Other bands need to take a page from 311. This is class, talent, and soul all wrapped up nicely. Respect, boys. Thank you for all the great music.

Tim Mahoney is one of the most underrated guitarist in the world

So underrated… Don’t know why they weren’t bigger than they are… Their sound is iconic and original

Nick Hexum is a grade A songwriter. Tim is a grade A guitar player. They bounce off of each other and the result is amazing.

Every member of the band is a class act. Positive, skilled, nice people. 311 is an inspiration!!!

311 is my official beach, sittin in the sun music. Without getting "emotional" 311 is the king of relaxing/unwinding type of music. Which really should exclude super intense emotions

Met these guys in early 2000s, my band was playing Acme Underground in NYC and they were there to see Nick's brother's band play after us. Very cool guys they put nine of us on the guest list for their show the next night at the Electric factory in Philly.

He nailed it by saying that if you keep at it, after a while people will hear your unique spirit, and that’s the only way they will relate.

This is by far one of the best interview videos i have ever seen. The honesty of TIm and Nick coupled with the comfort and smothness of the host is intoxicating. Nothing fake, nothing blown up, tons of respect for all of the creative processes for the past 3 decades. I remember buying music, grassroots and the blue album all in one week in the 90s, what a adolecent blow torch that was!!! Thank you!!!!

The solo in "Lose" is the first thing I ever learned to play on guitar and if it weren't for that song, I probably wouldn't have played guitar for the last 15 years. Thank you Guitar Center for putting this together and thank you 311 for making my life so much better. On a side note, if you like SA's lyrics about aliens, look up Lloyd Pye and Graham Hancock and prepare to have your mind blown.

The Urge was so good. I can remember watching them at Mississippi Nights in the 90s like it was yesterday

Pleased to hear so many years later of Jerry's impact on Tim. Cheers to fond memories with you, Tim, in Mr. Moragues' geometry class circa 1984. RIP Vincent Moragues (2/5/19).

Love 311! My favorite punk band of all time is NOFX!!

Such good, genuine dudes! Just saw there show in Boise on the 14th of Aug, and man the amount of energy they still give off after 27 years is a testament to their greatness, their love of music and there fans! Keep on keepin' on fellas!

Nick mentions Jim Croce at 15:30. I love you for that man. My all-time favorite songwriter/musician. First music I ever got into as a kid and it has stuck with me. I mean, I cut my teeth on VH, Rush, Ozzy, Maiden and all that growing up, but Croce is THE SHIT! Nick has great taste. Kudos dude.

Use of time has tge best 311 solo for me

So happy I got to see 311 with Incubus back in 2000. It was memorable and I still listen to both bands today!

02:24 I demand a Tim Trombone solo on the next 311 album

I love their answers. They’re just so cool. Legends

Wrote that last comment right after the 20 minute mark... Needed to add something. Its awesome that Nick said Evolver was underappreciated, more namely Creatures. That song almost completely defined my life for several years. Its crazy how you remember your life by the songs you were into those days. 311 has been my favorite band for around 20 years. Maybe 18. Even if they were to stop making music today, my favorite band wouldn't change. Like to see a little more of Zach though. Ill be one of the first grandpas in assisted living with my Soundsystem bumping 311. Hahahaha!! Good shit man. -Richard 35 years Thanks for everything Chad, Tim, Nick, SA & P-Nut; OR... SA, Chad, P-Nut, Tim, & Nick Doesn't matter how you put it together, its all love, This is my first, last, and best commentary on 311. Live Positive, Love Your Life!... Richard Deese

Remember rolling around Atl with Shooties Groove, 311, The Urge, chillin at hotel after party after shows waaay back mid 90’s, best times, hahaha I had Tim’s hash pipe he left in Atl, …. make sure I get that shit back next tour, that shits my favorite

311 are amazing from attitude, style, music and positivity.

It's interviews like this that make me love 311 even more. Ever since hearing the blue album & playing it non-stop for a summer I was hooked. They keep evolving w their music & get better like a fine wine. We missed you @ Summerfest 2017 guys. Make a return in 2018 👍

Dude...soooo chill. Don’t know what it is about these guys but they seems like such nice genuine people. Love 311!!

311....the soundtrack to my life....!!!! Can’t wait to see you guys in Portland at the Crystal March 5....30 yrs wow...love y’all so much...I believe in y’all’s positive Vibe

tim is the best

Man.... I fucking love 311. And have been down since right before blue came out. They have consistently maintained my attention all while maintaining a never getting burnt out phase. I've seen them in 5 states 8 cities and been to 311 day . And my left sleeve tattoo is a 311 dedication. I've been to 100s of concerts and seen essentially every band I ever to check out, liked, loved or was nuts about. But I've never caught up with the ol'Nebraska boys. I've met so many great artist in my heavy concert days of the past and never felt "star struck"... But I would fucking love to just shake the hands of each cat 1 time and thank them for the absolute joy they bring to my life. So in the off chance any of you 5 see this. Thank you. From Corey in Illinois. P.s ...its my birthday and I think the entire neighborhood wants to jam some "Visit" with me... At 9 am (They're growing to love it)

I am not a big 3-11 fan, but this interview was fantastic. Great guys

I absolutely LOVE everything Nick&Tim said in this interview. Love 311

311 is my favorite band of all time! They’ve got everything you need in a band and a wide array of genres wrapped into one neat package album after album

Evolver is underrated, he's right

Super cool to get into the musical nitty gritties behind 311's 'sound'! Thank you! Rediscovering them after 21 year hiatus. Having KZfaq as a tool follow a band this go around is mind-blowing 🤟🏻🎸

First album I ever bought in my life was around 94/95 and it was the Grassroots album from 94. I kept it all these years. I tried playing it around 2014ish after I found it buried somewhere and it still played! 20 years after I bought it. They were the first real band I listened to along with Sublime. Love me some 311

Thanks, Guitar Center! This interview was classy and produced very well 🙌

Thanks for the memories and magic.

I loved evolver.......all of it!

If they started in the mid 80’s dub and dancehall was still a pretty new “underground” genre. So white kids from the Midwest doing it is quite impressive. And I agree with Nick that the Clash is a huge influence. Started with punk and progressed and really brought Jamaican styles to American kids where as no other band could have done that. So props with two legends giving credit where due to another legend of a band!!!

Love that all have remained from the beginning. Mosaic is killer!

I've watched this video a million times but the way miT looks around at 2:51 when he says he still likes trombone is so funny. Like he's making sure everyone heard for some reason lol And the way he says dub is great too

I love that Nick mentions rock n roll ralphs. Im from oc but hung out on weekends in hollywood on the strip in my teen years. (Late 80s early 90s) rock n roll ralphs and rock n roll dennys was big thing for musicians and Hollywood. If u partied in Hollywood u definitely went to both. Me and my friends did

My boys!! We love you 311!

This is a great interview really good advice as a musician thank you .

Influenced my life like no other. Love all u guys and Chad is a beast on drums. My favorite band of all time. Thank you for all.the good times and music. 311👍💪

Great stuff! Tim's greatful dead inspiration clearly came out in beyond the grey sky!!! That song seemed to be a perfect mesh (to me) of 311... the reggae, "dead sound", hard jam, vocal harmony, and individuals...no I didn't forget Chad who (imo) is the cornerstone! Cheers! 1991somehow I found you in Ohio

I enjoyed the video! Keep it up!

Tim is inspirational. Always.

Lmao I love how they start to laugh in the beginning cause they know they messed up a part

YES! 311 ROCKS! Perfect new album guys

That interview was dope!!!

Creating music is very courageous. Love you guys.

Evolver is one of the best records ever made. It helps me remember myself in the times I'm lead to forget.

Great interview !

3ll keep the music 🎶 and the funk going strong 💪 for the fans and the audience as well rock 🎸 those tunes are guitar solos with mellow vocals so that you can rock the stage again with an open crowd to see you guys play so be safe and careful with this virus out there and family's close to you and with time I like to see you perform very soon keep the music 🎶 flowing through you rock on 🤘

Thumbs up for "Transistor is the best"

This is my band always

beyond the grey sky def is loved

There are some niiice guitars in frame here... Pleasant scenery 🙂!

Tim's guitar is awesome....

Great original and unique band from back in the day. True musicians. Lest we forget P-Nut and he Sexton. Respect!

Discovered the 311 crew live, opening for Oingo Boingo in Seattle back in '94. I was there for Boingo, but the Nebraska boys' energy and power onstage was unmistakable. Went out the next day and picked up CD copies of Music and Grassroots, and have been preaching the gospel ever since. Permanently relocated to Europe around the same time "311 Day" was born in N'Awlins, so I've been vicariously enjoying the fun from afar these last twenty years or so. Hard to believe they're already 30 years in at the time I'm posting this homage here, having just watched the "30 Years of 311" documentary with the wife last night here on YT. Never would have guessed -- way back in '94 -- that they'd be chasing U2 for longest extant band comprised of original members. Keep up the good work, boys...

I love Tim so much.

Los amo

Mosaic freaking rocks.

My favorite band ever !!!

I've actually spent a lot of time with 311 interviews, they're way back in my world these days. I feel like this is one of the better interviews I've seen, maybe because the questions are different. In a lot of the spots, it seems like Nick gets a lot of the attention. In this, it seemed like he let off the reigns a bit. Perhaps it was because they had guitars in their hand, or maybe it was the interviewer, but this seemed like a really natural conversation. Appreciated this GC!!!!!!

"Pretty close!"

The Clash, NOFX, Jim Croce, Grateful Dead. It all makes sense now

Here celebrating their 32nd year together!

I guess I hadn't realized what a guitar player Nick Hexum is. He knows his shit.

PRS makes one gorgeous instrument. Wow.

First interview I've watched of these two... I just care about the music the four of them make when they get together. BUT,... since i did watch this one, look at Tim just before the 20 minute marker. That's the look of ideas. What a great band. 311 Rocks!!! Mostly Red but White & Blue Too!

If I was ever to get a good 6 string, I'd love a copy of Tim's PRS. That Koa top is killer! Please come to Canada!!!

Tighten for the tour from the recording sessions..........,,

good stuff!!!!

Melhor banda do Mundo urrra 311 forever

tim has got some city miles on him

Steve Buscemi is so talented, damn

Evolver is def underrated. Its pretty solid from start to finish.

what a band.

Grassroots and the blue album are legendary!

They’re all such lovely men.

Shout out to the Urge!!

Mahoney is the Malcolm Young of 311💯

The urge. Love them. St. Louis own

Ugh I used to have a nasty crush on Nick Hexum!!!Saw him twice in Pensacola fl!😍

That Gibby 335 is super nice. I want one of those and not some crappy re-issue.

Love 311!! Tim was so stoned he was fubbing everything and had that shit eating grin the whole interview lol

Rock Hall Inductees 2022, make it happen Jann.

“What’s your favorite guitarist under 30 out there right now.” (Crickets). Had to chuckle at that response:). not to diss on the younger generation, but it’s pretty clear that Nick and Tim aren’t really finding a lot of new guitar-driven music out there that is knocking their socks off.

Tim wore bad braains t shirt aat hampton beech concert!!!

you could tell they didn’t want to stop at the end of Too Late

Beautiful disaster is the jam

nick is not ok, and still a consummate gentleman! class act.

Tim’s face at 0:28 🤣

I wonder why Hexum doesn’t have a PRS sponsorship. Tim has been their OG ambassador for decades.

Big agree on Evolver being underrated.

Played wild fire at the beginning

You know, Chad has written a big chunk of their songs too. Stuff you wouldn’t guess. Seems like people like to gloss over that.

All mixed up off of down is being played by my band the big happy🔥

When Tim gets that low head not and you can't see his face but his hair is moving, you know he's hit the frickin zone.
