I've been a touring musician before. I can speak to how mind-numbing it can be to play the same music over and over. These guys have been doing these songs for decades. You don't do that unless you really, REALLY love your fans. They've already made their millions. They've already got their fame. They have nothing to prove anymore. The only thing I can see that keeps them going is just straight up love for one of the most loyal fanbases in the business. That's pretty admirable.

Pnut was the reason I started playing bass after hearing “What Was I Thinking?”. Every band member has a unique and special style, that when combined, forms phenomenal music. One of the most underrated bands of all time. 38 years old now and still my favorite band!! Nothing like “Running” 2 miles with 311 in my ears!!! 🏃🏻 🎸 🎶

Hearing this makes my heart happy 🤘🏽

P Nut is one of the reasons i started playing bass in the late 90s. Glad these guys have stayed together for 36 years. Nick and Tim havent changed their hair styles in at least 20 years

Dude same, I remember hearing the blue album in my friends basement when I was about 12 and was like "i think i want to try playing bass". Still playing guitar regularly to this day.

What a trip! 311 sounds amazing and they still got it. I'm grateful everyday for being a 90's teen because we had a wealth of awesome music.

I was a little kid in that era, my siblings were teens - they listened to this stuff, I would be cimbing trees and playing in the woods all day, and rollerblading with my friends, playing SNES.... and I would go on little trips to the store or to drive around with my brother and sister, and they would be listening to this stuff -- RHCP, Sublime, 311, RATM.... you name it, all the hallmarks.... sevendust, etc.... leaves an indelible impression, such fond childhood memories and nostalgia - the 90s 😎🎮📺

God I love this band so much. Just good music, good lyrics and good feels. Makes me want to cry almost, I wish everything felt this good.

My life as a teenager in one video... Thanks, Tiny Desk!

What makes 311 so special is that each of their songs have a unique sound. Very happy they played on tiny desk. Thank you NPR🙏🏽

They killed at ALL. But I love that song too.

Takes me back...Pop open that CD from the case, opening the walkman, starting the lawn mower, let it ride.

311 is literally one of the bands that sound EXACTLY like the radio. I had the chance to see them in Las Vegas in 2018. All my life, I’ve always heard them on the radio. Dude they sound so perfect

This band inspired me to take up the bass guitar almost 25? years ago. Still playing guitar regularly. Thanks, guys

Never heard of these guys . There not even in my radar of what I gravitate too and I couldn’t turn away from these grooves . These guys made me start a whole new category folder of what I like , lol Real talk .. And I’m fucken 60 years old ( no easy feat ) and these MF’s turned me out lol 😆 New fan !!!! ❤

311 has grass roots!

I got into this band in the past 2 years…I just love how uplifting and positive a lot of their music is. I saw them at Red rocks and they’re great performers, and also talented musicians.

As a soul songwriter and muzik Producer myself, Nick Hexum taught me as a lifelong musician, one must remain teachable and expand their arsenal of skills! I love 311! Still keepin' it tight 🔥🔥🔥🤟🏼😁💖🎶🎸🥁

In late 2009 our first son was born and as my wife lay asleep in the hospital bed after ten hours of labor, they wheeled our new son in and he began to cry. As a new father not knowing what to do, I used my iPhone to play 311 Amber very softly in his crib as I struggled to change his diaper. I am 100% certain that moment set the tone for his life. He's chill, impossibly cool, creative, easy going, and everything you'd expect a kid to be who's first song ever was Amber. Fun update: When he was maybe 8 or 9, we were riding in the car and this song came on. He instantly connected with it and said "Dad, I really like this song" as if he'd heard it before. Thank you 311, it's a part of his DNA~

I love this. My youngest was born in 2018 and the son in the or as I had my c section was hey there Delilah. His first time watching/listening to a song was the strokes you only live once the day we brought him home from the hospital. Little dude is so into music, been singing along since before he could speak. Named after Layne Staley so it’s very fitting.

8:32 Amber, last week we took our High School Senior daughter to visit some Colleges, ended up at Huntington Beach. When leaving the beach around 6:00pm, a couple of teens were goin up the same stairs as us, and they were playing this song from their Bluetooth speaker. Perfect ending to our Beach day man.

Memories just rushing back. Tiny desk has been on point. I remember listening to NPR when I was younger and being called a dork or whatever and now it comes full circle.

Looking back, the number of great bands from the early 90's is bonkers.

Been listening since ‘95. Saw them live in ‘97 at UNF and again in a tiny club in Jacksonville, FL ‘98 with Jimmy’s Chicken Shack. Love them, but someone on here said Nick looks like Abe Lincoln and now I can’t unsee it.
