a friend of mine who has an up and coming band (called Trip Device, out of San Fran, Cal) is a huge GLU fan. In fact we saw GLU in 95 in Salt Lake City. To say that GLU was an influence on the Trip Device sound is an understatement. I wonder how many other bands out there are/where GLU fans before hiting hit big?

i mispell because, my physical body (ie: my hands), can't keep up with the awesome power of my brain.

I mispell because I had a stroke when i was 12 shortly after my mother killed my father after finding out that he was sleeping with my aunt.

311 lists GLU as one of their influences in the blue album insert. Additionally, the song "What was I thinking" on transistor always seemed like a pretty blatant rip-off of "don't know how to be" to me.

wow

wow, 311 - that's cool. What was I thinking is one of my fav 311 songs, it's the kind of song I can play in front of my conservative wife and she doesn't know that the song has lots of bad words LOL!

Want to check out a band with some heavy GLU influence, check out my bro Brian's band http://www.tripdevice.com

There's a lot of lesser knowns too. I'm sure anybody here that plays has some glue influence in them. I hear Dave's voice style and even some jeff in Plastinum's work, I have a song named Plunge that to me resembles some early GLU. It's fun to remenisce like that when you write, you know?

i just looked at my blue album insert and i didn't see anything refering to GLU??
it kinda seemed to good to be true considering GLU's self titled came out 2 months before 311's blue album did...
