Great questions, great interview. Nick isnt dodging raindrops, answers every question. Kudos to transparency and honesty.
311 forever
Appreciate the realer questions! Seems every 311 interview is usually exactly the same.
Besides the Rap-Rock invention, 311 also brought up all these new Cali-Reggae bands too....Pepper, DH, Stoopid, Rebalution, etc.....
Not to mention P-Nuts parents doing the original fan website and street team efforts. Shout out P-Nut's Mom!
Every interview where Nick recalls living in Van Nuys with the band he mentions having to eat Top Ramen 😂
I had learned about Nick's difficulty with addiction and eventual sobriety like 8 years ago but I had never seen any media where he discusses it. This is the first time so it's nice to see some transparency coming from him. He definitely skirted around the harder questions and chose not go into detail. But at the same time I learned more about his issues now than ever before so I appreciate that.
I was the first person to play 311 on a local radio station in Wisconsin. 89.1 WBSD.
That’s awesome, big up!!!
Thank you
Proof or it didn't happen
Nick, thanks for sharing the positive vibe! Enjoyed the introspection.
Omaha Stylee!
Wake the town and tell the people.
Much love to Nick. I met him the other day (and the rest of the band) and glad he got clean. I had no idea he had substance issues. This interview really made him seem more human and transparent. And good for him for using that energy to improve his physical health. The dude is still shredded
Love the questions by the interviewer here
The Beatles of rap/rock😉
I wish Nick wasn't so positive. His positivity has created some of the most bland rock music in 20 years. The best music usually comes from stress. Even the old school 311 fans can admit now that the band is phoning it in. Fight me below.
All bullshit aside, this is so spot on. I was saying the same thing. Darkness creates some damn good music. And let’s be honest, we all need that sometimes
You diagnosed the symptom correctly but I disagree with the diagnosis. It's too simplistic and reductionist to say the problem there is positivity=blandness. Most bands have a creative arc. Most people want to hear guns n roses play stuff off their first record nobody wants to hear chineese democracy. For any band u might be able to mention that bucked that trend, there are dozens of bands like aerosmith whose second half of their career in terms of writing is nowhere near as interesting musically as the first half. 311 guys are all in their 50s now [pnut 49] , sorry but people get softer as they age. Happens to most everybody including song writers. I'm glad I was there when from 93-99 with this band because it was incredible then, imo.
Disagree wholeheartedly
They've been about positivity their entire time as a band. They have no dark music
311>>>>>>>>Linkin Park
Nick is dying his eyebrows, he should just dye his beard as well.
This is the best comment you could come up with?
Im sure he's gonna get right on that for you.
This shits so dope.
Andy, check out PELL from New Orleans. He’s been making music with Yung Franco 🔥
311 Day swag exchange gave the younger crowd such joy. It's how Halloween times 311. Just got back and feel more calm.
@42:58 Hour of power/century club!
Mean people suck... 😢
God is real .Look up to him forever
Nick want you to produce my solo album hmu🤔
