Any 311 fans out there?

I saw them in concert for the first time this year in Saratoga Springs and they were amazing.

You got to come original...

    If you get the opportunity, I definitely recommend them in concert. Amazing energy and great stage skills.

    I liked their first 3 albums, but never got into the newer stuff. I've seen them twice, once at a tiny club show which was amazing, and once at an amphitheater. The second show was good, but didn't have as much energy as the club gig.

    I like 577 better or 70053.:D

    I have never heard of them to be honest, but I doubt that they made a song as good as 577.

    I used to love them, saw them 3 times back in 94/95, but I kinda lost track of them after Transistor. I still dig the early albums.

    I guess they just aren't that good.:D
    I just never heard their name before.

    Are they that big? Pearl jam, R.E.M., Soundgarden, Red hot chilli pepper's Nirvana

    I bet I can name a few you never heard of.;)

    Well I tried to look them up on a big Dutch music site and it wasn't on it, so I don't think they are that big.

    What are your favorite 311 albums?

    My favorite is the self-titled album 311 (otherwise known as The Blue Album), with Soundsystem being a close second.

    I heard that they are taking a break, their first in about eight years.

    Not quite sure when they will be back in the studio.

    I doubt it, they took a pretty good sized break between the Blue album and Transistor. But you gotta remember they tour like crazy!! that's how they get their name out there! the radio rarely, if ever, plays their songs, i guess more recently they've been making some "radio friendly" singles, but their live shows are where it's at! i never miss one, i've been to at least 2 311 shows every tour since the Blue album. :D Damn!! i love this band!! :)

    Yeah, they have gained their loyal fans love by touring. Their last real touring break was back in 1998, when they only played about a dozen shows. Before then and since, they have been non-stop.

    They do tour like crazy, but they aren't exactly young like they once were. They're in their mid-late 30's now. Not that that is old.

    I hope they dont take a break. But if they do, I completely understand.

    Sorry, white guys doing reggae never worksl, that's why 311 sucks ass. That is unless your talking about "snow"'s "informer". Cause that was the jam yo.

    yeah you're right... i guess it's a good thing 311 doesn't do reggae. :)

    i don't know what you're talking about with snow's "informer" being the jam. that song sucked.....but anyway i agree with you on everything else. i'm glad someone else realizes that 311 sucks. and people who are saying they don't do reggae......you're right they're not strictly a reggae band, but they definatly have a bit of a reggae influence, and it sucks. i'm sure you are the same people that think sublime is one of the greatest bands ever. another overrated shitty bar band with heavy reggae influence.
