  • You know what's so cool about 311 and Deftones....that they don't care what their fans/audience is into....you could be a metal head, or a hip-hop head and still rock out to their music and really enjoy it for what it is! 311 fused rock, reggae, rap, funk, and other styles and it works! As far as albums go, each one has their own thing....when you buy an album you listen it to entirely and then appreciate the good songs! Just random thoughts guys!

  • er singt schief oÖ

  • this just feels right!

  • 5 people suck

    

  • I was inspired to play music when I accidentally listened to the end chorus of this song in reverse right after college. true story. however, I'd've probably had more luck dressing up like a chicken on the side of the highway and selling low quality frozen chicken nuggets to local fatties. Please find happiness in your life. Team-O-Cil just isn't real happiness.

  • The mix is horrible

  • @jts024 soundboard recordings are never good :)

  • I've been a fan of 311 sine 93 and have grown with 311 as they've grown as a band. To the person above stating if you like Uplifter you have no idea what goos 311 is, Dude, i love Uplifter and every album they've put out. They've grown up as a band...maybe you should too. Despite what you may think, you're not the voice of 311 fans everywhere. get off your high horse and shut your stupid mouth. 311 is all about unity and here you go trying to participate in division. You're missing the point!

  • sounds like shit compared to the album version. they rushed through the song and fucked it up

  • @hom3brew you DO realize that they are playing to a click track right?

    

  • heres one from (the best 311 album) called eons

  • @100xines

    yeah. i clearly don't like 311. that's why i own almost all their albums and would give anything to see them play 311 day up here

  • haha i dont care about comparing the albums, i just listen and enjoy the fuck out of each song! there is not one song from 311 i dont listen to, usually i just cycle through albums, its really nice im diggin soundsystem right now.

  • hex is god

  • miT's strap is pretty badass...

  • no matter what song or what album, 311 is just an all around fantastic band. every song has a meaning and they sing the lyrics in a unique way that just makes them even better. when they came out with uplifter i thought it was very good and fit right in along with all the other great songs they have made.

  • i can jam to any 311 album front to back. I think Nick and SA were just lyrically lacking on Uplifter, they need to smoke some weed again

  • anybody at this show? how was the crowd?

  • if any of you feel that Uplifter is a good album, then you have no idea what good 311 sounds like and I feel sad for you. Compared to Music, Grassroots, Transistor, Soundsystem, From Chaos and Evolver, Upliflter isn't shit!

  • @phishrox1

    to each their own. uplifter may not be the best 311 album, but it certainly is a good album. solid through and through.

  • @timespinster Uplifter is in the top 5 of their 10 albums IMO. As an earlier person posted though... To each their own. Evolver was a huge shift looking back. They havent been the same since, but that's expected and ok. They elvolved. From Chaos was the last 311 album of that older style. Evolver and beyond are completely diff, but still great in their own ways.

  • @phishrox1 I can't believe a 311 fan? is hatin on uplifter ...

  • @phishrox1 Why can't they all be 311 albums? Maybe your opinion sucks. Because Uplifter is amazing. Along with all other 311 albums.

  • @phishrox1

    Uplifter was a great album, but the older albums are without doubt worlds better.

  • @phishrox1 no my friend.. i feel bad for you... 311's music changes because life changes... i know that... so i love uplifter and everything before it... and i'll continue to love 311 forever... unity. sup

  • @phishrox1 sure uplifter isnt nearly as good as those albums but idc what you think, you cannot call any 311 song or album bad

  • @phishrox1 i'm glad i'm not the only one who thinks this. don't tread on me was a POS album as well

  • @phishrox1 Disagree! Uplifter is one of their most complete albums. Yes it might have a pop sound to it, but the song arrangements are amazing. After Transistor I always felt most of their albums were a hit and miss, but Uplifter was their return to form. Neither Evolver nor Don't tread on me can't hold a candle to Uplifter!

  • @phishrox1 Agreed, I got into 311 with their earlier stuff, then I listened to their older work and realised how much better it was

  • @phishrox1 word up dude testify the truth cuts in deep and draws a clearly salty persons wicked response they use to write nothing but great shit,not 2 or 3 decent songs and thats it.they can have jackpot ill take hive.

  • @phishrox1 It contains Sun Come Through, and IMO, that's one of 311's best songs of all time.

  • @phishrox1 I seriously cannot agree with you more... Thank you!!

  • @phishrox1

    do you realize that you can think uplifter is a good album and also think that old 311 is fuckin dope?. you're a douche. just because old 311 is the greatest music ever doesn't mean that if new 311 albums aren't as good, they aren't good. thats what the "hardcore 311 fans" can't get over. if every 311 song doesn't feel like a song from music through soundsystem then its 'not good" funny that the biggest critics of 311 are the supposed "hardcore fans" ,universal pulse kicks ass

  • I like SA, but this is Nick's song. The backup vocals were completely unnecessary

  • @phishrox1 sorry but you are fucking high in a "bad" way if you didn't feel uplifter..

  • Comment removed

  • @phishrox1 you like DTOM more than Uplifter, never met anyone like that. I for one love them all, depends on my day really, and listen to the bsides of uplifter before you judge it

  • @phishrox1 Nah, Uplifter is still good stuff. True 311 fans love all their stuff. Like me :) I've been a fan for 15 years. Granted, there are some songs I like more than others, but I couldn't even say what song is my fav, becuz SO many of their songs are AMAZING

  • Oh my god!!! He uses a 6 string and so many people tried ringing me out about how they used a 7 string on the album.

  • @GuitarLove462 only on a few songs he used the 7 string, like mindspin

  • will they ever come to Puerto Rico???

  • Well what can i say. I love this song and it is by far my favorite one form them. SO POWERFUL!!!

  • I have been following 311 since the MUSIC days (a long time) and this song and album is by far their best. Nick does not sound as hauntingly good like this in any other song. I am a big fan of their uplifting music but this song above all others will always be my favorite.

  • would have been better if SA hadn't attempted backup vocals, but amazing song anyway

  • This is one of my favorites

  • great song but something sounds weird with chad's cymbals

  • What a song! What a band!

    It was 1998, when I've first heard them and I can't stop listening to their music.

    I'm a common Russian guy, I've been living in Moscow-city all the way, but 311 keep rocking my life! Music, lyrics, all things considered - I can hardly remember a really bad song from them. And their best things (IMO) have been created in mid-nineties...

  • Nick is so beautiful!

  • "Not an even field

    to be on

    feels like standing still

    for eons and eons

    stare it dead in the eye

    what now?

    all we can do is try

    to shut it down

    shut it down"

    ..so true... love this song

  • Everyday is 311 day

  • this song is so sick with it live...

  • lol this concert was on my 7th b-day... but 311 is the shit , best band ever

  • I can't hear ANY sound effects in this song, though SA seems to be doing them.

  • @RATMfan92 I agree. It needs to be louder.

  • gotta luv 311 live

  • Comment removed

  • tims guitar strap = fucking win

  • EONS BIOTCH!

  • they need to have a 311 day up on the east coast!!! idt they have had 1 up here yet :(

  • need one in Philadelphia

  • @crewgirl2787 hell yeah, "i'm not from philly but some say i'm blunt, its just the way i am and no i wont front!" - guns(are for pussies)

  • @nofxopivyrancid Ya they do, Boston all the way baby 2012!!!!!!! I wish, lol.

  • @nofxopivyrancid they need to have a 311 day in every state damnit!!

  • Eons & Sever are theee besst

  • i totally agree theyre awsome

  • Sound System is one of my faves. i hope i make it to 311 day this year

  • Not to be the bearer of bad news, but it's sold out. You can find tickets, but you'll be paying at least three times what they're worth. I'm one of the fortunate ones. Good luck, maybe I'll see you there.

  • Beyond chaos is 311's best album!

  • *From Chaos

  • @bigrickstar what record is that.

  • wow

  • and I bet everyone there is loaded

  • that was on my birthday

  • Soundsystem: the best 311´s work. A lot of great songs.

  • best song off soundsystem, followed closely by strong all along

  • nah

    freeze time

    eons

    large in the margin

  • dont forget Livin & Rockin!!!

  • and sever

    livin & rockin is good too

  • Essay Ruined this so bad

  • Its SA

  • not going to lie, i thought he kind of did too. Love this song though

  • such a bomb song

  • it's obvious that for the recording on soundysytem he used a seven string....

    Listen to that "nobody knows just why part"...fuckin low and oh soo doomy

  • In an interview, Tim says he only ever used a seven string on Mindspin, the low note you hear on that part is an easy chromatic chord.

  • great song, sound system was so fresh from 311

  • this song is soooo under rated..

  • @863antman 311 is underrated

  • @863antman nah, everyone knows its badass

  • @863antman It's one of my favorites

  • @863antman

    i'm pretty sure every 311 song is underrated

  • You mean Dj SA?

    He's a DJ. +back Vocals.

    Or do you mean the out of sync part?

    Welcome to Live performances, where they get 'tired' and stuff.:D

  • tim has a schecter C7 that he used on Eons, MInd Spin and also on Give me a call

  • he uses a baritone on soundsystem.And its only for mindspin to my knowledge.Look up tims setup they have a 10 minute video on here of his whole rig.

  • He's using blue-blue in this video, and blue blue is a six stringed, so that's not correct. He said he only uses a seven-string when playing Mindspin

  • Tim has a baritone guitar, dont know about a 7 string, the guy is a pro guitar player so it would be no surprise if he did. Big 311 fan, this is one of my favorites here, play this for someone you know, at the right time, cough..., they will love it.

  • i don't know much about about tim's guitar collection, but I don't think there's much of a necessity for a 7 string. I think the misconception comes from the fact that tim plays a lot of power chords starting on the 5th since p-nut can handle the low notes with his 5 string. I think rivers cuomo does this too, just listen to buddy holly

  • my favorite song by them

  • 311 rocks the house!!!!!

  • chad sexton is so raw

  • I dont think Tim has ever used a 7 string for anything in 311. What made you think that? He's pretty much an exclusive Paul Reed Smith player.

  • im pretty sure he has a red 7 string in his collection. idk if he used it for this song but he has used one for recordings before. im pretty sure DTOM was one he used it on. someone else will probably know for sure.

  • Tim used a 7 string for Mindspin, and he uses it when they play it live, which is a rarity.

  • Didn't they record this song with a 7-string?

  • this shit is illl ....wish i coulda been there

  • you deserve to get slapped in the face.. first he has the most amazing and unique voice, second y are u posting shit if your just talkin shit about SA?? you need a live show

  • dammit, hit the thumbsdown button on accident. true stuff though. live shows for the win!

  • Comment removed

  • for eons and eons...

  • saw this live last night....BAD ASS. I'm so glad they played it

  • dude really?????This is one of my favorite songs and they didn't play it when I saw them 2 weeks ago......still a great show tho!

  • 311 is the best

  • 311-maryjuana ggggooooooodddddddd!!!!!!!!!!

  • Perfect example of why cannabis is the worst drug in the world. It turns you into a retard.

  • thats funny your callin buddy a retard when u just said cannibis is the worst drug in the world when its so good to our society.. like hexum says.. just take a moment to smoke a joint once in a while! it can only do u good

  • nah, you start retarded. That's how you make music like this.

  • Don't worry. He's a dorky virgin who is too scared to try pot.

  • I suppose if everyone else's goal in life was to be an unsuccessful retard of no value to society, then yes, being scared to do drugs would be a bad thing. Think that over if you can maybe? ;-)

  • nice try.

  • nice lack of response. :-D

  • what is this arguement? everyone smokes buds, the more people the better the society will be.

  • Yep.

  • nice lack of comment :) retard.

  • Considering im about to go to college with a 3.6 GPA and get a BA in business administration. Nice Try uneducated retard. It's uneducated people like you that make society dumber every single day. Keep listening to the BS that the goverment tells you, follower.

  • and its people like you WHO VOTE FOR MCCAIN YOU BLINDSIDE ASSHOLE

  • How exactly do you think they can produce art like this "retarded"? I think you're just insensitive and stereotypically discriminitave against that which you lack the capacity to understand. "I smoke it, but not everyday; 'cuz anything, all the time's a drag, I say."

  • what the fuck are you even talking about. stop giving the herb a bad rap. what did it ever do to you

  • wow these fuckers does jus take me 2 a special place with thier melodies.....thier songs jus grow and grow on me

  • why is 311 so good?

  • hey, to all the people who were offend by those comments that wasn't me somebody went on my profile and did it, I actually like this music

  • egadzooks nick is hawt!!!!

  • "This music is Awful" -- I like how you capitalized the 'A' in 'Awful' as if that had any kind of grammatical significance whatsoever. Idiot.

  • It makes me wonder if people that live in non-English speaking countries butcher their language to the extent to where it's almost unreadable. But I doubt those people actually can afford a PC and the internet. It's a wonder that these people don't choke on their own saliva.

  • Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i cant wait till thansgiving i just was smokeing my tabaco water pipe and thought about candy yames u should stop listening to slayer or iron maiden

  • dude i like smoked out of my dads bubble pipe the other day and got so fucked up. kid shut up your whole comment was an excuse to show everyone you smoke congrats dude so does 80 percent fo the country

  • i dont smoke stuff that gets me high tabaco why would i be proud to smoke i just wanted to set the mood for my comment u should try to make a presintation out of ur comments and stop listening to slayer
