I liked the lyric cuz it jus meant that you should just do you no matter what people think. it is by far my fav album of all time…it never gets old!” Some of Gerry’s favorite lyrics include, “Fuck the naysayers cuz they don’t mean a thing, cuz this is what style we bring.” “ All Mixed Up was such a sic ass vid and the vibe was intergalactic. “It is so ahead of its time, I listened to that album so many nights and days and car rides. Picking just a song wasn’t an option for Gerry, he said the whole Transistor album cemented him as a hard core fan. “I got to see Sublime back on the scene, my fav bands Deftones and 311, Transistor and Universal Pulse in entirety, the campy vibes was epic! 311 outdid themselves with that show….I’m still in awe!” “I loved the long ass shows.” Favorite of these events he said was hands down Pow Wow. Shows Gerry has been able to see are all great ones: 3, 2008, 2010, 2012, 20, plus Pow Wow. It was the most brilliant band I ever heard and no one got them.” 311 was always too rap for the metal heads and it was too satanic for the reggae heads where I came from. “I watched the vid….my brain exploded! I loved the mix of rock, rap, reggae, funk, jazz. Then one day he decided to see why his brother thought it was so horrible. In comes MTV which was starting to show the video for “Down.” His brother didn’t like the song so for awhile every time Gerry saw the video start he would change the channel. He was really into Green Day at the time and he was looking for some “bad ass bands” that were original and captivating. Trinidad is where Gerry comes from and it was around 1993 that they got cable there. Hellllloooooo again my friends out there in 311 nation! I don’t know about you, but I’m ready to start this week off right with our new fan spotlight.
