Yeah, Hoobastank were gooooood. I went and bought their album after that, it's very cool.

Erm...an introduction? Well, my name's Sarah, I'm 16 - from the UK. I'm a relatively new OLP fan, but I've got all the albums (minus Gravity, I'm still trying to decide what to do about that one). I've just finished school (:mrgreen:) and am starting college in September.

Yeah, so hi :)

Every 311 cd kicks ass....

The fact that they brought Shaq into a video.....kicks ass.

I hate on people that think "Come Original" was a terrible song.

uh. that song has the lamest lyrics ever.

what's original about bragging about your skills? nothing. 311 should take their own advice.

they are talented, no doubt, but i just found it ironic that here they are, singing about how people need to make more original music as they shamelessly indulge in the most tired rap cliche in the book; mentioning your friends and talking about how good you are.

you have to admit, that is ironic.

O.o I think IM in love with you.

311 is the shit. they kick ass live. I saw them on 311 day and they played for over four hours and they rocked.


ps. Incubus is played out music. Hoob is just incubus lite. I still have all the incubus cds (too cheep to buy hoob) but seriously incubus is seriously unoriginal too. No band is really 'original' its all been done before. Dont get me wrong I used to love incubus. But If I hear nice to nkow you on the radio again I will kill myself. Though the same goes for amber.

I wasn't as thrilled with 311's last two cds as I was the first bunch. lol I have so many I lost count. o.O. I like music and grassroots more than I like the newer stuff. I cant wait for the new cd. :)

Don't love me yet.....I can piss people off rather easily! haha....but hi, I'm Neil. I hear ya about Incubus, I was actually a hard fan of them until shortly after the release of "Morning View". "Wish You Were Here" was definitely played out, in my view. I was gonna go see them last summer but I sold the tickets I had, on ebay, and went to see OLP in State College, PA instead.

oh yeah so can I. Especially since I will defend some bands that aren't appreciated here to the death. *points to here title and below* That makes some people testy.


and its good you sold your tickets. :) OLP is better than incubus and more fun to watch;-)

I havent been to an olp show since..before my birthday.. >.< Im having with drawl. I know nothing about whats going on with them either cos I dont go to the cc anymore. >.< I didnt know about the new cd till yesterday..lol

Between Ash and OLP in Toledo last July, Bethany and I had to listen to the freaking From Chaos album all the way through at least two times (because there were some technical difficulties and we had to wait about 2 hours). Ugh. I do like Soundsystem, however - that's a good disc, as are some of their older singles.

Damn....I don't think I could take THAT much 311, especially in one session. That sucks balls.

You missed a great show. Although OLP is very good live, I don't think they're better than Incubus. They're amazing live.
Don't say we're healing when it's just not what we do...
