The last one sucked, worst one ever, it was so basic and un311 like, so much differnt from every other record they've made. Music and Transistor as the best, I think Transistor takes the cake actually. But anyway, the new single Creatures for a While ROCKKKKKKKS!! I have a good feeling about this record. I really hope i'm not disapointed like I was with From Chaos. If you want to download the new single, go here. www.robomuffin.com. Look for the link, Creatures CD VERSION, not the KROQ version. You want the album cd version, much better quality. Enjoy the song, it's a good one! They really got creative again.

That's cuz you live in WI. They're not real big in this part of the country, in Chicago they're a lot more poupular.
You didn't hear their last single "Amber"? Or "Come Original"?

You reeeeeeeeeeally owe it to yourself to see 311 play in Milwaukee on July 29th. Dude, you have my word this will be the best show you've ever seen.. hands motherfucking down. These guys sound better, have more stage energy and play longer than any other band out there. For real. These guys are EXCELLENT live and will be at the summerfest north stage with G Love and Special Sauce July 29th.
$25, don't f-ing miss it.

They sure do play alot longer than anyother band i've seen. They even had to take a break when they played in madison. Small shows of 311 kick ass, the security and police don't do anything at all, besides watch people smoke pot and not fight or argue. They sit by the beer tent (go figure). Enjoy the shows dudes.

Yeah for sure.. they're so underrated, especially from a live standpoint. The energy and sound is just phenominal, and their set lists are NEVER the same, I saw 3 shows in a row last tour and all 3 sets were changed compleatly from night to night.
I've read that this tour they've purchased a new and even more powerful soundsystem they're taking along.. it looks to be a great tour!
When you meant "Madison" did you mean Madison, WI or the Madison Theatre in Peoria, IL?
I was at both those shows, the Madison, WI one in 2001 and the Peoria one last summer. Both excellent concerts.

Madison Wi, yes, It was an awesome show too. It seemed like it went on forever, then when they busted out the tribal drums it was awesome. No people getting in trouble from cops either.

Yeah, that was a great show. The sound in that place is usually terrible. I remember the first time I saw 311 there in the spring of 2000, terrible show.. sound sucked. Then I saw them there the last time and it was a world of differnce.
You should go to the Milwaukee show, it's gonna be even better than that Madison show. New tour, they're fresh and ready to play, plus a new soundsystem and new songs.. The shows are rumored to be better than ever before.

Riverside? What city is that in? I don't like the Blue album, it's my 2nd least favorite in front of From Chaos... and yeah, the new record sounds great. I heard a leaked version of Reconsider Everything today, the album cut.

I might go to the Millwaukee show. Even better concerts would be insane, The list will go on forever now. They always play alot from each album, soo they got about 30 more minutes added i bet. That would be amazing.

you know 311 is code for KKK right? If a=1, b=2, c=3 etc... then k=11 3x 11 = KKK

And it will be amazing, they're not gonna play like 10 more songs than normal, but the sets will changed up a lot more, you'll hear songs they don't play very often. The usual 311 set is between 24 and 28 songs including the encore.
I'm picking up the album on friday, only 2 and a half more days. whoohoooo.

I really hope you're kidding. You'd have to be the most ignorant person in the world to actually believe that to be true. 311 stand for nothing but the opposite of that. That whole KKK rumor is a fucking joke, it kinda pisses me off people even bring that up anymore. Some fuckhead made that up like 8 years ago and people still mention it, unreal.

Yes, they do have a really long set list. The bands that open for them ussualy suck balls though (i think atleast) the second show in madison, The one we were both at had a decent opener. I like the sound in the expo center,it's different. If you said it sounded like an airplane hanger then your the second person ive heard that from. The first was at the actuall show, and they were right behind us, so 3rd and 4th in line.

The second Madison show was the shitty opener bro, they were called One Side Zero and they sucked! The original opener 311 had scheduled for that tour bailed on them at the last minute so they had to find a quick fill in, that's why. The first Madison show had a kick ass opening band, they were Jimmie's Chicken Shack and they rock! 311 sometimes will take a shitty band out, but not very often. They're best opener in recent years was Incubus in the summer of 2000. G Love and Special Sauce is right up there with them though. This is going to be a great tour.
Be sure to pick up the album on tuesday. Let's just say i've heard it already, and it's as good as anything they've put out. I rate it up there with Grassroots and Transistor.

311's got a very positive vibe. Beautiful vocals, and very tight on the instruments. Actually they have been the only band that has made me want to get up and dance just listening to their CD, and I am not a dancing type of guy
They give me mental pictures of really beautiful rainy days.
I like Soundsystem and From Chaos alot. I'll have to check out Transistor.
Feels like standing still.... What now? All we can do is try....
To shut it down....

Soundsystem and From Chaos are actually their two worst albums believe it or not. From Chaos definatly being the worst. Most people like Music, Grassroots and Transistor the best. But myself, after hearing the new record "Evolver" I have to say it's my new favorite.
This new CD simply tops anything they've ever put out. It truly is a masterpiece and deserves every award the music industry has to offer. I am on cloud 9 since downloading it. I can't wait to buy it on Tuesday.

Oh wow, your right dude. the first opener was kick ass. The second, one side zero, sucked balls. I didnt even want to get high while they were on stage. they were like the opposite of 311's music.
