Bio

Where do I begin? NOFX has been around for just over 20 years now, which is amazing for any band. They have played many different styles, such as ska, punk, hardcore, and rock.

Forming in 1983 in Berkely, California, NOFX started out as a punk band. Fat Mike (then known as 'Misfit Mike' - he had a huge devilock (http://no-eff-eks.com/bio/images/misfit_mike.jpg)) was in a band called False Alarm, but he quit to start a band with Eric Melvin. Eric Melvin and Erik Sandin knew each other. They skated together, and Mel convinced him to join his band as a side project from Caustic Cause. (Sandin's band)

Mike and Mel got the name 'NOFX' from an old band called Negative FX from Boston. Negative FX broke up, and Mike thought the name was cool, so he came up with NOFX. Mike hates the name now, though.

A few 7"s were released on Mystic Records, including Maximum Rocknroll in 1984 (which was re-released on CD in 1992). So What If We're On Mystic was released in 1985, after Sandin moved to Santa Barbara and was replaced by Scott Sellers on drums. Sellers quit, and was replaced by Scott Aldahl. Dave Allen joined the band as a vocalist because Fat Mike couldn't sing, though Allen died in a car accident a few months later. Imagine what NOFX would be like now if Fat Mike didn't sing and they had a separate vocalist. :eek:

In 1985, Allen died, and Scott (the drummer) quit. Mike and Mel went to colleges in California. Mel met up with Sandin and convinced him to play drums with them again, since they had no drummer. Dave Casillas was discovered and he played guitar for a while.

Dave eventually quit the band, and Steve Kidwiller was discovered. He was awesome. If you've ever listened to S&M Airlines or Ribbed, you probably know that he played lead guitar. He was an amazing guitar player that could play great solos. Just listen to Green Corn or Shower Days (I've provided both songs for download) and you'll see what I mean. Unfortunately, Steve quit the band in 1991. Apparently he had problems with other members in the band being heavy drinkers and addicted to heroin (*cough* Smelly *cough*). He thought that punk wasn't going to go anywhere, and he would be better off in a rock/metal band.

El Hefe (Aaron Abeyta) was discovered in 1992. He was a very skilled guitar player, as well as on the trumpet. Songs like Eat the Meek and Kill All the White Man just wouldn't be the same without the trumpet. White Trash, Two Heebs, and a Bean was released in 1992. It was almost titled White Trash, Two Kikes, and a Spick, but Melvin's grandma was offended by the title. :lol: NOFX has not changed members since Hefe Joined in '92.

In 1996, Heavy Petting Zoo (Eating Lamb) was released, and there was tons of controversy. The original cover had a picture of a guy 69-ing a sheep, and a lot of people thought it was gross. Due to a lot of people complaining about it, it was later replaced by the guy just fingering it. :p

The Decline was released in 1999, and it is considered by some (like me) to be one of the greatest pop-punk records of all time. It's 18 minutes of pure energy. With great bass lines, and some killer solos, it's one you'll want to listen to again and again. I'll try and upload it so everyone can listen to it. :D

NOFX went on to release Punk in Drublic, So Long and Thanks For All the Shoes, and Pump Up the Valuum, all milestone pop-punk albums.

In their more recent years, NOFX has gone towards the more political side of punk. Writing songs like "Idiot Son of an Asshole" and "American Errorist" has caused a lot of people to either A)Stop liking them and wishing they would go back to how they were, or B) Start to like them more and start to hate the president to be cool. They always had some political elements, but I thought they were better before The War On Errorism.

NOFX has become one of the most influential pop-punk bands of all time. Let's hope they can stick together and make it another 20 years. :chug: They'd be rockin' in their 60's. :cool:

I'll probably realize some things I missed eventually, so there will most likely be some editing. And I know that there wasn't a lot of information on their more recent days, but I couldn't find anything about it. It was all about when they first started. Feel free to ask/comment/suggest anything. :)


A Few Interesting Facts

-At Warped Tour '98 in Houston, Texas, NOFX thought they sucked so they threw $5,000 in $1 bills into the audience.
-El Hefe was in the Bad News Bears.
-In the Simpsons episode "Bart vs. Lisa vs. the Third Grade," Fat Mike and El Hefe's name appear on the wall of lost children.
-All of the members today are over the age of 30.
-Three members of NOFX were influenced by Minor Threat's straight edge movement in 1983, but they were never a straight edge band.
-Fat Mike isn't that fat.

If any of the links for the songs don't work, let me know

[roofee0]

You should probably add a brief history of the band.

Edit: Nevermind, second part wasn't there when I posted. Good profile.

[Gnarmageddon]

Yeah. I did. Patience, my child.

[Permanent Solution]

Yeah...I was he first post and I was like wtf no bio? But then I decided to wait :D

[RazorsInTheNight]

That was very good, a quality profile.

[ed4182]

nice bio, has anyone got their 7 Inch yet?

[Kif]

I have all 3 of the new 7"s and I can say that they aren't bad. The second one was very entertaining, whereas the most recent one was craptastic

Great FA, although you might want to fix the link in the first post...

[Gnarmageddon]

Yeah, I just caught that. Thanks. :)

[Kif]

Just a minor gripe as well, but I'd put The Decline under EP's considering it's only 1 song

I agree with you on that TWOE isn't their best record either, although I think SLATFATS and PUTV deserve a little more credit than they get. Maybe their older stuff was a little more rougher and the songs had a bit more energy, but there are so fine songs on those 2 albums

[Gnarmageddon]

I was debating with myself on where I should put that, and I ended up going with full length. It's in EP's now though.

[Kif]

I'm uploading "I'm Going To Hell For This One", one of their better songs from the new 7"s. It'll be up shortly, I'll upload 1 or 2 more tomorrow

[Gnarmageddon]

Ok, cool. Thanks.

If you've never heard The Decline, THEN DOWNLOAD IT. It's so good.

[Kif]

I Am Going To Hell For This One (http://s50.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=02CPXIF8PN5DU2G7IRT1010D4I)

[cbmartinez]

Aweeeeeeeeesome FA. Sadly, I only have The War On Errorism but that CD owns. It's so fun, I love "Mediocore."

[RazorsInTheNight]

I actually can't stand War on Errorism, its just gets on my nerves with all the political whodacky.

[kieranushurnusmcgee]

Nice FA, i have 5 Nofx albums now :D

[Rancid Dan]

Nice Job, Spence :thumb:

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

Good profile. Great great great band. I have eight nofx cds :cool:

[Rancid Dan]

I have all of their albms Ribbed onwards, apart form MR&R, which i also have.

[ed4182]

i have all albums fullstop.

:)

WOE is great, i like the heavier stuff on it, has anyone seen a pic of Nubs? theres one on the fat wreck site

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

If you have all their albums you should realise that WOE is easily one of their worst, despite having a few great songs

[Untitled]

I have two of there cds (well one cd, but we wont go into that)

Good profile, great band, they make me want to dance.

[skateMASTERbater2]

good job. I have 6 of their Cds i think

[Kif]

i have all albums fullstop.

:)

WOE is great, i like the heavier stuff on it, has anyone seen a pic of Nubs? theres one on the fat wreck site
123, I have them all as well apart from the Greatest Hits

I have all their stuff as well, WOE is a good record when you put aside the fact that Fat Mike is now a political junkie.

[metty16]

War on Errorism has one good song, Sep. of Church and Skate. Great Band, Great Profile

[Gnarmageddon]

The only songs I really like on WOE are 13 Stitches, Whoops I OD'd, and We Got Two Jealous Agains.

[Kif]

Insulted By Germans (Again) (http://s50.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2E6GEURLRA0F53FY8QUPJW22KL)

It keeps saying it's blocked on mine though, even though I just uploaded it. Can anyone else see the file?

[Gnarmageddon]

It's not working for me either.

And by the way, that other song you posted was really good.

[Rancid Dan]

Great songs on WOE :

The Seperation of church and skate
The Irrationality of Rationality
Idiots are taking over
She's Nubs
Mattersville
Decomposeur
Mediocore
American Errorist
We got two jealous again
Regaining unconsciouness

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

Great song on WOE:
Seperation Of Church and Skate

Good songs on WOE:
Irrationality of Rationality
Franco Un-American
Idiots Are Taking Over
We Got Two Jealous agains

Mattersville
Mediocore
Anarchy Camp

[Kif]

I'm surprised Whoops, I Od'd isn't on any of those lists

[Rancid Dan]

Meh, i don't like it much

[albert_bass]

I've just read the profile and it's great. I've always been a big fan of them so I knew almost everything but it's good to refresh your memory every now and then. Very good job.

I'm surprised Whoops, I Od'd isn't on any of those lists

I'm not surprised. They have like 70 better songs I can think of right now. But it's a good song too. The bass riffs are cool.

EDIT: I thought you meant the first list.

[vote me]

Nofx
great band
great profile
good job
ill sleep well tonight
thank you

[Fabz]

Going to see them on June 26th, in Montreal and they will come with Good Riddance....arg I can't wait :) !!!

WOE is not a bad album...but really not as good as the others.

[albert_bass]

That's great, I love both bands.

[RazorsInTheNight]

If you have all their albums you should realise that WOE is easily one of their worst, despite having a few great songs..

I actually can't stand War on Errorism, its just gets on my nerves with all the political whodacky...

[Gnarmageddon]

TOOH's comment was directed towards the ed guy, not you.

[sketchyjoe]

NOFX are pretty average. They have a couple of great songs but far too many average or crappy ones.

The profile wasn't bad although I would have put more emphasis on Punk In Drublic as it is their most popular album.

WOE has one great song (Franco Unamerican) and lots of average ones about how punk they are.

[albert_bass]

^ Who wants this guy to stay in the punk forum? ^


/Raises hand.


But seriously, Franco Un-american is a very good song and I don't think they have that much of average songs.

[Rancid Dan]

Heh, Franko Un-American is no way the best on the album.

It's the poppiest, most wannabe political and annoying one imo.

[sketchyjoe]

It's also the catchiest.

[albert_bass]

Heh, Franko Un-American is no way the best on the album.

It's the poppiest, most wannabe political and annoying one imo.

No, it's not the best, but it's a good one. So poppy and so good at the same time.

[cbmartinez]

I love that song. The lyrics are great and I love playing it on my bass, it is really catchy. My favorite tracks on WOE are Mediocore, The Irrationality Of Rationality, and American Errorist. The only one I didn't like on the CD was Decomposeur. God, I love Mediocore.

[Rancid Dan]

The drumming on Decomposeur is awful.

Mediocore and Mattersville are ace

[albert_bass]

I really like Decomposeur. The ones I hate are Anarchy Camp or 13 Stitches.

Mattersville is meh...

And Mediocore is probably the best along with Separation..

[Rancid Dan]

I liek Decomposeur but the drumming seems awful.

[Gnarmageddon]

I like 13 Stitches. Even though the recording is awful. I think the lyrics are funny.

From TWOE's lyric book:
"Recorded at Motor Studios, except for 13 Stitches, which wasn't actually recorded anywhere."

[ed4182]

hey hey i never said its their best album i just said i like it, my personaly favourtie is ribbed, the greatest hits is pretty cool i lent it to my mate and he loves em now, its a good cd to hear nofx's diversity in their music

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

..

..

Must've quoted the wrong guy, sorry.

The Greatest Hits has the sh!ttest selection of hits ever. There's some much better stuff that nevere made it on that CD

[skateMASTERbater2]

i agree^
Dissapointing to see that there was only one song from ribbed and white trash, then 3 songs from war on errorism.

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

From WTTHAAB they did have Soul doubt, Bob and Stickin In My Eye, but there should've been at least 2 more from that CD

Moron Bros, shower days, Food sex and ewe, El Lay, Liza And Louise, Please Play This Song plus many more should've been on though

[skateMASTERbater2]

shi't, didn't see those. but yeah whatever, that's what i meant, alot of good songs missing from that album were missing

[albert_bass]

Is there philthy phil at least?

[Rancid Dan]

Yeah

[Rancid Dan]

NOFX chose what songs went on it, so they chose their favourites.

Its not a bad list at all.

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

Is there philthy phil at least?

Philthy Phil is on it. Favourites does not necesserily = best. they missed off too many great tracks. Fat Mike never really liked his old stuff when he looked back on it, and it's also hard for a band to pass judgement on their own stuff

[albert_bass]

It's difficult anyway to make a compilation... But who cares. We know all the songs and we don't need it so no need to buy it.

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

Oh i'm gonna buy it, as soon as i have enough money. I never have the money spare for CDs anymore, it's so frustrating.

[albert_bass]

But why will you buy it?

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

It's a new CD to get by NOFX. Helps the band out, and plus it has lots of added pictures and stuff in the booklet that i'd like to own

[sketchyjoe]

It's a new CD to get by NOFX. Helps the band out, and plus it has lots of added pictures and stuff in the booklet that i'd like to own
I've heard NOFX are really hard up.

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

I've heard NOFX are really hard up.

Well whatever. It'll obviosuly help a band justify touring and keep playing if they can keep getting fans to buy their CDs, rather than people saying 'ah they're rich, i'll just download'.

I had a feeling you'd comment on that for some reason

[albert_bass]

I don't really care about NOFX having or not money. I mean, I've got other bands to support.

[Fabz]

I don't really care about NOFX having or not money. I mean, I've got other bands to support.

True

[RazorsInTheNight]

I wouldn't purchase the Greatest Hits, but for that im only a casual NOFX listener. I would prefer to spend my money on other cds, but each to his own.

[jonesi1992]

I have no albums ,no money to buy them .So i just nick me sisters c.d's or listen on internet
Very good f.a

[Untitled]

I want to buy the greatest hits, but ive got no money, and theres a lot of cds i want to buy before that one.

[jonesi1992]

i know exactly wot you mean

[pimpy the pirate]

the download for the decline aint working

[-FiT-]

The Decline is the greatest song ever written

I have to give a shout out to Punk In Drublic.....So many good songs on that album.....THe War on Errorism was a little bit of a change for nofx in way of lyrical content.

What i I Love is many of the songs on Liberal Animation were about Vegetarians "Vegetarian Mumbo Jumbo" etc. and how stoopid they are. But now Fat Mike is a vegetarian and says he was wrong in his opinions

THat a boy Mikey....come to the dark side

[Gnarmageddon]

the download for the decline aint working

I actually like that album. It was the second album i got from them because i expected their first album to be the best. nofx seem to hate it with passion though

[Gnarmageddon]

[Gnarmageddon]

A band can be popular and not have 12 year old girls running after them.

[allsystemssuck]

Waiting 3 and a half weeks to book tickets for your favourite band when they haven't played here since 01 or 02, and finding out it's sold out, is a kick-*** way to spend a Thursday night :thumb:

[Rancid Dan]

:lol:

[jonesi1992]

that allsystemsuck guy is so gay,in his profile he put punk as his job.

[Gnarmageddon]

Yeah. It's a good thing he got banned. What a cunt.

[Agent_Oi]

NoFX is a kick-*** band. love the bass, love the guitars and te solos, love the drummin' (especially kick bass work). the decline has to be sum of their best work ever.

[jonesi1992]

Fat mike should be worshipped

[RazorsInTheNight]

He is worshiped, maybe too much. As much as I think Mike is a bit of a moron I still enjoy their music so it doesn't really bother me.

[StruckEverywhere]

Good for you Adam.

[jonesi1992]

someone said that hes got the fbi on him (fat mike that is)

[sketchyjoe]

I heard Medio-core for the first time in awhile today. I made me want to laugh and puke at the same time.


Medio-core = Most ironic song ever.

[jonesi1992]

that would be horrible laughing then choking on your own puke

[albert_bass]

that would be horrible laughing then choking on your own puke

lawlz!!!11 u r fukin funny!

[fatwreckpunk]

nice bio, has anyone got their 7 Inch yet?

yeah i got a few of them, not as good as i hoped so far. all a bit cheesy although a couple of good songs

"I'm one to speak, this song sounds like 50 songs you've heard before."

You do realize they made the song generic as part of the irony of the song right?

[sketchyjoe]

"I'm one to speak, this song sounds like 50 songs you've heard before."

Yes. It's still a retarded song.

[cbmartinez]

Meh, I enjoy it.

[Rancid Dan]

I like it, one of the best on the album

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

It's a pretty dull song, especially musically, but it is witty

[albert_bass]

Medio-core is great.

[jonesi1992]

Medio-core is great.

i agree

[metty16]

Fat mike should be worshipped
now you're the gay one

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

metty, now wot kind of a name is that, you are a gender confused,sexually disturbing mong

Ribbed is an amazing CD

Ribbed^. Get it while it lasts.

[jonesi1992]

nice one

[skateMASTERbater2]

they've been banned, finally.

Ribbed is an amazing CD
It's my favorite nofx album at times, it has so many great songs

[albert_bass]

Ribbed has always been my favorite NOFX album and definately on my top 10 of best punk albums ever.

[kieranushurnusmcgee]

In my opinion, Ribbed is by far the best album they've made.

[jonesi1992]

ribbed is great i agree

[Dave*Grohl]

Erik Sandin isn't the drummers real name, i dont remember what it is but it aint Erik Sandin

[Gnarmageddon]

He's been called a lot of things. You might be thinking of Erik Ghint, which is what they called him for a while. His real name is Sandin though. Check the official site.

http://www.nofx.org/history/history.html

Look on the right side at the members.

[jonesi1992]

there is the proof

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

4 from each album (not doing the earlier albums):

Ribbed: Green Corn, Moron Bros, shower days, el lay

White Trash: Stickin In My Eye, bob, liza and louise, please play this song on the radio

Punk in drublic: linoleum, leave it alone, jeff wears birkenstocks, happy guy

SLATFATS: 180 degrees, all outta angst, desperations gone, monosyllabic girl

Heavy Petting Zoo: Hobophobic, Philthy Phil, hot Dog in the hallway, What's the matter with kids today

Pump up the valuum: dinosaurs will die, take two placebos and call me lame, pharmacist's daughter, theme froma nofx album

WOE: seperation of church and skate, franco un-american, idiots are taking over, irrationality of rationality



some of those were impossible...

[Rancid Dan]

Good songs.

whatever did wants must have been on their.

And i find take two placebos pretty bad...

[albert_bass]

Good songs.

And i find take two placebos pretty bad...

Omg no to all except the first. Sorry Dan but it's my opinion. Whatever didi wants is an horrible song imo and I love take 2 plaecbos.

[Rancid Dan]

Ha, WDW is one of my favourite NOFX songs...

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

Omg no to all except the first. Sorry Dan but it's my opinion. Whatever didi wants is an horrible song imo and I love take 2 plaecbos.

123456789

Whatever didi wants is a horrible song compared to what they can do, and take two placebos is amazing, easily one of their best especially off that cd IMO

[daveblinkkid]

Very Good Profile. Nice job for ur first Fa.

[allsystemssuck]

Its people like that give people that listen to punk a bad name. They know nothing about the genre and pretend to be the **** with their dk avatars even though they have never actually listened to dk before. Nice one chump.

I have everysingle dead kennedys cd there is and fu'ck you, DIE.

You dont know me.

[RazorsInTheNight]

Anyone that post's such moronic things I would not want to know, seriously there is not need to act like such an elitist.

[StruckEverywhere]

You tell him girl!

[Hackman711]

Nofx

[MelonWagon]

nofx are definately up there on my list of favorite bands and i currently have 7 albums including the decline ep

[Hackman711]

Yup same here

[Rush--WorkingMan]

NOFX is a great pop-punk band. They are one of the three pop-punk bands i like (the others The Bouncing Souls, and old Blink-182). Their Greatist hits album is great (its called Greatest Hits: By Us) Listen to The Seperation of Church & Skate is a great song.

[Mild_child]

I Am Going To Hell For This One (http://s50.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=02CPXIF8PN5DU2G7IRT1010D4I)
what'd he do there?

[Gnarmageddon]

Hey, I remember this thread! :D

what'd he do there?
Read the lyrics and you'll see. And don't bump old threads unlesss you have something important to say. :rolleyes:

[Gnarmageddon]

Ok, so I'm bumping this thread. NOFX is an important band in pop punk, and we should have a place to discuss them.

I listened to Liberal Animation the other day. It's an ace album.

/lame attempt that will probably fail. :upset:

[chumpradio]

I always love listening to Theme From A NOFX Album, it always makes me smirk.
And August 8th is a great song, I was digging that quite a bit over the Summer.

Bumping this is a good idea. Are you going to rename it or anything?

[Mild_child]

so... i like nofx. Are they going to make a new album? I hope the greatest hits doesn't mean they will stop writing...

August 8th is such a good song. I celebrated it over the summer by sitting around all day and doing nothing. :cool:

I dunno, I might fix the capitalization.

hypocrite;)

Hey, I had good reason behind the bumping.

They released the 7"s of the month recently. I don't know if they'll be coming out with another album anytime soon. I think they might be compiling all of the songs from the 7"s into a CD sooner or later.

[Mild_child]

I think they might be compiling all of the songs from the 7"s into a CD sooner or later.
oh man, that'll be so awesome. I reall want to hear that pods and gods. I missed it's production

[Gnarmageddon]

No, I mean the 7"s of the month. Not all the previous ones. :p

[Mild_child]

From site:

Sorry...
The NOFX 7" club has been discontinued.


Okay, what is it exactly that they did on that?

[Gnarmageddon]

Hm. I dunno. Maybe they aren't. :-/

I have all but the new 7" of the month clubs, so hit me up on AIM or Soulseek if you want them.

Kif still hasn't given me the new one.

[Dead Star]

Hmm, does this thread need a name change?

[Mute Print]

I'll have to grab the 7" for August off you later Spence. I think that's the only one I'm missing.

What month was the first one released?

[Gnarmageddon]

I'm not sure if I have August. That might be the one I need from Kif. Do you know what songs it has on it?

And I think the first one was in February, maybe?

[Mute Print]

Actually, I'm not sure which songs are on it. I have February through July though, so at least I have most of them.

[Gnarmageddon]

Do you have Benny Got Blowed Up?

[Mute Print]

Yeah, that's on the one for July.

[Gnarmageddon]

Ah. Yeah, then I need to get the August one from Kif.

[Mute Print]

Okay, cool. When you get it, let me know. I'd like it as well.

[AlkoholikMouse]

NOFX are a fantastic band. They have it all. Comedy. Catchy hooks. Serious and political songs. Theres just nothing they cant do!

[form]

NP: Nofx-War on Errorism

[Mild_child]

can someone load some Nofx videos?

And how many music videos did they actually make?

[Gnarmageddon]

I have two live ones. Linoleum and Dinosaurs Will Die IM me or message me on Soulseek if you want them.

They have a bunch of music videos. I don't have any, but you can buy Ten Years Of ****in' Up at a store for pretty cheap. All of them are on it.

[ThisUserIsAPipebomb]

Seems to me, Pump up the Valuum is NOFX's best and most under rated album. It's the only album that has a real lack of gay joke songs.


Also, you guys seem to not have an official NOFX thread.

[Gnarmageddon]

This was supposed to be it, but it wasn't used all that much.

I enjoy talking about NOFX though.

There was a pretty big thread on them not long ago i think, but theres not realy much to talk about with them atm.

[Oz Rembrandt]

Well...

Anyone see them at Leeds festival? It was my first time seeing them live, and I thought they where incredible.

[Gnarmageddon]

They're on tour with The Lawrence Arms soon.

And their new album should be out in not too long, as well.

They better tour over here some time. Dosnt Fat Mike hate england though?

[Gnarmageddon]

:shrug: I dunno. I don't think they've toured the UK in a while.

I'm not sure, but I think the current tour is mainly on the east side of the US. Sucks.

[ThisUserIsAPipebomb]

I really hope they don't put all the 7"s on one cd. I'll feel so un-1337

[Gnarmageddon]

I don't think they're planning on it. A few of the songs will show up, but they're writing new stuff too.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Is The Decline on the greatest songs CD? I've been meaning to hear that song, and the GS CD is on that website.

[Gnarmageddon]

It isn't.

If you have Soulseek or AIM, you can get it from me.

[Mute Print]

"The Decline" is unbelievable.

[ThisUserIsAPipebomb]

It isn't.

If you have Soulseek or AIM, you can get it from me.Are you never on anymore? Or have I been blocked? :upset:

[Gnarmageddon]

You're still on my buddy list. I didn't block you.

[ThisUserIsAPipebomb]

You're still on my buddy list. I didn't block you.Are you on now? Coz my thing says you're not.

Also, I got a new screenname. Anarcchrist.

I'll just get Brian to do it, so it takes less time. If that doesn't work though, my AIM= AAlfeche email- AAlfeche@aol.com. Thanks though Spence.

[Mute Print]

Sent.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Sweet man. I got it. Thanks a bunch. :chug:

[Mute Print]

It's my favorite NOFX song. Enjoy.

[DJ Ducksauce]

I will. I've been wanting to hear it for a while now.

[Gnarmageddon]

What did you think, Justin?

[Drop The Baby]

The 7 inch of the months have all been brilliant, i'm missing the last few since the YSI thread was closed though.

They played the UK in the summer, at Reading and Leeds festival, and the first time they played the UK in a club show in 8 years was around last May. Now they've just finished their new album i'd think they'll be back next autumn/winter as they're playing Warped in the summer

[DJ Ducksauce]

What did you think, Justin?
Me gusta. :thumb: :thumb:
/is listening to it right now :cool:

The 7 inch of the months have all been brilliant, i'm missing the last few since the YSI thread was closed though.
There's a Megaupload link for Feb-Oct. in here (http://app.dagi3d.net/foropunk/)

Just scroll down to NOFX.

[Iron Bug]

RESSURECTION

So I'm listening to White Trash...

Discuss if you like it or not. Personally I do.

[yourstruly]

I don't actually have any full NOFX albums, except WIWC. The rest is just randomly downloaded songs.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Punk In Drublic is a very solid NOFX album. I like it a lot. I don't have too many of their other albums either. I need to get around to them sometime.

[yourstruly]

One day when i'm "rich and famous" i'm gonna buy every CD I ever wanted/want. Especially all Blink 182 and NOFXs.

[Ross]

I have every single NOFX album except for "I heard they suck live", and only 2 of them are copied. But I'll be buying the real things soon enough. I'm starting to buy the EPs now, but I'm totally pissed that I missed the 7" of the month club.

I'm a total fanboy, and I'm proud.

Seeing as you people don't have them, I may well upload them on the daily upload.

AZNGuitarist... does everything in that link you posted still work?! omgz

That link's one I found ages ago and showed the forum.
It's a great site, has lots of punk/pop punk and ska.
Pretty much all of it works except for the odd file.

[Ross]

Oh my god, I love you.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Wow, I totally forgot about that link.

/looks at it again

[Ross]

Some of them don't work now, but many are still up. The NOFX 7 inch of the month club is particularly cool.

It was a bit disordered, but I've sorted it all out and added cover art to each month. If people want I'll put my nice version on the daily upload.

[Get Fighted]

/Listening to 100 Times ****eder.

[yourstruly]

I tried the site, and most of the NOFX links don't work : ). Oh well i've downloaded so many of their songs I only have to download a few songs to finish up each album.

[Ross]

I'm working backwards through their CDs in the daily upload now, so you can grab any that you've missed from there.
