Good to know they are gonna follow through with the break. I can't wait to see what comes from them in the future.

there you go bitch boys, nick thought the album sucked too, stop putting all the blame on him

"I wouldn't feel satisfied if our next album can be so closely compared to our last one."

the only dissapointing thing to hear from this interview is

"I've been doing some jazz standards but also some rock and pop things,"

WHY does nick do all the interviews. ... eff. he just makes all the guys look stupid.

I don't think I can wait for another 311 album for too long. The break will defiently be a great thing, that's for sure.

And I think Hexum has a trademark on the word "Eclectic"

OR, he thinks that the album wasnt as good as their other albums and he thinks they can do better MUSICALLY not FINANCIALLY

no .. he's just changing his tune now. ... don't you remember how he was BEFORE the album flopped? "We're really proud of it .. blahblahblh . it's very edlectic. jibber jibber. good stuff. blibbityblee. "

yeah i guess a break could be good..but god it seems impossible to wait for another album everytime the last one gets a little old and played out...i hate waiting so much and not even having a tentative release date (which would get pushed back anyway)...waiting for these things is so tedious and horrible lol..not that there's anything we can do about it

Just a restatement of what we already knew. Just out of Nicks mouth instead of Pnuts

atl east we know who's fault it would be if the band broke up.

Maybe the other 4 guys should make an album without him, using guest front men.

Yeah look how good continuous life is...no nick vocals..such a good song. They could pull a lot off without him (even though I'd honestly rather have the band how it is now).

In fact, i was listening to C.L. today and couldn't stop imagining what it could be like if that song was released as a single for some reason. I bet ppl would pick it up quick and like it and it would become popular for its sound. I can picture a video for it too if just like S.A. singing in some cool looking place or something. It would be on TRL and shit haha. If only 311 gained that kind of popularity with obscure songs like that..since 98 percent of their shit is good obscure songs...

Nick is as much of a key part of the band as anyone else.

Pearce · Post by **Pearce** » Fri Aug 04, 2006 1:18 am

i don't think nick should be kicked out of the band. yes...i think he is a douchebag now...he didn't always used to be like this. he didnt get all wrapped up in his words. He was so chill and laid back and now music is more business than music to him...or so it seems. i don't like how they call him the frontman. i hate that word. "front man". pretty much why i hate singers in general, besides a select few. But they give off the impression that they own the band.

"I think we need to step back and I need to talk to the guys and we need to think about that for awhile."

he fucked up big time...and he knows it. i sensed a sort of hostility the last 6 times i saw them since dtom was released. They're stage presence shows it...there is no aknowledgement between the guys. i THink what he's sayin there is that he needs to apologize to them for bein such a cunt. i think nick was the heart and soul of 311...

a lot of time, when ppl thought of 311, they thought of a tall skinny white dude with blonde hair rapping. and they dug it...now this pop? i just don't understand. i hope that they...cuz its not just nick that's starstruck...but i hope that they come to their senses during the break about what they are doing.

it's not about the money. yes it helps if it pays the bills, but it is a priveledge to send a message of positivity to the WORLD through music that you wrote. not about billboards or album sales...but the live shows, thats where it counts...and thank god they are able to still sell out a show, because people find hope at these shows of being part of a rock show man.
fuckin when will the pop shit discontinue?!
