holy_roller99 05-02-2006 10:47 AM

it is one of my dreams to work at epitaph or fat most likely at west beach as a recording techinician.

[QUOTE=holy_roller99]it is one of my dreams to work at fat [/QUOTE]
It is one of my dreams.... to BE fat.

[QUOTE=<---NoFX--->]Then why not leave? I don't see how they can slate Mike, who is a good guy anyway and the label that they are on. It's hipocritical[/QUOTE]
Like I said... they signed a one record deal (PCL) and now they will leave. You can't call them out for this... unless of course their next record comes out on Fat.

<---NoFX---> 05-02-2006 11:32 AM

I take your point, although I think that it's unfair on Mike and NoFX as Fat have hooked them up with a deal

Weezerfan_returns 05-02-2006 11:34 AM

hooked them up? Fuc'k, any label in their right minds would sign Propagandhi.

<---NoFX---> 05-02-2006 11:35 AM

Perhaps in your opinion, they're pretty average in my eyes. PCL is an ok album

Weezerfan_returns 05-02-2006 11:36 AM

Yeah, but the three albums before that were badass. Even PCL was a decent album, just not as good as Prop's other stuff.

Weezerfan_returns 05-02-2006 11:37 AM

Propagandhi is a pretty big name, having them on your label is only going to help.

Drop The Baby 05-02-2006 11:39 AM

They're good, but Fat still took them on. It seems to me that it wouldn't have been a great deal on Fat's part to take on a band that don't tour and release albums every five years if they were purely into money.

And it seems to me that all the talk of Propagandhi's trouble with Fat has sprung up really quickly after the release of PCL, despite releasing things on Fat over a number of years

<---NoFX---> 05-02-2006 11:40 AM

They are a pretty big name band. But what it really comes down to is

NoFX > Propagandhi

Weezerfan_returns 05-02-2006 11:41 AM

On the back of Less Talk, More Rock, it says somethign like "so what if we're signed to Fat Wreck Chords" and from what I understand, Propagandhi and Fat have been having trouble ever since TETA.

The first song I heard by Propagandhi was Back To The Motor League and I got that MP3 off the Fat site, I was pretty sure the album that was released on was also on Fat otherwise why would the MP3 be on there

Weezerfan_returns 05-02-2006 11:45 AM

Yeah it was on TETA..... what is your point?

Drop The Baby 05-02-2006 11:48 AM

Which proves that to an extent <--NOFX--> was right to say they were being a bit hypocritical for remaining on the label they appear to have sucg problemns with.


And, as was brilliantly said above: NOFX > Propagandhi

<---NoFX---> 05-02-2006 11:48 AM

So they've had two releases on Fat and you said that their 'beef' started after TETA so why go back if they have a problem with the label, especially if it started before their most recent album

<---NoFX---> 05-02-2006 11:48 AM

Thank you

Weezerfan_returns 05-02-2006 11:49 AM

Because I don't think they've had a big problem with Fat until now. I think things have just escalated.

Drop The Baby 05-02-2006 11:51 AM

Well to be honest none of us will ever know until one of the parties makes a statement or something. We just guessing and that's getting no where to be honest.

La la ala alalala ala shs

Weezerfan_returns 05-02-2006 11:53 AM

True. I think propagandhi are being dumba[B]ss[/B]es.

Fat treats their bands really well, and is pretty damn independent. At the same time, they have a lot of great resources.

Man, i wish my band was on Fat.

<---NoFX---> 05-02-2006 12:01 PM

You're band is good, I check them out the other day




















The Decline has just come on!!!

Jersey's Best Dancer 05-02-2006 01:32 PM

[QUOTE=allofmeoliveme]Try listening to The Decline.[/QUOTE]

I've heard it too many times, and muscially its great, I never said they werent. That song is lyrically pretty good too, but that's just one song, even tho its long as hell. Overall, I believe Prop gets their politcal point across better than NOFX...

AIRIC 05-02-2006 01:38 PM

Propagandhi ain't nothin' to f[B]u[/B]ck wit.

go listen to the new podcast and get chris' response to nofx's song.

To clear things up, the feud started when Rock Against Bush first came out when Fat Mike asked Propagandhi to edit their liner notes for Bull**** Politicians because it could offend George Soros, a scumbag who donates to moveon.org. Propagandhi refused to be censored so they pulled themselves from the project, plus they didn't feel right just bashing bush, because they are quite aware that bush isn't to blame. America didn't just get bad. we've been a fu cked up country for hundreds of years! Nofx failed to see that voting wasn't going to change the status quo, and wow, would you look at that! propagandhi was proven right!

So there you go, that's how it started. They remained friends through it but differed politically, then fat mike got more involved with the democratic party, also saying stupid things like, "kerry is a cool guy, he plays guitar and snowboards" propagandhi's response, "Tell that to the people in iraq who are going to get bombed by kerry if he's president" (remember, kerry wanted to increase military presence.

so propagandhi writes rock for sustainable capitalism. the lyrics were posted here, but also read the liner notes, there's more cutting words in it. Obviously propagandhi's lyrics were deep and meaningful. One-celled creature is a bitchy whiny attempt to get back at propagandhi

But here lies the paradox. If it weren't for propagandhi, there would be no politically motivated, vegetarian nofx. Nofx admits this all the time. FAt mike says he listened to too much propagandhi. Propagandhi changed my life, so fat mike has to shut up when he tries to insinuate that propagandhi doesn't spark change.

for the record. PCL blows apart wolves in wolves clothing. I've been a fan of both bands for nearly 15 years. Propagandhi is better, sorry. Nofx has a lot more fun and catchy songs, but they don't amount to the quality in content that propagandhi puts out.

jord is the greatest punk drummer period. listen to last months podcast on g7 and you'll hear him rip erik's boring blast beat that he's been using for 20 years. good stuff

propagandhi for life! Of course The Decline too ;

Rise Me Up 05-05-2006 04:07 PM

I bought Wolves in Wolve's clothing today.

AIRIC 05-05-2006 04:12 PM

Hundreds of years?

Kickflip_Burrito 05-05-2006 06:31 PM

Judging from what droptheworld said, it sounds like Fat Mike was being dumb however, the song Rock For Sustainable Capitalism sounded pretty bitchy and ironic that its on an album released on Fat.

I dunno, but its getting to the point that all Nofx want or wanted to do is have a pop at Bush. I dont think they really do that anymore do they?

droptheworld 05-05-2006 08:34 PM

[QUOTE=Skrunnch]Hundreds of years?[/QUOTE]
yes hundreds of years, let's not forget about the slaves and indians. If you're going to use the weakerthans as your avatar, I'd hope you'd know this. Read Zinn, Chomsky and Ward Churchill, fat mike reads them all, he even knows.

Fat Mike and Chris go nearly 20 years back so that's why propagandhi stayed with fat wreck. They've always considered fat to be an indie label. They differed politcally but remained friends, now that scenario is changing. Listen to the G7 podcast. Last month they played the marxist brothers which was another cheap stab at propagandhi (which is addressed in this months podcast at G7 Radio). For the uninformed: G7 is the label started by Chris and Jorde of Propagandhi.

Rise Me Up 05-05-2006 09:19 PM

I'm pretty sure 60% (Reprise) is too.

Thanks, that cleared it up for me. I still rate NoFX above Propagandhi any day of the week though :naughty:

Brain Toad 05-06-2006 01:35 PM

Both bands are kind of boring

/trollish spam

Weezerfan_returns 05-06-2006 05:11 PM

Propagandhi and NOFX boring?

As with the whole feud thing, I think that Propagandhi might have a good point, but they also have a shi[B]tty[/B] attitude.

I'm tired of talking about this, I love both bands.
