This video got me into 311 ... back when it was a brand new video. I love these guys ... Nick has one of those voices that you can relate to right away, he defines a time and place. Good times!
this song is rad. I remember when I was in the 10th grade my brother got me a custom made t-shirt with this songs lyrics on the back in spanish. This reason why it was in spanish was because we both took spanish in high school all 4 years
depends on how much you take as well before you can trip really hard. with my experience the blotters arent as potent and i needed to take like 4 and i was like really trippin but with the gel tabs you need like 3 to be trippin as hard as the 4 blotters
Okay so if any of you guys knew anything about 311 you would know he does say "nigga" after the "and then I rise" part in the original recording, it's edited out in this video. When in concert he says brother. SA is half mexican and half Irish. In the song Fat Chance (aka fuck the bullshit) Nick says "nigga" as well.
The f!rst vid on my own side by The Eleven's! .. and so far the best of them .. so acid so kick ass .. so rock! .. that fucking shit is great and yes the lyrics is a polluted bullshit and is great for it!
i think you're all fucking stupid for trying to analyze the fucking lyrics. most of you were only about 5 yrs old when this song came out anyway. get a fucking clue and piss right off, you mindless sheep.
Ever notice that SA uses the "N word" in this song? They sort of blur the audio in this version (around 1:30 of the video), but I'm almost positive he says "And then I rise, ni**a" at the start of his verse. Not like I think he's using it in a derogatory way, since I know that's not how 311 rolls, but I think it was cool back when they recorded the song, but now maybe they feel different about it. Anyway, my two cents - see you in NOLA for 311 Day!!
Yeah I noticed that too, but if you watch the 311 Day 2004 DVD [or seem them perform live] he says "brotha" instead...very classy, he probably just wasn't thinking back then.
this song is tight as shit.... ive been listening to 311 for 4 years now and havent seen this video but heard the song... the video makes it 10 times more bad ass
yea dis is my first time seeing the video besides the 4 other times i just watched it...its cool but wish they had more live footage like in the beginning

as ridiculous as this sounds, judging the lyrics, its about an acid trip...
"Fourth of July

glen- theres deffintaly more fake/less potent blotter but if you can find it i think their the best 2 can be like 4 or 5 easily, just harder to find.
