Finger Eleven Thread

Post by olpcc »

I know that we have a few finger eleven fans at the cm so i figure it was about time we had a thread for them... feel free to talk about the band or post any news you have on them or just spam like usual

finger vision is up at fingereleven.com but unfortunately it doesn't work on my computer :(

About time....
I like F11, but I wasn't too happy with GOBS. I like it, but I just loved Tip so much.

Anyone who hasn't heard of htem should definately check htem out. Scott's voice is amazing.

I saw them live once and met them. Nice guys. Vert intelligent.
They loved my home made F11 shirt. I can't wait for the new album and to see them again.

:nod:

Loooooooooooooooooooooooooove Finger Eleven. HEHEH.

Uhh...Yeah, I have both their albums and a couple of their videos on tape. Last summer, when we were going to go pick up my brother's girlfriend (we were sposed to an OLP concert that day but it got postponed), we got stuck in traffic and my brother put on FF11...As soon as I got home I downloaded Stay and Drown and Broken Words and got the CDs later, and I still really like FF11. Heh

i always found it interesting that both olp and finger eleven were produced by arnold lanni(until bob) and they where 2 of my favorite bands.

Tip is my favorite album... but GOBS is also really great.

I like finger 11 as well. Nothing besides OLP gets better than cruising down the road, blaring First Time, and singing at the top of my lungs.

I love Finger Eleven too, but who ever said TIP is the best, they are right. GOBS is good, but nothing compared to TIP.

I dunno, I enjoy GOBS more than I enjoy Tip. I just never really could get into Tip, but I fell face-first into GOBS and haven't gotten myself out yet. Maybe it's "Stay And Drown"... yeah, it's probably that.

GOBS was the first F11 album I listened to, so I like it a bit more. Stay & Drown is definitly kick ass.

I don't own any Finger Eleven albums, however, I do have a lot of their songs on my computer. I used to REALLY be into them, but now they're kinda "last year music" to me... But they're not bad, I just need to get back into them again I guess.

I love Finger Eleven. I've seen them twice, met them all. They are really nice guys and fun to see live.

I can't wait for their new cd.......I wish Fingervision worked for me though :cry:

Finger eleven is definitly one of my very favourite bands

here's something a few of you may not have known, go check out the RAINBOW BUTT MONKEYS album "letters to chutney" or is it letters from? i never remember that

anyway before F11 CHANGED their name to F11 they were the RAINBOW BUTT MONKEYS believe it or not
i know some of you are saying "this chap is mad!" or "Rainbow butt monkeys?! how absurd!" but seriously that was their name before F11

lando and I bought the album a while back, i havn't listened to it in a while but i suggest listening to it if your a F11 fan

These guys put on an amazing live show. If they are ever in your town, i'd suggest you check them out. I'd venture to say that their live show is just as good as OLP's!

Tip was a great album, The Greyest of Blue Skies was pretty awsome too.

Does anybody know if their workin with Arnold Lanni again?
