🎶RENEGADE SOUNDSYSTEM 311🔊

[@jaredscott367]

I remember thinking 311 was lame...then one time I got really high and my roomate had a cd changer playing, and transistor came on....changed my life forever. i made the cd play it again. holy hell.

[@bljcamel1]

Definitely not lame. Dope as fuck. Just all their great songs aren't on the radio.

[@kevinhurst3709]

Genius on drums.

[@ladysnake8449]

I'm so proud to be a 90s kid. 311 will always be one of those bands that will be a part of me forever, even to this day. I'm still here for the transistor! 😎

[@Ruffnek310]

This album is Gold. Takes me back to when life felt like this music!

[@Memnon45]

Hell yeah man. 311 may fade but their songs are forever.

[@flyswatter45]

What other bands were you into? The grunge era was pretty good too.

[@jono1761]

@@Memnon45 Fade? They still tour every year and haven't lost a step. 311 - 30 years strong!

[@jamw8022]

summer of 97.. rockin a cassette in whatever car you had back then....solid shhit :)

[@davidi9625]

This song reminds me of summer 97 and my first car. Driving around my 92 Nissan Sentra blasting this album on tape. Man those were the best days.

[@josephphillips5955]

David Isordia yessir!!!! Back when life was easy and had little to no care about life at all

[@EM-hq7hv]

Lol, the good old days. Trying to rewind to the beginning of the song, back and forth a bunch of times just to have the radio eat your tape. Nooooooo!

[@ChesapeakeHammockandOutdoors]

Being a teen in the 90's was awesome wasn't it ? SO much has changed since then its almost sad. We really were the end of a generation, and of an entirely different era. Proud to be a gen Xer! It's funny, growing up,WE were supposed to be the generation full of slackers and misfits , but I think we turned out pretty damn good compared to the generations that followed us lol. Certainly Not that they are ALL that way, but for the most part I think. I know my wife and I are trying our hardest to raise our kids to be more like US than their peers lol!

[@sethwilliams108]

I was rocking the Sentra back in 97 too...blasting 311 and Deftones all summer. Good times man.

[@nemesiscomix]

Ha ha, it takes me back to driving my first car too. 85' Ford Tempo i called her "Yoshi" but my friends called her "POS".

[@oldschoolcompsci]

If you listen to this whole album 3 times in a row it will transport you to a random star system within 100 light years from here.

[@jamw8022]

one could only hope

[@siltstrider6812]

unfortunately I don't think there's a star system that close. 😛 😑...I'll leave now.

Assuming you hope to return to the same planet, how would you do it?

[@oldschoolcompsci]

Transistor is one of my favorite albums of ALL TIME. Timeless

[@jodysteck322]

One of the greatest albums ever made. Period.

[@jodysteck322]

Transistor = INSTANT GRATIFICATION

[@lisalegato0109]

Their best album, imo

[@TeamSleep]

That album came out right before I stared senior year of high school. That is the number one cd I played in my 1986 Mazda B2000. Good times.

[@billyamaro5656]

Not much on listening to albums wonly a few songs I like..are you falling me?

[@roxyrocks1985]

"You're a Transistor Lightning resistor Conducting to the mother star That's what you are"

[@dougmackenzie7183]

I have so many favorites but there's got to be my favorite 311 song

[@nathanshotwell8174]

I’m a metal head... through and through.....and yet this album has remained a staple in my life.... good times..... stay well everyone!!

[@bencollins51]

best 311 album hands down

[@CynicalScorpio]

Philip Garcia Name one bad thing about the Transistor album

[@kariannstunes8619]

They should have added One more. song! 😉

[@trevorsmith7507]

the drums on this are killer

[@RB-xv4si]

Trevor Smith it’s so easy to miss, but if you pay attention, it’s freaking badass. So many songs they have like that..if you single out an instrument, you realize how awesome they are.

[@jhaz89]

That Transistor and Soundsystem snare is the dopest sounding snare I've ever heard. And all his rim shots.

[@maes4824]

That guitar is heavy. 🤘🏼

[@jamesmcnicol9173]

This song turned me into a 311 Head ...the sound and vibration blew my mind ..

[@postive-vibes]

A million years ago I saw 311 on this tour (I had seen them on their Grassroots tour too). So good live! Always loved this track (along with "Stealing Happy Hours" from this album).

[@jamw8022]

here's something for ya.. always LOVED 311... in 1997 worked at a store in the mall called Gadzooks... this video was on one of their company video tapes they send out every month that played on the TV's in the store... if anyone remembers that store.. just a little nostalgia :D :D

[@patrickdoyle81]

Those cosmic harmonies!

one of the greatest bands of the 90s

[@kevinhurst3709]

My son turned me on to this band back in the 90s....one of the best things he ever gave me lol

[@SkyownerRocks]

I have to say, this is nice reggae rock music right there.

[@shezie9525]

It really is!!

[@amac8237]

Oh man. 97, 9th grade, jncos, airwalks, wallet chains, my skateboard, and rattling the windows of my bedroom to this song😁

[@jamw8022]

holy F... lol YES I worked at the mall, had my jncos, my ball chain necklace... here's a quick story for ya... i was in the shop rite parking lot, rockin some 311 jam, windows down in my 91 red VW Golf... some old dude came up to the side of my car and said "is it loud enough???" like he thought he was funny... that's how I rocked 311 back then and still do now, but now it's in a 2018 gray Golf :)

[@BiblicallyAccurateToaster]

My kid in HS bought a chain wallet, showed me & it was this little thing lol. I told her that's not a chain wallet & busted out my photos from HS when I was skating. Spiked bleached hair, eyebrow & labret pierced, wide legs, adidas shell tips, long ass chain wallet & a fuck ton of attitude. She said, "holy shit you were so cool!" & before I could say thanks she said "what happened?" LOL😅

I was class of 2001... I wore baggy cargo pants, "wife beaters"... Those were the days.

[@JKDVIPER]

This shhhh is fly. 🤘🏼classy quality classic by a legendary band.

[@risenfromyoutubesashesagai6302]

It's crazy to think this was their 4th studio album. It's my all time favorite album of theirs. I like many others, but Transistor has that special magic that keeps it at the top for me.

[@liliannakifflin6343]

The last awesome decade of the 90s will always be our golden time, especially for 311. The '90s will always live on, even with the transistor. 🧡🤘😎

[@steves3948]

The riffs in this song are badass. One of the most underrated bands ever.

[@davidbyerly9846]

311 had some of the greatest 90s rock lyrics. Especially in the second verse of this song and Beautiful Disaster. Plus, they can really play great live.

[@kariannstunes8619]

Where have you all seen them live?

[@kariannstunes8619]

Chicago IL sold out show.... was called "Rosemont Horizon" back then. They belt out such AWESOME Harmony don't they?
