decisions Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 New album on October 7th, titled "First Ditch Effort". New song is angry and dope. Very excited. 3 Quote
thongrider Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 I think it's pretty bad. I hated The Quitter too. Quote
twentytwenty Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 Haha, I'm super stoked for this album! Saw live last month, they were even better when Mike wasn't high as fuck! Quote
decisions Posted July 22, 2016 Author Posted July 22, 2016 Mike has been killing it live recently. I hope he stays sober. This song is really replayable. Perfect example of NOFX's melancholy side. The production is perfect, really stoked to hear more from this. Quote
Low Value Boy Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 You must feel like I follow you around Decisions. I like a couple of NOFX songs but generally I can't stand Fat Mike, absolute tosser and looks like a right fucking state. 1 Quote
Speedo Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 Yeah, he's a fuckwad but I like the music. I never really care about the people behind the music so it makes it tolerable for me. Quote
decisions Posted July 24, 2016 Author Posted July 24, 2016 lol Fat Mike and NOFX and general have some of my favorite personalities in punk. Extremely interesting and honest people which always makes for great interviews. Also have you guys seen Backstage Passport? That show was fucking awesome. Not sure there are many other bands who could pull that off and make it fun to watch. 1 Quote
jd9973l Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 Love NOFX, this new record is news to me im pretty excited. Enjoy the song too I bet its a good record. Quote

I've always liked NOFX the band, but fat Mike is a huge douchebag. Tries too hard to offend people because he thinks it's cool. Has no tolerance of anybody that doesn't agree with everything he does. Just an all around tool. Quote
decisions Posted August 18, 2016 Author Posted August 18, 2016 I love Fat Mike, I've never seen an instance of him being "intolerant". which I would define as a personal attack of some sort against someone for simply being different than him. He's just brash and direct, which will offend some people and that's the just the way it is. For example when he went on that conservative comedian's talk show in 2004 to talk about punkvoter, he made his intentions known but it's not like he just shouted in the dude's face or something. Same thing in the "NOFX goes to Bible camp" video, he lets everyone know that he doesn't believe in God but really isn't all that mean to them or anything. You see this at the end when he greets one of the dudes from Amber Pacific, a band which has no punk cred whatsoever. In short, you are one of the many people by Fat Mike for no real good reason.

Broken English Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 I've gone off NOFX since the last show I saw of theirs, where they were disinterested, cranky (Mike started culling songs off the setlist at one point) and generally boring to watch, and the show culminated with Mike kicking a fan in the face. The new song sounds pretty shit to be honest, though I've never liked Melvin's vocals. Quote
_Kyle_ Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 Mike has ridiculed bands before. I remember him making fun of Underoath for not believing in dinosaurs. That was great. Quote
