Some confusion here. At the end of the video I refer to the song “you wouldn’t believe” being the biggest hit off the album and I was referring to alternative charts which it charted higher than amber. But amber did almost land on the hot 100 charts. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/311_discography
Look into the Beautiful Disaster and how it all went Down. The facts are All Messed Up but I'll Be Here a While if you want the scoop but I think someone spilled a Homebrew in the Transistor.
😳💭 If Shaq busted his mouth on somebody's head.. Can you imagine the damage to whoever's head that was?? I bet they still have a goose egg to this day😂
I remember thinking 311 was cheesy when 'Down' was released(mostly because of SA/the rapping parts). That completely changed when I listened to their follow up album, 'Transistor'. Completely blew me away and I still think it's their strongest work to date.
When I first saw this, I was like "No, he wouldn't do that seriously." I remember seeing the full performance at the KROQ event when I got the ETSD 2 dvd and remember he was in the video for "You Wouldn't Believe," so I damn sure would have heard about something serious going on between him and the band. Also, after being a fan for nearly 30 years, I am finally gonna see them on Aug. 10 with my wife. I will be honest and admit I haven't kept up with their past two or three albums as closely as I used to. I hope they play a long set with a lot of career-spanning hits and deep cuts.
What i don't understand is why shaq woukd do this to them. Shaq and 3qq have been friends for a long time in fact they even made a song and sahq was rapping on it. So I guess I'm just confused if he needed money or if they had an argument or falling out. I hope not cause I love 311 and shaq is a cool dude imo so hope they resolved the issue
Man, you can really tell the age difference in the comments with post-grunge bands. Underrated?!? A few years earlier and these dudes wouldn't have even been signed.
Wait, you're saying "You Wouldn't Believe," which only charted in thr Alternative charts, was more successful than "Amber," which hit the bubbling under 100, modern rock, AND Adult Top 40 charts?
I love 311. I like all their albums. although i tbink voyager is a way stronger record than mosaic. But music,self titled and transistor are still the jewels of the discography.
I am an absolutely huge Shaq fan. 311 was alright to me but not really a fan per se. I followed Shaq his whole career even till now, but I have never heard of this! That's really cool to hear a new fact I didnt know from so long. ago.
The band's name was chosen by P-Nut from the police code for indecent exposure in Omaha after a friend of the band was arrested and cited for skinny dipping in a public pool.

Imagine being in the crowd and Shaq stage dives at you lol
Ouch!!!
Ha! That's a hell of a visual to imagine 😅
@@joshuayettou9032😂😂
Best bet would be to just move out of the way 😂
Nope, I'm sidestepping lol.
311 is definitely one of top 5 favorite alternative bands of all time in my mind.
311 is one of the most underrated bands ever.
And there it is, the inevitable underrated comment. You must have not been around in the 90’s and early 2000’s.
@@actionjacksondan lol
@actionjacksondan for real, this band was so over played, it's not funny.
311 blew up the scene with their sophomore release "GrassRoots", it is still one of my all time favorite records front to back.
Grassroots is definitely stronger than Music or The Blue album. Transistor is my personal favorite.
Soundsystem is my favorite! Eons is a great song!
@@TheNothing6 Soundsystem is a really great album. One of their best for sure.
Exactly. So many bangers! 8:16 am is still one of my favorites!
Totally. I thought “grassroots” and “music” were way better than their 3rd self titled album.
man i felt like i got baited
Shaq being genuinely mad at you would be pretty scary.
Just challenge him in a free throw match and he'll go away.
311 is criminally underrated
Totally agree
Their studio albums aren't great but they are a really good live band
Completely agree!
People throw that word around a lot, but this time, absolutely 100% correct.
@@SlappySlipperton that is always cool when a band sticks together.
R.I.P. Kobe
Holy shit... somehow I never heard about this until now.
Investigate 311
311 never happened 😮
Look into the Beautiful Disaster and how it all went Down. The facts are All Messed Up but I'll Be Here a While if you want the scoop but I think someone spilled a Homebrew in the Transistor.
311 is my favorite band of all time. 98% of the facts in this I knew, had no idea that Shaq had that lawsuit threat. Good stuff as always!!
😳💭
If Shaq busted his mouth on somebody's head.. Can you imagine the damage to whoever's head that was?? I bet they still have a goose egg to this day😂
Also hes in pretty much every ad on tv
Shag needs to be sued with tom brady over that $ scam
He is being sued.
Only an idiot would invest in crypto.
My wife and I saw 311 at Saltair (UT) during their tour for Soundsystem. Incubus was the opening act.
I saw em that summer too
I had Shaq-Fu for Sega and remember Shaq rapping about "Phil is my father". Lost memory that just came back!
I remember From Chaos being the first album I actually bought with my own money when I was 11 years old. Still one of my favorites
I was 13 and my dad bought it for me when he was visiting me and my sister from California after my parent's divorce. Bittersweet memory.
311 should be in the RRHF
Legends

yes Transistor is an amazing album where their songwriting and production value went sky high
@@SynthysynthsynthGreat album
It is cheesy but I seriously love Martinez’ lyricism. Especially when he speaks spanish, as a mexican myself it’s pretty cool.

*_0:18_*
*_Dude, “Amber” is their biggest hit of their entire career, and that was on From Chaos. LOL_*
No if you look at singles charts you wouldn’t believe looks like it charted higher on the alternative charts
Amber is not the biggest hit of their career. It didn't even make it to #1. Down, Love Song, and Don't Tread On Me all went to #1
Wait....shaq x 311 is a thing!?
this is wild, i never even knew this happened
Great 👍 video
311’s Blue album went Triple Platinum
What i don't understand is why shaq woukd do this to them. Shaq and 3qq have been friends for a long time in fact they even made a song and sahq was rapping on it. So I guess I'm just confused if he needed money or if they had an argument or falling out. I hope not cause I love 311 and shaq is a cool dude imo so hope they resolved the issue
Man, you can really tell the age difference in the comments with post-grunge bands. Underrated?!? A few years earlier and these dudes wouldn't have even been signed.
311 is an unstoppable force. Don’t sleep on them
"Currently works as an analyst for TNT", how dare you forget that he tours as DJ Diesel! /s
The lyrics: Psycho, Psycho, Psycho 100x
Down, is timeless.....
Video starts about 2:00
Shaq is a Freemason, 311 are Freemason, so a collaboration isn’t so surprising when you think about it
And you sound like a MAGAt which is worse than freemason
Wait, you're saying "You Wouldn't Believe," which only charted in thr Alternative charts, was more successful than "Amber," which hit the bubbling under 100, modern rock, AND Adult Top 40 charts?
No he said it was one of their biggest hits, not THE biggest hit.
Yeah you completely misheard him. He mentioned it only got on the Alternative charts, followed up by 'one of their most successful hits'.
Yes meant alternative charts here’s the source en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/311_discography
Shaq started a huge mosh pit at a skillet show 😂
Loved these guys Bach in high school I actually bot from chaos back then
Shaq wasn’t going to sue anyone. He’s too good of a dude.
Fun story. I like 311...and Shaq 🍻
I love 311. I like all their albums. although i tbink voyager is a way stronger record than mosaic. But music,self titled and transistor are still the jewels of the discography.
Just get rid of the John Feldmann tracks on both of those albums and they're even better!
The Feldy tracks are hit and miss but you're missing out of you just flat out dismiss all of them
@@Rob_Cary I like all of mosaic but I just think voyager is a stronger record. Better guitar tone, not as poppy, shorter run time,etc..
Not as poppy? I GOT A GOOD FEELING I GOT A GOOD FEELING ABOUT YOU.
Give me a break lol 😆
@@whyyoulittle4537 I said not as fool I didn't mean it wasn't poppy. The majority of the tracks are heavy.
311 is one of the best bands to ever exist!
Sad
Great video.
"Threatened"
Literally a joke
I usually love rock feed, but this feels like click bait. Why did Shaq threaten to sue? Was that question ever answered?
Bruh that wasn’t the biggest hit on that album. Amber and I’ll be awhile were way bigger
If I see Shaq in the pit I'm getting that money
I am an absolutely huge Shaq fan. 311 was alright to me but not really a fan per se. I followed Shaq his whole career even till now, but I have never heard of this! That's really cool to hear a new fact I didnt know from so long. ago.
Did not know Shaq is into rock. That's crazy
Executive Coach builders Ryan.
Did you ever say why he sued?
Shaq never actually sued them. He just threatened too
He never sued and he does say why
Guess I missed it. So he just threatened to sue if they released it ahead of time. Cause of basketball.
@@guyfromnj yea, if they showed the footage of him playing ball with the band.
Head full of ideas
311: in my regular rotation since the mid 90s.
Still my favorite band.
So why did he threaten to sue, you never really said why?
If they showed his feet
Staph would take him
Has anyone here ever looked up what a 311 is in police code? Just curious.
Didn’t look it up but pretty sure it’s something about nudity.
@@stephenbarone4053 What's something everyone is worried about going on in the industry?
The band's name was chosen by P-Nut from the police code for indecent exposure in Omaha after a friend of the band was arrested and cited for skinny dipping in a public pool.
@@13lood13ath They're from Nebraska right?
@@chrismaher8084 Yep.
I used to like 311. Long time ago.
What happened?
@@davidl570 I guess I out grew them.
@@earthstrong-43.72 Sorry to hear that! Oh well.
They still fire
Wow this passed me all the way by 😂😅
I like 311
“You wouldn’t believe” was the biggest hit on from chaos? That album as Amber on it.
A Collab with Shaq? 😅 That must have went well I don't remember this at all. Random AF
311 coukdve went so far and stayed so relevant. They couldn't handle when controversy came up. Its too bad they aas great
311 was one of the best concerts I ever went to! It was bananas! Girls were showing their tatas to everyone! 🤣😂🍈🍈
I’m confused bc you do see his shoes in the music video. You see it a lot.
Something is missing in this story.
He said his feet as in not with his shoes on
I always enjoy hearing 311's cover of The Cure's Love Song. I think it's better than the original.
I love 311. I love shaq. I don’t wanna see feet. This is a complete victory. 😊
Had no clue what Shaq was doing now ..... thanks for the update 😒🙄
?
I remember when everyone thought these dweebs were skinheads.
I'm not a fan of 311 but I'm a NBA fan
@@Synthysynthsynth 😆
Thanks for the information.
311 really sucks live
This might be the most hilarious comment on UA-cam 😆
@@Rob_Cary they do…. Voice sounds like shit
You can say alot of absolutely true negative things about 311...Them being a bad live band is not of them.
😂😂 yeah, okay sure
