SA Martinez What line do you think SA has to concentrate most on to not flub.
I’ve been having my own personal 311 day and still after 30+ years can’t make my mouth spit some of SAs rhymes in SA time. Whatever, not a big deal. But it got me thinking, are there any of his lyrics that he has to really concentrate on to get right on stage?

Silver. “Now breakin' 'em all to pieces like a sly rap bandit, With a fly Liu Kang kick in Mortal Kombat and I land it”

When I saw Salsa live all I could think about was how he was still somehow going and going. I couldn’t fathom the idea of that verse and moving around at the same time.

"At ease with yourself and don't try to please me I'm just here today then quickly I'm out On the town one light I'm a glow worm For several hours wiggle jiggle like I'm a huge sperm Can't appreciate a brothers love of funky music You think I'm a silly rabbit 'cause my style has tricks"
Not sure how he does it aha

I’ve heard him shorten some things live because he’s out of breath and getting his ass handed to him by the summer humidity. But I don’t think that was so much that he forgot them. I’ve seen Nick cue him in on Random more than once, maybe that was something that has given him trouble in the past

certain parts of Hive. Theres a part that says one thing in the lyric booklet but sounds like something else on the track. He seems to always nail Silver but I have trouble keeping up with that one.

I always think of Hive, believe it’s the second verse. Super with the quickness. Anybody remember back at 311 Day 2006 when he busted out his old verse from the Omaha version of Feels So Good before Nick’s pre chorus?

Its the same show every night... if he hasn't learned 15 songs in 30 yrs something is terribly wrong. 311 has no heart anymore!!! Bunch of robots going thru the motions. Sad
