AndyMac with the sick burn

11/24/2008 2:20:38 PM

who?

11/24/2008 2:20:43 PM

oh I'm sure you don't know who they are

11/24/2008 2:21:02 PM

OMG, 311 = KKK

11/24/2008 2:21:44 PM

11/24/2008 2:22:39 PM

I love some 311

and yes they've had like 3 great albums since '97....

Evolver, From Chaos, Soundsystem......but nothing worthwhile since '03

haha thats the first thing i thought of

11/24/2008 2:30:22 PM

fuck it, i'll admit it... i like 311

11/24/2008 2:35:29 PM

ditto...

our musical tastes seem to be shared..

11/24/2008 2:38:34 PM

truth, my friend.

11/24/2008 2:40:09 PM

i wish they would tour in the south east (typically and i know there are exceptions they only tour the midwest)

11/24/2008 3:09:20 PM

^huh? they played here this past summer with Snoop Dogg

I've seen them twice, both times they put on a good live show, they were best at the Myrtle Beach House of Blues

11/24/2008 3:10:26 PM

i was out of the country unfortunately

but pollstar.com usually lists their shows

bit of trivia: 311 is the police code for skinny dipping (which their friend was caught for, hence the band name)

11/24/2008 3:25:11 PM

down down

11/24/2008 3:50:38 PM

renegade soundsystem 311

11/24/2008 4:33:03 PM

11/24/2008 5:05:14 PM

beautiful disaster ftw

11/24/2008 5:07:03 PM

they originated the nickelback principle of copying your own songs

and then released "come original" to everyone's delight

11/24/2008 5:08:59 PM

11/24/2008 5:10:02 PM

^^yeah that album kinds sucked, imo all rock post 99 sucks and carries that generic "top 20" sound to it after that

YES

11/24/2008 5:28:22 PM

I, too, have listened to shitty indie rock music

11/24/2008 5:28:47 PM

i am of the opinion that from late 2004 to early 2006, sleater-kinney was the best rock band in the world

11/24/2008 5:44:19 PM

Good list, just got the new deercastle (thanks for reminding me to listen)

Oh, and Monotonix are fucking incredible. Here's a show I went to in Charlotte, it was one of the my musical highlights of this year.

good drummer but I havent enjoyed them since my middle school days really

11/29/2008 12:00:08 AM

MANDO DIAO's albums: bring 'em in, hurricane bar, ode to ochrasy, and never seen the light of day are all post 99 albums that don't suck.

[Edited on November 29, 2008 at 12:04 AM. Reason : i helped put out a rock album in 2008, but it wasn't that good ]

11/29/2008 12:03:18 AM

^wat

11/30/2008 12:44:48 PM

311 is awesome. probably my 2nd favorite band ever (ratm being the first). i really do like all their albums. maybe im too much of a fan boy. their next cd is due early spring next year. it's been like 3-4 years sinces their last album, so maybe this one will be fucking awesome. at least i hope.



also, seeing them in concert is probably one of the best experiences ever. amazing awesome show that they put on. im sad i wasnt able to go to 311 day this year, but 2010 - here i come!!!!


[Edited on November 30, 2008 at 12:58 PM. Reason : concert]
