well i was never really a big fan of 311, but when i heard this song for the first time it was by 311 and i was like...damn thats actually a pretty throwed ass song...but when i found out it was a song by HR i was like.....damn i knew there was a reason i liked this song...
@TrueStonerArmy I am not sure but I bet HR lives in a medical marijuana state with a docotrs recommendation and has someone grow from him or grows his own medicine
@TrueStonerArmy I am not sure but I bet HR lives in a medical marijuana state with a doctors recommendation and has someone grow for him or he grows his own medicine. So, he does not have to spend money to smoke the tree of life.
@TrueStonerArmy yeah. I moved to a medical marijuana state in 2006. I wasted more than 10 years of my life chasing a piece of ass in texas. Had i went to california in 1996 when the medical marijauna movement started i would be a millionaire.
this is ok, but I've seen them live /HR & bro (w/band) and I've seen videos of some shows. They sometimes do it slow, sometimes fast...although i think it's mellowed over time. I heard it live before it was on any commercial recording...one of the burlington reggae fest shows comes to mind from the early 90s..totally SMOKING version..angrier and faster...
311 version is better, it's a great song but between the original and the 311 remake 311 takes it hands down 100% PERIOD, this is actually kind of terrible. Sounds like a garage cover lol.
can someone please show me proof that this is the original version cause i've looked above and beyond and all i come up with is that 311 wrote this song..
yeah well 311 pays hr 15000 a year to cover the song witch i dont get if i was in a band id play my own songs and keep the money. not that HR doesnt deserve it more.
the band originally covered for the "Hempilations" compilation. It's such a crowd favorite at shows, they owe it to the fans to play it, regardless of how much it costs them
@renegade687 i didnt think you had to pay royalites to the original artist if you cover thier song live, i would only think that they pay him for the appearences of the song on thier released/live versions for the song. but maybe since they cover at every show maybe they do...i dunno.
@renegade687 i find that hard to believe.. 311 has not had anything released with that song on it since 2006... i would like to see what source u got this ($) from
@renegade687 sometimes the band covering the song just does it better. ie nirvana covering meat puppets and 311 covering this song. there are alot of great songwriters out there that dont have the talent/equipment to make there songs hits.
wow thats alot of weed lol

Rastaman you look real stupid with your comment, this not Bad Brains this is H.R from Bad Brains
Bad Brains is not Reggae nor Real Reggae, they hail from D.C. and are more hardcore punk than anything
They just chose Rastafari movement as their religion
311 just payed tribute to an artist that Hexum enjoyed in his youth
