What was the first 311 song you ever heard???

[@justinfrisk3741]

Beautiful Disaster on Guitar Hero World Tour

[@Rob_Cary]

Transistor after begging for the CD for months for Christmas in 97. I never even heard the band before but something about the album art just intrigued me so much that I had to have it. Something just told me as a 14 year old kid that I was about to find my favorite band.

[@raylgonzo]

All Mixed Up on KROQ 106.7

[@CSULou]

Down on Mtv. I was leaving for work and the song literally stopped me in my tracks. I was like...."Who is this?!?!" And the rest is history! 🤘😎🤙

[@joshuabiddix2923]

I'll be here a while

[@rowdystaudi]

YES!!! Thank you for having P-Nut on here, fellow bassist! Was really hoping you'd have one of the 311 boys on your show! Well done sir!

[@joshuabiddix2923]

I truly respect 311, those guys been in the game since I was 7 or 8 and still have a following. They sound good live, not everyone's cup of tea but I can listen to them all day and not the overplayed songs.

[@Vinceramsey311UM]

Man this is so sick 311 and avenged sevenfold have continuously been in my top 3 bands ever Love this

[@Rob_Cary]

This is what I've been wanting Garza to do! Nice! Best band in all the land! Favorite band since 97!

[@captainshiner42]

Love The Urge shout-out from P-Nut! Best band in St. Louis!

[@my_name_1s_mud_809]

Now you need to get Alex (Dirk Lance) formerly of incubus. You can’t give me half of my 90’s 00’s Warwick bass inspiration

[@WesAndersonMusic]

Great convo! Just subscribed to the channel. Would love to see A7X and 311 cross paths more often in the future.

[@BestFightPicksHalfTheBattle]

Oh hell yeah! 311 one of my all time fave bands.

[@oasis4ever718]

The Urge!!❤❤❤❤

[@BrandonHurlesYT]

Great episode guys! Gotta get Johnny on The Game Junction Podcast soon.

[@rowdystaudi]

Love the reggae conversation about 30 mins in! Very similar for me. My boys and I were in a local band for about a dozen years in Denver doing some kinda nu metal stuff in the early 2000's. Pretty heavy stuff, but 311 was always one of my personal fav bands growing up. Heavy riffs with lots of melody and reggae and funk/hip hop influence. The more our band pushed forward, the more reggae and stoked influence I would try to seep into the metal band haha. I went from kind of writing heavy angsty stuff, to just being happy and pushing more of a happy sound into the metal. It turned out pretty cool! Love pulling from all sorts of different styles of music for sure. Dirty Heads a big influence after seeing them on the 311 cruise in 2012! ps Johnny - Def go see 311 live, its a very fun set, and all of their sets are so different from show to show.

[@BGRETT-311]

39:50 "Leave space." Yes! Just like anything else in life. Pay attention to the space. Can't have "things" without space. Can't have music without quiet. Let the space do it's "talking" too. I love P-Nut.

[@BGRETT-311]

1:43:25 Look at Volbeat. I got to see them three times in a couple years. They rocked the U.S. over and over again.

[@captainshiner42]

I'm just curious as to whether or not my favorite 311 song of all time, "Wildfire" was actually influenced by A7X. I was getting A7X vibes from the end of "Friday Afternoon" as well.

[@PeterByker]

the Theme Song for this interview could be The Planet Smashers' "Surfing In Tofino".

[@Nabaxx]

❤

[@flyswatter45]

Band mentions..... Smashing Pumpkins, Stone Temple Pilots 0:34

[@springer90]

Fun fact, 311 opened for Smashing Pumpkins back in 1991

[@aban8631]

Mosaic is the better recent album over Voyager. Even more awesome guitar licks. Songs a bit more complete. Lyrics overall a bit stronger. It's their best modern work. Check out "One and the Same" and "Too Late" and "Perfect Mistake" for all of you heavier rock Avenged Sevenfold fans.

[@flyswatter45]

Name drops....

[@flyswatter45]

1:04 Billy Corgan

[@springer90]

311>>>>>>>Sublime

[@flyswatter45]

Nick Hexum lived longer
