311 - Independence Day Lyrics

How come Doug's flow is censored?!?!?!

1994, not '96.

Ranch Bowl. Sokol Auditorium. Westfair Amphitheater. Omaha Nebraska. All. Fucking. Day. Seen them play lots of killer shows since I was a teenager in the mid 1990s. Been a few years, but I used to catch them, about everytime they made it bk to Omaha.

For a long time I thought Nick said "Chocolate chip Cannoli up your ass!" at 0:30

Investigate 311

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

This is before 311 turned to a cheesy festival rock band. They'd be so much more respected if they stayed like this.

The day when music was worth listening.

Anyone notice the edit at 1:29? I always wondered if I heard that line correctly..apparently I did!

These guys are severely underrated

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...
😎🌱🃏

Same bro. 311 and Pharcyde, drove from college in Nashville up to Indy to see them. Strange city, different vibe than normal, venue seemed bizarre. Perhaps something got into my lungs. 🤣 No matter. Once the music dropped it was EPIC. Almost 25 years ago. Unreal...

God I miss those times, doing dumb shit like driving 6 hours each way to see a concert...because you could. Cheers man, thanks for the recall. I barely remember Jack Schitt about the show, but I KNOW it was bad ass. They always were...

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.....

Classic

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

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

Happy 4th.

happy independence day!

Happy 4th everyone

Happy 4th of July in '19!!!

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.

"In the end, revenge sends ends to the defendant"
(I know that statement's true, I wear it like a pendant)

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

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

I'm biologically old enough to father anyone after 94' when this came out when I was in high school!😜 sorry kids..you could be my bastard👍 songs about tripping by the way!!!!

Investigate 311

Independence Day

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

My due date for my First Bby is

3/11

😍🤗

i love what the song i about to me, as this came out we were skating in 5th and 6th grade, but we also started experimenting with mary jane more, and rst time i did a gel tab, and felt like i broke through to another side, & yes, it changed my le for the better, we knew , and there was no puttin that back in the box, it kept me from getting hooked on deadly shit, but learning about tachyon energy and all kinds o esoteric knowledge as we saw geometric patterns coming of every thing and the sun was just surrounded by a rainbow, i still do psychedelics when he chances arses and i have had no flashbacks or all the negative bs you here, it eye opening and leads you to realise certain truths, good times, and a great song

This song is so underrated

311 for life!!!

Only for the excitable ones

wonder how much the orlando show will be, last time they had a festival in northern ish fl where my Cherokee side of family lives , and it was crazy expensive, wanted to go t the cap grounds as it was less than 30 mins from where my cherokee uncles aunts and cousins are. cousin is bit of a green finger as he has some sweet hydroponics , shrooms grown from spore prints that are crazy fun, as well as peyote cacti, would have been a good time, even though he dont sell its all for the tribe, taught me how to use spore prints and brown rice, then take that and put it with vermiculite and tasteless yet a super strong patch grows, and as long as you tap b4 you pick yo dot have to start from scratch, actually more grow with each batch and they seem stronger by the third batch , lol, good times i should start again but need funding especially fo the spores from peru, probably grow the most potent i've ever had, its actually stronger but like really good lucy, yet much stronger experience.

timeless...love love love this shit

One of the best bands ever

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

2008 i Took Acid!
I was 18 i went insane and now im 28 and ive seriously have never been the same!
I love this Band Nothing but The P.M.A!
Samsara!!!

Lucy in the sky

I would say to the current generation, "Listen and learn," but I know I always hated it when people would say something like that to me back in the day. Anyway, First 3 311 albums are unrivaled in this genre.

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

Happy belated Independence Day, USA!

screw usa! just celebrate the blessing we have that is the band 311

Drake krome  Amen.

Happy 07/04/18

Legends 311 go hard forever man

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!

The end of this song sounds like Level 42! You have to give 311 credit! They carved out a place in the musical landscape, and been standing there for quite sometime.

obsessed on ending song same eeeeeeeeeee

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

Sucks ass

go listen to country and jerk off about how a guy lost his dog

im obsesed on ending vocal eeeeeeeee..........

These Guys!!!

uncle sam pullin some bitches

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

REVISITED

you spelled 2019 wrong

I'm rockin this today!

2020!!! Seen them SEVERAL times since I first saw them Live, as a teen in the mid 90s. And I'm from Omaha Nebraska.

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

Puro vato loco......

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.

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

missmellymac top 1 for me, easily

One of their best live too 🙌

One of the top songs of the 90’s for sure

It was also arguably their best album. Subjective—probably between this and Music.

homebrew rules

Lucy on the 4th of july

happy 4 th 311hive!!!!

this is my theme for the 4th of july

I can't believe this song is over 20 years old.

this grassroots album was so fucking amazing

That entire album was perfect; it was my first introduction to 311.

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

I can't like...that would make me 312.

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

This song is about a fucked up trip with a happy ending

felt this shit

Happy 4/20 y'all lol

happy 420 2u2

HOW ABOUT T-11

still my favorite song

I just wanted to homebrew my 3DS...

Why was this taken down then reuploaded?

lsd is heka of a drug

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

Why was this song removed in the first place??

A música deles é mó brisa. Foda pra caralhuuuu

Who needs Independence Day on July 4th, when we have Canada Day on July 1st?

I usually suck moose cock, and in Canada, their sperm also contains maple syrup. Two birds, one stone!

Because we landed on the moon, and your country didn't!

Song's about dropping lsd, it's not really about a holiday

311 💪💪

311 Rocks!

11 years old and love you guys

Number 1 311 fan s p e c i a l s n o w f l a k e

Classic

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.

Was there. One of the highlights of my young life. I'm right *there* to the right of the pit.

Homebrewed boner

I have such a raging clue right now! Anbody wanna follow my clue?

The Hardly Boys lmfao

Are you about to shoot your clue goo

Oldie but a goodie!
