The song for me that started me on the 311 ride. Heard this in the radio waaaay back in the day. Went to the CD store(remember those) right after work and picked it up. My wife was like, what is this? Lol. Now she loves em as much as I do. 50 years old now and still digging them, we have been to about 15 shows, including 311 day 2010. We got to meet them in Atlantic City a while back, they were very cool and fun. I told them how this song was why I started listening to them and they opened the show with it for me lol

No shit -- I am in this video. Summer of '94. Just graduated high school. I had eaten many a brownie and smoken all of the pots, but I remember this vividly. This is the outdoor venue at ye 'ol Masquerade (back when it was on North Ave). Other tunes that stick in my memory from this show include Visit and Summer of Love. Offbeat was dope too. Nick explained that they were 'bout to film a video. Don't remember if he said it was for Homebrew or not. He encouraged us to rock. We obliged. You can see me @0:10. I'm the dude with red eyes to the (on screen) right. There I am again @0:31.

I would put this in my top 5 311 songs of all time.

I was 19, I'd do anything!!!! Damn the memories!!!! Fuck man! I'm 36 now but jammed this on my Sony Walkman CD player with bass boost and anti-skip! Kids now days will never know the excitement of anti- skip portable CD players shit was a major game changer!!! I was 14 years old, getting stoned for the first times, just got my first drum set. Life was good.

This is my favorite 311 sound. Nick and SA's rap = magic.

I remember being 16 and downloading the tabs for this song from my schools library and racing home to learn how to play it. I think easily 311's best song. Love Pnut's bass, Nick's vocals, S.A's rap, Tim's thick guitar and of course Chad's flawless drumming. Supremely underrated band!

SA Martines is one of my all time favorite rappers, an absolute throw down!

You know that feeling you get when you listen to this song? Yeah THAT feeling? I haven't felt it in a while. Figure I had used up all the feels. For whatever reason I played this video. ALL THE FEELS came back. Thank you 311. And thank you Life. Here's to more moments that feel like this.

Shit like this brings me back to when I used to watch Mtv as a kid and they still played music. Good music at that.

When the second verse kicked in, that dude never really looked so fly until that vid. He looked fly for 1994 man. Fly. Keep flying

Fun fact: this is actually the best 311 song, new study finds.

Bobby - You be quiet out there

ABSOLUTLEY one of their best albums

19, tripping on acid, no hangovers, unlimited energy, no real clue how truly fucked up the world is yet...those were the days

I hear this every 4th of July

this grassroots album was so fucking amazing

Grassroots is such an underrated album. This song is absolutely amazing, so is the album

Song goes hard. 311 did this genre better than all the others that came after them

STRANGE STORY.... I lived in California in the late 90's and early 2000's. I loved listening to 311, but didn't know the name of the band. In 2004, I moved back to Dallas, and never heard 311 on the radio again. About two months ago, I listened on line to 91X in San Diego, and they played the song "Amber". I remembered liking the song, and wondered if the band had any more good songs. SURPRISE...THEY HAD 10 SONG I LOVED. Since then, I can't stop listening to them...DO THEY HAVE ROCK & ROLL REHAB....?

15 yo 311 fan here. have been for 2 years now and I love this song and every other song by them lol. Found amber on my recommendation songs and fell in love from there

The guitar on this is my top 3, 311 riffs ever!

This is the song that got me into 311. I remember first hearing it on one of those radio shows that showcased cool new music, which usually came on late Sunday Night.

120 Minutes on MTV.......Teenager....90's baby........The LAST time for good music, and good times.

These guys are severely underrated

One of the best bands ever

11 years old and love you guys

I wish they would have shot music videos for Lucky, 8:16 A.M., Omaha Stylee, Taiyed and 1, 2, 3

311 Rocks!

In the mid-'90s, grunge was already starting to fade and "hybrid" rock music was starting to catch on. 311 and Sublime were the big ones, fusing rock with rap, reggae, punk, funk, and just about anything else. We all know what sadly became of Sublime, and we all know what became of every other band that jumped on that wagon. I have trouble naming a single band. 311, however, is truly a survival story. They outlasted the trend, and even if they're not as big as they were in 1996, they're still going, still selling albums, still selling out concerts. The same 5 dudes. The same positive outlook and adventurous musical philosophy. They outlasted the trend because they were never really a part of it. They were 311, their own thing, no more, no less. And that's what they still are. God, I love this band and everything they stand for. They deserve much more recognition for what they've been able to do in an industry that has completely changed in front of their eyes. Long live 311. May they reach the ears of billions.

Man. I absolutely LIVED this song in my early 20’s. Jammed it. Lived it. Enjoy the memories, despite them being a little hazy

I've listened to this band since the early days. I really miss their old sound.

Oldie but a goodie!

LOL'd at 2:01 ... 😂. . and they just kept JAMM'n on !! 😄

This song definitely defined mid-90's for us, 19 years old at the time and 311 said it well.

311 are truly legends tho & one of my favorites music bands of all time 🤟🏾😉

This is my absolute favorite 311 song. And album probably

My homeboyz!! Chad! Nick! Madison Wisconsin Represent!!!!!!

It wasn't 4th of July but I also first tried acid at 19, and I also first heard this song around that same time. listening to this song always helps me think back on that pivotal time.

The day when music was worth listening.

I listen to 311 and I always wanna flicker flatter flutter

Jamming this in traffic after a fawked up day at work...July 16 2019 🤘🏼

1:11...such positive vibes from this. Love 311 forever. Investigate em, you'll be better for it, hahaha!

Been with 311 since I was 10 in 4th grade saw my first show ..20 years later these guts are a huge part of my lufe and I regret nothing... they been with me in this universe and many others , third eye is the prize

Grassroots is a great album. Love this song so much.

I was there when they filmed the crowd scenes in Atlanta for this video. Played the song twice thru. It still sounds too short when I hear it regular style.

This french Canadian music channel MusiquePlus had this show called 1x5 where they would play 5 videos from a band. I was DEEP into blue, waiting on Transistor and thought they were a brand new band, and then I was watching TV and I saw the ad for 1x5 coming up that week featuring 311 and I was like WHAT THE FUCK. I thought they had two songs out and that was it. Programmed the VCR and taped the show : 1. Homebrew 2. Don't Stay Home 3. Down 4. All mixed up 5. Transistor I was probably expecting to see the show open with Down and then a bunch of Blue album videos I missed and something off the upcoming album I suppose? But then this fucking riff comes on and this shirtless dude is putting on a record and the band is fucking murdering this crowd and Chad is all over the kit and and Uncle Sam is doing acid and this crazy dude climbs up on stage and falls on his ass and HOLY SHIT THIS RIFFFF. I heard Homebrew and Transistor for the first time in my life on that fucking show and probably passed out honestly. I wore through that tape and I'm sure I still remember their god damn middle names from that show. Let's see if I smoked too much pot between then and now Nick Charlton Hexum Aaron Charles Wills Tim Jerome Mahoney Doug Vincent Martinez Chad Ronald Sexton. Seems about right. Homebrew means a fuckton to me. I needed this album immediately. Show up at the record store few months later and they had it, along with Music, which again I had never even HEARD about. I spent my whole high school jacked up on 311.

Legends 311 go hard forever man

Best opening song for a 311 show

The only song I play more than the rest on this album 😀😀😀

Happy 311 Day!

Fourth of July, with Lucy in Sky. I remember pine trees and the coat of many colors. I had a similar experience, it all tied together. This life is a trip.

This was the first song I ever heard from 311 on WZRH 106.1 The Zephyr out of Slidell, La. back in 1997. I'd ask people about 311 and they'd say "Who?" Hahahaha!

Oh how I wish I could have seen them at the Masquerade when they taped this. Now, the Masquerade will be torn down soon. Saw many incredible shows there.

This song is so underrated

Reminds me of living in "Ocean Beach" San Diego California in my 20's The Tilted Stick bar always played this song and I loved it.

I remember hearing this song in an old snowboard movie (Odd Man Out) in 1995 that started my love for 311 Miss the 90s!

this is my theme for the 4th of july

Lucy in the sky

When fucken music was REAL MUSIC !!! GOD THIS SONG IS GREAT

Happy 311 day!

grassroots is my favorite 311 album, man but this song slaps

I was just talking about this album with a old friend from skool hell yea

This song makes me happy

This takes me back.

Love you guys P-Nut, Chad, and the whole crew - that outro harmonic progression is amazing - love it!

Every 4th of July I must listen to this

this guys guitar distortion is legendary

Caught you guys at Dane County Coliseum in '95 with Pharcyde and Cypress Hill. It'd be a cherished memory, if I could remember it... 😎🌱🃏

Never get's old. Thank you 311!

3eleveeennnn

This song gives me the urge to vigorously punch and kick the air.

Wicked good song

This could be their heaviest song!

Happy 4th of July Happy Independents Day 2022🇺🇸🗽🎼✴🎆🎇

Still Count SA in 2019 Still Rockin' after 29 years. Thank you 1LOVE Be sure, a discouraging word will be heard It doesn’t matter what they will say The naysayers will do what they do But to thine own self be true

Love 311 Homebrew long-time! Much respect from South Australia!! #Grassroots

Who still rocking this in 2017? This guy is!!!

...I was 19...I'd do anything...shit like that now scares me but I'd like to do it again!

Puro vato loco......

I just had a crazy-ass realization...IF 311 was just now coming out and they had the shit we have now for production, they would have made some fucking even more amazing shit.....

311's best album. Change my mind

I always wondered what a collab between them and beastie boys would of been like in the early 90's

The best

just listened to grass roots for the first time in like 10 years, taking a walk around the neighborhood with my german shepherd; the album cranked on my bluetooth speaker. she had the biggest doggy grin i'd ever seen, and in between songs hear ears shot up and she would look at me like "wtf why did it stop. MOAR MOAR" or even "you have this, but you always play joy division or aphex twin, what's wrong with you?!" lol calm down there, Heike, ;)

happy 4 th 311hive!!!!

Happy 4th of July!!!

timeless...love love love this shit

Still rocking this in 2020!

im stoned atm and i dig this!

I'm not from Omaha or Cali but it lives on

311 DAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've always thought this song was about dropping acid on the 4th. This entire album helped shape my teenage years, LSD gave my critical thinking skills well before college.
