![]() Tribute To 311 Three Eleven... Created with a mindstate unknown to most men Nick Hexum declared the god of the pen.. To script a song so powerful in a divine blend How many men you know can tip a word on end And pour out it's meaning and cause it's effect to ascend And then, Mr. Martinez, as he steps to the mic Sparks a touch to ignite energy leaving minds in a psyche Because he 'wants to be free' and he 'wants to do right' Yet he still holds the talent to cause words unified As Tim Mahoney picks up his music-making tool Master of manipulation spinning notes like a whirlpool With many advances of solos that cause trances Releasing hypnotizing melodys to make Hendrix look like a fool Chad Sexton sits relaxed hovering over his set Innovating beats themself to be heard from US to Tibet Whenever I get upset I just drop down to Applied Science To calm my nerves I set the mood to Sexton and give him my reliance True, last but never forgotten is my man Aaron Wills Dropping basslines like bombs giving my spine a case of chills The 311 sound could and would never be as enlightening Without having the infamous words spoken of 'P-Nut beat that thing!' Anyway, 311, I would like to thank you Nick, P-Nut, Tim, Aaron, SA and the rest of the crew As I say this I believe I speak for your entire fan base Thanks for makin music, stayin positive and true. - by HiveFox@aol.com E-Mail: HiveFox@aol.com Logic The beats overwhelm me as my heart begins to ache, The soothing rigid sounds of the music begin to make me shake, The words that come from one's mouth, the words that are spoken, Are the words from one's mind, words that will never be broken, The logic of this feeling that overpowers peoples mind's and souls, Makes us convulse in a way that has no control, The heavy words that I take in release all tension that surrounds me, And it captures my heart that shatters all hate that I may see, If only I could feel this power all moments, only if I could hear it, May all that hear those lyrics openly listen to this, The deepness of the music has a dizzying effect in my eyes, Is the effect that will bring one more mind to be stabilized, I shutter when I hear the harmony that breaks fear, The heaviness of their words bring me near... They open their minds to us to show us the logic of what we call life, So that we can push back that life given strife. - by Bethany Lee Saint-Smith '00' E-Mail: QnBass01@aol.com Untitled I see you play up on stage you're a stanger flower still breakin loose from the cage of decency your music flows right through me you glance down where I stand as I rock out to the sounds of your band I crumble in your sight then your radiant eyes leave me paralyzed as you approach I can not speak lost for words lookin like a geek but you are so profound how can I compete yet those eyes of yours draw me close leave me under your spell lost for words total mind control long time since I've felt like that you are the 'monkey on my back' my stoney mahoney drawing me closer still noddin your head closin your eyes ya left me mesmerized - by Sarabeth Jogodka E-Mail: tylersragdoll13@yahoo.com Rhythmic Evolution the drum your drum your drum is your drums are a heartbeat the heartbeat a million heartbeats beating together, one organism in celebration thank you thank you for thank you for driving my soul peace, ~Aurora )O( E-Mail: wicca311@gurlmail.com The Dream I turn the cd on blast groove myself to the past when i dreamed of beatin a bass like pnut but now i can what has changed? nothing i guess i still breath sleep and eat 311 the beat still gets my head noddin the bass still makes me think that dream the dream of a younger me being Pnut - by PAt E-Mail: a311mix@aol.com An Ode To The Best From the moment the melodies hit my ears, I knew that this was love. The funky guitar and the screamin bass played magically, As if God had sent them to me from above. The super phat beats from the drumset were played, While the talented voices left everyone in shock. This incredible music hypnotized us all, And soon all of their albums were sold out of stock. Addicting music was heard all over the world, We worshipped Sexton, Martinez, Hexum, Mahoney and Wills. Their tunes were so amazing, Every fan listened to them and got chills. And still today, 311 is going strong, Nothing can stop them now. Positivity, Unity, and love is their style. Nick, SA, Pnut, Tim, and Chad, Stand up and take your bow... I Love You 311, Amanda Hiatt E-Mail: LvnSlinky4311@aol.com |
