@@NoelHaven 100% i had a blast! I was solo but it was awesome mingling with all the fans at the circle bar before and after the show. My first 311 day show but millionth time seeing them live!
Summer of ‘96 Down came on the radio and my life changed ever since. 60 shows and 25 years later including every 311 day since 2004 and last show I saw live since pandemic started .. Thx Pnut. And Transistor is the greatest album of all time
Oh my God. I’ve followed 311 since BEFORE the blue album. I’ve been a huge fan, as well as watch all the 2 bears 1 cave podcast, your moms house, etc etc etc and had NO CLUE P UT DID THIS CAST WITH BERT! I’m a bass playing crazy dude and Christmas came early.... but can’t believe this happened months ago!!
Pnut is the best. Such an amazing interactive performer. My first concert was in 1997, I was 15. I passed the torch to my kid & we went to her first show in 2022. 25 years later-she was 15. A “legacy” as another fan called it. If you’re a 311 fan-you know. Ty Bert.
I grew up with 311 in heavy rotation in high school and at party's. I'm a drummer and wouldn't be the player I am without learning and jamming 311 with my friends. Great bassist and Chad is a beast drummer.
Anybody else go to the 1999-2000 NYE show with 311 and RHCP (and Bicycle Thief opening) that P-Nut spoke of? Still one of the most magical and energetic shows I've been to. Everyone was playing their hearts out. The forum was sold out and the crowd positively electric. Even though I'd heard Down on MTV like everyone else, this show made me a 311 fan for life and I bought Soundsystem the following day at Tower Records. Perfect way to close out the millennium. I still rock Soundsystem, Transistor, and From Chaos regularly. Would love to hang out on a boat with the guys some day.
I reckon that album that turns music upside down and all around in your head totally reflects who you are at the time, and also it kind of ends up being something that reflects what it is in you that needs to be stirred up, which is as much a credit to your awakening as it is to the album itself. Full disclosure, I came to 311 via Down in 1996 but going through all the albums, Transistor definitely has a left-turn quality all on its own, with or without the other albums as context. Aaron seems like a really accessible guy, great candidate for open and candid interviews.
53:28 P-nut speaking on Transistor possibly being the best era of their music. I think that album is fucking PEAK 311. They went in hard, 21 songs, every feeling, blazing solos, best lyrics imo. *Best production* and something they've never really been able to recreate since.
yeah, as a huge 311 fan myself it was their peak IMO. Most hardcore fans consider it their best. They did come back really strong in 2014 with Stereolithic, which rivals it IMO (coincidently it is made up of a lot of revisions of transistor era tracks). Mosaic from 2017 is pretty good, minus a handful of bad songs. Their records in the 00s decade were not as strong. And their most recent album, Voyager, was in my opinion their weakest album ever unfortunately. Still, I enjoy pretty much every 311 album though certainly their older stuff is better generally.
@@AxelAlexK Pnut said they got back with their producer from Transistor for the 2017 album I think. TBH I turned my back on them and Incubus when Dirk left that band. I know those types of bands need to evolve to stay relevant but that wasn't why I was a fan. I heard a recent 311 song where they're talking about having a time on a Friday night. I was actually like angry. Why is this band, 5 members who haven't had a working class job since they were in their teens or early 20s pandering so hard hahah Dave Grohl can consistently release albums into his 40s and 50s? That are flat out great, original albums but there's no corny bs. When I was a kid it dawned on me that Blink 182 and Less Than Jake were still singing about being a tween and they were so old and out of touch.. Don't even get me started on whatever that Green Day album was, Grampas of Rock or something? Their drummer still wears eyeliner as far as I know 😄
@@robertfrost8264 I think the song you're referring to is Til the City's On Fire from Mosaic. And you're right, that song is terrible, my stomach churned the first time I heard it and hardcore fans consider it 311's worst song ever or atleast in the top 3 worst. It's infamous among hardcore fans for being bad. 311 didn't even write it and it shows, they started using a guest writer to write some songs on Mosaic and later Voyager, including that song. Thankfully that song is a terrible outlier and Mosaic contains mostly good to great songs. There are a few really bad songs on that album though (most of the bad ones are the ones 311 didn't write).
@@rayplaysgames_RPGI agree that Transistor is better, but I don't think Stereolithic is that far off. I usually put them at 1 and 2 when I rank 311 albums. I freaking love both. I know most would rank it lower but Stereo really hits for me.
My first show was 311's first show at Red Rocks in Colorado....changed my life. I think I might actually be in the front 3 rows in the first 311 tour doc...lol....enlarged to show detail??
P-Nut is the man. It was an honor to do a single with him and Lyrics Born. If you dig 311 and funky music you'll dig this! ruclips.net/video/8_VWYAozTgE/видео.html
Thank you Bert and Aaron, aka The Machine n’ P-Nut. Start a new musical podcast with Burr called,.....The P-Nut Burr Machine 👌🏻💨. STAY POSITIVE AND LOVE YOUR LIFE. I HOPE ALL OF YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE. ✌️
49:42... are you sure this didn’t happen in Missouri (about 30 miles outside of St. Louis)? I smoked weed with 311, @ a swimming spot we called “the slab”... right after their RV had caught on fire.
I love this interview so much. Hearing PNut describe Phish and Widespread Panic with such admiration. Understanding that they were amazing musicians...but not his style...
It's more the hustler mentality over blue collar. The difference is seen in the diversity and constant adaptation, vs the routine blue collar. P-Nut rules!
saw them a few years ago when P-Nut was doing the Rage bass solo. He made the comment that the songs from 20 years ago are so much more popular than their new songs. Well, the old songs contained so many nuances. (i.e. the random screams and guitar 'effects' on early Van Halen albums) Your new songs sound like the the attention to detail has been lost. It's like y'all are no longer hungry. Also, I believe there is a difference between musicians trying to create something musically complex vs. something that sounds good, but may be musically simple. (i.e Tom Petty wildflowers album)
Brent you worked at travel channel?? Thats crazy I thought you only got your chance at comedy because Tommy felt sorry for you and took you under his wing and Christina writes your material
I still listen to "Damn It" love that album. 311 Transistor I enjoy quite a bit, it show's your diversity as a band. Your shows were great shows back in the day at Bell Hall in Papillion, Nebraska or The Ranch Bowl in Omaha(which is the bigger city connected to Omaha) Glad you guys are doing well. Possibly make it to S.A. Tejas anytime soon?
Not gonna lie, that last live show was just the two talking about Tom getting injured. I paid to see something that was released the next day.. Kinda fucked up.. I'd ask for my money back, but that would never happen, Bert drank it away already.
I was at the concert they recorded the video Down for. It was a free concert in San Diego, Spearhead was the opener. I had just moved to San Diego two weeks before that.
First time playing a show, was opening for FUGAZI?!?!?! Thats so fucking intimidating, that's like me, never doing comedy, opening for Bert, so insane.
I had not been able to make it to any of the previous Live YMH/2B1C Shows but was looking forward to the NYE Show and got a ticket. Still have not been able to watch it: would not work live that night and going back a few times the week after and it still wouldn't play freely, kept pausing to load & freezing up but regardless did not seem like much of anything worth paying a ticket price for. I'm not usually one to complain or make a stink of something, I do hope that my fee went entirely to Tom and his stupid extremities, but I doubt I'll be paying for a "live show" again in the future. Starting to get even more unbearably unwatchable anyway.... but love 311 & the Pnut so I'm here now. Come Original! Don't Forget Omaha, Nebraska, NOT L.A.
how come everytime this bert kook interviews someone he asks a question and as the person goes to respond bert keeps talking asking 12 more questions and the person dont know what to answer???
To this day, 311 still puts on one of the BEST live shows you'll ever see..
100% been a fan since 95, seen them countless times! I finally went to 311 day this year. It was 3 days long and quite the experience!
True.....Dat. ive seen them twice in memphis,both legendary
@@djkeebler I was at 311 day too! I’ve been attending since 2010! 🤘🏻👽 It was sick being able to have one last bash before the world ended 😂
@@NoelHaven 100% i had a blast! I was solo but it was awesome mingling with all the fans at the circle bar before and after the show. My first 311 day show but millionth time seeing them live!
Agreed. Been to probably 25 shows over the years.

Hell yes, my brodel! Right there with ya! Been going to 311 day since 2010 🤘🏻👽
Yup
This was amazing Bert. Hands down, without question, my all time favorite band. Thank you for doing this.
absolutely love 311 and what they stand for. in a perfect world, a lot of people would share their love for all.
"Transistor" is one of the greatest albums of the 90's. Love 311!
Of all time
Great band. 311's Transistor and Stereolithic are 2 of my favorite albums ever.

This timeline is wild.
311 will always be the absolute pinnacle of musicianship to me.
My 1st concert was 311... with Incubus opening the blue album was my high school
Incredible

Saw that lineup few days before in SF at the Cow Palace, one of best shows ever
As a bassist this guys a legend. I started playing Warwick because of him
Was in elementary school taping songs off the radio when blue album came out, those distorted harmonics on Down were just so 🤘 when your a child
I love that he brought up Deftones!!! Fuck yeah!!!
I saw them live in Champaign Il circa 1998?? Still one of my favorites to this day! ❤
"P-Nut, Beat that thang" 311 FOR LIFE!!!
'Beautiful Disaster' my favorite song to ski to
I’m a straight up metal head, but I also love 311. Seen them a few times, always a killer show.
Interview starts at 15:11
thx MM hate sitting thru the tard bert mubbling love when someone gets me straight to who i came to hear
Is burt just a slow kid he only works when someone holds his hand or when he's got words in front of his face
I was a roadie a few years ago and toured with 311 on a couple tours. P-Nut is one of the most genuine people out there. Stoked to see him on here!
*Bert! For the new studio - You should definitely invest in some 4K cameras!*
Rewatching this after 3 years it still holds up. Huge 311 fan. I got to meet pnut's parents this year 311 day in Vegas. What great people!
Greatest band of all time.
Easily...
Stay positive and love your life!!
311 greatest band in the world ... the guy inspired me to teach myself the bass 4 years ago! Weird, I can only play 311 songs
Loved watching this, longevity in a band is important. I hope Bert reads this and gets even more musicians on the Bertcast... much love!
I reckon that album that turns music upside down and all around in your head totally reflects who you are at the time, and also it kind of ends up being something that reflects what it is in you that needs to be stirred up, which is as much a credit to your awakening as it is to the album itself.
Full disclosure, I came to 311 via Down in 1996 but going through all the albums, Transistor definitely has a left-turn quality all on its own, with or without the other albums as context.

311 don't have fans, they have a following
I'd like to take full credit for this podcast episode. I tweeted P-Nut about the Corey Taylor comment.
Lol bert shit the bed on this interview. 311 is the best
This is a great mash up 😍
Love you both!!!!!
My first show was 96 in asbury park convention hall with no doubt as opener. They lit that stage on fire. Both bands, btw.
Wow 3 years ago?!? How did I miss this? I just found it ..
Saw 311 at the patchogue music festival. Long island newyork back in 2015 or 2016. Such a awesome chill mosh and great show 👍
This is awesome, Corey called em out on your show, and you put P-nut on immediately 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Amazing interview !
I love watching all of the podcast within your circle! I can related with ALL OF YA'LL....
My first show was 311's first show at Red Rocks in Colorado....changed my life. I think I might actually be in the front 3 rows in the first 311 tour doc...lol....enlarged to show detail??
As the biggest 311 fan out there, I fuckin’ love this!!! ‘Can’t nobody do it like 311’! P-nut!,... ‘beat that thing’!
Last year was bad. This one can be bad too. You just need to check out my almost funny videos.
HELL YES! Saw 24/7 Spies/Hard corpse and Follow for now ay Betsy'e Boathouse in Vigina Beach....awesome two-tone show!
Interview PNut again! 311 just dropped an awesome song and it would be awesome to hear from him again! Awesome, I tell you! :)
P-Nut is the man. It was an honor to do a single with him and Lyrics Born. If you dig 311 and funky music you'll dig this!
ruclips.net/video/8_VWYAozTgE/видео.html
Great interview !!
311 forever. My first concert was 311 on the sprite liquid mix tour w/ Jay Z and N.E.R.D. in 2001 i think? Quite a lineup.
Thank you Bert and Aaron, aka The Machine n’ P-Nut. Start a new musical podcast with Burr called,.....The P-Nut Burr Machine 👌🏻💨. STAY POSITIVE AND LOVE YOUR LIFE. I HOPE ALL OF YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE. ✌️
Hell yeah. Idk how many 311 concerts I went to my when I was in my teens and twenties but it's gotta be like 15. Peanut... Slap that bass!
Loved 311 between the first album and India Ink era
Throw me a joint on stage what’s up
Bare ass yeah
bert you better be on the next cruise with us
I would not be a bassist if it wasn’t for Pnut!
Same
49:42... are you sure this didn’t happen in Missouri (about 30 miles outside of St. Louis)?
I smoked weed with 311, @ a swimming spot we called “the slab”... right after their RV had caught on fire.
2o seconds in the king of promo delivers flawless
I love this interview so much. Hearing PNut describe Phish and Widespread Panic with such admiration. Understanding that they were amazing musicians...but not his style...
Fuck yes, 2 People I'm super happy to see together!!
More power to bass!!!
This podcast runs smoother than the machine
I love the drums in "In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins.

5.5 miles a day for 364 days straight for the 2021 2000 mile challenge Burt.
Please make a drum podcast Peanut!!!! Please please 🙏🙏🙏
Hell yeah! 3..11..3..3..11!!
It's more the hustler mentality over blue collar. The difference is seen in the diversity and constant adaptation, vs the routine blue collar. P-Nut rules!
I met some weirdos and had myself a real good time.
❤️
Podcast start at 15:10.
You're welcome
Are you all using woop to keep track?
Never knew you were a fan of 311
Last year was bad. This one can be bad too. You just need to check out my almost funny videos.
If you had a heart in the 90s you listen to them
Great interview (minus the initial 15, lol). I could hear P-Nut speak about music all day.
How are you with TOOL?
Just watched your newest stand up last night and when you said nerd alert I fucking lost it 😂😂😂😂😂
Puro 311 viejo 🔥🔥
I was torn to click this because Bert is a hacky poseur but I really wanna hear what AW has to say.
Fuck it. I'm gonna fight through it.
311! 😍 Love P-Nut.
Huh, this should be good. The "oh yeah?" Stories these two could have back and forth
Does the tech dude have a RUclips? I saw drums so I wanna see him play lol
311 is a good band.
I like listening to Bert talk but this intro pushed me to the limit. He was all over the place
What a coincidence that they talk about the advancement of the internet and pot. The first online transaction was actually for a bag of weed 😂🤙🏼
Urban Dance Squad!!! Also Bert, take this like and subscribe for having the same Faith No More/311 love and compulsion.
I can’t get enough Bert and I don’t think I’m ashamed at all. This mans life needs to be a movie
What song will be played at your funeral? That’s too morbid Brent. 311 is the best
12 mile hike vlog !
I want to see an entire video of Bert "running"

THREE ELEVEN, THREE THREE ELEVEN!!!!

Isn't that random!
Intergalactic planetary intergalactic planetary

Please cut down on the intros fam
with all the rumors out there can bert just come out of the closet already? haha
Really Bret..Sin-ed? Perhaps you meant Shinade (Sinead) O'Connor? Damn he be R-worded. Peace.
