 11 women. There you go another "hidden meaning" of the band's name.
im not sure but i heard 311 is racist because the 11th letter in the alphabet is k and k three times is....... well you know and im not saying its true i just wanna know
I saw them in concert with Matisyahu when they came to St. Louis also when they came to St. Louis with Snoop Dogg, everytime they come to the STL I can't get enough of it. Have fun at their concert because the people get rowdy as a motha fucka lol.
omg lmao i love this band, my cousin gave me one of their CD's and i never knew the name of the band until today haha i got that CD in like 2002 and now i just learned their name..im slow =[..but w/e great band. :D
theres definately more shit bands than good ones, but just remember that there are many amazing musicians out there - jeff beck, ween, chili peppers, ratatat etc. 311 is alright though
i wish you guys would stop using the word stealing and replace it with sampling. ice ice baby is a completelyfuckingdifferent song than under pressure
People who only think of smoking pot when they hear reggae do not, can not, appreciate reggae music...which explains why you all probably love this crap.
I remember heraring this song on the radio when I was like 4 and I was like damn! this sounds great! so every time I hear this song it brings back memories...
I wouldnt expect you to know of any Jamaican reggae bands, U're probably from Omaha where they dont even play that kind of music. Its ok, its not your fault pal.
Sublime is one of the most diverse bands i can think of. they can switch from smooth reggae to punk rock, to ska, then back to reggae all in the same song, and do quite often. what jamaican reggae artist do they steal that shit from?
you're right. they have the same bass line. i can't deny that. However, sublime is still unlike any other band. All musicians have influences and steal stuff all the time. That doesn't mean they are ripping songs off.
Chicago stole a riff from Led Zepplelin's "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You", and put it in their song "25 or 6 to 4", but Chicago is still a respectable band with many original songs. Later, in the 90s, Green Day also took the riff and put it in "Brain Stew". Jimmy Page even addmitted to hearing the age old blues riff somewhere and using it himself.
My point is, all of those songs have the same riff, but they are in no way "rip offs" of the other songs.
he took the bassline from "Under Pressure" which was NOT done by billy joel...but as a duet between Queen and David Bowie. He added a Hi-Hat percussion at the end of it, and looped it. the Hi-Hat gave it enough of a difference to not be copyright infringement
yeah ive been a sublime fan since i was like 10, and they did sample a lot of music. artist have been sampling other artist forever, its the most flattering thing a band can do.
you are right. what better way to show a fellow muscian respect than by acknowledging their great sound, and borrowing it to convey your own ideas musically.
hey thats cool. its just my opinion. a lot of people like 311. alot of people also like sublime. it really does not help that bradley died and sublime is no more. i just think at times 311 is alot like sublime but its ok. im starting to like them more now.
i cant watch 311's clip down or come original it says its not available in my damn country, I see no reason for these songs to be censored in Australia. Anyone have any ideas why? Not like were china or anything : P
311 & Sublime are my favorite bands and idk what your talking about they are 2 completely differnt bands 2 differnt sounds and vocals but both the best bands non the less.
fuck I looooove the backround music especially in the beggining but I don't like the vocals alot (don't flame, or go ahead whatev) but anyway anybody know of anything like this but instrumental?
I watched the Blake Lewis version of this song and I didn't like it.I think that he messed up this song. Then there was another where he was singing love song but I didn't watch it. I also like the part when they show the cat.
