Not sure what made this come up on my recommended videos, but holy shit, 311 is not only still together, not only still touring, but it's the same band members for almost 35 years.
It is a bit funny listening to some mid-50's guy singing about making out in the hallway or how "whack" the Real World is.
I had a bit of a 311 phase in HS. As borderline cringe/cheese as they can be sometimes, They’re great musicians and can pretty much recognize any of their songs within 2 seconds. And like you said, have to respect the longevityI spent two minutes skipping through that.
It 50/50 makes me cringe, and at the same time respect them for still going.
I was in high school when “Down” came out and I remember it coming out well. Lots of MTV play, radio, friends playing it. They come off as a bit corny to me and always have, but not as bad as say, god forbid, Limp Bizkit or Creed or the like.
They ride a thin line between being kinda awful and at the same time appreciating what it was 30 years ago - which is scary to say.
